    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Oct 10, 2007
    based on 18 ratings
     | 6,108 views

    This sermon attempts to communicate that living by the law will not make you right with God rather you must be right to live right and you are made right by receiving righteousness from God whether Jew or Gentile.

    Living by the law sounds good doesn’t it? Most of us Americans are law abiding citizens, wouldn’t you say? That is, until you stop and think about how the jails of our nation are over crowded and how the court system is back logged with cases. I was talking with a lady one day who had been ...read more

    Peace Boulevard Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 8, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,347 views

    The Biblical word "peace" [Greek ~ Irene] signifies far more than merely the absence of war. It carries the idea of completeness and wholeness. It conveys a sense of inner-satisfaction and fulfillment. It communicates the idea of contentment and serenity.

    Opening illustration: A four-year-old and a six-year-old presented their mom with a houseplant. They had used their own money to buy it and she was thrilled. The older of them said with a sad face, "There was a bouquet at the flower shop that we wanted to give you. It was real pretty but it was too ...read more

     | 6,765 views

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    Breaking The Isolation

    Contributed by James Lee on Oct 31, 2012
     | 7,070 views

    Our community is filled with people who, once were regular fixtures down at the local church. Something was said…an impression was given…grace was denied…and they walked away.

    Have you ever noticed that when we get wounded, we tend to isolate ourselves from others…? Nations build walls of isolation…ancient cities were surrounded by motes and high walls, for the purpose of keeping others out. Many are isolating themselves from the body of Christ and are ...read more

    It’s not about us, it’s all about Him. (Sermon delivered during the 15th Anniversary Celebration of Fil-Am Community Church in Springfield, VA on Nov. 20, 2011)

    Paul explained to Timothy the proper role of Christian women as essential to the function of the church. The Christian community must embrace the proper role of godly women. But how is it discovered? Responsibility for Christian women is found in her..

    THE ROLE Of CHRISTIAN WOMEN—1Timothy 2:9-15 This sermon was very well received. One woman commented that I was ‘ballsy’ for preaching this. She also stated that her mother(were she a church-goer) would not have stood for it. Attention: Movie/Broadway presentation—requires that each ...read more

    In revival, God moves in the district. Suddenly, the community becomes God conscious. The Spirit of God grips men and women in such a way that even work is given up as people give themselves to waiting upon God.

    The Scottish Hebrides The 1949 Island of Lewis Revival – How the revival spread - by Duncan Campbell REVIVAL DEFINED First, let me tell you what I mean by revival. An evangelistic campaign or special meeting is not revival. In a successful evangelistic campaign or crusade, there ...read more

    The Perfect Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 19, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,536 views

    The Lord's Prayer tells us God is our "Heavenly Father". That implies that God uses the better tendencies of earthly fathers to communicate who He is. So, what are the traits of decent Earthly fathers?

    (Explanation of opening: The traditionally memorized version of the Lord’s Prayer is found only in the KJV. Since we have ESV pew Bibles – which leave off the last verse – I felt that would create confusion as to why that verse was missing. I didn’t want to go there, so I put the KJV on screen and ...read more

    As one reads news articles from around the Christian community, it is hard not to notice that many churches and denominations seem to stepping away from "controversial" biblical teachings in favor of a world view version of the bible.

    The Holy Spirit does the hands-on work in the Bible: creating, inspiring, empowering, communicating the Word. Jesus left Him to direct the church. Are we ignoring Him or are we seeking Him and cooperating with Him?

    Jesus didn't fit John's idea of what the Messiah would be like. Jesus stressed love rather than judgment. Jesus moves in surprising ways and communicates God's grace in unexpected situations.
