Going Through The Motions

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Mar 26, 2009

Are we just going through the motions of being a Christian? Maybe you are sleep walking and you need awakened out of your sleep. Wake up mighty men and women and prepare for the battles that will come your way.

Going Through The Motions Romans 8:31-37 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of ...read more

Letting Go To Receive

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Apr 3, 2009

God Will Go The Distance

Contributed by Everett Mccoy on Jul 19, 2008

Preached at Christmas, but good for any occasion. God came the distance to us. He went the distance for us. He is going the distance with us.

Going Forward With God Series

Contributed by Joel Smith on Jan 24, 2009

A rather mediocre sermon about Jacob’s facinating encounter with God at the Jabbok. The so-so title tells it all.

If you take the Bible seriously, it’s quite a frustrating book. Within its pages are outrageous commands like “be holy” (1 Peter 1:16) and “offer the parts of your body to [God] as instruments of righteousness” (Romans 6:13). Jesus laid a heavy burden on us when He said, “…be perfect, just as ...read more
