Meaningless Offerings

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 12, 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???

Would I Be Persecuted For Christ?

Contributed by Don Kesner on Apr 9, 2015

Jesus talked of being persecuted for "righteousness sake." If that be the case, am I living righteous enough to qualify?

The Truth About Tithing Series

Contributed by Leroy Redding on Jul 10, 2007

Malachi #7

The Truth About Tithing I was thinking last week as we took the offering, that we had this all planned wrong. We should have had the offering right after the message! What do you think? No, not a good idea. Like I said last week, in some ways I’m hesitant to even preach on this subject lest ...read more

Because God's Contracts Don't Expire Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Nov 23, 2009

Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.

This sermon needs a disclaimer and it doesn’t need to be one of those bits of legalese that we see in 6 point type in a print ad, appears briefly in barely legible type at the bottom of a television screen, or is read as rapidly as possible by a radio announcer: “Offer listed is manufacturer’s ...read more

The Feast Of Tabernacles Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 23, 2017

Jesus is the Messiah, the promised one who would rule over an everlasting kingdom as God’s anointed king. We are called on to make a response to Jesus. Do we acclaim him as our king or reject him because he doesn’t meet our expectations?

You probably won’t be surprised to discover that there’s a link between this chapter and the previous one. Last week we saw how some people find it hard to believe in Jesus, because faith is a spiritual activity and they’re basically materialists, or because they don’t ...read more

Jesus Lord Of The Impossible

How easy is it for a cripple to get up on his own? How easy is it to love our enemies? How easy is to forgive someone who hurt us deeply? Jesus commands us to do all this.

This morning we visit a place called Bethesda. An invalid, crippled, lying on the ground waiting for the miraculous. Jesus says "Do you want to get well?" Some people do not want to get better, they like the attention they get, or possibly the thought of doing anything different scares them. ...read more
