Sermons on Hold Forth:

The Name Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Nov 30, 2002

The Name above all names should be in our hearts and on our lips. Hebrews 1:1-2:4 clearly proclaims the powerful message of who Jesus is and how we must heed and hold on to Him.

The Name Hebrews 1:1-2:4 I heard about a man who as he traveled he began to visit churches. He was traveling in the North East and out West and in the foyer of every church he visited he noticed a golden phone with a sign above it that said, “Talk with God, $10,000.” Finally, he came to ...read more

Discerning Deception Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Nov 8, 2015

Lies are being perpetuated all around us, in the news, in our government, in our society and even in the church. Holding on to the truth is important, but somehow, deceptions can still penetrate that must be corrected and transformed to our advantage.

Do you know the most famous deception of all time? According to the survey, the Trojan Horse was the greatest deception of all time. Let me explain. The Trojan Horse is actually a tale from the Trojan War about the deception that the Greeks employed to enter the City of Troy and win the war. It ...read more

Let God Have His Way

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 22, 2018

Humble Yourself Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013

If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected. Humble Yourselves Peter (and the rest of the New Testament) has ...read more

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 2, 2013

Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more
