     | 3,457 views

    In part 5 of this series we examine what Jesus said about our being the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are to be a preserving influence in a dying world and a light in a world of darkness.

     | 4,307 views

    How did the world get in such a mess? Where does the evil found in our society find its roots? The answer is not mental insanity, but original sin.

    The Fall and Original Sin (Genesis 3:1-7) 1. Lots of tragic news: child killed by molester; mother murdered her children.. 2. O’Reilly guest---all murderers are insane… 3. Now sometimes people are insane, but so many people refuse to accept another explanation for mankind’s woes: original sin. 4. ...read more

    In the midst of our "throw away" society, Jesus restores broken lives. Let Jesus give you a "before and after" story of restoration, renewal and hope.

    Intro: You have probably heard the story about the preacher who would put a breath mint in his mouth as he would step to the pulpit to begin to preach. Not only did this keep the preacher from having bad breath to offend his congregation as he would greet them at the conclusion of the mornings ...read more

    Seek Not Great Things For Thyself

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Mar 5, 2003
    based on 63 ratings
     | 10,763 views

    As Christians, living in this materialistically oriented society, we need to consider the word of God delivered by Jeremiah to Baruch, his scribe: "Seek Not Great Things for Thyself!"

    SEEK NOT GREAT THINGS FOR THYSELF "Baruch, this is what the Lord says: ’I will destroy this nation that I built. I will uproot what I planted. Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! But don’t be discouraged. I will bring great disaster upon all these people, but I will protect ...read more

    A Father’s Day sermon dealing with three areas in which fathers are extremely important, as we wage war for our children against an ungodly society.

    The father of five children had won a toy at a raffle. He called his kids together to ask which of them should have the present. "Who is the most obedient?" he asked. "Who never talks back to mother? Who does everything she says?" Five small voices answered in unison. "Okay, dad, you get the ...read more

    Life Without God

    Contributed by James Harrington on May 9, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 28,518 views

    In our society it seems that we are devoid of God. Life wasn’t much different in the days of Judges. It’s a life literally without God.

    Life Without God I remember clearly the day when I first saw the sign “God is Dead.” About 30 years ago, I was traveling on I-65 headed north to Indiana with my family. My mind was in neutral and I was somewhere else in “never-never land” as you sometimes get when you are driving on a long trip. ...read more

    We are living in an increasingly mobile society. Things that anchored people for thousands of years are being changed, almost overnight. In the midst of this, people feel disconnected.

    Disconnected Pastor Rex Deckard I. Introduction We are living in an increasingly mobile society. Things that anchored people for thousands of years are being changed, almost overnight.

     | 6,107 views

    In a society where independence, self-determination and equality are so important in our daily lives, how can something like obedience even still exist!

    KNOWING GOD THROUGH OBEDIENCE 1 John 2:3-6 3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him.

    Ethics Must Be Integrated Into Economic Activity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2009
     | 2,666 views

    Just as the action of Herod and of abortionists shows the divorce of economics and ethics, so we must reintegrate ethics into economic activity, if we are to reclaim society for Christ

    December 28, 2009 Feast of the Holy Innocents Caritas in Veritate The timeliness of the Pope’s encyclical, Charity in Truth, and its match to our Monday Scriptures is truly remarkable. Aristotle, himself an unbeliever, used mere reason to arrive at some remarkable truths. One of them is that ...read more

    According to estimates of the American Society for Population Research (ASPR), there are 60 million people who die annually. That is about 2 deaths for every tick of the second.

    Intro: According to estimates of the American Society for Population Research (ASPR), there are 60 million people who die annually. That is about 2 deaths for every tick of the second.

    A Redeeming Ministry Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,763 views

    Jesus redeems the unlovable, untouchable and unreachable in our society. He loves sinners but He does not want them to remain unclean like the leprous man.

    Now a leper came to Him, imploring (ðáñáêáëÝù - continually calling for help) Him, kneeling down ( falling down on knees continually) to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean. (êáèáñßîù to make clean)" Then Jesus, moved with compassion, (óðëáã÷íßîïìáé to be moved with ...read more

    Enough With The Selfies

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2016
     | 9,891 views

    In a society that seems to be obsessed with self love the concept of crucifying self seems a little odd. This message looks at what it means to crucify our sinful nature.

    Enough with the selfies. And you thought that selfies were harmless. When selfies first came out I thought taking pictures of yourself with a cell phone was a passing fad. But no, it seems that they are here to stay. All kinds of people are taking pictures of themselves, from the famous to the ...read more

    What Do I Need To Know About Sex? Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 4, 2014
     | 3,974 views

    Since 'sex' is a topic we hear and read about everywhere in our society, doesn't it make sense we hear about it in church as well?

    “Getting A Clue: What Do I Need to Know About Sex?” Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:12-20 I imagine today’s sermon title, “What Do I Need to Know About Sex”- raised some eyebrows – and maybe even some temperatures. Some perhaps stayed away – some perhaps came ...read more
