Roll Away The Stone

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 7, 2017

Do you find yourself living like a half dead Christian. Is your faith something that is buried instead of alive in you? You may need Jesus to Roll away the stone keeping you from a Resurrection kind of faith.

Roll Away the Stone John Chapter 11 Jesus crosses the line and goes back to Judea where his friend Lazarus has died. Sometimes God will call us and ask us to cross the line. To go from a place of relative safety to a place of danger. The last time Jesus was in Judea they tried to kill Him by ...read more

A Jealous God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015

God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more

There’s Just Something About Christmas Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2022

Christmas is by far the most popular of these seven American holidays. Yet, not everybody can tell you why we celebrate every other holiday. Only around half of all Americans could retell the Christmas story from memory.

It’s now just two weeks and just fourteen days until Christmas! Christmas is so exciting for so many reasons: family gathering together, time off from work and obligations, and the strong sense of nostalgia we all feel this time of year. Nat King Cole captured the sentiment of the season for many ...read more

Strike Until The Battle Is Won Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 17, 2025

This account reveals that partial obedience, half-hearted efforts, and spiritual laziness can limit the fullness of God’s intended victories. Many believers fail to receive all God has for them because they stop striking too soon.

What Else Do You Need To Shed? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 27, 2019

Holding on to our comfort zone can have serious consequences; especially if it's hindering our works within the body of Christ. Either we're in or we're not. There are no half-officers in the army of God.

Many different types of people walk through the gates into boot camp. Rich and poor; fat and skinny; bully and timid; smart and stupid; agile and clumsy; capable and ignorant. The first task that the military has to accomplish is to make them all "equal." That's called ...read more

Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022

James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

Full disclosure: this is edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO in August 2022 Introduction: Many of us think following Jesus is going to be a walk in the park, so to speak, but that isn’t always true. Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more

What (And Who) Is The Sabbath For?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Aug 25, 2010

My Story Is Not Over

“doing Things You’ve Never Done To Get Things You’ve Never Gotten.”

Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2016

We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!

DOING THINGS WE’VE NEVER DONE TO GET THINGS WE’VE NEVER GOTTEN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE LOVED DRIVING TRAINS 1. In the early days of Texas, there was a man who drove trains for a living. He loved his job, but he was too reckless and caused a crash. He lived, but a one person died. He ...read more
