Danger! Quicksand Ahead! Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 6, 2012

We come to the question this morning, does the Bible speak to the topic of pornography? I read this week comments from one person defending the use of pornography in his life. He had several arguments; in fact he had a fair knowledge of scripture,

Danger! Quicksand Ahead! 1st Corinthians 6:13b-20 One of the things that has always amazed me about about the Bible is the ability of God’s word to speak to any need that we have. I understand of course that the Bible doesn’t tell us if we’re looking for car insurance whether ...read more

One Thing

Contributed by Stuart Blount on Sep 23, 2011

There are occasions to pause and ask ourselves about what is of most importance or prominence in our life, especially when our modern world asks so much and moves so fast. There are 16 times that the phrase, ONE THING, appears in scripture. Of those, th

How often have we heard the instruction given …..”One at a time please”? The teacher surrounded by inquisitive children with a question. The Mom surrounded by children hungry for their dinner. Doing one thing at a time is the opposite from juggling many tasks. Having simplicity ...read more

Boldness In Conversation Series

Contributed by James Parker on Mar 6, 2011

Today we are on the letter C and we will discuss being bold in our conversations. Our scripture is from acts 17 and it covers a couple of different legs of Paul's journey from Thessalonica to Athens. We see in both of these places Paul reasoning or disput

Our Spiritual Makeover

Contributed by Guy Glass on Sep 27, 2010

THE PASSAGE BEFORE US THIS MORNING IS ONE OF IDENTITY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, A NEW IDENTITY, AND ONE WE HAVE IN CHRIST. YET, OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST IS FAR MORE THAN A NEW NAME OR RESIDENCE. IT IS NEWNESS FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE SCRIPTURE TALKS OF THE FOL

All You Can Eat

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jul 12, 2010

We find this Old Testament writer in our Scripture Text this morning alluding to the importance of What We Eat Spiritually – he talks to us about the importance of the feeding process. It parallels an “All You Can Eat Buffet.”

Memorial Day 2007

Contributed by Dean Morgan on May 5, 2008

Do you wonder why the Spirit of God moved the writers of Scripture to include the names and exploits of the freedom fighters of Israel in this book? Could it be to give honor where honor is due? Could it be that He wanted you and me, many hundreds, even t

Working Your Faith Series

Contributed by Caleb Onwuka on Nov 25, 2014

How to make your faith effective; so that you won't be caught in the trap of unbelief. Your life can be full of the living experiences of God's Word. The scriptures will no longer become a story but a living testimony when you master the act of faith.

"That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." (Philemon 1:6). The Greek word for EFFECTUAL is ENERGEO: It means to be in active operation, to produce effects, or to be powerfully productive. That means your ...read more

From Death To Life Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 28, 2018

There's a repetitive theme in Scripture: heroes and heroines of the Bible seemingly all go through the process of being given a vision by God, followed by the death of that vision, and ultimately the rebirth of that vision. How did that pattern apply to Jesus and how does it apply to us?

Tithing For Believers - Under Grace Or Law?

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 25, 2024

Tithing can be a much misunderstood and often much abused subject as I have seen from so many televangelists. What is Biblical, New Testament tithing? An obligation under the Law or an act of grace? For me Scripture is clear. See if you agree.

TITHING FOR BELIEVERS - UNDER GRACE OR LAW? One favourite text for promoting tithing is: Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to ...read more

Sins And Mistakes Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

We are in a very unique portion of Scripture in this seventh chapter of I Cor. We are not dealing here with absolute issues of right and wrong. We are dealing with issues that are very complex, and where the question is not, what is right or wrong, but what is the best under the circumstances.

Bruce Larson in Dare To Live Now, tells of his experience as a new recruit during World War II. He sat down to his first breakfast in the mess hall, at Fort Benning, Georgia. He saw something in a large bowl that looked like cream of wheat. He scooped out a lot of it into his bowl, and ...read more

The Day Of The Lord

Contributed by Richard L. Brown on Oct 24, 2021

This sermon is about the end of time, The Day of the Lord. It looks at Eschatology from the point of a changing world and church and supplies scriptural evidence of the fair warning we are given. No preacher can ignore God’s call to prepare his flock for The Day of the Lord.

Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021

The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more

On The Cross: The Death Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 7, 2021

Part 1 of a 2 part series on the Death and Burial of Jesus. By integrating the gospels, we can easily see all of the details provided in all four gospels. This message is the crucifixion story in a logical order with nothing added to Scripture and nothing taken away.

Luke 23:26-34 As the chief priests led Jesus away to be crucified, they laid hold of Simon the Cyrenain. Simon, (the father of Alexander and Rufus - Mark 15:21), was coming out of the country. They laid the cross on him, so that he could carry it behind Jesus. A great company of people and women ...read more
