     | 3,393 views

    Taken from the Sermon Central series and heavily edited, in this final sermon in "The Path" series, Pastor John teaches on what happens when it seems we can't get to our dreams.

    Unreachable Destinations The Path CCCAG 11/7/21 Scripture- Proverbs 13:12 So far in our series on The Path, we’ve learned that: 1. Your direction determines your destination. (Pr. 7:6-27) 2. Life is a series of mid-course corrections. (Pr. 22:3) 3. We shouldn’t trust our hearts but should ...read more

    Noah: God's Preacher In The Midst Of Perverse Times

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 2, 2023
     | 1,033 views

    Noah and the ark (Genesis 6-8) like everything else in Genesis, is authentic history with an authentic warning to get right with God before it is too late. It is a call from God for us to repent and be saved from the wrath to come.

    When we read about the events of Genesis, Chapters 6-8, we forget that this is not a children's story, but an actual historical event recorded by Moses dealing with the effects of sin upon the world and the fact of God's certain judgment. Noah's task was to not only build the ark ...read more

    Salvation: Free From And Free To

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 4,043 views

    Does what I do save me? Do I have to finish what God started? If I’m saved, should I sin even more so I can experience even more of God’s grace? To all these questions, Paul answered a huge and powerful, “NO!”

    Intro Context is king when it comes to meaning. For someone to understand what someone else has said, he must first understand the setting. If someone doesn’t account for what was taking place when something was said, the conclusions he will come to will often reflect more about himself ...read more

    Which are you - one who is dedicated to the work of building up the body of Christ and spreading the gospel, or worrying about getting your way? You might be surprised as we loook at these two types in Romans 16

    For the audio of this message, go to: www.LivingWatersWeb.com and look for the study on Romans 16. In Chapter 16 we see how chapters 12-15 are worked out practically – real people doing real work – and warnings that not everyone is out for the good of the church. Paul had never been to Rome – ...read more

    Why Not Make God, Happy, Happy, Happy?

    The Bible Says, that when our steps are ordered of Him, He delights in our way, God gets, as Phil from duck dynasty says..."happy, happy, happy"....to be invited and involved, in our lives!

    Why not make God Happy, Happy, Happy? Psalm 37:23 NKJ The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. The Lord Himself delights in his ways.... That sounds like a pleasant place to be doesn't it? So who is this good man or woman, in whom the Lord delights The ...read more

    The Worse Homecoming Ever

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016

     | 12,697 views

    A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

    Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

    In this journey of faith, God’s promises stand sure and His timing perfect. Sometimes, we get side-tracked and miss out on the blessings. This sermon will teach us how to avoid pitfalls and stay on course.

    Our meditation for today is based on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (KJV) The Lord is able to keep us from falling, to deliver us from all kinds of hardships, to raise us ...read more

    Finding Your Place Series

     | 5,931 views

    How do you get a sense of well being, identity and purpose? Is it by how you feel inside and how you compare to others outside? Paul gives us some wonderful advice on how to deal with this as a member of the body of Christ.

    Last time we talked about how to respond to God’s mercy—by making ourselves available to God by putting ourselves on the altar as a living sacrifice, shunning the molding of the world on our character externally, while embracing the transformation of our character internally by the presence of the ...read more

    We get gifts from people that we don't want and we call them white elephants. In Amos 5, God tells us of white elephant gifts And what He really wants from us.

    God’s White Elephants Amos 5:21-24 Intro. We are officially into the Holiday season. Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is coming at us fast and furious isn’t it? Lists are being made and shopping has started for the ladies. Men don’t worry; we have another month before we have to ...read more

    When a running horse gets to the edge of a cliff, it’s way too late to say "Whoa." Sin is that way too. One flirting moment will cost a life time of heartache. Let’s examine the subject together!

    Introduction One of our young teenagers told me as I was getting ready to enter the pulpit one week. "Pastor, I had a dream about Heaven and you were in it!" And of course I was curious and ask her to share it with me. She said, "I dreamed I was in Heaven and I saw this huge chalk board. God said ...read more

    Dressing In Layers

    Being prepared to face the elements! This sermon gets the congregation involved by (comically) demonstrating the need to "dress in layers", clothing ourselves in true virtue, bearing one another up in love, and worshiping together as a community.

    OPENING STORY My freshman year of college, I was blessed with the opportunity to take a quarter class in Denver learning about urban development and strategies for alleviating poverty. Now, I could claim that my motivations were noble, and they somewhat were. I mean, I really did want to help ...read more

    Finding A Place Of Safety

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 18, 2018
     | 3,535 views

    Jesus didn’t promise us a life without pain and suffering. In fact, it was just the opposite. He told his followers that they shouldn’t expect to get along in this world any better than He did.

    4-27-04 Title: Finding a Place of Safety Text: “And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to ...read more

    False Teachers Are Hidden Reefs In Your Love Feasts – Jude 1:12 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,090 views

    Jude gets very descriptive of these false teachers and in verse 12 there are 7 descriptions of these perverse people who sink church fellowships; cause destruction; bring chaos into the church, and corrupt the morals, and the working and the effectiveness of the functioning church.

    FALSE TEACHERS ARE HIDDEN REEFS IN YOUR LOVE FEASTS – Jude 1:12 INTRODUCTION We have some people here who did not hear the first two messages given on Jude. Just very, very briefly, Jude’s father was Joseph the carpenter and his mother was Mary, known as the virgin Mary. We know the names of ...read more

    The Power Of Christian Community

     | 1,156 views

    It’s easy to get proud. It’s easy to want to show off. It's too common in the church. Instead, let’s choose to be very humble, serving each other gently.

    I’ve been wrestling with God lately on some things, battling depression, anxiety, even questioning God, his will and purposes. And I’m so grateful for my wife who has been there day in and day out challenging my poor thinking patterns. Reciting God’s word to me. She brings the truth up, and just ...read more
