    What are some specific circumstances that signal oppression by a government? And, as believers, what should be our first course of action, and when should we speak the truth?

    In our last message in this series, I asked the following questions: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” “How could we practice our Christian faith and live according to biblical principles ...read more

    Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024
     | 1,133 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

    I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

    The Word of God transforms us. The three mindsets as we approach the Word: (1) apprehend its Author; (2) accept its authority; (3) apply its principles.w

    Matt 4:4 - Jesus: "It is written: ’Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" People need more than bread for their life; we must feed on every Word of God. The truth transforms us. Imagine the Power of God’s Word - in Genesis, things come into being ...read more

    The Book Of Jude Part 5 Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 6, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,755 views

    Headstrong and brazen, the apostates speak disrespectfully in areas of which they are ignorant. They do not realize that in any ordered society, there must be authority and there must be subjection to authority. And so they surge forward and swagger . . .

    Part 5 (3/6/18) A Lesson for Today’s believers The apostasy of these ungodly people was abundantly evident, but Jude urges caution in pronouncing judgment on such ungodliness. Michael, the great archangel, was entrusted with great authority by the Lord Jehovah. According to Jewish tradition found ...read more

     | 138 views

    Our God is not limited to churches, continents, or constitutions. He is the God of the nations, who reigns from eternity past to eternity future. He is watching the nations, weighing them in His balance, and inviting them to bow to His rule.

     | 6,189 views

    The desire to take revenge is not necessarily sinful, but we must not take our own revenge. Government may do so, but if it fails, ultimately God will take revenge.

    Forgiveness is Conditional, Part 3: When The Offender Won’t Repent Thus far in our series, we have tried to answer the following questions: (1) Do I have to forgive someone who has not repented? The answer I gave was, "no." God does not forgive those who will not repent, and He is our ...read more

    Mark 1:21-39 presents twenty-four hours of Jesus’ life and ministry, when He establishes His authority in teaching, and His authority over demons and illness. This sermon deals with Mark's emphasis of Jesus' authority and the need for prayer and communion with God in solitude.

    Psalm 2 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 25, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,158 views

    The first two psalms are often considered to be designed as a pair serving as an introduction to the 150-psalm collection. The first psalm describes the difference between the blessed man and the evil man, and Psalm 2 is about triumph over the forces that oppose the faith.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Who Cares? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 22, 2021
     | 2,428 views

    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

    It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

    Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more
