Rest

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 17, 2020

If Jesus loves me and if God has forgiven me, then why isn't this Christianity thing working out for me... where is the abundant life that Jesus promised? This message is about acknowledging this truth and finding our way into His REST.

Rest Matthew closes out the 11th chapter of his Gospel with these very familiar words. True words. God breathed words. Words that maybe God brought you into this room today the second Sunday of the year 2020… to speak directly to your heart, soul, mind and strength. Words that you may have heard ...read more

It's For Your Own Good

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 2, 2021

Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. Today I have another that would be just as bothersome: this is for your own good. God will do things we won't like but will be for our own good.

IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD Last Sunday I used a phrase that you may have heard growing up: do as I say, not as I do. That's a phrase we wouldn't have wanted to hear. Today I have another one that would be equally as bothersome: this is for your own good. We didn't like to hear that ...read more

Contributed by Dr John Singarayar Svd on Jul 1, 2020

Now a days, we grow up in the post-truth world listening to the manufactured lies, reading the systematic propaganda of fake news, and proclaiming the same with the help of high profile people in society to achieve their own purpose.

Cross-Examination (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 6, 2020

Last week we looked at our need to examine the cross and our decision to follow Jesus. Today we look at the fact that God examines us and he enables us to examine ourselves. It's time to do a cross-examination.

Breakthrough And The Great Divide Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jul 7, 2020

Do Not Get Naked

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jul 10, 2021

Keep your clothes on before men, but bare your soul before God.

I was reminded of a couple of instances where two hyper-Charismatics told women they needed to get naked before the Lord. One was an older man and while the lady knew it was wrong she complied out of respect for the "prophet." The other one told two ladies they had to get naked before ...read more

Lesson #14 [ic3c]: Warning Against Not Entering God’s Rest Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 15, 2020

What determines whether someone who hears the gospel actually enters God’s rest? We do not have to ponder this question because He gives us the answer in John 3:16.

Psalm 139 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 12, 2020

God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms.
