    How Far Is Too Far? Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Aug 7, 2009
    based on 70 ratings
     | 18,528 views

    What do you do when you don’t want to do what God wants you to do? What do you do when you know what’s right, but that’s just not the path you want to travel? What do you do when you and God just don’t want the same things for your life?

    Introduction I read a story recently about a 5-year old who decided to run away. The lady who lived next door saw him go, as she was outside cutting her grass. She said that she watched him walk up and down the pavement, in front of her house, hauling his little suitcase behind him. He would ...read more

    A Shorter List; 30 Vs 2 Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,439 views

    In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us an overwhelming list of 30 encouragments. However, they can be slimmed down to just two overarching themes: self-sacrificial love and overcome evil with good. We also see how these things point us to Jesus.

    Our text from Romans this morning is quite challenging. Paul writes to encourage God’s people to live in their in the calling, but his words are overwhelming to us. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good. Love one another…be fervent in spirit…rejoice in hope, be ...read more

    David, realizing the harmful effects of his sins on his health and overall well-being, implores the Lord to bypass the discipline he fully knows he deserves.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Jesus On Trial Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,565 views

    Today, the civil phase begins. The story of Jesus’ trek between Gethsemane and Golgotha is known as the Passion. You really cannot truly understand the cross until you understand how Jesus got there and what took place on the day He was crucified.

    Johnnie Cochran was the famous defense attorney of OJ Simpson. Many of you will remember his closing arguments in that case, “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” He was once asked whom he would have liked to defense. Cochran’s answer is telling: “Jesus is the person I would like to have defended. ...read more

    Deliberate Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,946 views

    One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

    Today is Super Bowl Sunday. CBS is hoping for more than 100 million people watch the game today.

     | 1,639 views

    If we dishonour Christ by treating the Lord's Table with disdain, we can anticipate His discipline.

    “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.” [1] “Whatever was he thinking?” That is the question that was no doubt on the minds of many Canadians when they first read of the fall of Colin ...read more

    Rash Promises

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 203 views

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

    Introduction – When a Vow Feels Like a Chain I once heard of a young businessman who, desperate to save his company from bankruptcy, blurted out a prayer late one night: “Lord, if You get me out of this mess, I’ll give away half of everything I own.” He never wrote it down or told anyone, but the ...read more

    God’s Judgment Against A Rebellious Nation Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 20, 2025
     | 566 views

    Jesus is either your Lord or your convenience, there is no middle ground here. The nation of Judah did not have Jesus (only a promise of Him to come); but now, He has become our only way and we must seek Him while we can!

    Isaiah, Part 3 God’s judgment against a Rebellious Nation Isaiah 3:1-22 and Isaiah 4:1-6 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons!

    based on 1 rating
     | 174 views

    Jesus did not come merely to decorate our lives; He came to disrupt our sin, call us to repentance, and redeem us by His blood. If Christmas does not lead us to repentance, we have misunderstood it.

    No Room for Sin: The Connection Between Christmas and Repentance Christmas Without Repentance Is Just a Sentiment Christmas is one of the most celebrated seasons in the world. Lights, carols, food, family, nostalgia. But Scripture confronts us with a sobering truth: the first Christmas was not ...read more

    The Dangers Of Relying On False Idols Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 2, 2025
     | 367 views

    False idols (or false gods) are worthless & unable to follow through with anything, but they appear to be attractive because they make us feel what WE crave (to be in control). Are we in love with our false idol, or our false god, and also don’t want to give it up?

    Isaiah, Part 19 The Dangers of Relying on False Idols Isaiah 46:1-13 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons, we are so glad you are here today! - Last week, we reviewed the importance of what God has done: -- He made a way, provided escape, delivered hope, & gave us a redeemer -- FACT: ...read more

    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 879 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more
