From Grief To Joy With Christ Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 20, 2016

What are you trying to do on your own that you cannot overcome? Jesus has given us a promise that we should not worry, but take heart, He has already overcome the world. Will we submit to Him and allow our faith to rest in His abilities?

So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

Contributed by Steven Cordle on Mar 28, 2025

Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

Watch Yourself Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 24, 2021

We have come to far to turn back now. We must examine our hearts so we can walk with the Lord and maintain that which He has begun in us! John knew walking with the Lord was not easy in the midst of continual opposition, but he also knew that faith would one day end in sight.

“Watch Yourself” The salutation "to the chosen lady and to her children" most likely refers to a specific woman and her family. This letter was written shortly after 1 John to warn about false teachers. Little has changed in two thousand years. Advocates of unorthodox beliefs still exist ...read more

Prophecy In The Rear View Mirror

Contributed by James Groce on Jul 29, 2002

Indeed, to hear that "Christ really did come in A.D. 70" reminds one of those against whom Jesus warned us about.............

I recently came across a booklet that declared that all prophecy is now only a thing of the past. This booklet stated that the book of Revelation is only a historic account of things long ago fulfilled. We will discuss a few of the points that this booklet in vain tried to make.

An Outline Of Acts 5:1-11

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 5, 2021

Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more
