Sermons on Judgement Of Self:

The Spirit Of Fear

Contributed by Brian Harrell on Dec 19, 2019

We all deal with fear on some level. We must take on fear directly in the name of Jesus. Based on 2 Tim. 1:5-7. No more cowering to fear.

I love going to Summersville Lake. One of the highlights of the lake is all of the rocky ledges that you can climb up on and then jump into the water. The two or three footers are pretty easy. The eight footers will give you a pause before you take the leap. But it was when several of us climbed up ...read more

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 25, 2016

Last week I shared about what love had to do with overcoming fear. Today my focus will be on what love has to do with overcoming unforgiveness. We've all struggled with this one. Overcoming being hurt by someone can be difficult. Forgiveness takes love.

Called By God Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jan 6, 2018

Ephesians 3:1-6 teaches us that God calls a Christian to die to self and to live for others.

Scripture Today I am starting a new series on Ephesians 3 that I am calling, "Proclaiming the Unsearchable Riches of Christ." The ESV Study Bible notes: "There are two main themes of Ephesians: (1) Christ has reconciled all creation to himself and to God, and (2) Christ has united people from all ...read more

Surrendered To The Savior Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 3, 2018

Jesus offered a convicting mandate - take up your cross and follow me! In that culture the cross was not westernized like it is in our culture as a fashion statement. It meant death.

Surrendered to the Savior Mark 8: 34-38 For the past few weeks we have discussed some intense conversation between Jesus and the disciples. He had questioned them regarding His deity and their acceptance of Him as the Christ. While others had a skewed perception of Christ, Peter boldly, and ...read more

Men Of Honor Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 9, 2016

Real respect comes not in the palace, but in the place of selfless, sacrificial service.

Babel

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 29, 2013

The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

(The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

Dumb Dogs Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013

Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

“This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience.

Do Everything Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 24, 2020

We all struggle with a "dual nature." We sort of like Bannon/The Hulk from the movies and comic books. It doesn't take much to move us away from Christ-likeness to self-interest and rebellion.
