Sermons on Judas Hanged Himself:

Christian Cleverness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The Apostle Paul in all of the trials of his final years never had a lawyer. Jesus was his heavenly advocate, but he represented himself before both Jewish and Gentiles judges. As his own lawyer he was able to outwit the Supreme Court of the Jews.

The first impeachment trial of a President of the United States began on March 30, 1868. The 54 Senators were at their desks in the Senate Chamber, and at the front was Chief Justice Salmen P. Chase of the Supreme Court, who would preside over the trial. The President himself was not there. He ...read more

The Zealot Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 8, 2022

Ordinarily a zealot like Simon would have killed a tax collector like Matthew - but he didn't. Why not?

OPEN: This morning I want to talk to you about the periodic table (we showed a periodic table on the screen). On this periodic table are two elements that I find intriguing. One of these is Sodium.

The Meaning Of "it Is Finished"

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 27, 2024

Jesus has finished everything for us. He sacrificed Himself so that we don't need to face punishment and we may have eternal life. When we accept Him, He would also love to transform our lives, to make our lives meaningful.

"Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had ...read more

In Defense Of Jesus (John 5:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 22, 2022

Jesus isn't a sinner, making himself equal to God. He's God's faithful son, doing just as his Father has shown him, doing the job the Father gave him to do.

I started this series by saying that everything in life depends on getting Jesus right. So far in the book of John, we've read about how Jesus is the lamb of God, the preexistent one, the savior of the world. He is also God. Now, how can Jesus be God, and the Father be God? Are there two ...read more

Are You Positioned For Revival?

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2020

The lame man, like many Christians today, didn't get his miracle in the agitated waters, because he didn't position himself close enough to the revival zone. If you want revival, you must get and stay as close as possible to the Holy Spirit.

ARE YOU POSITIONED FOR REVIVAL? John 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A professor gathered the papers after an exam and found a $100 bill attached to one of them with a note saying: "Dear Professor Smith, here’s a $100 bill which you may keep if you give me 100 points - a dollar per ...read more

This is an interactive service of dialog, Scripture and music focusing on the cross and on the fact that God sent Jesus for everyone of the people involved in that one 24 hour period that changed the world forever.

This is not so much a sermon but an entire service of dialog, Scripture and music all mixed together. It is of a limited "cast" due to the nature of broadcasting on FB Live.

I'm Not Perfect, But ... Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 21, 2003

We justify not being mature by claiming that we are just like everyone else, or that we are at least working on that goal. But our example is Jesus, who gathers up our incompleteness into Himself and shows us the way to mature.

When I first announced the title of this message, “I’m Not Perfect”, somebody was sharp enough to reply, “Yes, we’ve noticed, we’ve noticed.” Well, thanks a heap! Don’t you know by now that when I say something self-deprecating, you are supposed to shower me with compliments and bathe me in ...read more

Time Out, Time In Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2003

After vacation -- time out -- it would be ridiculous if there were no "time in", engagement. God calls us to full engagement with Himself, which in turn calls us to live in newness and not in old habits. There is no time for anything that is not a serio

There are certain intense situations in which the best answer, maybe the only answer, is to take a “time out”. Time out, to get perspective; time out, to get emotions under control; time out to back off and take a better look. There are certain serious situations in which your instincts tell you ...read more

Peace And Faith Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 16, 2007

The greatest detriment to faith is not doubt but fear. When Jesus reveals himself to his dsiciples on Easter evening he gives them peace to free them from their fear. Jesus works the same way in our lives.

John 20:19-31 “Peace and Faith” INTRODUCTION If you were in charge of guarding “faith”; keeping it safe from anything that would harm it, what would you be most vigilant against? • Some people would guard against affluence. We know that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a ...read more

From The Winepress Into Victory

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Aug 9, 2006

In the midst of impossible odds God breaks into our lives and our situations to declare himself as God! Gideon is a great example for us in the Old covenant of one who went from the winepress of circumstances and into worship that leads to victory

From the winepress and into victory! Judges 6 to 8 When I was a Dairy Farmer and up before dawn, I can testify to the fact that the darkest hour is just before dawn.

Seeing God Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 25, 2008

Have you ever wished that God would show Himself to you? Did you know that He already has? We’ll see that in our passage today as we look at the prologue to John’s gospel.

Do you ever wonder what it must be like to see God? I’ve heard it said that for us to try to see God in His fullness and completely describe Him would be like a germ trying to describe the universe. In and of Himself, God is completely incomprehensible to man. In His eternal three-in-one ...read more
