Who You Are In God’s Eyes

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 7, 2020

God, through the Apostle Peter, gives us several images of what it means to be a Christian rightly connected to Christ and to each other. Holding onto these images can help us weather the storms of life.

1 Peter 2:2-10 Who You Are in God’s Eyes Happy Mother’s Day, church! If you are able to join us for our 11:00 Zoom call today (that is, Sunday), mothers, we’d like you to show us a picture of you and your kids, maybe when they were young, if you have one handy.

Christmas According To Luke Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Dec 20, 2014

In a logical and well-researched manuscript, Luke helps the skeptical and scientific know that the account of Jesus is fully trustworthy. We can learn from the shepherds as we develop awe, accept the message, and act on it.

Christmas According to Luke Luke 2:8-20 Rev. Brian Bill December 20-21, 2014 Bridge from “Still He Came” We wander and we’re accustomed to darkness, blinded by our own sins as we turn our backs on you. And yet, Jesus you still came…for us. And so here’s a ...read more

Male And Female - Mark 10:1-12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 8, 2024

When asked about divorce, Jesus’ first response was to point out maleness and femaleness. This message will help you see how the characteristics of the sexes combine to create a whole greater than the sum of the parts.

Mark 10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them. 2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 3 "What did Moses ...read more

Unity Starts In The Heart Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 15, 2024

God desires unity in the body of Christ, but unity is not easy or automatic. God creates the unity, but it is something that we must strive to keep. Humility, gentleness, patience and forbearance help us to do just that.

A. I’m excited to begin a new sermon series this morning – a series that I am calling “7 Ones Equal Unity” and will be based on Ephesians 4:4-6. 1. Over the years, I have preached many sermons using verses from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, including a sermon series on the entire letter back in ...read more

Sermon # 2 - The Family Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 21, 2024

Jesus’ reply as recorded in Matthew 12:48, But he replied to the man who told him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" (ESV) We are meditating this year on some of the important questions that Jesus asked. If you are wondering as to why Jesus asked so many questions, they were ...read more

Be Present Among The Lost Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

"influence And Impact" Series

Contributed by John Huyser on Jul 18, 2023

Christ's letter to Thyatira forces us to ask questions we normally don't consider. (Please let me know if this sermon indeed was helpful). Video: fruitportcrc.org

INTRODUCTION If Christ’s Pergamum letter was the hardest to understand, Christ’s letter to Thyatira is the hardest to relate to. Not only is their setting so foreign to our understanding, but the letter also forces us to ask questions we normally don’t consider. Slide 1 What outside ...read more

Delivered And Destroyed Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 4, 2023

The life in Christ is a gift from the Lord. We need to safeguard with the help of the Holy Spirit. The rebellion, disobedient and unbelief would result in destruction. The merciful God would also punish for the wickedness of His people.

Our Final Flight Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 17, 2022

Funeral Sermon: This message was written for the death of a pilot. It shows how aviation is a metaphor for life, with its highs and lows. It was written primarily for the survivors, to help them lean on God during the difficult days ahead.

We are gathered here today to remember and celebrate the life of George Royalty; and I want to hone in on a brief chapter of his life – one of the most memorable – which was his pursuit of aviation; a pursuit he undertook with his son. I got to meet George and talk with him a couple of times, such ...read more

The Lord Loves Cheerful Workers.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 3, 2022

We all need to leave the next at some times, and live. Jesus needed his 70 disciples to leave, and preach the gospel. He also gave them instructions to help them do so.

Introduction I am sure you are aware of the parallel between the four gospels and the four living creatures in the vision of Ezekiel. You know: the Lion, symbolizing his supremacy and kingship; the Man, symbolizing the highest of intelligence; the Ox, for his lowly service, (a symbol which we like ...read more

Because of her "ugliness" (weak eyes) Leah was unnoticed, unwanted & unloved… and unmarried. She was literally a rejected woman. How did God help her overcome her rejection?

A lady was walking down the street on her way to work & saw a parrot in a pet store. She went in to admire the bird, and suddenly the parrot spoke to her, “Hey lady. You’re ugly.” Well, the woman was deeply offended, and she stormed out of the store. But on her way home, she thought she’d ...read more

Be Anxious For Nothing

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022
