    Today I want to preach on something that some seem to think is not that important….BUT IT IS! It affects our life everyday.

    I want to preach to you about compassion. We miss compassion when we do not have it and we admire it when we see it. Illus: A pastor wrote, "I was in Time’s Square, in New York, during rush hour. Thousands of people were thronging and pushing at the corner, ready to cross at the ...read more

    It never ceases to amaze me that when people start coming to Sunday School they talk about how much they learn from the Bible.

    Illus: A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. • After explaining the commandment to, "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" • Without ...read more

    • "What are you thinking?" • "Do you love me?" • "Do I look fat?" • "Do you think she is prettier than me?" • "What would you do if I died?" Each of these questions, when answered incorrectly, lead to an argument or divorce. Men must think ...read more

    1 Timothy 4:1-5 shows us several features of false teachers.

    Scripture In his First Letter to Timothy, Paul concluded chapter 3 with a description of the church as “a pillar and buttress of the truth” (3:15) and a summary of that truth in relation to Christ (3:16). Chapter 4 opens with a discussion of false teachers. Let us read 1 Timothy 4:1-5: 1 Now the ...read more

    We live in a nation where respect and honor are not top priorities. For example, respect for the elderly is something today that is missing in our society.

    . We see a lot of rudeness, and much of it is directed toward the elderly. Illus: Did you hear about the grandmother that was going to ride a bus downtown with her grandson? She got on the bus, and the bus driver was very rude to her. As she got on the bus with her grandchild, the bus driver ...read more

    The event that is so much a part of this day, Palm Sunday, is recorded in all 4 of the Gospels, but this morning I’m going to use pictures from FreeBibleImages.com while I‘m reading Luke's account, found in Luke 19:28-40.

    Fifth Commandment (5 Of 12)

     | 1,747 views

    Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

    Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws. Some people today feel these laws are now archaic. Illus:Those who feel that we are past the age ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Judge And The Persistent Widow

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 2,586 views

    Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't.

    And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear. The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear ...read more

    The Why Of Easter (Romans5:1-11) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Apr 17, 2022
     | 2,692 views

    The Gospels tell us the "what" of Easter. Movies like "The Passion" tell us the "how." But in Romans 5, the Apostle Paul tells us the why.

    Happy Easter! He is Risen, He has risen indeed. If you have your Bibles, please turn to Romans 5. You might be a little surprised to be back in Romans, but a kind of weird thing happened. I went back to Romans this week because I wanted to get a jump on next week’s sermon, since I’m going to be ...read more

    David speaks of singing a "New Song." What does that mean, and what difference can singing songs about Jesus make in our lives?

    There are times we hear when someone is in prison for life but because of forensics they are released.

    The development of DNA testing and the ability to use the science of the body’s cells to solve crimes has made significant changes in the criminal justice field. Forensic is a wonderful thing, only God knows how many ennocent men who have died for something they did not do. But I want to show you ...read more

    Holding On To My Faith Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Gregory Newhouse on Jan 13, 2022
     | 3,517 views

    We get weary sometimes in waiting for the promises of God to materialize. Our faith must have the right direction, because the results of our faith will always be determined by the direction of our faith.

    Intro: So far in the last two weeks we have talked about the importance of our faith. We started our study back in Romans chapter 4 dealing with one of the most incredible examples of faith, Abraham. While looking at him we discovered in week 1 that our faith must have duration, because we get ...read more

    He is a miracle working God

    Today, I want to take a look at the life of a man that was radically changed by the power of God. But most importantly I want to look at his faith and his reaction to Jesus. As the story open up, we see that this was a man that was paralyzed. He had never known what it was to walk. What he had ...read more
