Sermons on Fullness Of Joy:

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

The Census And The Plague

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 16, 2021

In 2020 the U.S. conducted a Census - the same year of the pandemic. In wondering if there is a correlation between the census and the plague, I began searching the Scriptures, and I think you’ll be surprised as to what I found out.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “The Census and the Plague.” This is the year of the United States 2020 Census. This is also the year of a global pandemic known as the Corona Virus and Covid 19; and I’ve been contemplating for quite some time the irony of how we actually had a pandemic ...read more

Malachi (My Messenger) Nasb

Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Apr 24, 2021

Last book before a 400 year silence (when Jesus was born); Jerusalem during prosperity

Malachi proclaims the sinful condition of the Jews, warns of God’s judgment, and promises relief in the coming of the Savior. The nation had just come through 200 years of economic, spiritual and governmental prosperity. After 12 years Nehemiah straightened out the nation politically (in 433 B.C.) ...read more

Transverse Orientation Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Apr 25, 2021

We have artificial sweeteners, ingredients, body parts, grass, flowers, light, etc... if there is something natural than most likely you will find some form of an artificial facsimile of it. If man can somehow make a mold of it and reproduce it, you will find it sitting on a shelf somewhere.

Exodus 7:(8) And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, (9) When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent. (10) And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and ...read more

The Pain Of Idolatry

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

Some people spend their lives propping up dumb idols that consume their time and resources. This message tackles the golden hemorrhoids account and shows how idolatry can be a real pain. We must give it to God to receive healing.

This morning we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that I have struggled with for many years; one that I have read time and again, and I couldn’t figure out how to apply it spiritually. It’s probably one that many of you have read before and came away feeling perplexed. But lately the Lord ...read more

Redeeming The Time Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

The Unseen Battle Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

In Daniel chapter 9 (which I said would be our last message in this series) we see where Daniel took it on himself to intercede on behalf of all the people of Israel who were in captivity in Babylon; and Daniel was just one individual, yet the Lord heard his supplication. Daniel’s prayer reminds ...read more

Principles Of Fellowship With God Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on May 14, 2021

First John 1:5-2:2 shows us what is involved in having fellowship with God.

Scripture I recently started a sermon series on the Letters of John. False teaching was infiltrating the churches in the region of Ephesus for which the Apostle John was responsible. The false teachers were teaching that they had a knowledge of God that was available only to the spiritual elite. ...read more

Pentecost: The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Look inside today’s story for two items the Spirit does in your life: 1) The Spirit makes you bold ; and 2) He makes your conscience tender to His touch. My hope this morning is simple: I want you and I to hunger for life-changing power the Holy Spirit brings.

This morning I want look at what the Spirit does to transform us. Today, we are looking at a famous account inside the New Testament, called Pentecost. Let me set up our story for those of you who may have missed earlier messages. The miracle of “speaking in tongues” had worked liked shooting a ...read more

Streams From Lebanon (Song Of Solomon 4:15)

Contributed by James Dina on May 21, 2021

We are a "stream from Lebanon", to be dashed down many water falls and dashed forward with the irresistible force of God, sweeping everything away till we find perfect rest.

"A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and STREAMS FROM LEBANON" (Songs of Solomon 4:15) Ancient biblical Lebanon was one of the sweetest places in all the land of Canaan (Isaiah 29:17), which had a white, snow-capped mountain range (Jeremiah 18:14) whose upward movement ...read more

Dealing With Ocd Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2021

OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

PENTECOST 2021 Act 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, Act 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said ...read more

The Parent Trap Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Who of us has cornered the market for craziness in our family? It seems that broken families and dysfunctional families are everywhere. There’s hope for even crazy families because of Jesus Christ. Great things can come from broken families.
