    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,613 views

    Are your steps being ordered by the Lord? Do you delight in the will and way of the Lord for your life? Have you fallen? Have you risen back up to get back in the fight? Where does that place you?

    Intro: Psalm 37 contains a reference to three particular men. In v.16 we find “a righteous man,” in v.23 we find “a good man,” and in v.37 we find “the perfect man.” If we were to apply this from a NT viewpoint, we might say that the “righteous man” ...read more

    When we feel the storms of life, we need to remember this story of Peter stepping out of the boat and walking toward Jesus, and the leap of faith he took. If he could do it, so can we.

    Sermon # 11 - Faith That Inspires Others Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 654 views

    Faith prompted Abram, Ruth and Matthew to step out in obedience to God. The outcome was that they were blessed and became an inspiration to others. May our faith in God be so contagious that many others will be encouraged to put their faith in Jesus.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him. (GNB) Abram believed the words of the Lord who called him, left his country and people to follow after God. The reason for this kind of implicit ...read more

     | 4,392 views

    First John 2:7-11 gives us another visible, objective evidence that someone's profession of faith to be a Christian is credible.

    Scripture John wrote his three letters to oppose the false teaching that was creeping into the churches for which he was responsible. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism. The false teachers were claiming that they had a knowledge of God. The word “gnostic” comes from the Greek word ...read more

    What is the significance in the first day and what does it say against the backdrop of evolutionary science. Even more, how does Jesus fit into this motif?

    Introduction Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve shared with you the impossibility of evolution. This is not a philosophical argument, but a theological fact. Evolutionists seek to dispose of God, especially the God of the Bible. Evolution, the gospel, and our salvation are impossibly compatible. ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,411 views

    A sermon about the need for more personal testimonies, and the need for more involvement on behalf of Christians, both in and out of church, to tell others. This precedes our STEP 3 class, which will help us to understand our Spiritual Gift(s).

    In JOHN 19:34 it tells us that, as Jesus hung on the cross, a guard pierced His side. In JOHN 19:35, it says that the one who loved him saw it personally and knows it is true.

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,531 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more
