Leave The Old Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Nov 27, 2018

Just as fall turns to winter we can Leave the Old behind. But in order to do this we must: 1) Forsake our Former life (Galatians 4:8), 2) Understand our Present Life (Galatians 4:9) and 3) Live for our Future Life (Galatians 4:10-11)

As we come to the final season of the year, it tends to be a time of extremes. We are called to more events, to buy more and decorate more than the rest of the year combined. People will also go to personal extremes. Those who have been able to control spending, drinking and personal habits, ...read more

We Are More Than Conquers……!

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Jan 14, 2019

As the children of Israel were about to enter the promise land, the Lord appeared unto Joshua and said; “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous….” (Joshua 1:5-7).

In Romans 8:37, Paul coined a new terminology, saying “More than Conquers”, if you studied the 35th verse of Romans 8, you will understand why he expressed his communication with that terminology. It says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or ...read more

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 19, 2022

We are saved by faith, believing God’s promises. Now let’s live by them. You need to recognize your future is as bright as the promises of God. You held on to the key of promise. Jesus said, I will never leave you or forsake you. God kept his promise concerning Israel possessing the land.

An elderly believer was facing death. While he lay dying he told his pastor, “For years I have relied on the promises of God, but now in my hour of death I can’t remember a single one to comfort me.” His pastor replied, “Do you think God will forget?” He smiled, “No, no he won’t forget.

Psalm 22 - Jesus On The Cross Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 29, 2019

"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Jesus' terrible cry on the cross is answered in Psalm 22.

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

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 47 – Restoration Of The Displaced People – Had God Forgotten Them Forever? Lamentations 5:20-22 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 16, 2025

Jeremiah takes up the plight of these people he was among. He asks if God had forgotten them. Then we look at the prayer for restoration and what it means. That is followed by a look at David’s restoration from Psalm 51.

I believe these last three verses to be Jeremiah speaking to God in regard to the people. The prophet was wondering ...read more

2020 will be remembered as one of the most challenging years for many people. But God has been faithful to us. He never leaves us nor forsakes us (Hebrews 13:5). Therefore, like Moses, we can also say, "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations." (Psalm 90:1).

Today, If You Hear His Voice . . . Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 1, 2021

The possibility of falling away from Christ is greater than most of us think--no one is entirely immune from this awful outcome. It all begins with how we come to respond to God's voice, when we know He has spoken to us, and even in small things, choose to ignore Him.

One of the great challenges of the pastoral profession is discerning who to help among those who are in evident financial need, and when to help them, and then how much to help them. Despite our best and most sincere efforts, pastors young and old, sometimes fail. I remember well the story of a ...read more

Casting Your Cares On Him Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 30, 2018

Life can be troubling and even scary sometimes. There will be times that we just don't believe anybody is going to be there for us... or that anybody cares. But the Bible says there IS someone who is there and cares. Do you know why that matters?

Is Church Attendance Necessary

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Jun 25, 2001

If you have forsaken the assembly of Christians, we encourage you to take these steps.

Is Church Attendance Necessary? Considering the lax attitudes of many religious people today, it would be easy to conclude that church attendance is optional or perhaps only for those who are very religious and extremely dedicated to their faith. Membership rosters in most churches, compared to ...read more
