The Ugly, The Bad, And The Good

Contributed by Joseph Ng on Feb 26, 2001

God’s verdict on the lives of Solomon, Ahab, and Hezekiah is different from that of secular history and is what matters ultimately.

Opening: You’ve heard of the 1966 Western movie starring Clint Eastwood entitled The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. As we consider the lives of kings in the Old Testament, it will be apparent that some are ugly, bad, or good. In particular, the lives of three Hebrew kings--Solomon, Ahab, and ...read more

Apodidomi

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 19, 2023

Jesus teaches a lesson of "rendering" or "giving back" to both our Country (as good citizens) and the Kingdom of God (as good stewards). May we give ourselves fully to God.

WE AGREE WITH PSALM 47:7, THAT “THE LORD IS KING OVER ALL THE EARTH.” WE MAY SHOW RESPECT TO EARTHLY TITLES SUCH AS PRESIDENT, KING, SULTAN, EMIR, SHAH, OR CHANCELLOR, BUT OUR TRUE ALLEGIANCE IS TO GOD AND HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM.

A Taxing Question

Contributed by Kory Wilcoxson on Feb 19, 2005

A stewardship sermon Jesus’ words on paying taxes to Caesar

The Man In The Middle Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 2, 2019

Jesus endured much as He was crucified on Golgotha. He was beaten, humiliated, mocked, and blasphemed. He endured all of that for you and me. He took our place on the cross. I am thankful for the Man in the middle.

The Man in the Middle Mark 15: 22-32 Today we begin the most sobering and somber section of Mark’s gospel, dealing with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ our Lord. I am well aware that this was God’s plan for our redemption. I am thankful for the cross and the willingness of our Lord to take our ...read more

Peter's Second Conversion Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

I want you to watch for two conversions in our story today – a conversion for both Cornelius and for Peter. Each man had a powerful turning point and each man had a powerful story they would tell around campfires for years to come.

Acts 10:27-47 is read before the sermon. There’s a powerful story tucked away in the middle chapters of Acts. Our story tantalizes us with angels & visions but at it’s essence it is the story about our 2 main characters to today’s story, Cornelius & Peter. Cornelius represents the power ...read more
