    "Visionary View: Don't Close Your Eyes to the Truth" Today, we delve into an essential topic: "Visionary View: Don't Close Your Eyes to the Truth." We live in a world filled with various perspectives and ideas, but as believers, it's crucial that we seek the truth ...read more

    The Lie: I Did It My Way Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 16, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,199 views

    "I did it my way" is the battle cry that sums up what so many people feel about their lives. They think this is a great idea... but it isn't. Why not?

    Back in 2010 there’s the true story of a British man named Shawn Murtagh who decided to wear a Halloween costume. To complete the costume he had a sequined top hat he wanted to wear at an angle on his head. But it wouldn’t quite stay on, so instead of attaching the hat to his head with a string, ...read more

    Hpffj: Helping People Follow Jesus Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jan 6, 2020
     | 4,547 views

    As we dig into this idea of discipleship, I would like to bring up four attitudes about discipleship that are important that we find in the Scriptures. We are going to look at one passage from each of the Gospels.

    HPFFJ: HELPING PEOPLE FOLLOW JESUS Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 8:34, Luke 6:40, John 8:31 #HPFFJ THREAD: The purpose of Cincinnati Christian Church is to “Help People Find and Follow Jesus.” For two weeks we are taking a look at the mission of Cincinnati Christian Church.

    Shall We Continue To Sin?

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 25, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,713 views

    This sermon handles two heresies creeping into some of our modern day churches, the idea the Old Testament is not valuable for a believer and that a Christian can't sin, based on Romans 6:1-14.

    Shall we Continue to Sin? Romans 6:1-14 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 The essence of our salvation lies in both grace and faith. Grace means we did not get what we deserve, condemnation and death, because a sinless Christ got what He did not deserve, God’s ...read more

    God And Community

     | 3,887 views

    God's case has 3 basic ideas (Outline and material adapted from Bill Donahue and Russ Robinson's book, Building a Church of Small Groups, Chapter 1, In the Beginning, God: The Theological Evidence)

    HoHum: In his book, “Imagine Your Life Without Fear” Max Lucado gives some significant insight when he says,"Questions can make hermits out of us, driving us into hiding. Yet the cave has no answers. Christ distributes courage through community; he dissipates doubts through fellowship. ...read more

    The Story Of God Series

    Contributed by Dwayne Dickson on Feb 13, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,695 views

    The first of a series on the essential stories of the Old Testament. This sermon describes God's character and being. It also explores the idea that we are the pinnacle of God's creation. God created us to pour His love into us.

    The Story of God Introduction This Sunday we are beginning a study of some of our favorite Old Testament Bible stories. And of course the best place to start is the beginning, the book of Genesis and the creation account. Over the years I have heard numerous reasons given for why Christians ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 29, 2016
     | 21,300 views

    The message of the cross of Jesus is still a strange message to those who have never experienced its life changing power. To them it is "foolishness". To the lost the idea of trusting a suffering, bleeding man for salvation is foolishness.

    THE WAY OF THE CROSS Study Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 Introduction: - When he wrote to the church in Corinth, Paul reminded them that he had been called for one purpose and that purpose was to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That message was to be his focus and that message was to be ...read more

     | 2,315 views

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more

     | 2,063 views

    The idea that people could rise from the dead is beyond belief. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would NOT come back from the grave. So, why would we believe that we would?

    Howard Stern (who’s not really a nice man) has a popular program on Sirius radio where he interviews politicians and movie stars and so on. About 5 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a guest on his show and during the interview, Howard Stern asked Schwarzenegger “Tell me, governor, what happens ...read more

    This is a prayer sermon from the prayer line of Pastor Oke. Contributions here are to advance the knowledge of the things of God and Jesus Christ. No profit is intended for the pastor or his ministry. Spiritual ideas are from the Word of God.

    The Fear of the Unknown Many people fear change, for change creates unknowns. Change can make us uncomfortable. But change is an inevitability of life. We’re born, we live, we grow, we age, we die. Change is constant! As someone once said, “The only thing that doesn’t change in life is ...read more

    Why To Suffer Is To Reign With Christ

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Jul 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 993 views

    This sermon delves into a profound and often challenging aspect of our Christian journey: suffering. The idea that suffering is an integral part of reigning with Christ can seem paradoxical, yet it is a recurring theme throughout the New Testament.

    Good morning, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, we delve into a profound and often challenging aspect of our Christian journey: suffering.

    What Does The Bible Say About Sex Before Marriage?

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Aug 2, 2024
     | 1,103 views

    Sex outside of marriage is so commonplace (inside and outside the church), and many people do not even consider the idea of getting married, that it appears that no-one actually knows what God wants for us.

    “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a ...read more

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,103 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

    Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

    Hell # 2 ~ Lk.16:19-31

    Contributed by William D. Brown on May 24, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,725 views

    There are more people that don’t believe there is a HELL than there are that do believe it, but there are no unbelievers in HELL, they were all unbelievers before they arrived there but not now. What a sad reality this is, but now it’s to late, they all

    HELL # 2 ~ LK.16:19-31~ DO YOU BELIEVE HELL IS A REAL PLACE? 5-26-12 Last time we began this message to do with "hell" so I’ll probably say some of the same things again as the context may call for it. "Hell" is found in our KJ Bible 54 times, 31 times in the O.T. and 23 in the N.T. ...read more

    The Toughest Job On Earth Series

    Contributed by Steve Bond on Aug 15, 2007
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,193 views

    One of the uncomfortable realities about parenting is that we don’t know as much as we think we know. This is the final message in our series: Desperate Households. Today’s message deals with parenting, the toughest job on earth.

    Introduction One of the uncomfortable realities about parenting is that we don’t know as much as we think we know. When I was younger I used to think I knew almost everything about my kids. But the older I get the more I realize how naïve I was. This is only scratching the surface about my naiveté, ...read more
