Honoring The Son Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 13, 2011

This sermon addresses the discussion Jesus had with the Jews following the healing of the lame man on the Sabbath, and how Jesus’ words contributed greatly to their desire to kill him.

He Overcame Series

Contributed by Richard White on Oct 20, 2012

I gleaned this from a book by RC Sproul by the same title "12 Promises Christians struggle with". The question is Do we believe God or Not?

He Overcame John 16:33ff One of the main reasons we have a problems accepting the promises of God is SIN. Sin comes so naturally to us that our default position is not to believe God. Adam and Eve failed to believe God, when the Father of lies told them “You will surely not die, you ...read more

Even The Devil Believes In god! Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 17, 2024

The Bible teaches that Satan and his followers acknowledge God's existence, but they reject His authority and actively work against His plans.

Satan's very identity is defined by his opposition to God. He seeks to thwart God's purposes and lead humanity away from Him. This highlights the importance of spiritual warfare and our need to resist Satan's schemes by standing firm in our faith and trust in God. Let's remain ...read more

So... You Say You Believe Series

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 20, 2022

A true believer in Christ orbits his life around Jesus like the earth orbits around the sun. Just as the earth needs the sun, believers need the Son of God to perfect holiness within them.

So... You Say You Believe A. W. Tozer wrote, “Fortunately only a few things are matters of life and death, such as a compass for a sea voyage or a guide for a journey across the desert. To ignore these things is not to gamble or take a chance; it is to commit suicide. Here it is either be ...read more

Learning From Thomas Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 4, 2024

We can learn a lot from Thomas that by encountering Jesus and hearing the testimonies of others, we don't have to lose faith, doubt and fail to believe.

I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT IT WAS THOMAS WHO GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE OF DOUBT. WHEN WE SPEAK OF THOMAS, HE IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS “DOUBTING THOMAS.” ALTHOUGH UNDERSTANDABLE, IT REALLY ISN’T FAIR. ALL THE REMAINING DISCIPLES DOUBTED AS WELL. DEPSITE THEIR JOY OF PROCLAIMING “WE ...read more

Zombies, Zonks & Magic Acts Series

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015

God Reacts To Your Doubts

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

Our minds are tricky. All doubt and faith are not based on logic.

Where the Bible says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1), we live in a culture that doubts everything. In 2001, Katie Couric told Today Show audiences that seven percent of Americans doubt the moon landing happened — that it was staged ...read more
