Sermons on George Bernard Shaw:

Character Counts

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 28, 2013

Character counts and it impacts. God is concerned with our character, more than our comfort and competence.

RECAP last week's sermon – Matt 7:15-23 – the false prophets were IN the circle but OUT of salvation. • Right believing leads to RIGHT LIVING. It starts on the INSIDE. It is a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ. • Draw close to Him every day and you’ll see your life ...read more

Walking In The Light

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 20, 2012

Walking in the light is conditioned on following Christ. John 8:12 “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” The Epistle of 1 John lays out several conditions for walking in the light.

Walking in the Light 1 John 1:5-10 Before a person comes to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ the Bible says that that person is in total spiritual darkness. When one comes to Jesus that person no longer needs to be in darkness but in following Christ they have the light of life. As such they are ...read more

Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

The Value Of Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

By rough estimate I counted 750 references to death and dying in my concordance of the Bible. If we are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, then no Christian can be honest with God's word and ignore the subject of death.

There are two subjects that men have tended to be shy about all through history. These two subjects have been considered off limits as topics of public conversation. It was taboo to speak of them openly. The two subjects are, sex and death. The paradox of this is, there are no two more ...read more
