The Scrooge In All Of Us

Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 17, 2007

I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger. The angels we have heard on high. You might feel that you are familiar with the story that you ...read more

Please Restore Us! Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 15, 2016

God’s people are vulnerable, and sometimes they foolishly become sidetracked. The Psalmist seeks to plead his case by bringing up God’s special relationship to his people.

Please Restore Us! (Psalm 80) 1. When our kids were at home, we had a plastic swimming pool in the back yard. 2. One day, we went to the park and caught crayfish.

God Chooses Us Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

God, as the ultimate authority, has chosen us as His special possession, and we should allow Him to shape us and choose Him back, despite not always understanding His decisions.

Revive Us Again Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2021

There is nothing more powerful in sparking revival than a visitation from God! An outpouring of the Holy Spirit is born out of a season of prayer and repentance after having experienced some form of hardship or depraved condition.

In 1863, the Scottish medical doctor William P. Mackey wrote a song entitled, “Revive Us Again.” Some of the lyrics of this well-known hymn declare, “Revive us again! Fill each heart with thy love. May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Hallelujah! ...read more

Just Like Us!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 2, 2002

Now one of the disturbing parts of the story to us is that He didn't give the servants the same amount. He gave 5 to one & 2 to another & 1 to another. We may think that is not fair.

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) A. If you were to ask me, "What is the most famous parable that Jesus ever told?" I would answer that it is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. When parables are mentioned we often think first of that parable ...read more

Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024

For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

Lead Us Not Into Temptation

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2008

God is not the author of evil. God does not induce anyone to participate in that which is sinful and destructive. When God places some burden upon us, he does so to bring out the good rather than the bad. When Satan places some burden on us or some obs

Let us Not into Temptation Matthew 6:13 Intro To even begin to understand this particular petition the Lord included in the model prayer, we must recognize that there is a difference between the temptation that is initiated by Satan and the test to which God puts us.
