Sermons on Half Repentance:

Reliving The Relevancy Of Palm Sunday!

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Apr 4, 2021

Reliving the relevancy of the “Palm Sunday” will hopefully not only prick, but better yet, penetrate our hearts, and perhaps trigger a new season of repentance, spiritual renewal, and revival, within our lives by the transforming truths that lie latent within each picture.

We are turning today, to an event that is recorded in all four gospels. That would signal to us the importance of it. An event that marks the last week of Jesus’ earthly life, and event that you can see as I project the scripture passage on the screen the superscription placed upon it by the bible ...read more

The Processes Of Conviction

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Who Did His Father's Will?

Contributed by William Mouser on Oct 25, 2005

Right words never exceed right deeds, though it is always best when words and deeds match one another. Jesus’ parable of the two sons urges us to repent of our empty words and to fill them with obedience.

Who Did His Father’s Will? Matt 21:28-32 Jesus’ teaching has many places in it where it is difficult to understand what he means. And, then there are those places where his meaning is clear, but the application what he says is tricky – or so we like to think. We have one of those places in the ...read more

Who Dares To Question The Lord

Contributed by Gregg Bitter on Jul 12, 2003

A first-person narrative. When in our suffering we challenge the Lord like Job did, he works repentance in us so that we stand dumbfounded at his wisdom and power and stand astounded at his promise of grace.

Who Dares to Question the Lord Good Morning. I thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. My name is Job. I realize that because of the way it is spelled in English, you would usually pronounce it “job.” But it is Job. Please allow me to give you a little bit of background about myself. I ...read more

Transfiguration... The First Super Sunday

Contributed by John Nadasi on Feb 3, 2005

The Transfiguration is both about how God revealed himself through Jesus Christ as well as a story about Peter almost missing it because he would not stop blathering. This is is a call for self examination and repentance. Today is Superbowl Sunday.

Breathe Like A Believer

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003

In Psalm 51 King David gives us a picture of the "spiritual breathing" believers do every day. We exhale our sorrow and repentance over our sins. We inhale God’s mercy and forgiveness by faith.

Take a deep breath and hold it. Now exhale. What just happened? You took some air into your lungs. Your lungs removed the oxygen from the air for your body to use. You then exhaled what your body doesn’t need—carbon dioxide. What you took in sustains your life. What you breathed out is of no ...read more

Contributed by Jason Cole on Mar 10, 2007

Will God Forgive?

Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013

Psalm 51 gives us an insight to the deeply personal confession of David and a glimpse of the grace God affords sinners like us. The emphasis isn't on judgement, it is on confession, repentance and grace. Our response is worship, thansgiving and testimony.

"WILL GOD FORGIVE?" Psalm 51: 1-19 Matthew 7: 1-5 "NEVER! I'll never in a million years forgive that man! After what he's done to me, he can just forget about ever talking to me again! That's one thing I can never do. I just can't forgive what he has done." ...read more
