    "Team Extreme" Series

    Contributed by Kendall Hicks on Apr 25, 2016
     | 4,033 views

    INTRO: For the last few weeks, we’ve been a series on the family called “Bless This Home.” During this time, we have taken a few of Jesus’ beatitudes from Matthew 5 and have applied them to our families. You’ll remember that we defined BLESSED as having a much ...read more

     | 73,979 views

    Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more

    We’re going to look at an instance of GOD WINKING. We’re going to hear some wrong ideas of what that means, what it really meant, and why it’s important for us today.

    WHEN GOD WINKED Acts 17:30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BIBLE QUESTIONS 1. Q: Who was the greatest male financier in the Bible? A: Noah - he was floating his stock while everyone else was in liquidation. 2. Q: Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible? A: Pharaoh’s daughter - ...read more

    Fullness In The Field Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 8, 2020
     | 3,975 views

    As Ruth entered what appeared to be a random field, in hopes of being able to glean enough to survive, she had no idea of the providence of God at work in her life. She came empty, and yet, she would leave filled.

    Fullness in the Field Ruth 2:8-14 It has been a long journey from the desolation and desperation of Moab. Surely Ruth wondered what she would find as she made her way to a new land. I’m sure there were fears and uncertainties in her mind. Even though she was unaware, God was providentially ...read more

    God Suffers With Us Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Apr 15, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 576 views

    Main Idea: God not only suffers for us, but also with us. His co-suffering love is demonstrated through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. As followers of Jesus, we are called to co-suffer with others, bringing life and healing.

    You know how sometimes life just sucks? Well, Jesus gets it. He knew He was about to go through some really rough stuff, like dying on a cross. But He also knew that by going through that, He'd be able to help a lot of people. Just like when you're playing a tough level in a video game, you know ...read more

    Being Independent Together

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 1, 2021
     | 6,395 views

    Being independent of this world while being dependent upon God is a Christian's life's goal? This idea is similar to the thoughts which led to the thirteen U.S. colonies declaring their independence from Britain.

    Being Independent Together Scripture: John 8:36; Exodus 1:11a; 3:7-8; Romans 12:2 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the Fourth of July holiday.

     | 2,731 views

    he radical idea of the servant leader. I have brought this subject up many times. The true role of leader in the Bible is that of the humble servant. People have said that kind of limited view of leadership is "dangerous."

    John 12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. The radical idea of the servant leader.

     | 4,995 views

    Jesus always talked about Kingdom, the Kingdom of God, Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom is at Hand, my Kingdom is not of this world. Today when we hear the word kingdom, immediately many different ideas, concepts, and pictures come to mind.

    Leaving Religion Entering Kingdom By Bishop Melvin L.

    Advocate Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,374 views

    When we examined the word "atonement," we discovered that the idea of compensation is paramount in the Old Testament. In the New Testment we discovered that Jesus is the compensation for our sins, and to offer anything else is to insult the Spirit of grace.

    ADVOCATE Last week we examined the word atonement, and we found that the word is rooted in the Old Testament, where one who committed sin had to offer a sacrifice to compensate for the sin. We closed with 1 John 2:1-2, as translated by the NIV My dear children, I write this to you so that you ...read more

    Third Commandment (3 Of 12)

     | 2,039 views

    The Jews of old usually gave their children names that had meaning. Today we give our children names and have no idea what they mean, we go more by how they sound. Some do not even go by sound.

    Illus: In Connecticut four ministers were named Wright none of them were related. To avoid confusion: • One was referred to as: “Minister Upright". • Another was referred to as, “Minister Downright”. • And another was referred to as, “Minister Outright.” • And the fourth was referred to as, ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,036 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

    Explains how after being declared positionally righteous, we can become actually righteous.

    I. Romans 8:1 speaks of us being in a righteous position before God, but says nothing of actual righteousness. That is, at this point the one who believes in Jesus and the one who doesn’t may have the exact same actions, but a different verdict is reached, based not on their actions alone, but on ...read more

    One of the greatest truths of Scripture is that we can choose to do things our way and die, or we can choose to do things God's way and live.

    Make Up Your Mind Text: Gal. 4:21-31 Introduction 1.
