    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Oct 16, 2006
    based on 27 ratings
     | 25,670 views

    David as a model in his relationship with Saul on what to do when someone mistreats you.

    I’ve titled the sermon, “when you are stabbed in the back” because it’s a fact of life that at some point in your life someone is going to stab you in the back, take advantage of you, cheat you, rob you, or do you wrong in some way. A “friend” might gossip about you, sharing your deepest darkest ...read more

    “when Should We Approach Someone Who Has Offended Us?” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jul 30, 2014
     | 4,920 views

    Though we can forgive without ever speaking to the offender about their offense, sometimes, God might lead us to do so.

    Today, we are going to move from a consideration of forgiveness to thinking together about reconciliation. We have said that without forgiveness, reconciliation is not possible. Reconciliation results with the offended person forgives and the offending person repents. Forgiveness + Repentance = ...read more

    In our failures, Jesus draws us closer to Him and is always there when we need Him.

    Is Failure Really Not An option? Matthew 26:31-35 Intro: Failure is not an option. I’m sure you have heard the phrase. That phrase is linked to NASA and their space program.

    Blessed Are The Picker Uppers Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 6, 2013
     | 4,042 views

    We must be before we do. Our Father who is "rich in mercy" expectes as much of His children and promises the same merciful treatment to them as they extend to others.

    Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. A Christian must be something before he can do something. One bankrupt in spirit, broken with grief, submissive to God’s leading, and living with an insa¬tiable hunger for righteousness is now ready and able to live out the life he has ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,564 views

    Many skeptics use Christian hypocrites as an excuse for rejecting Christ. In this sermon, we make the distinction between sinners and hypocrites. Everyone in church is a sinner, but not everyone is a hypocrite.

    Introduction: A. One day Robert Redford, the famous actor, was walking through a hotel lobby, when a woman recognized him and ran over to him. 1. With great excitement, she gushed, “Are you the real Robert Redford?” 2. As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when ...read more

    Resentment is a real part of our lives that must be recognized and dealt with in God honoring ways.

    Welcome everyone and thank guests for joining us. I want to warn all of you right up front that my message today is a little longer than usual so I pray you will settle in and let God speak to you. Do you believe God is sovereign?

Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to ...read more

    Hate is a mental condition that harms the mind, body and spirit, which if allowed to remain will also destroy our relationship with God.

    Introduction The Hatfield and McCoy feud was recently on TV; this is one of the saddest things I have ever watched. It is so wrong for people to hate people just because of their name or because of something they have done in the past. When Christians hate people they are in direct violation of ...read more

    Only as we deal with our past can we move ahead into God’s bright future.

    No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead (Philippians 3:13-14 NLT). I have a past. My journey back to God began with a pack of cigarettes and an offer to teach a Sunday School class. I was saved ...read more
