    One Day At A Time

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,243 views

    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more

    The Emperor’s New Grove

     | 4,101 views

    The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

    In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

    Protecting God's Good Name Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Feb 14, 2022
     | 3,487 views

    This sermon brings this sermon series to an end. Since it should be our goal to make our lives all about God, then we should do our best to protect God's good name by our life of integrity and character. We are God's ambassadors and let's be the best ambassadors we can be.

    A. Today’s sermon brings to a conclusion our sermon series “It’s All About God – Living A God-Centered Life.” 1. It has been a real joy and a real blessing for me to develop this sermon series using Max Lucado’s book “It’s Not About You” as a resource. 2. We have spent three months of Sundays ...read more

    Second Samuel 14:1-33 shows us how false reconciliation sometimes occurs.

    Scripture Ken Sande writes in his book, The Peacemaker: A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, how loving actions can communicate forgiveness and reconciliation. He writes: Loving actions can do much more than change your feelings; they can also communicate in unmistakable terms the ...read more

    The Devil In The "isms"

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Oct 10, 2020
     | 3,296 views

    If we are to be successful as Christians, and as a local church, we must educate ourselves about satan’s evil purposes. I want to talk about satan’s influence in and through the “isms” of the world.

    The devil in the “Isms” TEXT: 2 COR. 2:5-11 (from the ESV) INTRODUCTION: I want to focus on: “We are not ignorant of his designs,” (KJV devices) where Paul is referring to satan’s designs. Designs is from the Greek word: “no'-a-mä” (nigh’ e ma) and means “a purpose, and specifically, an ...read more

    As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

    Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

    I have good news for you today: the Bible says God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). In a world full of spin and where people doctor the truth, the God of the Bible is total 100% truth. God is so much truth, the Bible even substitutes “amen” for God’s name.

    D. L. Moody placed the following words in the front of his Bible: “Sin will keep you from this Book and this Book will keep you from sin.”

    We continue our series, Seven Practices of a Healthy Christian. Last week, we focused on the heart and this week we focus on the mind – live the Bible.

    While no official persecution of Christianity currently exits, there are signs that Christianity is becoming increasingly unpopular.

    Jeff Lasater was 14 when he took his own life last month (October 20, 2008). A student in Las Angeles’ Acton High School, Lasater had been the target of boys throwing chili on him in the school lunch line. While others pulled his pants down. It was reported that the young man was the target of ...read more

    What gives us our identity is not color or culture. But “chosenness.” Christians are not the white race; they are the chosen race. Christians are not the black race; they are the chosen race.

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more

    "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." What does the plurality of heavens refer to, and what do the heavens' utterances say about God's glory? 

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated.
