    Transitional Theology

    based on 58 ratings
     | 13,487 views

    Now it is my firm belief that in the midst of Transition and Uncertainty, the Prophetic Pastor must have a Logos about Theos regarding the Ethos of the Times. He must have a Word about God regarding the Mood of the Times!

    I need not pause to suggest how delighted I am to be in your midst. My prayer is that God will grant you the desires of your hearts and mature you in Christlikeness. I want to use this Preaching Moment to highlite this headline: Transitional Theology. The Text I have tagged and targeted for ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jul 22, 2004
    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,556 views

    Jesus gives us a challenge He gave about the Pharisees. He wants us to show mercy and love to those who need salvation, not just go through the motions of our own religious beliefs

    How to Separate Ourselves From the Sins of the Pharisees Jesus said to them, "Be careful and on your guard against the leaven (teaching, corruption, hypocrisy) of the Pharisees and Saducees." (Matthew 16:6) Jesus said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the eyes of men. But God ...read more

    Biblical Authority

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,983 views

    This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

    Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more

    Believing Heart

     | 4,729 views

    Unbelief is no small issue, you can be a Christian and still land up in hell because you failed to have belief in your Savior Jesus Christ and live your life in accordance to the standards given by the Lord.

    Trust that transcends human reasoning…. To feel that He is real and here! Mark 8:17"……Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?” There are the rare few who would look for a good spiritual feed (good ...read more

    That Pesky Catholic "Et" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 5, 2017
     | 2,772 views

    Christ taught us the basic belief of Christianity, that God is One and God is three. The God we believe in, the God who loves us so much, is Trinity–Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Ghost)

    Trinity Sunday 2017 That Pesky Catholic “Et” A wise theologian once taught me that the distinctive character of Catholic teaching is what he called the “pesky Catholic ‘et’.” That’s the word “and” in English, “y” en Español, “und” auf deutsch. Catholic teaching uses a lot of phrases containing the ...read more

    Christian Paradoxes

    Webster's defines a paradox as: "A statement contrary to common belief. A statement that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd, but that may actually be true." There are paradoxes when it comes to Christianity. Let's take a look at some of them.

    CHRISTIAN PARADOXES Webster's defines a paradox as: "A statement contrary to common belief. A statement that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd, but that may actually be true."

    The Universal Gift Series

    Contributed by John Sears on Dec 3, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,910 views

    In a culture where tolerance is the highest virtue and where sincere belief is the only thing important to faith, are Christians too exclusive in believing that Jesus is the only way to eternal life? What does that salvation look like?

    Introduction I have a confession I need to make. I have owned my cell phone for a little more than a year now. In that time, I have lost my charging cord five times. Now don’t blame me. I think it’s possible that charging a phone soon causes the cord to fade into the netherworld ...read more

    Helping Children To Know God

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 10, 2015
     | 6,102 views

    Children need to know God's Truth; they can't simply take on their parent's beliefs, but need to understand and receive the truth of God on their own. Parents have a responsibility to guide children in the way they're to go.

    Being a parent is an enormous responsibility. I can’t think of anything in life that’s more challenging. I’ve been to war, and I’ve had kids; war was easier. Proverbs 22:6 tells parents to “Train up children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they ...read more

    Three Nails

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,437 views

    According to Scripture (John 20:25) and Roman practices of the time, Christ was held to the Cross by three nails but I want to call this belief into question. Nor were the Jews, Romans, or Judas responsible for His death.

    THREE NAILS Lk. 23:32-34; Mt. 27:45-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. If you ever ask a preacher about his last sermon, he will give you the whole thing again! They usually think they did a good job.

    Satan The Devil Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 18, 2022
     | 3,914 views

    Although Satan is generally viewed as evil, some groups have very different beliefs. In Theistic Satanism, Satan is considered to be worshiped or revered Deity. In LaVeyan Satanism, Satan is a symbol of virtuous characteristics and liberty

    Satan the Devil (Illustrations did not copy) ISAIAH 14:12 "How you have fallen from Heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the Earth, who once laid the nations low!" Satan was originally a righteous angel named Lucifer, meaning "light bringer." In the ...read more

    Belief and doubt often coexist in the same faithful heart. This sermon shows how God speaks through Scripture, meets us in our questions, and calls us to walk by faith with open Bibles and tender hearts.

    Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green.

    The Transformative Power, Authority, And Responsibilities Of The Holy Spirit. Series

    Contributed by Sandeep Samson on Mar 21, 2025
     | 483 views

    The Holy Spirit, in Christian theology, is considered the third person of the Holy Trinity, alongside God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ). The transformative power, authority, and responsibilities of the Holy Spirit are central to Christian belief and practice.

    1. Transformative Power of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit's transformative power is evident throughout Scripture, both in individual lives and in the broader community of believers.
