  • The Lie: I Did It My Way Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 16, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,776 views

    "I did it my way" is the battle cry that sums up what so many people feel about their lives. They think this is a great idea... but it isn't. Why not?

    Back in 2010 there’s the true story of a British man named Shawn Murtagh who decided to wear a Halloween costume. To complete the costume he had a sequined top hat he wanted to wear at an angle on his head. But it wouldn’t quite stay on, so instead of attaching the hat to his head with a string, ...read more

  • The Overlooked Question Of Jesus

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 4, 2022
     | 944 views

    Belief in God is fading from all parts of society. The idea of faith is all but ignored. Jesus told us it would be this way before He returns. Is your faith in the Lord in the same shape as the world?

    " Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8, NASB). This question should be a clear signal for anyone with "eyes to see" that any idea of some last minute "national revival", which many well-meaning brethren would like ...read more

  • Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023
     | 988 views

    The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

    Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

  • Spiritual Suffering

    Contributed by Senior Pastor Ndayiragije-Misigaro Joel on Dec 10, 2022
     | 1,191 views

    In spiritual suffering, keep the truth, speak about the truth, and do not withhold any negative ideas. Within, the steadfastness of the faith is at risk of weakening. Always speak the truth. No matter what, God is the truthful one.

    SPIRITUAL SUFFERING: STEADFASTNESS OF FAITH “BECAUSE OF YOUR TRUTH.” In spiritual suffering, keep the truth, speak about the truth, and do not withhold any negative ideas.

  • If You've Seen Me Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022
     | 2,158 views

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more

  • I Will Be Back Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 18, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,566 views

    The idea that people could rise from the dead is beyond belief. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would NOT come back from the grave. So, why would we believe that we would?

    Howard Stern (who’s not really a nice man) has a popular program on Sirius radio where he interviews politicians and movie stars and so on. About 5 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a guest on his show and during the interview, Howard Stern asked Schwarzenegger “Tell me, governor, what happens ...read more

  • What Does The Bible Say About Sex Before Marriage?

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Aug 2, 2024
     | 773 views

    Sex outside of marriage is so commonplace (inside and outside the church), and many people do not even consider the idea of getting married, that it appears that no-one actually knows what God wants for us.

    “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a ...read more

     | 791 views

    This sermon delves into a profound and often challenging aspect of our Christian journey: suffering. The idea that suffering is an integral part of reigning with Christ can seem paradoxical, yet it is a recurring theme throughout the New Testament.

    Contributed by Dr. Fred W. Penney on Dec 21, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,786 views

    This sermon challenges us to incarnate the gospel; the big idea is "The Word became flesh - and now flesh must become the word." Instead of saying "Merry Christmas" - to fellow Christians lets say, "Merry Incarnation"!
