Sermons on James Dobson:

Not By Might But By My Spirit

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 8, 2025

This sermon proclaims that God’s work in rebuilding His temple—and in strengthening His people today—is never accomplished by human effort but solely by the empowering, obstacle-flattening, hope-renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

Not by Might but by My Spirit Zechariah 4:1-9 Let’s begin with the remarkable story of how God’s people — weary from exile yet renewed by hope — rebuilt the house of the Lord. Because of their idolatry, moral corruption, and rejection of God’s prophets, the nation of Judah fell to ...read more

The Sin That Wants God

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025

Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more

From The Unknown To The Known God

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 15, 2025

Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!

How do we, as Christ’s ambassadors, engage a modern culture with wisdom, courage, and gentleness—so that the gospel is not just another opinion in the noise, but a message carried on “beautiful feet” bringing good news? Everywhere we look, the signs of moral fracture are ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 6, 2025

The God of deliverance keeps His sheep so none is lost; not one bone broken. Delivered through death to the presence of the Lord. Also we look at degrees of punishment and how it stands in judgement for the wicked. We must reach out to the lost, more than condemn them.
