Sermons on Humility And Pride:

Watch Your Step! Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 4, 2012

There are many countries around the world that have fallen and I believe in most cases it is due to power struggles that take place and just plain old pride. Solomon said pride comes before a fall and I believe that is exactly what is happening in the Un

TRAPS “Watch your Step!” Psalm 59:12, Isaiah 14:12-14 and 2 Corinthians 7:4 For the past 12 weeks we have looked at a variety of traps that Satan places in our path. As we have seen, these traps come in different sizes, large and small. And I have this suspicion – that of all ...read more

Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

Contributed by Adebayo Adefioye on Sep 26, 2022

In this world of uncertainty and distractions, fixing your eyes only on Jesus can guarantee a glorious end

TOPIC - FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS There was a game we used to play as a kid whereby you lock/fix gazes and the person that blinked first loses. The same with Christ. The moment you lose your gaze on Him, you begin to fall/sink. Check Matthew 14:15-33. Fixing your eyes on Christ means focusing your ...read more

A Son's Mistake Series

Contributed by Diana Tyler on Aug 22, 2023

Nebuchadnezzar's son disrespect brings about disaster

When King Nebuchadnezzar died, his son Belshazzar took his place. Like his father was in the beginning, he had a lot of pride and worshipped other gods. But he went too far when during a feast decided to use the gold and silver cups Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple of Jerusalem. Daniel ...read more

"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more

A Perfect Heart – Part 2 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Jan 31, 2022

We continue to learn about how to be loyal to the Lord one hundred percent.

As the Lord says, if you want to live upright before me and walk with a perfect heart, then you have to look at yourself. Look at your heart and say, “Lord, take away everything that is not perfect, take away everything that is displeasing in Your sight and Lord remove all the high places from my ...read more

The Marks Of The Lord

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2022

This is a day of symbols or day of signs. We want people to know where we stand.

Paul had a sign, a symbol and every where he went people knew to whom he belonged, and they knew where he stood. Verse 17, “I bear in my boy the marks” or the stigmata, that mark of the Lord. The Greek word stigmata has reference to a custom back in those days. A very cruel custom of branding a ...read more

Edom's False Security Series

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 19, 2021

What gave the Edomites their arrogance and false sense of security?

we began a new study in the one-chapter Old Testament book of Obadiah. Historians do not know anything about him personally other than he wrote this prophesy. It is a little odd that this book is included in the OT writings, because it is not written to the nation of Israel, but to Edom. The ...read more

What Is It Going To Be? Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on May 30, 2022

We are to take serious the decrees of God.

Introduction I believe that God asks every one of us “what is it going to be?” Are you going to choose to live the way that I want you to live or are you going to choose any which way you way to live your life? Today in our passage of Scripture, God asked Nebuchadnezzar that exact question through ...read more

The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022

Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

Verses 11 – 19: Was the miserable son wasteful? The young son’s portion of the property was 33% (Deuteronomy 21:17). By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

It’s Not For You

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 16, 2024

Even though you are extremely blessed and experienced in your field of work, that does not mean you can perform God's work without His calling.

And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God.” 2 Chronicles ...read more

Heman

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 15, 2024

Heman, in spite of living a holy life, wept for the sins that came along with His birth, i.e. the sins that came as part of the fall of mankind.

Psalm 51 and Psalm 88 were written by two saints of God when they were going through extreme agony. David wrote Psalm 51 after he sinned against Bathsheba. Psalm 88 was written by Heman, one of the sons of Asaph. Heman was a wise man and seer in David's kingdom. Heman had a very good ...read more

"Do You Know Me?”

Contributed by Mike Bence on Feb 11, 2025

Our personal relationship with God is vital for this life and the eternal, we can’t simply rely on what we are told, we must know him ourselves. Jesus walked this earth but no one truly knew Him, we have that opportunity today and now to walk with Him and know Him.

Do You Know Me? John 14 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe ...read more

Nebuchadnezzar doesn't realize the pride in him has reminded us of the past and the future

In Daniel 3:1-3, King Nebuchadnezzar makes an image of himself of gold that is 60 cubits high and 6 cubits wide. He set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather the satraps, administrators, governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, ...read more
