The All You Can Eat Buffet

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Feb 22, 2001

We treat the faith like an "all you can eat buffet." We take what we want, and leave the rest. But can we really ignore whole servings of the Word of God?

Free At Last

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 13, 2003

Funeral sermon for Yvan Vital, Haitian freedom fighter. We lose our freedom if we allow ignorance and apathy to take us over; but to learn and to feel is to claim the justice that God will complete.

I God has made us free. That’s the very essence of what God did when He created us. He made us free. He gave each of His creatures a measure of freedom, limiting them to a degree, of course, but nonetheless free.

The Folly Of Spiritual Fools

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 6, 2004

Satan has some people so blinded that they ignore all the evidences God has given of their need to repent of their sins and trust Christ as their Savior. These people are for all practical purposes, "Spiritual Fools."

Trust His Heart

Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Apr 9, 2003

This sermon is based on Hosea 11 and is an attempt to help us feel the heart of God. Too often sermons deal with the divine will or mind while ignoring the divine heart. This sermon is designed to address this issue.

TRUST HIS HEART Hosea 11:1-11 If we wish to know God’s will we can refer to his law. If we wish to understand his mind we can study his revelation. But how do we handle his heart? I have but one intention today: To usher you into the presence of Almighty God and allow you to feel his pulse, to ...read more

Hard Or Simple?

So, they devised a simple test in order to detect how a person’s professional vocation influenced their answer to a simple question. The first to be tested ...read more

The Wise, The Prudent, And The Babies

Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 3, 2005

Life in the Kingdom is not an intellectual meritocracy. Rather, it is a respite for those who labor and are heavy laden in their spiritual ignorance. In one prayer of thanksgiving, Jesus condemns the "wise and prudent," and He welcomes the babes into Hi

Contributed by John Braland on Apr 3, 2007

All Samson had to do was walk into his destiny. Instead, he chose to walk wherever he wanted. His life is a shining example of how to know God’s will then ignore it.

More trustworthy sayings. The real deal from scripture. 1- Salvation can come to the ignorant and unbelieving 2- Mercy can be shown to the worst of sinners 3- Glory will come to the eternal King

INTRO.- Trust me. I’ve heard it said that you should never trust a person who says, “Trust me.” It’s more like never trust a politician who says, “Trust me.” Someone said: Never trust a restaurant that has a sign that reads, “Mama’s home cooking.” Especially, if there are no cars at that ...read more
