    Core 52 Week 5 - Holiness Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 2, 2020
     | 2,339 views

    Some things are set apart for specific uses and specific people. We “get it” instinctively that some things are not common. They’re special because of their purpose or perhaps an emotional attachment. That uniqueness, special regard is the idea behind the biblical concept of holiness.

    To hear the sermon, please visit my podcast at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/697261/2691094 Holiness - Living Up to God's Standards Intro: • Finding underwear in used car I just bought.

    Set Your Mind On Things Above

    Contributed by Marc Heatherington on May 18, 2021
     | 8,115 views

    Colossians 3 tells us to set our minds on things above. The goal of this sermon is to give people an idea of the things above that would should focus on. Faith is the hope of things unseen. What are those unseen things? What are the things above?

    Set your Mind on Things Above Colossians 3:1-3 By Marc Heatherington “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,032 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more

    Sermon # 5 - God's Design For The Family Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 297 views

    Marriage is God’s idea and God created Eve as a suitable helper for Adam. Only when couples understand the sanctity of marriage and abide by the guidelines that God has set for us will we have happy and healthy families that honor God and are a blessing to others.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God teaches us ...read more

    One of the greatest dangers in life is the misunderstanding of a concept. Because of misunderstandings we have many different belief systems, different religious ideas, people have been called heretic, crazy, looney, and many other names all because there is a misunderstanding of concept.

    Main Idea: We can love others no matter what because we have an endless source of love within us, the Holy Spirit. God is love. Love is always the right response. And we will be a church who loves others no matter what.

    John, one of Jesus' best buds, tells us that God is love. It's not just something He does, it's who He is. Everything God does is because He loves us. And guess what? He loves us no matter what, and He loves everyone else too. God is love. It's not just something He does, it's who He is. John wants ...read more

    Finding Strength In Small Things SermonCentral

    based on 2 ratings
     | 835 views

    The world often values the big, the many, the rich, and the famous. However, this sermon explores the idea that less can be more, and that there is strength and importance in the small and few when God is involved. It challenges the belief that bigger is always better, and encourages finding value in simplicity and smallness.

    The world often promotes the idea that bigger is better and smaller is not good. The unbelievers believe that more is always better and less is not valuable. They believe that there is strength in numbers and that the few are unimportant. They prioritize the rich and famous over the poor and ...read more

    Old Whiners Or New Wineskins? Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 21,366 views

    We all have a tendency to reject a new idea, or a new revelation of truth because we like the old too much. Like an old, stiff wineskin, our hearts and minds can calcify until we become so inflexible we can’t accept change.

    INTRODUCTION Have you ever known someone who was a chronic whiner? They are constantly whining about their health or the weather, or what’s going on in Washington. Do you know someone like that? Now, do you think anybody was thinking about YOU? Chronic whiners and complainers are everywhere. I ...read more

    Paul’s third missionary journey was complete, having begun after a visit to “the church” in the holy city (18:22) and now ending there. His Greek mission was also complete. He would not return. Luke had prepared his readers well for this reality.

     | 2,224 views

    To be able to “Love Well” means I embrace the 4 letter word, “LOVE.” But I must embrace the original definition and application given to the word “Love” by God and as God. The sad reality is the word, “Love” has been twisted, made to be filled with lust and loveless ways today.

    From the very beginning of time, space, reality itself in which we exist God the designer, the grand architect of energy and matter foresaw all that would happen. He knew before his voice called the stars and planets into existence that a redeemer would be needed for a wayward mankind.
