On The Rock Is The Fear Of The Lord

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 17, 2010

Jesus uses lots of language that should inspire us to the fear of the Lord. Here we can build families that will last.

(Recite Matthew 7) Those last words of Jesus in his Sermon on the Mount give us a clear message, do they not? What you and I do with the words of Jesus determines whether our lives will stand or fall. Today, I would like to take these final words of Jesus and apply them not just to us ...read more

Heaven’s High Standard

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010

Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more

Rewarded In Full

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010

Jesus tells us how to live heavenly kingdom lives with instructions that keep us on track.

In fact, Matthew ends with the great commission where Jesus tells the apostles to ...read more

Why Aren't More Of Us Dying?

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Mar 10, 2012

The Church needs to learn to die to self more collectively but it begins on an individual basis first. Like Jesus said, "Not My Will But Your Will Be Done!

Why Aren’t More Of Us Dying? When you read the Title in the Bulletin this morning, did it make you think “what is the preacher going to preach about today”? I hope that he doesn’t want us to die! I want to tell you today that yes; I really do want all of you to die today. ...read more

Part 17 - Matthew 10:34-42 - Give Me More Than A Blow-Up Sword! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 25, 2010

The nimble adroitness needed for sword fighting seemed severely limited by the floppy handles and fat blades filled with air, but at least they were safe. High adventure with ABSOLUTELY NO DANGER.

Part 17 - Matthew 10:34-42 - GIVE ME MORE THAN A BLOW-UP SWORD! My youngest grandson had a birthday party not too long back. It was a pirate party so all his mates came dressed in pirate gear - eye-patches, head scarves, etc. At the door we presented every pirate with a plastic blow-up sword, ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 13, 2025

Matthew, Chapter 13, presents a series of stories, or parables, Jesus used to illustrate the concepts of the kingdom of God, the approaching judgment, and the work of the devil. Listen, if you have ears to hear.

The thirteenth chapter of Matthew's gospel focuses upon the parables of Jesus. As the Master got into a boat while teaching the people on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, He told a story about a man whose job it was to sow seed into ground that had been tilled in order to grow crops. In the ...read more

There's Always Room At The Table Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Mar 19, 2024

God looks exactly like Jesus. Any other image of God is false. We recognize Jesus in the act of serving and there's always room at the table with God.

Ever wondered what God is like? It's a big question, right? But it's important because we tend to act like the God we believe in. The simple answer is, God is just like Jesus. Any other picture of God is off the mark. The Bible shows us how people's understanding of God changed over time, and it ...read more

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 27, 2015

We already have the teachings of truth; they’re placed in our hearts from God. Our battle is with religion that seeks to control through doubt/fear/lies; this is what we must teach against through love and the truth of God.

How To Be Invisible Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 13, 2009

There is a way to do wonderful things for God and fade into the background. Our human nature wants to get the credit and be the focus. Our godly nature tells us otherwise. Learn how to be an active part of God’s plan by disappearing.

Where have we been so far? Chapter 5: rely and focus on the Lord, not on ourselves. Make, keep, and fix broken relationships as God fixed the broken relationship with us. Now in Chapter 6 we move to being an active part in focusing others on God—the source of life. What’s the use of having ...read more

Boo!

Contributed by Michael Brown on May 28, 2018

Teaches what God's Word means in "fear God" & "fear of the Lord" passages. Many people think these scriptures mean we are to be afraid of God. Boo! teaches what these verses are really leading us to do.

Fear is an emotion that is learned early in life. It’s a healthy emotion that could save our lives in time of danger. We fear things like fire, snakes, & strangers who mean us harm. The range of things we fear is very wide. In a healthy family one person we should never fear is our parent. They ...read more
