    What About Warnings?

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Aug 24, 2019
     | 3,563 views

    In Acts 19-21 we see Paul intent on returning to Jerusalem, even ignoring Holy Spirit inspired warnings. What was his rationale?

    In his 2005 song by the same name, Bon Jovi asks the question: “Who says you can't go home? Who says you can't go back? I been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left I wanna go Who says you can't go home?” Well, actually many people have said it ...read more

    El mensaje del ángel fue: El niño tiene un PADRE, un NOMBRE y una MISIÓN

    Intro: Era la víspera de Navidad de 1971, los regalos ya estaban preparados bajo el árbol y nosotros ya estábamos ansiosos por abrirlos. No podíamos esperar el momento de recibir esos regalos. No había nada como eso. Por supuesto, cuando mi mamá se descuidaba, nos ...read more

    Did You Sell Your Soul To The Devil And Now Want It Back?

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Oct 8, 2024
     | 758 views

    The lie of the devil is a person can never escape his clutches. Yet it doesn't matter how deep into darkness we have gone, Jesus provides us away of escape at the Cross.

    Read it or watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMGZ4fRF0nY Lately within the entertainment industry we have heard from numerous entertainers that have confessed to selling their souls to the Devil. The motivation has been to gain some sort of worldly advantage; success, fame and ultimate self ...read more

     | 4,660 views

    This message looks at the story of Samson and how people can deal with narcissism

    In November 0f 1998, I began a sermon that had been percolating in my mind for a few days. It was going to be a message about Samson, the Judge from the Old Testament. If you've attended Sunday School or VBS, you know who I mean, the dude with the long hair who was betrayed by Delilah. Sound ...read more

    Cristo Es El Motivo De La Navidad

    Contributed by Raquel Martinez on Dec 18, 2024
     | 643 views

    Hoy dia la gente celebra la Navidad sin entender que es lo que estan celebrando. Pero nosotros sabemos que el unico motivo de toda la celebracion es el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador, Jesus.

    Aquel día que un ángel apareció en medio de la noche, para dar el anuncio del nacimiento de Jesús, los pastores se asustaron mucho. Su llegada asustó a los pastores que estaban cuidando sus ovejas, como hacían siempre y de repente este ángel aparece en la ...read more

    Mourning To Morning: Yes—it’s Ok

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 383 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 173 views

    The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

    Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more

    Philadelphia: When Faithfulness Is Protected Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 132 views

    Philadelphia reveals faithfulness without strength: Jesus sees quiet obedience, keeps His people near, opens doors by grace, and promises permanent belonging forever.

    By the time we arrive at Philadelphia, we think we’re on familiar ground. The city of brotherly love. We’ve heard the phrase before. We know how it’s supposed to sound. No Quakers. No Liberty Bell. No 76ers or Eagles. No cheesesteaks. This Philadelphia is older than the phrase as we use it—and ...read more

    How excruciating is the heartbreak from the betrayal of a trusted friend! David expresses his anguish as only David can.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Sought By God

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 24, 2022
     | 2,623 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    Seek God While He May Be Found Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 20, 2022
     | 3,752 views

    Now is the day of salvation! Come to the waters and drink, because the waters are fresh! Why would we turn down the generous invitation to draw near to God? Why take a pass on the waters of life, or on the great feast in the Lord’s presence?

    It has been said that at the heart of every message spoken by God’s prophets are these three simple words: return to me. For centuries, the LORD sent many messengers to his people—everyone from Amos, that simple farmer from Tekoa, to Zephaniah, a member of David’s royal house. Whatever their ...read more

    This Changes Everything: The Second Advent Series

     | 2,795 views

    We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

    “I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more
