The Lord Of Life And Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

Jesus said with His tears that He approved of that kind of sorrow. There is a valid place for tears in the Christian life. We need never fear nor be ashamed of the tears of the hopeful.

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

And if Jesus can raise Lazarus from the dead, anything is possible.

Today, we are going to read through a great story. For the most part today, I'm going to keep my hands off of it, and just let it speak for itself. [It's also a big story, and I have to fly higher to grab it in one week]. John 11:1: (1) Now, there was a certain sick one, Lazarus from ...read more

Power Evangelism Explained (John 11:1-54, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 21, 2022

How did Jesus do his signs, and how were the disciples able to do the signs? And what can we learn from this?

The last few weeks, I've been pushing the idea that God will still do signs, and wonders, and healings through us, as Jesus works in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit. I think God is far more willing to do great things in the world through us than we realize. I think the weakness, and ...read more

Three Marks Of True Disciples (John 11:55-12:11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 22, 2022

Martha, Lazarus, and Mary each model a discipleship verb. Together, they paint a picture of a true disciple.

Two weeks ago, everything changed in the gospel of John. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, in the full sight of a large group of Judeans. And when the Judeans saw this, "many" gave their allegiance to Jesus. In an instant, they moved from being stubborn, and hard-hearted, and ...read more

Funeral Service #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022

This Funeral Message is suitable for a man/woman who got saved late in life. Perhaps a man or woman who was saved by the grace of God, but didn’t have a lot of time to grow in the grace of God and mature.

Many of us can remember a time in our life, when on a dark night, we stood outside and looked up into the sky, and saw literally millions of stars. They were beautiful; they looked like diamonds on black velvet. But today, many of us live in the city, and because of the many bright lights we are ...read more

Funeral Service #2 (This Is A Sermon For A Christian Man Or Woman)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 1, 2022

There are many advantages of living in a small community. One of the things you will notice immediately is how friendly people are, and how much they care for each other.

For example, if you drive through the mountains of North Carolina on some of the old dirt roads where neighbors live five and ten miles apart, you will notice that the people in the yard will stop what they are doing when you drive by, smile, and wave at you. That is so different from people who ...read more

Removing The Hindrances

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Christians will pray for those who are lost in sin, but they usually do nothing more than pray. They are either afraid, or they don’t want to make an effort. Jesus had those who prayed unto Him take an active role in assisting Lazarus.

In Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus gave His disciples and all believers the Great Commission, in which He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you.” The ...read more

How We Love His Promise Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Mar 3, 2022

He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves problems. But in our experience, there have been times when we weren’t sure about these things. Have you ever wondered, when things go wrong in life, if you can count on God?

How We Love His Promise John 11:17-44 Introduction Adrian Rogers said, “There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve.” That is a great expression of the life of faith in God. He keeps his promises, He answers prayers, he solves ...read more

The Depths Of Despair

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

This message looks at some Bible passages on the cave of despair. How do people tend to act when they find themselves in such a dark place? What do we need to do, in order for God to deliver us into a place of hope and life?

I want to get us started with our message this morning by sharing an illustration that I’ve used on numerous occasions: Back when I was in college, I used to go cave exploring with a friend as often as possible. Sometimes we went about twice a week. Well, one evening we followed a lead for a new ...read more

Real Men Do Cry

Contributed by Paul Green on Mar 13, 2022

The Apostle Paul is renowned for being a woman-hating, doctrine-making, emotionless, rock hard, ice cold; Gospel preaching machine, but in reality he was a man who was never very far away from a good cry for the sake of the Gospel.

In our reading this morning the Apostle Paul is writing to the church he had planted in Philippi and he says, ‘Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now ...read more
