Sermons on Gods Sacrifice:

Meaningless Offerings

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 13, 2024

Offerings and sacrifices given to God should cost you something, you cannot do all your personal expenses and give the dregs to God, anybody listening???

OFFERINGS & SACRIFICES Isaiah 1:13 “Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me.” I have watched pagans break 100 coconuts at a stretch or if they are unable to do it themselves, they hire people to do this for them. Everything is done mechanically without heart ...read more

Selling Out To God Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021

Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

A Soldiers Faith 2017

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

Only when we are willing to risk surrendering everything in life do we come close to experiencing the miracle that is God’s love in Jesus Christ. We must be willing to abandon all other authority in our lives if we are to see God move in a miraculous way.

A Soldiers Faith 2017 Today we mark Remembrance Day as a church family. It is a day that holds a unique significance for each of us. For some it marks the Remembrance of a loved one who fell in service for their country or those who had been taken prisoner never to return. For others it is a ...read more

Justification By Faith Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Mar 12, 2022

Justification by Faith is the base of Christianity. Man could not reach God with his morality, offerings and efforts. So Justification is done through faith. Whoever believes in God is justified.

Romans 3:21-31, Justification by Faith Introduction: Justification by Faith is the base of Christianity. Man could not reach God with his morality, offerings and efforts.

From This Day On, I Will Bless (Haggai 2:10-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

When we move from being unclean, to clean, God views and treats us completely different. It's then that God's blessings flow.

Haggai's oracle in today's passage, chapter 2:10-19, comes roughly two months after his last one-- and three months after the people have begun rebuilding God's house. Here, again, Yahweh speaks through his prophet to encourage the people. So this is another message, I'm hoping, ...read more

(God Will Provide )

Contributed by Derrick White Sr on Mar 21, 2025

One statement that we should be making more and more as we mature and matriculate in the faith Is that we need to stop telling God how big our problems are. And start telling our problems how big our God is.

Our scriptural real estate found in the first book of the Bible, the book of Genesis Genesis, chapter twenty commencing at the seventh verse and ending at the the14th Genesis 22:7-14 (KJV) 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son.

Obeying God Is Not About The Rules

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Mar 10, 2014

This isn't about keeping a bunch of rules. We obey Jesus because we love our Heavenly Father, and we know it's not easy. We need each other, because we don't always succeed, sometimes we fail, we give in to our selfish nature, we don't always make the sacrifice.

When we talk about obeying God we're not talking about rule keeping. When you play a game, there are rules to the game. We don't play a lot of games in our family because we argue a lot about the rules. Does anyone else do this? I can't tell you how many times we've played a game that we ...read more

Father And Son

Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 21, 2020

God shared the pathos of His sacrifice of Jesus through having Abraham sacrifice Isaac. Two storytellers are needed: [#1] will tell the story of Abraham and Isaac, and [#2] will tell the story of God the Father and Jesus.

Introduction [#1] Genesis 22:1-2 This is a story of a Father, Son, and sacrifice. Usually we understand this chapter in terms of testing, faith, obedience, commitment, surrender, substitutionary sacrifice, The Lord Will Provide. It’s all in there. [#2] It also foreshadows another Father, ...read more

Living In Thanksgiving

Contributed by Richard White on Nov 14, 2009

Christians Count The Cost Of The Cross

Contributed by Timm Meyer on Nov 13, 2009

Pentecost 16 (C) - Christians count the cost of the cross. This price takes sacrifice. Christ makes the sacrifice.

Big Cross Or Little Crosses, But No Other Path To Joy

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 22, 2024

Abraham did not have to show his faith by slaying his only Son, Isaac. God the Father, however, did not hold onto His only Son, Christ Jesus, but accepted His sacrifice.

Second Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Mark’s Gospel tells us today that “after six days” Jesus and His three lead apostles went up a high mountain. Why is “six days” important to remember? We need to go back to the previous chapter to see. The story line follows St. Matthew’s Gospel very closely, which ...read more
