    Coming To Terms (Romans 3:21-31) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Mar 22, 2022
     | 2,773 views

    The second half of Romans 3 gives us a crash course in theological vocabulary, and the most important paragraph in the Bible.

    Good morning! Please turn to Romans 3. We are going to pick up where we left off last week. Last week we talked about the Grand Finale of Paul’s argument that no one is righteous before God. And I realize that it’s a hard thing for people to accept, that there’s nothing we can do to earn our ...read more

    Attitudes In The Life Of Jonah

     | 2,094 views

    Some people describe others by saying, “They have an attitude problem.” Listen, on any given day that could be said of any of us.

    Illus: There used to be a song that some churches in the South liked to sing called, “I woke up this morning feeling fine! I woke up with heaven on my mind.” But I have a confession, sometimes I wake up and I am not feeling fine, and I certainly do not have heaven on my mind. Generally, when we ...read more

    Many people, including many Christians, are utterly bored with life.

    (1) SOME ARE BORED IN THEIR MARRIAGE Illus: Before Linda became engaged, she was quite the beauty, and didn't mind letting her boyfriend know it. One day she told him, "A lot of men are gonna be totally miserable when I marry." "Really?" asked her boyfriend, "And just ...read more

    Children are different in many ways, but almost always they are alike in one way.

    • You tell a child to do something and invariably they will say, “why” ? • You tell a child not to do something and invariably they will say “why”? One of the reasons it annoys us as parents when our children do this, is because sometimes we know they should do something, but we do not always ...read more

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

    Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

    Illus: If you are an insurance salesman and you drive up to a home that has a large sign on the gate of the fence that says, “Beware of bad dog”, you can not blame the owner if this vicious dog tries to eat your leg off before you get to the car. Life is filled with many things to BEWARE ...read more

    Bible Study 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

    This study was personal to me because I know what it's like to be weak. I survived a traumatic brain injury in 2006 & was in rehab for a couple years. God used that event to bring my life in accordance with His will.

    The format I use for Bible studies comes from one of the study Bibles I have. That Bible has worksheets in it for you to study scripture using the H.E.A.R format. That is Highlight-Explain-Apply-Respond. Highlight is the verse to study. Explain & Apply are pretty self explanatory. Respond is ...read more

     | 4,338 views

    Looking at the story of Naaman the Leper from the Old Testament, we’ll examine what the world cannot do, and what humanity cannot heal, but Jesus can, as He forgives our sins and heals our relationship with God, bringing us back into harmony and unity with Him.

    The Disease Humanity Can’t Cure 2 Kings 5 WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikQdDgOgoSk With all our scientific and medical advancements and breakthroughs there still exists a disease that humanity cannot find a cure for.

    I want to preach about what many believe is the number one problem in many homes today…THAT IS COMMUNICATION.

    If you do the research most marriage counselors will tell you that 85% of the problems they deal with in marriages today has to do with communication. Some believe the reason for the problem with communication has to do with the difference between the male and female brain. Illus: Did you hear ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God is so good to lost people when they do not reciprocate in their feelings toward Him?

    Illus: Perhaps the answer can be illustrated by the story of the little girl who went to her mother to show her some fruit her friend gave her. The mother said, “Your friend has been very kind.” “Yes,” said the child, “She gave me more; but I gave some away.” When her mother asked who she gave ...read more

    An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

    This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage” effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of you ...read more

    The story is told of a young farmer who was drafted into the Confederate army to serve during the Civil War.

    The war was such a strain on the South that they did not have time to train the recruits. They drafted them to serve and placed them on the battle line to fight. This one young man was drafted and never had time to learn how: • To salute. • To keep in step as he marched. • Even, to know what the ...read more

    In the last five sermons, we have been preaching about marriage, and today we want to focus on a very important subject that God is very concerned about.

    We want to preach about children in our marriage. Children can be a blessing, or they can cause much pain. Usually the outcome is directly affected by how much the parents obey God's Word in raising them. Illus: One lady that had three teenagers was asked, "If you had it to do all over ...read more

    This message, on anger, probably applies to all of us at one time or other. Today’s society seems to have much anger in it.

    For example... 1. WE SEE ANGER IN OUR HOMES. We see much anger about significant and insignificant things.
