I was led by the Holy Spirit to present this sermon in a very dramatic fashion so that it would have a major impact upon the congregation. He accomplished the work. It drove home the point that anyone, at anytime, can become the Offender to betray Jesus

Every Wise Woman Builds Her House

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Sep 15, 2020

Knowingly or unknowingly, as women, we are in the business of building – building lives. It is necessary to build our homes as a wise woman. Three ways: Build with a strong foundation: WORD OF GOD. Build with a strong connection: PRAYER. Build with strong brick of LOVE

Proverbs 14:1 - Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands. Here Solomon contrasts once again between wisdom and folly, as in many other verses in Proverbs. And often, in all these verses, we find foolish people to be at one end of the spectrum and the ...read more

The Twelve Spies Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 4, 2022

The Twelve Spies were a group of Israelite chieftains, one from each of the Twelve Tribes, who were dispatched by Moses to scout out the Land of Canaan for 40 days as a future home for the Israelite people, when the Israelites were in the wilderness.

The Twelve Spies The Grapes of Canaan Although the spies brought back a cluster of grapes so large that it took two men to carry it (Numbers 13:23), only two of the twelve brought back a good report of the land.

How Do I Handle My Anger? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2021

The Bible says a Christian is a changed person. Like HGTV and the fixer-upper homes, a Christian is to have a "before and after" in their story. Our "after" is supposed to be really different than our "before."

Do You Know Him? (Matthew 7:21-29)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 24, 2024

Jesus warns that just because we have done "works" for Him doesn't mean that we know Him personally. Be certain of your own salvation and have built your home upon the Rock.

Dr. Frank Turek, noted Christian apologist and evangelist, has referred to Matthew 7:21-23 as the most terrifying words in all of the Bible. It is a warning against assumption, intentions, works, and false belief, all being evidence that Jesus Himself will use on the Day of Judgment as a warning ...read more

Life To The Full - A Funeral Sermon

Contributed by Duane Wente on May 6, 2024

Jesus came to give us life, but not just any life, a life to the full. We may live a full life here on earth, but the full life Jesus is giving to us extends beyond the grave to our eternal home with Him.

Sermon # 35 - The Sanctity Of Marriage Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 13, 2023

Marriage is God’s idea and the directive for a happy marriage is given by God Himself. When we honor marriage and treat our spouse the way God wants us to, our homes will be blessed and our families will be a blessing to many.

We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) Have you ever wondered why the kingdom of heaven is likened to the marriage of a king’s son? Often we consider marriage to be a normal part of our lives, but fail to realize that ...read more

Double Your Money

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 4, 2010

We think that we must protect what we have, and do not see those in need as brothers and sisters in disguise. But God puts back in our sacks more than enough when we walk on a mission of mercy and a journey of faith, caring for the hungry and needy.

Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, October 16, 1988 (World Hunger Sunday) Somehow, when our whole orientation is consuming and enjoying and entertaining ourselves, we pay no attention to anything beyond today. What we have today we use, and assume that tomorrow will take care of itself. ...read more

The Rejected Savior Who Will Be The Final Judge Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2021

The name and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ either brings about revival or riot, happiness or hatred, personal rage or personal redemption. It has been this way ever since His first appearing but all will bow to Him when He returns, whether they like it or not.

There are a lot of people today who want nothing to do with the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that attitude has been around since He departed this world (Acts 1:8-11). Every nation in the world (America included, unfortunately) hates Him and He is not even welcome in a number of ...read more

Empathic Compassion: Experiencing Your Pain In My Heart

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 18, 2021

When I think of Jesus I think of empathy and compassion; they are embedded Jesus' salvific mission. Too often clergy and Christians take a propositional approach to the Gospel. Loving and caring for people according to the example Jesus set requires us to demonstrate empathy and compassion.

I carefully watched him as he walked down the hall; he was dressed in a long flowing white coat. His head hung unpersuasively from his shoulders.
