     | 9,698 views

    The disciples didn't stand a chance. Neither do you. But there is hope...

    John 17:11-19 The Gospel for Underdogs 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and ...read more

     | 32,300 views

    Hezekiah the king of Judah was faithful to God and trusted him through great opposition bringing revival to the nation when it was far away from God.

    **INTRODUCTION** Many people in the Bible are known for different things. King David was known for killing the giant Goliath. What would you say Moses was known for? What about Joshua, what was Joshua known for? Today we are going to learn about Hezekiah. Q. What was Hezekiah known for? A. ...read more

     | 7,855 views

    We need to revisit the doctrine of Justification bt Faith alone in light of the upcoming 500th anniversary of the Reformation

    The Just Shall Live By Faith Romans 1:17 Romans 1:17 is arguably the most influential sentence that has ever been written, even more than the beloved John 3:16. This is because of how this verse transformed Martin Luther’s life and became a central theme to the Reformation of which we are on the ...read more

    The Calling Of The Twelve Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 10, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,818 views

    Jesus called twelve men to serve as disciples. These men came from different backgrounds, varied occupations, and unique personalities. Jesus used ordinary men in extraordinary ways. That should challenge and encourage every believer.

    The Calling of the Twelve Mark 3: 13-21 Surely you would agree that our study thus far has revealed a very busy, and often difficult time for Jesus. His ministry had gained momentum and immense popularity among the common people. Everywhere Jesus went, He was met with large crowds of people, all ...read more

    Part 5 of the Sermon Series, "God of Elisha"

    The cluster of miracles of Elijah and Elisha serve several purposes. One is to show Israel that Yahweh remains faithful to Israel even after her exile to Babylon. The other is to show Israel that despite the godlessness of her kings, Yahweh remains gracious and merciful in difficult times. The ...read more

    Opening Our Eyes To God’s Glory

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 25, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,796 views

    The transfiguration reveals that Jesus is powerful (he is God!), primary (he must come first), personable (he cares about us), and passionate (he desires all to be saved). God wants us, like the disciples present, to "listen to him!"

    Matthew 17:1-9 Opening Our Eyes to God’s Glory Do you ever get the sense that you take God for granted? Some of us grew up in homes where going to Sunday worship was expected of us. We grew up always knowing the love of God from an early age. And perhaps we’re spoiled a little. We don’t remember ...read more

     | 12,880 views

    It is increasingly apparent that we are living in the end times. The return of our Lord is drawing closer with each passing day. As we move through these last days, it is good to have biblical instruction regarding them. John provides needed insight.

    The End Time in Our Time 1 John 2: 18-23 In our previous study John gave direction concerning spiritual victory for the believer. Regardless of our maturity level, all need to grow in the Lord. Continued growth is essential in overcoming the difficulties we face. John knew the struggles present ...read more

    The Confidence Of Elijah Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 18, 2016
     | 15,649 views

    Elijah was forced to live by faith in a place of isolation, totally depending on the Lord. These places of isolation are often difficult, but very beneficial. We should cherish and guard those places where we have an opportunity to hear from the Lord.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 3 The Confidence of Elijah 1 Kings 17: 1-7 Following several chapters dealing with the chronicles of the kings of Judah and Israel, we are abruptly introduced to a man named Elijah. There is no background information leading up to his ministry; he just steps on the scene ...read more

    Humility 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 20, 2016
     | 6,555 views

    Humility is disdained by this world but the Kingdom of God and the citizens of Heaven are those who are contrite and humble. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves to see if we are prideful or humble. Hopefully this sermon helps us with that examination.

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have the congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 3,561 views

    Sometimes we need an analysis of how we view ourselves in order to determine if we are actually humble or not. This sermon contains an mini-quiz to that effect and also the testimony of John Piper in an article from 2010 where he was struggling with pride

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are not ...read more

     | 14,442 views

    Many times those who serve in obscurity are overlooked, but provide a tremendous impact to the body of Christ. We must encourage those who serve in the shadows to continue for the Lord.

    Series: Serving in the Shadows # 1 Being a Barnabas Acts 11: 19-26 Our text today speaks of a man, who although not obscure in the Scriptures, is often found serving in the shadows.

    Do Children Who Die Go To Heaven?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 16, 2016
     | 5,002 views

    The recent growth in Calvinistic doctrine & teaching on original sin has reignited the debate on whether children are guilty of sin & where they go if they die. This looks at that & gives 5 reasons why I believe they go to heaven.

    DO CHILDREN WHO DIE GO TO HEAVEN? Mt. 19:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. 2. Because of hectic schedules, it was ...read more

    God Chooses The Weak Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 5, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,462 views

    Jesus chose twelve ordinary men to proclaim His Gospel message. It was not the Pharisees, rabbis, priest or scribes that He chose but ordinary men. If Jesus chose the weak of this world to shame the strong don't be surprised when He comes calling you!

    Twelve Ordinary Men Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Even before the beginning of time the sovereign plan was for Jesus to be born, live amongst us and die for our sins (1 Peter 1:20).

    Like Paul, we all may feel that we are disqualified to this great and noble and wonderful task. Yet God has counted us worthy to be His witnesses in the world.

    Why Jesus Came 1 Timothy 1:12-17 I received this story by email this week: A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish.
