Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 23, 2023

Paul examines the position of Jews but the whole world is judged on good and evil. What leads to being accepted by God? God is impartial and judges impartially. Are you a hearer only or a doer?

Our Compassion And Our Consecration

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

It is believed by many that some of the best training for life that one receives at college is not in the classroom, but in the dormitories.

That is, there are some roommates that can teach you more about life in the dorm, than any college professor can teach you in a classroom. One thing they certainly can teach you a lot about is patience. When you have a roommate in the dorm: • When you want to study, he wants to play the radio • ...read more

Refuting The Entitled Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

My Message Is All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022

If we are not careful, we can get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus and begin to make the message about us. But our message and our ministry must be all about Him and not about us. We must lift Him up, and He will draw people to Himself.

A. I read about a minister who gave an unusual sermon one Sunday. 1. He used a peanut to make several important points about the wisdom of God in nature. 2. One of the church members greeted him on the way out and said, “Very interesting sermon, Preacher, I never expected to learn so much from a ...read more

By His Authority. Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 14, 2020

Paul continues to answer his critics in Corinth, and we are faced with the same problem we had before; we are only hearing one side of the argument, Paul’s side, and we can only deduce what the criticisms were from Paul’s reply to them.

The Garden Tomb – The Sagacity Of Patience (9/12) Series

Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Oct 12, 2020

“Game over. Jesus was dead. We lost.” The Disciples stopped believing and gave up waiting. Sagacity is the quality of being discerning, patient, farsighted and wise. Don't lose faith in troubled times. Immediate/Instant are not always part of God’s vocabulary.

When You're The Problem: The Fallout Of A Self-Centered Existence Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Our aim this morning is to sniff out the barnacles of pride inside of each us. Today’s Big Idea: Pride causes division; humility draws the gaze of God.

Paul writes to the church at Corinth to help genuine believers solve their divisions. When you read today’s words from Paul to the church at Corinth, you need to prepare for the knife. Paul writes as one who is taking a scalpel in hand to perform surgery on the church he founded by the grace of ...read more

Accept No Substitutes Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 15, 2021

In the summer of my 19th year I was excited to take a summer job in Yellowstone National Park working as a dishwasher in Canyon Village. I say I was excited, because I had longed dreamed of the great trout fishing amid all the natural beauty that Yellowstone is famed for. But what I didn’t count ...read more

Joseph's Sale Into Slavery

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Feb 9, 2018

Joseph's salient slavery in Genesis 37:2-36 teaches us that God used the evil deeds of Joseph's brothers as part of his plan to save his people.

Scripture Today, I am beginning a new series of sermons that I am calling "Jacob's Descendants," based on Genesis 37-50.
