Your Money Is Loaned - Not Owned Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2025

As a Christian, should I give a 10th of my income to God each week (should I tithe)?

Let The Dead Bury The Dead

Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 14, 2008

The Jews, The Law And God Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 4, 2002

Jews have an advantage in that they have God’s law in written form and were the first to receive God’s grace but it doesn’t help since they’re unable to keep the law.

There is no doubt in Paul’s mind as he writes to the Church at Rome, that the Jews are pre-eminent in God’s sight. He makes it clear in 1:16 that the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Mind you he uses the same hierarchy in ch ...read more

The Lost Sheep Series

Contributed by Billy Kryger on Feb 6, 2003

First message in the series "God’s Lost and Found" from Luke 15. This message is deals with the fact that all are lost sheep in need of the Good Shepherd to find and carry them to the safety of the sheepfold.

INTRODUCTION: Luke chapter 15 is what I like to call “God’s Lost and Found Chapter”. It is not three separate parables but rather one parable (v. 3) with three parts. Jesus uses three illustrations in this chapter to answer the Scribes’ and Pharisees’ accusation that He associated with ...read more

"The Guided Missile"

Contributed by Ray Scott on Feb 5, 2004

This is a first-person, expository sermon, told from the point of view of Micaiah, the Prophet of God. Micaiah tells the story of King Ahab and King Jehoshaphat, and the desire (or lack thereof) to know the will of God.

“The Guided Missile” INTRODUCTION: Do you really want to know God’s will? A lot of people DON’T. WHY? BECAUSE … it might NOT be YOUR WILL. THEN … that becomes a problem. We have to choose between: o Doing what we KNOW is the will of God … BUT … what we DON’T REALLY WANT to do. o OR … ...read more

Christmas can be difficult and sometimes you just can’t wait until it is over. This sermon looks at the first Christmas through the eyes of Joseph and what it must have been like for him.

Hanging In There Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2005

Are you at the end of your rope? Suffering from trials and troubles? Perhaps it is the Lord’s discipline- given out of love for your good. Find hope and help in the first part of Hebrews 12.

The Apostle Peter to me is one of the great men of the Bible - not because he was so perfect and strong and patient and so much like the Lord - but because he was so imperfect and impetuous and impatient and so much like us! One of my favorite stories about Peter is found in Matthew chapter 14. ...read more

Oh, Really? Malachi 1:1-14 Malachi is the final book in the Old Testament. Malachi has the last say in the Old Testament times. Malachi is kind of a transitional book.
