Sermons on Head Covering:

Get Up And Encourage Someone!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 25, 2017

I have weighed recently the compassion fatigue that we all face. A pastor quietly lay the pistol to his head, his load had been so heavy, did anyone care? Maybe we miss it sometimes?

The Floating Axhead

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 19, 2016

The Word Of God Continues Series

Contributed by Guy Glass on Jan 29, 2013

Slaves In Egypt Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Aug 16, 2013

Well whose to judge, to slander those lost in sin, those who don't know the Father. How do we treat the alien and the widow? Slapping them up the side of the head will not win souls for the kingdom of God.

The paradox that we are looking at this week of our OWSOMS Self Denial appeal that we are looking at is this ‘The Paradox of Belonging’. In the passage from Deuteronomy 24:17 through to verse 22 we get this command “Do not deprive the alien or the Fatherless of justice, or take ...read more

Advent 2015 - Week 3 - Mary

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 15, 2015

The events of Jesus' conception, birth, presentation at the temple, the shepherds and the Wisemen are all swirling around in Mary's head. What could they mean? Some seem contradictory. What does it mean that she treasured and pondered them in her heart?

Read Luke 2:8-20 and Luke 2:41-52 (from an actual Bible!) What do these two accounts have in common? Luke 2:19, 51b (LEB) “But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering them in her heart.” “And [Jesus’] mother treasured all these things in her heart.” To ...read more

The Deep Things Of God

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 13, 2021

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2025

With Israel’s defeat, all means were used against them in the name of hate. Ambushes and murder from Edom was despicable. God had not overlooked it. The end of Chapter 4 has Edom in God’s sights so the evil done to Israel will come hard on their own heads.

Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Jun 25, 2009

I believe that most Christians are in the middle of where they can be in God. They don’t want to go too far for fear of what God might expect out of them. I believe that we need to break out from the middle and start heading to the lead of the pack.
