    Your Response To The Word Of Christ Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021
     | 2,777 views

    How do you respond to the Word of Jesus? Is following Jesus an obedience-optional exercise for you? If it is, you stand to lose a great blessing--the freedom that only being a true follower of Jesus can provide.

    Last week I asked you a critical question: What must a person believe, in particular about Christ, to be sure of going to heaven The answer, of course, is that person must believe He is God, very God of very God, the God-Man. This morning I’m going to ask you another compelling question: What ...read more

    What The World Hates...

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023
     | 1,454 views

    How did we get to a point where there are those that sit in a church who don’t believe what is necessary to be saved, let alone what it is to be a true Christian? Well, this is a problem of leadership.

    I always try to make the distinction between what the Bible calls a church, and what we think a church is…the Bible speaks of the church as the collected body of true believers in Christ Jesus, while we think the church is a building like this and all the people contained within it. This I say so ...read more

    God said we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices or of Satan’s schemes, but how many can we name? This series of talks will explore a few dozen of them. When we know these schemes, we ought to take steps to combat them. Tares, division, sexual ruination looked at. firstly.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 1 [A]. INTRODUCTION Satan is the enemy who sneaks into the field freshly sown to plant his seeds of destruction. He is the pernicious master of the tares. In recent months, if you watched some of the footage from Israel on the cruelty, ...read more

    Every day we hear things from people and we have to decide if we believe them or not.

    Illus: I heard a very famous preacher one time say, (I want mention his name but if I did many of you would recognize his name immediately) He said this “I have never been discouraged a day of my life!” That statement shocked me when he said that because such men in the Bible as: • John the ...read more

    The Test Of Whether God Is Your Father Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 5, 2021
     | 1,644 views

    The religious leaders were proud of their heritage as children of Abraham, but that kept them from receiving what Jesus was offering. This message looks at the test of whether God or Satan is our father as well as four danger signs that we are heading in the wrong direction.

    THE TEST OF WHETHER GOD IS YOUR FATHER: The answer is found in what you do with Jesus. - John 8:42. - John 8:39b, 44. - Many focus on a generic God. - The teaching of the Kingdom is not a generic morality. - We each need to make a decision for or against Jesus. DANGER SIGNS: 1. Counting on ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the idea that in the United States (i.e., the land of the free) it is impossible to truly be free without the freedom that is granted us by Jesus Christ.

    If you have your Bibles and you want to follow along, today’s passage comes out of the book of John, chapter 8, starting at verse 31. We will get to it eventually, I promise. But we are going to start off with a little bit of an introduction. As most of you know if you have been here a while, ...read more

    Children Of The Devil

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,986 views

    Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

    Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 12, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,620 views

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    As we abide in God's Word, we experience blessings. What are those?

    “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, 'If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' They answered him, 'We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it ...read more

    In your life and studies of the scriptures, do you hear God? I mean, do you really hear God speaking to you or is the idea of hearing God an illusion?

    In your life and studies of the scriptures, do you hear God? I mean, do you really hear God speaking to you or is the idea of hearing God an illusion?

    Steve Brown talked about a man who asked a mail-order company to send plans for a birdhouse. Instead of sending him the plans for a birdhouse, they sent him plans for a sailboat. He tried to put it together, but it just wouldn't work. He couldn't figure what kind of bird was going to live ...read more

    4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 22, 2024
     | 989 views

    Most people who are enslaved know they are slaves. The girl who is abducted and taken into the worldwide human trafficking ring knows she’s a slave. You don’t have to tell her this. But there is a kind of slavery where people don’t fully realize they are enslaved.

    Today, I want to speak to you about “4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths” from the lips of Jesus Himself. These 4 truths are unpopular for many. They are likely to start a good argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Many of these, if not all of these, run against the current ...read more

    His Satanic Majesty, The Devil

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 24, 2025
     | 231 views

    This sermon will give us greater understanding of the one who wants to drag us to hell, the devil. We will come to know that Satan is the originator of lies, and the deceiver of mankind.

    Don’t let this title have you to believe that I am going to give a glowing report of the devil. No! It is more of a sarcastic title for one whom the bible calls the prince of the air, one who has a short reign to try and destroy as many of you as he can. So, this is my time to give you an ...read more
