Sermons on It Is The Lord:

A Thankful Eucharist

Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016

When we come to the Lord's Table to receive that which the Lord Jesus commanded Believers to do, we must come repenting. When one comes honestly and eagerly repenting of ALL their sin, they become THANKFUL for God's atonement, grace, and forgiveness.

A Thankful Eucharist (Colossians 3:1-11; NKJV) To title this sermon A Thankful Eucharist is risking redundancy. In the ancient Greek (eucharistia) the word eucharist literally means "gratefulness, thankfulness." To understand a bit about the Biblical command of the Lord’s Supper is to ...read more

The Prayer Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 27, 2017

The Our Father in Matthew 6 is typically referred to as the Lord's Prayer. But really, John 17 is what should be called the Lord's Prayer because it literally is the prayer of Jesus. Jesus' longest recorded prayer has much to say and there's much to gain.

THE PRAYER OF JESUS John 17:1-26 INTRODUCTION: The Our Father of Matthew 6:9-13 is typically referred to as the Lord's Prayer. But really, it is the disciple's prayer given to them by the Lord.

Committed To Finishing Well

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 30, 2018

Paul found himself within a Roman prison, but he refused to be defeated. Although confined and isolated, he desired to continue for the Lord. As long as he lived, he wanted to be useful for the Lord. He refused to allow circumstances to dictate his life.

Committed to Finishing Well Philippians 3: 13-14 Most will agree that living the Christian life can be difficult, especially in today’s environment and rapidly changing culture.

What Is Our Purpose? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If we do not know the Lord’s purpose as a church, then we can’t plan for success; and thus, we will see no results in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. This passage shows the five purposes (five E-words) designed for every church.

This morning, I want us to think about our purpose. The word “purpose” is defined as, “the reason for which something exists or is done,” and “an intended or desired result.”(1) Based on the definition of the word “purpose,” we can see how we need to consider the reason why we do certain things, ...read more

"the Days Of Noah"

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Oct 24, 2022

The one great prophecy of the New Testament is the second coming of Christ in judgment. Matthew 24 is one of the lengthiest passages in the New Testament on the subject of the Lord’s coming. Matthew 24:36-39 uses Noah and his family as an illustration of that event.

Walk In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2023

We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more

Caleb, The Wholehearted Dreamer

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 6, 2021

Wholly following the Lord can be boiled down to three words. Trust and obey. Others in the Bible did that, but only Joshua and Caleb are immortalized for it. They are the example to follow. Any of us can wholly follow the Lord. All of us should.

Introduction: If you describe someone as a dreamer, you might mean that they spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for things that they would like to happen, but which are improbable or impractical in their own strength. Caleb was dreamer who was connected to a dream making God. God ...read more

The Gift Of Grace

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 25, 2024

Within one body, there are many individual members with specific and unique gifts. Our diversity does not create division or discord; in fact, it adds to the beauty and harmony of the whole. Such diversity within the body is within the Lord’s sovereign design for His church.

The Gift of Grace Ephesians 4: 7-11 As we come to the text today, we must bear in mind the preceding verses. Paul has spoken at length regarding our unity in the Lord. We have been called to walk worthy of our calling, serving and loving one another, while endeavoring to keep the unity of the ...read more

Grace Abounding! Series

This Is How I Fight My Battles!

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 17, 2024

Last week I challenged you to consider how you prepare yourself for worship before you enter the Lord’s house and His presence. Crystal closed out the message with a prayer that we worship everyday, not just on Sunday’s!

Today’s word is about worship. I looked back at all my sermons since 2020 and strangely enough, not a single one was on the topic of worship. So I am rectifying that today! The title of today’s message is “This is how I fight my battles”. We will examine 4 passages, 3 of which are centered around ...read more
