Knowing His Love

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 23, 2010

Paul tells us that there are four dimensions to Christ’s love that we need to not only perceive but to comprehend. These can't be understood naturally but require the Holy Spirit to illuminate our eyes to be able to grasp the wonder of Christ’s love.

Knowing His Love Ephesians 3:14-21 As humans we can only visualize the world around us in three dimensions. Our nervous systems are equipped to conjure images in merely three dimensions. We can visualize height, width, and depth. It is difficult for us to imagine a fourth dimension. ...read more

Resurrection Sunday 2021 - Why The Resurrection? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 3, 2021

To an unchurched, Biblically illiterate population the resurrection of Jesus from the dead may be confusing or even rejected out of hand as a fable. It is only when we see it in its proper context that we can even start to grasp the magnitude of this great series of events.

I Am

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Aug 11, 2003

The Savior: Surrendered For Us Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 18, 2011

God usually calls us to be active, but sometimes passive. Passivity can be the more difficult of the two, because it means we accept what God brings without grasping for control. And nowhere do we see surrender to the Father's will exemplified as we do wh

Forgiveness Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

Last month I started a series of sermons which is built around this assertion - “God loves to bless His children!” We defined blessings, not so much in terms of the normal measures of worldly success - being wealth, fame, or beauty.

Mysterious Melchizedek Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 8, 2022

Traveling Through Time And Dimension Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 4, 2010

Traveling Through Time and Dimension (Psalm 48) 1. t's been a while since I have preached a sermon with a touch of weird. This is one!

Sin Is A Heart Problem! Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 3, 2014

How God tells you to live is infinitely more important than how others think you should live! This is what Pharisees couldn't grasp. The challenge for us also is: Do not get a big head about it and become arrogant and/or unteachable.

Suffocating In Worry

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 30, 2022

Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more

Being In Awe Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Dec 9, 2011

How to be poor in spirit not on the outside but only on the inside is the place where God can do His greatest work. We need to rely on the only One who can save us from Hell's grasp and the only One who can help us conquer fear and worry.

What do you think of this statement: “Sin” to see God? In our fourth lesson about “Being In Awe Of God” some of you just can’t get past the fact that you are in some sort of pit that you can’t get out of. Then you feel unworthy of asking God for anything since ...read more
