But If Not

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Dec 5, 2008

I want to begin by stating a well known fact...life is full of problems. In fact, Peter calls them fiery ordeals, which is something that I can personally relate to, as many of you can.

Rest In Peace

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Dec 17, 2009

Many people think that you have to be dead to get rest, yet the Bible clearly states that we can and should have peace in our lives. In fact it should be something that defines us and separates us...

The Latin phrase "Requiescat in pace" is a short epitaph that typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated "RIP" which is then often given in English as Rest in peace. The expression means "may he / she rest in peace". Rest in peace probably sounds like a pretty nice idea to most of you here ...read more

Make Us A King To Judge Us

Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011

There is a very popular saying that states, “those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it,” and this is the theme that we will explore today. Today we are going to learn a very valuable lesson from a terrible decision.

As I have said on numerous occasions, no one is perfect. The truth is that all of us make mistakes, and are guilty of making decisions based on impulse. In other words, we allow ourselves to be led by our feelings, and the worst part is that we allow ourselves to be led by the things of this ...read more

This Is How We Blew It

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jun 4, 2008

I preached this sermon while filling the pulpit of a church seeking a pastor. It (the sermon) discusses how the Body of Christ is responsible for the state of our nation, but from a different angle than one might expect.

This is How We Blew It Texts: Luke 18:8; 2nd Cor. 13:5; James 2:14-26 (and others) By: Kenny McKinley (Read Texts and open with prayer and thanksgiving) As I was praying and considering what to preach here today, I considered the fact that I was going to be in a church where I didn’t know any of ...read more

Expectation Series

Contributed by Mac Hammond on Sep 9, 2011

It’s important we understand the role that our expectation has as it relates to becoming content in whatsoever state we’re in, gracefully waiting until the Lord’s Word is performed in our lives.

A. This is the fifth installment of our ongoing series entitled “Graceful Waiting.” We’ve been talking about how the unfolding will and blessing of God doesn’t happen instantaneously; it takes place through a process of time, and therefore, we must learn how to be content while we wait on the Lord. ...read more

The Peace Within You

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Dec 1, 2011

This Advent let your search for peace bring you to Jesus. Apply Him to your heart and let the peace of God which surpasses all understanding leave you in a state of Grace rather than disgrace.

The “Peace” within you John 14:27-31 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 28 "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad ...read more

Life's Short Stay Awake (The Parable Of The Serving Master)

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Aug 4, 2016

The translation we heard states that the servants are waiting for the master a better translation describes servants who are expecting the master.Waiting is passive, much like waiting for a bus or a cab. Expecting denotes excitement, energy, enthusiasm.

Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015

As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

JESUS: First, Last, and Best 1. Introduction There was a man named Muhammad. And there was a man named Jesus Christ. These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more

Empty Philosophies Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 22, 2017

Paul states explicitly here that there are philosophies that sound logical and reasonable but are simply wrong, and take us away from the Good News of Jesus. Logic and philosophy are good, but they can only take us so far.

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. Paul considered how Jesus makes the Christian faith different from all others. I hinted at the ...read more

The Way

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 31, 2017

The human race lost its way in the garden of Eden, and for thousands of years a return to the garden was prevented by the flaming sword. But at the proper time, Jesus knocked down the barrier of sin and made a way to return to the state of blessedness.
