Sermons on Hope For The Hopeless:

Heaven Help My Home!

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021

The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more

The Paradox Of Judging

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Dec 3, 2021

We all know that judging is bad, but we also know that judging is good. How can the same thing be both good and bad? That is what paradox is all about and we are going to see how it can be true of judging.

Paul is judging the Jews for being terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible sinners. But if judging is always bad, then I can judge Paul to be terrible for judging the Jews to be terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible, and you can in turn judge me for being terrible in judging ...read more

We Serve A God Of Wonders (Joshua 3:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 7, 2021

God is a living God, and He is still a God of Wonders.

If someone asked you, what are the most amazing wonders God has ever done, how would you answer? Was it when God freed Israel from their slavery to Egypt? When God parted the Red Sea? When God raised Jesus from the dead? If you were an Israelite answering this question, one of the first ...read more

Pattern Of Conversion 5 Series

Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Dec 17, 2021

To establish that Paul’s preaching of Christ unto the Philippian jailer and his house in Philippi was the continuation of his preaching, of the Great Commission and the Holy Spirit’s revelation of the “pattern of conversion,” designed to save all believers by God’s grace through the faith in Christ.

INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Hear of the faith. 2. Believe in the gospel. 3. Repent of sins. 4. Confess faith in Christ. 5. Be baptized into Christ. Introductory Remarks. 1.

Jochebed And Other Women

Contributed by Dennis King on Dec 18, 2021

Which woman of the Old Testament Bible had three famous children? One of whom was Yekutiel? As a hint, she was the first woman in the Bible whose name is compounded with the name of Jehovah God. We didn't actually learn her godly name right away. She was just called a Levite woman.

The lady we will study first is Jochebed, a mother who was incredibly confident, creative, and courageous! Her son was, in my opinion, the major character in the Old Testament. Therefore, Jochebed may deserve more recognition than she has been previously given. Our information of her is quite ...read more

Silas Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 31, 2021

Not everyone liked what Paul and Silas were doing, so they imprisoned them. Despite all the intricate and demanding things they experienced, they never complained. On the contrary, songs of praise were heard from the darkest dungeon where they were being held.

Silas Paul settled in Antioch, where he continued to work with the people to live a happy life by the gospel. However, Paul felt that the Holy Spirit was working in the Church, so that it was time to go out and spread the gospel of Jesus. So he went out to be a missionary, and on one of his ...read more

Our God Is A Great Warrior (Joshua 10:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

It's maybe more helpful to describe God as the "More Powerful One," than to call him "All-Powerful." We have good theology, but we talk about God in ways that make talk of "omnipotence" pointless. God has your back. And God fights for you.

Joshua 10 is complicated, and I'm not sure how to teach it. Normally, the way stories work, is that there is a flow to them-- an order. One thing naturally leads to another, which leads to another. Stories look like life looks. Everything happens in sequence. In chapter 10, AJ bends the ...read more

Function In A World Gone Mad Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 5, 2022

To function in a world gone mad, remember that God sent a world-wide flood, resist the urge to submit to the world's demands, and submit to God alone, your sovereign savior.

Once upon a time, there was a family of mice who lived all of their lives in a large piano. Often, the music of the instrument filled the dark spaces of their world with beautiful melodies, countermelodies and harmonies. At first, the mice were very impressed. They drew comfort from the thought ...read more

Recognizing The Great Apostasy

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 6, 2022

The Bible tells us to stay strong in our faith and to always meet together as a church. But when we look around, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason.

In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one ...read more

We Kiss The Son's Feet (Psalm 2:1-12) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

God has placed all nations under Jesus' feet, and under ours in Christ. We serve him in reverence.

This morning we're going to work through Psalm 2. OT scholars call Psalm 2 a royal psalm. And what they mean by that, is that it's one of the psalms that centers around some aspect of the Davidic kingship. This is a psalm that's really important to the NT. It's read as being ...read more

The Privilege Of Proclaiming The Gospel (Ephesians 3:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Paul catches himself, and talks about how God has blessed him, by giving him the job of telling people what Jesus has done for them, and for the world. Jesus is God's checkmate.

Over the past two weeks, in chapter 2, we've seen Paul very briefly explain what God has done for all people-- Jews and Gentiles-- through Jesus. God made one person, tearing down the wall separating Jew from Gentile, making it so everyone has peace with God and with each other through ...read more
