    The freedom allowed for by our saviour’s sacrifice and resurrection.

    ILLUST: BRAVEHEART DVD CLIP (Freedom speech at end) Ask, “How many want freedom bad enough to fight for it against all odds?

    Our access to God is not by ceremonial ritual but the sacrifice of Christ.

    We have differing standards on what we consider “clean” and “unclean.” A lot depends on how meticulous we are. For some of us, when we drop a cookie, we follow the “5-second rule” (this was tested recently on Mythbusters). When I lived in Germany, everything was spotless--you could eat off the ...read more

    Audacious Actions Advocate Atonement Series

    Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Nov 11, 2007
     | 2,949 views

    The writer to the Hebrews attempts to show that the Offering of Christ at Calvary was far better than that of Abel. Abel offered up the first human animal sacrifice to atone for his sins, as good as that was-it pales in comparison to what Christ offered.

    HEBREWS 12:1-24 AUDACIOUS ACTIONS ADVOCATE AN ATONEMENT I. ADAM’S ADVERSITY: A. Acknowledgement. B. Atonement. C. Adorning. II. ABEL’S ACTIONS: A. Acquaintance. B. Attestation. C. Acceptance. III. ANOINTER’S ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year C--Assume The Power, The Devil Told Him

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2025
     | 405 views

    An image or fantasy is presented to me...

    Satan tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and his Father. “If you are the Son of God,” Satan begins two his temptations. Same with us, with baptism, “If you are a child of God.” Doubting baptismal identity. Lent is a time of self-appraisal and accountability. When we remember and reflect on our ...read more

    Just as God tested Abraham by calling him to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice, God also calls us to give up, to sacrifice, to trust even when tested.

    “A Test of Faith” Genesis 22: 1 –19; Hebrews 11: 8 – 12, 17 – 20 Introduction: Testing 1, 2, 3 Tell the story of the student who took an hour extra to complete an exam and the professor who waited for him only to tell him that he was going to fail because he took the extra time.

    Cleanliness (Leviticus)

    The Israelites were taught to use water, a waiting period, and sacrifice to cleanse themselves. We too have the gifts of water (baptism), savior of all time and the final sacrifice.

    Opening and Introduction I grew up in West Texas in a place called Big Spring. It’s a small town with tumbleweeds, oil wells, and loose dust that turns into a dust storm when the wind really starts blowing. One of our really big problems was water, and the water that we had was really hard. If ...read more

Brian Bill March 25-26, 2023 An aptronym is a compound word consisting of the adjective “apt,” meaning aptitude, and the Greek word for “name.” An aptronym is when someone’s name and occupation line up perfectly, when what they’re called describes what ...read more

    First Person presentation of Joshua describing his relationship with Moses. This was a powerful message that spoke of the lessons Joshua may have learned from his father figure - Moses.

    (I entered stage left, dressed as Joshua, the son of Nun, and carrying a Ram’s horn – or Shofar. There are several websites that will allow you to hear the sound of the Shofar, but I found that I was able to make a reasonable sound from the horn with very little effort.

    Many people get the first thing first...accepting Christ. Many miss putting the second thing second, giving themselves to the local church.

    July 13, 2003 First they gave themselves to the Lord; and then by God’s will, they gave themselves to us as well. 2 Corinthians 8:5 (GN) On the day of dedication of "Solomon’s Temple," the king erected a brazen platform in the outer court.

    This sermon is about Christ being the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

    I have a confession to make. It’s not easy for me to say this. This is difficult for me to admit. But, I used to watch professional wrestling. I know, I know, that’s hard to believe. That was back in the days when Hulk Hogan was in his prime. It was cool to watch professional wrestling. ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,595 views

    It is our attitude, not our sacrifices, that reflects the nature of the man within.

    COWBOYS VERSUS FARMERS? Genesis 4:1-8. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that “almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission” (Hebrews ...read more
