Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Oct 7, 2019

This is the 26th sermon in a series we're doing on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at the dividing line between Christians and the rest of the world, and how the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman are distinguished.

What's So Great About Being A Christian (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 5, 2018

I spent the last couple of weeks talking about how God and Jesus are the real thing. And with that comes the truth that real is better than counterfeit. But why is it better? What is so great about being a Christian?

True Freedom By Pastor John Mateos Ong

Contributed by John Ong on Jan 15, 2018

True freedom is when we realize that we are free because we are freed by the Lord.

There are two definitions of the word FREE, one means having no price and the other one means freedom. So if we think about it, what does being free really mean? What does true freedom really mean? There are times when some of us feels like we are not truly free, like we are still forbidden to do ...read more

Christianity Is Not Unique

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 24, 2019

Christianity, in many ways, is not all that different than other religions and faith traditions. In fact, there is really only one thing about Christianity that is unique.

I’m going to begin this morning with a familiar text: "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." Sound good? That, of course is . . . a well-known saying of Confucius, a Chinese wise man who lived in the 5th and 6th century B.C. "What you do not wish for yourself, ...read more

Your Response To The Word Of Christ Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

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

Hearing God

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jul 29, 2023

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? Often we forget, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24. Therefore, to hear God, which Jesus ...read more

Man's Enslavement To Sin Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023

Prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others are bad qualities that separate us from God. If we have any of these bad qualities, then we are not abiding in God’s Word.

Jesus is talking with the Pharisees. He has just said in v. 32 – “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” We ended last time talking about how we are bound by our sins. We talked specifically about prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others. And we said that if we ...read more

I Am! Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Sep 8, 2023

Jesus is light—trust Him to guide you. Jesus is life—trust Him to free you. Jesus Lord—trust Him to rule you. It’s the only way your life will make any sense.

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

Son Sets You Free Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 5, 2022

True freedom does not consist in the word “freedom,” but in relationship to Jesus Christ, through abiding in His Word, and being His disciple. We will meditate from this passage on three realities. Admit who you are, admire who Jesus is, and advocate what Jesus does.

Text: John 8:31-41 Theme: Son Sets You Free Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. For the first time, John puts the word freedom for salvation. But the teaching on freedom offended Jesus’ hearers, they thought they have always enjoyed freedom though they lived under Roman ...read more

The Pattern Of Freedom Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 23, 2022

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

Peacemakers Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 24, 2023

"Blessed are the peacemakers." Our concept of peacemaking must be based on scriptural revelation. Biblical peacemaking is not appeasement. We know that from God's example of making peace. What is biblical peacemaking and how is it rewarded?

Intro We come today to the 7th Beatitude found in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.”i We are approaching the pinnacle of this list of attributes that bring blessing on a person’s life. Everybody wants to be blessed. But not everybody is willing to take ...read more

Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

God’s True Light Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Nov 16, 2022

Let the truth of the true light set you free. Living in lies, living in darkness is no way to live. In fact, it's not living at all. The freedom of the true light is the freedom from sin.

I wonder if you have the same problem that I have. I'm not talking about falling asleep when you're supposed to take out the trash, but rather not being able to find a working flashlight when you need one. This is a common problem, you know. I have a tote in the garage, so right when I need ...read more
