     | 1,484 views

    WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DEPRESSION? It could be because…

    Illus: A teacher said to her students, "Boys and girls, there is a wonderful example in the life of the ant. Every day the ant goes to work and works hard all day. And at the close of the day, what happens?" Little Johnny said, "SOMEONE STEPS ON HIM." Many folks can’t ...read more

    Three Don’ts When Everything Is Going Wrong

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 13, 2022
     | 3,152 views

    When things are going right for us, generally we all react basically the same way. We smile and enjoy the GOOD TIMES.

    When someone asks us how things are going, we smile and say, “GREAT!” How we are different from one another is often revealed not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the HARD TIMES! One thing we all seem to do during HARD TIMES is turn to our friends for some sound advice. Often what we get ...read more

    Why The Lord Withdraws

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,257 views

    Sometimes we can become prideful and overconfident in our own abilities, which is sin; and so, God will hide His face from us (Isaiah 59:2). The Lord will hide from us in order to gain our attention and cause us to cling to Him.

    One day a mother was out shopping with her son. Every time she took him shopping with her she couldn’t keep him by her side. As soon as she would turn her back, the boy would wander off somewhere, though keeping his mother in sight the entire time. She would then have to go and retrieve him. ...read more

    Our Inheritance In Jesus Alone Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 24, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,610 views

    What Paul is wanting the church in Ephesus to know - and for us to know as well - is that we have a wonderful and glorious identity in Christ. Unfortunately, there are many believers today that do not understand or live into their God-given birthright as adopted children of God.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD, USA www.mycrossway.org View this and other messages at: https://mycrossway.churchcenter.com/channels/8118 Today we’re in Ephesians Chapter 1, verses 11 through 14.

    God Values Human Life Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 11, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,589 views

    This message addresses the topic of abortion by looking at two key passages that reveal how God cherishes human life even before conception in the womb. It was written for "Sanctity of Life Sunday" back in 2003.

    On National Sanctity of Life Day in 2002, President George W. Bush made “A Proclamation.” Based on our country’s Declaration of Independence, he declared that Sanctity of Life is the belief “that every human being is endowed by our Creator with certain ‘unalienable rights’.”(1) He said that the ...read more

    When God Calls Your Name: Martha Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,024 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice. As I mentioned before, God calls plenty of people in the Bible often ...read more

    What Is Spirituality? (1 Of 7)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,228 views

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

    We are fooling ourselves when we think we are SPIRITUAL yet our TIME and MONEY reveals we are like the carnal people of this world who only care about cars, boats, campers, houses and clothes. The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more

    Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part Iv

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 1, 2022
     | 1,214 views

    These days we often hear the question, "Why are there so many divorces?" The answer to that question is found in the Word of God. It is because of sin.

    All across this nation we have lost our fear of sin. Fear will cause us to protect ourselves and avoid what is harmful to us. Illus: Most of us have a real healthy fear of snakes. This is a healthy fear because it keeps us from being harmed. If we were not afraid of snakes we might carry them ...read more

    Husbands, Love Your Wives Series

    Husband, if you’ll love the wife you have, you’ll may very well get the wife you want. It may take years of love and sacrifice to get there, but your sacrifice but will lead to your reward.

    Open your Bibles to Ephesians 5:25-27 with me. We continue our year-long study of Ephesians and our recent series on marriage. Someone recently asked a wife why she chose to marry an obnoxious man. She quickly surveyed the available men and said, “Supply chain issues.” I am not claiming to be an ...read more

    The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021
     | 2,039 views

    Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

    ABORTION – A POEM From the Baby's Perspective They don't know I can hear them, as they argue once again. My Mom and Dad are yelling, saying, 'what if it's a sin?' I hear my Father pacing, as he walks across the room, But, I am safe and cozy here inside my Mother's womb.

    Psalm 1 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 24, 2020
     | 6,256 views

    The first of the 150-psalm collection contained in the Old Testament book of Psalms, intended to follow "Introduction to Psalms" which is a sermon separate from the various psalms examined in the series.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

     | 3,657 views

    I first put this Lenten address together in 2008, and when the Vicar's wife said she found it good and thought it should go on "Sermoncentral" - so who was I to disagree. I offer this series as a help and it is based on Richard Foster's excellent book Prayer

    Introduction. This series on Prayer is based on Richard Foster’s BRILLIANT book simply called "Prayer". If you want to study Prayer seriously it is a book you must read.

    From the lesson of the victory that was fought and won by Moses' hands being held up by the aid of others, we learn three things we must remember about this spiritual war.

    In This War Introduction: I would like to leave you with a lesson this morning of what it will take to make this church victorious going forward. Having many members does not mean you have an effective church. Having an emotional experience does not mean that you have repented of your sin. In ...read more
