  • What God Expects, Not What He Inspects - Who Is Your Neighbor?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 24, 2023
     | 1,793 views

    We often do what we think God will INSPECT, not what he EXPECTS us to do.

    Do you love your neighbor? Love - that's a big word. Love is the fulfillment of all of God's laws. It's greater than any spiritual gift you could have. It's the reason God put us here on earth. It's even what Jesus said would confirm that we are his disciples. LOVE. But ...read more

  • Go! And Live What Jesus Expected - Revelation 3:15-16 Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on May 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 528 views

    Biblical obedience. Daily surrender. Sacrificial love. Passionate evangelism. Unashamed holiness. These are not lofty, elite-level Christian goals—they are the standard Jesus set. The normal Christian life, in Jesus’ eyes, is anything but lukewarm.

    Go! And Live What Jesus Expected Revelation 3:15-16 (NLT): "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Introduction: Setting the ...read more

    This 2nd parable of Christ’s tells of an enemy that sowed "weeds" in the field of the Son of Man. But in the parable Christ instructs his laborers (the angels) not to yank out the weeds? How come?

    OPEN: I’m told there are only two vegetables that are “perennial” - they don’t have to be replanted to produce on their own- several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year. Quiz: What are the only two vegetables that don’t have to be replanted? (Rhubarb/ ...read more

  • Get A Grip!

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Aug 15, 2002

     | 4,336 views

    A false view of God leads to a false way of living. We need to get a grip on a genuine view of God.

    August 18, 2002 There are so many false religions in the world. By far, the reason for such a phenomenon is the human problem of ignoring God’s owner’s manual -- The Bible. Without the Bible we don’t know how God views us, and we don’t know truth about how we are to view God. It is important to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,160 views

    Man is designed to be a spiritual being. He will worship something, even if it's a false god. The truth has been diluted and compromised by many, and we live among many who are confused. There is an urgent need for spiritual discernment in our day.

    The Need for Spiritual Discernment 1 John 4: 1-6 I am sure we’ve all been warned about believing everything we hear. The same caution should be applied for what we see as well. It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

     | 10,889 views

    1- A different gospel is no gospel at all 2- A different gospel is a perversion of the true gospel 3- A different gospel will bring on condemnation

    INTRO.- Who said "Variety is the spice of life"? William Cowper, who was an English poet. Since variety is the spice of life, something different is good, CORRECT? Not necessarily. It depends on what you’re talking about. ILL.- Something different was not necessarily a thing that my daddy ...read more

    The 8th sermon in our series from John's Gospel. In this sermon we look at Jesus cleansing the temple, and how that applies to us still today

    Jesus Cleans House (Gospel of John Pt. 8) Text: John 2:13 – 25 We’ve been studying the Gospel of John the last few weeks, and if you remember from last week, we looked at the beginning of chapter two, where Jesus performed His first sign at the wedding in Cana of Galilee.

  • The Danger Of Pride

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 7, 2025
     | 325 views

    Whenever we accomplish something good, it is only natural to have a positive emotional reaction. There is nothing wrong with celebrating an achievement, but there is a darker side to pride that can be ugly.

    Alba 4-6-2025 THE DANGER OF PRIDE I Corinthians 4:6-13 In the Peanuts cartoon, one day Linus tells Charlie Brown, “When I get big, I'm going to be a humble, little country doctor. I'll live in the city, and every morning I'll get up, climb into my sports car, and zoom into the ...read more

  • A Peek At Prosperity

    Contributed by Jeff Hagan on Sep 26, 2017
     | 2,956 views

    Word of Faith, Health & Wealth, and Prosperity gospels are all false gospels. This is a very brief treatment of just a couple issues regarding prosperity.

    Scriptures: Matt. 6:19-23; 23:25; Luke 8:1-3; 9:25; 12:15; 18:24; 1 Timothy 6:6-9 The “prosperity gospel” is a term used to describe, at least in part, the Word of Faith Movement (WOF), and the teaching is exploding in popularity across the world. But is it true? Where is the focus? Is the ...read more

  • What's A Preacher To Do? Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022
     | 2,596 views

    After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

    Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

  • Stumbing Along

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,224 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

  • Danger: Disguised, Deadly Deceivers! - Matthew 7:15-20 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024
     | 641 views

    It is God’s design that we follow leaders. But the false ones deceive and lead away from the narrow road to hell. The way to see past the sheep’s clothing to the actual fruit is by watching for the things that come from the heart and that are not a part of the act.

    Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more

  • "Unbelieving Believers" Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,825 views

    One sign of the last days is the number of "believers" who defect from the faith.

    Through-out this letter, John refers lovingly to his audience as "little children." This book records the loving teaching of a father in the faith to those who were his children in the faith. One of the things that children need to learn as they grow up is how to tell time. John sought to teach his ...read more
