Sermons on Flaming Sword:

On The Third Day

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 2, 2023

Today, we are going to open the Sacred Scriptures of Almighty God and relive the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to remind ourselves of the truth of the Resurrection. Today, we are going back to the third day.

The resurrection story is captured in three words, "He is risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal fraud, it's a masterful hoax. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, the songs ...read more

Making Sense Of God's Delays

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

When we receive a calling it can be exciting! We will start looking forward to seeing that calling realized! But, for a reason known only to God, we might have to wait a while before we see His plan fulfilled. Here's one possible reason why.

When we receive a calling from the Lord it can be an exciting time! We will immediately start looking forward to seeing our calling realized! However, for a reason known only to God, we might have to wait longer than others in order to see His plan fulfilled in our life, and it can be a ...read more

Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022

Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

God Gives His Spirit Series

Contributed by Ed Cheng on Jul 1, 2021

When God gave his Spirit to the believers, we see the church begins to expand and grow. God keeps adding new members to the church day by day until Jesus the promised saviour returns. Jesus is the beginning and the end.

Suffering To Setup Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Apr 1, 2025

Suffering is not a sermon topic we use much. It doesn't draw crowds or entice us to support the church. We fail to warn believers that there will be times of suffering. Suffering is something we all have to endure in our walk with the Lord.

One of the typical characteristics of our children—maybe yours too—was that they enjoyed playing their music loud. Not just loud… LOUD. The kind of loud that rattles the drywall and makes the dog rethink his loyalty to the family. One day, while I was getting dressed, I heard music thumping ...read more
