    We all make promises that seem to slip by before we can keep them. This sermon touches on this subject.

    “Promises Kept” By Reverend Thomas F. Bracewell, OSL We have all made promises that we fully intended to keep that for some reason either beyond our power or within our power we did not. Sometimes there is a feeling of embarrassment in this situation and sometimes there is just an internal ...read more

    A series of sermons on "What Would Jesus Hate?" This idea came from Tim Harlow at a convention. I preached Tim Harlow’s stuff on judging sinners and disciple dividing. This is my stuff on legalism.

    Evening Service for 8/8/2010 “What Would Jesus Hate? Legalism” HoHum: One Sunday afternoon there was a drunken man who was staggering down a country path. He came upon a baptismal service at a pond. There were many to be baptized that day and the drunk, not knowing what was going on, got in the ...read more

    Temptation how do we resist it, what part did Jesus play in making this possible, and what example has he set for us to follow?

    There’s a cartoon that reads “how come opportunity knocks only once, but temptation beats the door down every day?” Temptation, how often are we tempted in some situation to just give in. The human race does not have a great track record when it comes to temptation. This from Genesis 3:1-9. An ...read more

    Your life is a lot like a Rubber band...some stress is good b/c it tends to motivate us, but too much stress will break us altogether. Key is knowing when to allow the band to rest from the stress.

    Mt. 11:28-30 Your life is a lot like a Rubber band Some stress is good b/c it tends to motivate us, but too much stress will break us altogether.

    The Fight Within The Wall Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 21, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,290 views

    The greatest problem in ministry is often the fight within. Beware of the seeds of discontent, distrust and rivalry that the evil One can sow within the Body of Christ. Don't let selfishness gets the better of us.

    What we learn last week: There will be oppositions in ministry. • We cannot stop what people will say but we can choose not to allow their words or deeds to discourage us from doing what is good and right, what is the will of God. • We choose not to be distracted; we FOCUS on what God ...read more

    A sermon for Father's Day on the Lord's Discipline from Hebrews 12:4-11

    HoHum: When we look for Father’s Day cards we see two general types. There is the classic card variety with some general thanks to dad and an inspiration poem. Then, there are the humorous types that usually poke fun at a father’s lack of abilities or some humorous quality. The one ...read more

    An Old Testament lesson of what Jesus teaches in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:1-12.

    They stared into the flames. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego watched as the soldiers who had brought them to this place fell over dead due to the overwhelming heat. Can you imagine what must have gone through these three men’s minds as they heard the crackling of the fire, felt the intense heat, ...read more

    Challenged In The Temple Series

     | 7,215 views

    As Jesus entered the Temple for the second time during Passion Week, He immediately met opposition. The chief priests, scribes, and elders had conspired against Him. As we strive to serve the Lord, the enemy will bring opposition against us too.

    Challenged at the Temple Mark 11: 27-33 Our text today continues to follow Jesus through what is commonly referred to as Passion Week. He had triumphantly entered Jerusalem and returned the next day to cleanse the temple. Again, for the third day in a row, Jesus had returned to Jerusalem and ...read more

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 16, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,648 views

    Worry is the uneasy feeling we often experience in times of fear, trouble, or problems. But, not all worry is bad. There is a positive, wise kind of worry and a negative, wrong, and destructive worry. This sermon helps us understand both of them and the impacts of negative worry.

    Today we will continue our sermon series on "The Bible and Emotional Problems." The topic that we will learn is worry. "I have a mountain of credit card debt," one man told another. "I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am ...read more

    Lord Build Me In Patience Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021
     | 2,973 views

    Be patient. That’s easier said than done isn’t it? Our first instinct is to complain along the way, isn’t it? That’s what happened when Moses led the Israelites into the wilderness.

    7 “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, ...read more

    There was great initial acclaim for King Saul. His kingship was dramatically renewed at Gilgal. Now we come abruptly to the end of King Saul’s glory days. As a result of Saul failing the test the dynasty will pass from his family.

    If you have ever been in a situation where you must totally wait on and trust God, then you know how hard that can be. King Saul found himself in one of those situations where he must trust God. This will be a test of his character as king of Israel. He is Israel’s first king ending the period of ...read more
