What You Say Is What You Get

Contributed by Deb Ling on Mar 1, 2016

The Word tells us to speak to the mountain and it will move. Our words are powerful and we will get what we say. Therefore, you want to speak life not death.

What you say is critical to your walk and to those around you. God created the earth and everything in it by the Spoken Word and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was raised from the dead by the Holy Spirit. You and I have that same Holy Spirit with the same authority as they did at that time. If you can wrap ...read more

Prayer Meeting

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 21, 2016

This is a sermon calling us to repentance from a better than thou attitude of the Pharisee

When we look at the text today we see that Dr. Luke made no bones about who Jesus was addressing in this parable. Jesus was telling this parable to the high and mighty, holier than thou folks. He was addressing the religious folks that acted like they were just a little better than everyone else. ...read more

Do Not Grieve The Spirit

Contributed by David Mende on Jun 5, 2018

What grieves the Spirit? Many Christians often overlook the fact that the Spirit is grieved when we put down others through our words. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. The ability to speak is a gift from God. None of the animals can speak, but humans have the unique gift of speaking. However, the gift of speech is often abused by humans. While we can encourage and ...read more

The amount of change that we experience in 10 years can be overwhelming. This may have never been more true than in the decade we call ...read more

"hate Speech" According To Jesus: A Refresher Course

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 5, 2022

The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated for telling the truth about sin, spiritual death, and the need for redemption found only in Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). This message is still hated by the world today. Some things never change.

I want to begin with defining a term describing the attempts of Christians who, no matter how well-meaning their intentions, somehow believe that they can make friends with a worldview that hates them no matter what they do, say, or imitate. They bend over backwards trying to "fit in" ...read more

Rebuilding The Altar Of Sacrifice

Contributed by Paul Robinson on May 17, 2023

How do we as Christians become "acceptable sacrifices" to God?

Sacrifice is a word we don’t like. To sacrifice our time, money, our very lives, is a hard thing. But it is important. There are troops overseas right now who are sacrificing themselves; many have already given their lives. Many Christians have set aside the altar of sacrifice and replaced it ...read more

5. Dedication Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Nov 29, 2020

Jonah’s response to his “second chance” or renewed commission is DEDICATION.

God’s first order was disobeyed. The second order was dedication. It is either dedication or disobedience in our lives. The more you lack dedication to the will of God, the more you will be disobedient. Four thoughts: I. The Spirit of Dedication 1. Jonah arose and went to Nineveh 2. The spirit of ...read more
