One Man Shall Die For All Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

Good Friday: All of us have ideas about the person of Christ and His work. Because of their presuppositions, the chief priests and Pharisees were unable to see the "truth" that Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.

I’ve entitled our message this evening, “One Man Shall Die for All.” We call the day that our Lord died on the cross Good Friday, but there was nothing good about it for Jesus. This day is called “good,” because it’s good for us. In a prophecy of the Messiah, in Isaiah 53:4-5, we read, “Surely, ...read more

What's Your Response To Jesus?

Contributed by Gene Gregory on Apr 30, 2021

Next in series on John. Examines the options we have in responding to Jesus.

John 11 (2) Last week we studied the resurrection of Lazarus. What a fantastic miracle that was. Can you imagine? Can you imagine someone who has been dead for 4 days, being raised from the dead? Can you imagine being one of the mourners at Mary and Martha’s house? Can you imagine being there, ...read more

"The Importance Of Grace”

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 2, 2021

Today I would like to you about grace. Which is one of many of the many attributes of God and a subject some have forgot about while others talk about it with no real understanding of it.

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Intro: Today I would like to you about grace. Which is one of many of the many attributes of God and a subject some have forgot about while others talk about it with no real ...read more

What Is Our Purpose? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If we do not know the Lord’s purpose as a church, then we can’t plan for success; and thus, we will see no results in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. This passage shows the five purposes (five E-words) designed for every church.

This morning, I want us to think about our purpose. The word “purpose” is defined as, “the reason for which something exists or is done,” and “an intended or desired result.”(1) Based on the definition of the word “purpose,” we can see how we need to consider the reason why we do certain things, ...read more

We Believe In The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Salvation doesn’t merely consist in our receiving the forgiveness of sins. In the cross, we are justified. More than having my sins removed, I am credited with Jesus’ good actions.

“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 ...read more

Jesus Wept

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 18, 2020

Have you ever stopped to wonder what could possibly bring tears to the eyes of God? Can you imagine the face of Jesus, moist with his own tears? Are they tears of weakness or of strength? Of fear or compassion?

TITLE: JESUS WEPT SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 11:35 This is the shortest verse in the Bible -- “JESUS WEPT.” But for all its grammatical simplicity, it’s packed with unfathomable complexity. No book has a higher Christology, the study of Christ, than the Gospel of John. His persistent focus on ...read more

It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

I continue messages on our trip to Israel. Last time we looked at Jeremiah who suffered for preaching the Word. Today the Hebrews crossed the Jordan and erected an altar in Gilgal about 3 miles from Jericho. Elijah did the same at Mt. Carmel where we visited. What makes an altar important?

IT IS TIME TO REPAIR ALL BROKEN ALTARS 1. Joshua 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of ...read more

The Unsearchable Riches Of Christ Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Mar 22, 2022

What Paul was doing in the early church we are to continue to do the same today. The caveat is that we must always be careful not to bend the message of the gospel to fit the preference or desires of those to whom we are sharing the gospel.

"no" Is A Beautiful Word. It Set Me Free

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Mar 24, 2022

How are we set free from sin and death? No condemnation. How and where? In Christ.

3.27.22 Romans 8:1–4 (EHV) 1 So then, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 Indeed, what the law was unable to do, because it was weakened by the flesh, God did, when he ...read more

Managing Money God's Way: Sharing Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 24, 2022

Money plays a big role in our lives, so it shouldn't surprise us that the Bible has a lot to say about it. In this sermon, we discover that sharing our money should be purposeful, pleasant, and productive.

Managing Money God’s Way: Sharing Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 10/9/16 Most of us have probably heard the saying, “Money talks.” Someone once said, “If money talks, all it ever says to me is good-bye!” I heard a story recently though about some talking money. A well-worn ...read more

My God Shall Supply

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

The lost world makes it known that they do not want to serve God in various ways.

They do not want anyone, not even God, telling them how they should live their lives! Something the lost world does not seem to know is this; EVERYONE SERVES A GOD OF SOME SORT! The lost world has many gods that have control of their lives. Remember when Paul came to Mars Hill, in the Book of ...read more

Biblical Fellowship (A Communion Sermon)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

Someone said, “Fellowship is like fellows in a ship!” Then they said, “The only thing wrong with fellowship is that there are not enough fellows in the ship.”

As we read through the New Testament, we can see that FELLOWSHIP is essential to God’s church. For a church to be a strong church, FELLOWSHIP IS ESSENTIAL. Let me give you an example how important it is. Illus: Romanian orphans have a medical condition that many of them suffer from. In ...read more

The Book Of Mark # 15

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

The calling of the twelve disciples is significant. These twelve men were special in that they were chosen to be the twelve disciples that the Lord Jesus Himself was going to teach and train.

These twelve men had opportunities that no other men who ever lived on this earth have had. Each disciple that Jesus called into the ministry had special skills. Many of them were fishermen, and He took their skill as fishermen and made them “fishers of men.” Let’s look at two things: I. THE ...read more
