Sermons on Far Left:

Double Exposure

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2023

The photographic process is mysterious; a piece of film is exposed to light and images are left. Our lives are like that film. We present what we want others to see, but God sees beneath it. A 2nd exposure will happen - now or later!

DOUBLE EXPOSURE Eph. 5:8-16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Squeaky clean 1. One young woman decided to try clean her purse by throwing it into the washing machine—with the rest of the laundry. Her younger brother was startled, and asked, “Why are you washing your purse?” 2. Their father, who ...read more

Behold I Make All Things New

Contributed by Richard Stevens on Mar 26, 2023

Even though this World is corrupted by sin, in the end, God will make all things new. Brand new. Not remodeled, not repainted, not rehashed - but brand new - from nothing left over. I bring out three things God makes NEW.

INTRODUCTION I heard a story related about a Sunday school teacher who wanted to explain to the 6-year-olds in his class what someone had to do in order to go to heaven. However, he wanted to know what the kids already knew about the subject, so he asked a few questions. He asked, “If I ...read more

Gaal Driven Out Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 21, 2020

There is nothing surprising about what is related here. The drunken celebration of the previous night had left Gaal and his men both mentally and physically unprepared for any kind of effective military activity, and Abimelech and his army easily defeated them.

Chapter 43 Gaal Driven Out [Judges 9.34-9.41] Scripture: Judges 9:34-41 (KJV) 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the ...read more

Lost And Found

Contributed by James May on Feb 27, 2022

We may lose some things that may be desirable in this life by surrendering our lives to Jesus, but the life we gain is far greater than anything we have now. And the life in Christ is always learned through the preaching of the Word, in whatever form it comes to us.

How many of you have found yourself looking for something that was lost, but no matter how hard you searched, you couldn’t find it? I think we can all say that this has happened to us at some point. There is a commercial running on the TV right now where a man is searching the house over trying ...read more

A Sermon Of Note To A People Of Need Series

Contributed by Guy Glass on Oct 15, 2012

WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US IS BY FAR THE LONGEST SERMON WE HAVE SEEN IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, AND I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY, IS THE LONGEST OF THE BOOK ITSELF. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST SERMON GIVEN BY A NON-APOSTLE, AND WOULD RESULT IN THE FIRST DEATH OF A NON-APOSTLE.

A SERMON OF NOTE TO A PEOPLE OF NEED ACTS 7:1-8:1 INTRODUCTION: AT THE ONSET, I NEED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE EXTENT OF OUR TEXT THIS MORNING. LITERALLY, THIS IS A WHOLE CHAPTER.

The Scope Of Grace Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003

Many people consider it the greatest short story ever written because it speaks so truthfully to the human condition. It’s really the story of a father with two sons. One sinned when he left ­ the other sinned while staying home. We’re going to look at

The Scope of Grace Since most of you are familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son, I thought I would read a different version of it ­ it’s called the “Prodigal Son in the Key of F.” Feeling footloose and frisky, a feather-brained fellow forced his father to fork over his farthings. Fast he ...read more

The Truth About The Path To Egypt Series

Contributed by Carl Allen on Jan 28, 2009

Regardless of how the Lord blesses us, there is still a part of us that looks back longingly to the world we have left behind. As we see this man make his journey into Egypt, there are some truths about the path he took to Egypt that we need to notice th

The Beauty Of Grace Verses The Beast Of Sin Series

Contributed by Peter Bines on Sep 22, 2005

After all that’s happened so far – Jonah’s initial disobedience; God’s humbling of Jonah; Jonah’s going to Nineveh at the second time of asking; the Ninevites’ believing the message and being spared – surely you’d expect there to be a happy ending!

JONAH CHAPTER FOUR INTRODUCTION Most of us love happy endings!

The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021

Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

When There Is No One To Stand In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 18, 2024

God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

OFF-TRACK: The American church is far from what we should be. - I think this is largely beyond dispute, so I won’t belabor the point. - Let me simply share one proof that I think is instructive. - When you look at the early chapters of Acts, there are many people who are coming to know Jesus.

Keep On Running Series

Contributed by Frank Lay on Sep 20, 2004

It is easy to want to give up and drop out of the running. God does not want us to become weary and lose heart. Brethren, We have come too far to turn back now. How are we to run the this race of life?

KEEP ON RUNNING THE RACE Hebrews 12:1-4 The Bible is full of references to Sports. Warren Wiersbe said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would read the sports page. He often talks about running in a race, the victor’s crown, even about boxing. The writer of Hebrews also used ...read more

Missing Link Or Anchor Man?

Contributed by Rick Finitzer on Jun 22, 2010
