"Tough To Forgive"

Contributed by Brad Henry on Sep 26, 2011

If you are having a tough time forgiving someone this sermon may be just for you.

Seven Times Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

Naaman was commanded to dip in the Jordan River seven times. He finally did and was healed of his leprosy. But beforehand, he put up quite a fight. His preconceptions about how God works, and his pride, both got in the way.

Many years ago, I attended Shoutfest, which is a Christian music festival held in Somerset, Kentucky; and I heard a new band perform called “Seven Times Down,” which I thought was really good. The band got its name from the passage of Scripture that we’re going to look at this morning. I liked ...read more

Living in a godly and wise manner is not just about us; it glorifies God and brings a wealth of benefits to others. Living to honor God is really about loving God and loving others, and Jehoshaphat excelled at doing just that – most of the time.

Jumping Jehoshaphat? (2 Chronicles 17-20) Note: The promises of blessings for obedience in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 were probably seen more during the time of Jehoshaphat than any other king. You might want to have a Scripture reading from this Deuteronomy passage as a complement to the ...read more

Demands Of Discipleship

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008

Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

It is possible to be a follower of Jesus without being a disciple; to be a camp follower without being a soldier of the king; to be a hanger-on in some great work without pulling one’s weight. Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more
