The Feast Of Firstfruits

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 28, 2021

Today's Message looks at the 3rd feast of Israel, the Feast of First Fruits, and while it is the least known feast, it is the greatest of all the feast and the one that holds the most importance.

The Feast of Firstfruits: Leviticus 23:10-14 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwqj_SL8TFU The feast of Firstfruits is probably the least known of the seven feasts of Israel.

All Religions Do Not Lead To Heaven Series

Contributed by Dr. Joel Perttula on Aug 13, 2020

There's a saying, "All roads lead to heaven." At first glance, the saying comes across as open-minded and tolerant but the reality is that there is only one way to heaven.

Psalm 1 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 24, 2020

The first of the 150-psalm collection contained in the Old Testament book of Psalms, intended to follow "Introduction to Psalms" which is a sermon separate from the various psalms examined in the series.

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

Praying With Purpose

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Mar 19, 2020

In these uncertain times it is important that Christians begin praying with a purpose. This is my first "remote" message to my congregation in light of not being able to worship together because of COVID-19.

Praying With Purpose Scriptures: Matthew 6:5-8; 25-34; 7:7-8; Luke 22:44-46 As you know, I have been doing a series on the word “IF” and how it is used in Scripture to show some of the conditions that we must meet as we walk in fellowship with God.

The Armor Of God Part 1 - Truth Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 8, 2020

We are told to wear the WHOLE armor of god. Not just the piece we like. The first piece of armor is the "Belt of Truth." Note: all scripture is from the NASB95.

This is a command, not a suggestion. It is clear, we are to put on the full armor, not just select pieces of the armor, but the whole armor. This is where Christians get into trouble. We only want to do what is easy and do only what come natural. But the Word of God is clear. We are to put on ...read more

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

My Father told me when I was just a pup, "Son, the very first play is the most important. You must show your opponent who is the boss!"

It was good advice and I have never forgotten what he had said. Of course he was referring to football but it applies to most things, especially sports. Satan thinks he is the boss. He wants to boss you around in the RING of LIFE. From the time you are a young adult, he tries to impress his ...read more

Why God Chooses Man?

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Sep 7, 2017

No man has the capacity to choose God. And none can explain why God makes choices in the first place. It follows that He must choose those that will show His praise and glory.

Chosen of God Text: Ephesian 1:1-4 Who can explain Christianity? Any man that claims to have the answer is grossly mistaken. Christianity that can be explained is not real but lacking the substance of truth. Christianity has a depth and height that no man can fathom. Moreover, today’s sermon is ...read more

Where Is God? Where Are You? Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 23, 2017

John’s first glimpse of Jesus in this Revelation is extraordinary and strange. I’d like to focus on instead is where Jesus is. Jesus is in the midst of the Church and the Church is in the palm of His hand.

I was in the Spirit into the Lord’s Day (the Day of the Lord), and I heard behind me a great voice, like a trumpet, saying, I am the A and the Z, the first and the last and, What you see write into a book, and send to the seven churches, to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Tyatira, ...read more
