    We examine Christ’s command to give up everything... even if that includes our home.

    We all know the motto of New York City. It is on every single T-shirt in the city. I HEART NY. And since then, there have been about a million people who have stolen this idea and design. Everything from God to monkeys. If somebody loves it, there is probably a shirt that says I HEART ...read more

    The Purpose of this sermon is to affirm to others that although some Soldiers/Officers are willing to pass-up their right to salvation; there are some that are willing to take their shoes off for the Lord.

    The Blood Of Christ

     | 6,507 views

    It seems that in the church today we hear less and less about the blood of Christ, why it was necessary for Him to die and what it means to our eternal destiny.

    This past Thursday was the Fourth of July, Independence Day in the old US of A! Fireworks! Parades! A National Holiday! Independence from the will and domination of an earthly king! But, what was the price of this freedom. The lives of countless people. The shedding of blood for the cause of ...read more

    To show that our hands (through, in and by the LORD JESUS) was laid on the Offering: JESUS CHRIST and the LORD JESUS CHRIST blood sprinkled in our hearts.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you an offering? Yes. A living sacrifice before the LORD.

    Fire And Knife

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Nov 19, 2020
     | 3,166 views

    FIRE burns out all the impurities in our life, and the knife chops out all the thoughts of ‘flesh’ in us. The challenges, afflictions and sufferings in our life are the FIRE that purifies us

    FIRE AND KNIFE! Genesis 22:6 “Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.” The opening words “Now it came about after these things”, takes us back into the previous chapter where ...read more

    This sermon is about the uncomprehensible faith that could even sacrifice, or be willing to sacrifice a son.

    I. What if God had said? C. Maye, take your son Bob to Lover’s Leap and offer him there as a burnt sacrifice.

    Sermon # 3 - Shadow Versus The Truth Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 28, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 206 views

    In the Old Testament there were shadows of things that were fulfilled only through Christ in the New Testament. As we live in a world where truth is overshadowed by falsehood, let us hold firmly to God and His word so we can walk and live by the truth.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV) The above mentioned verse ...read more

    Thanks-Living Pt 1

    Contributed by Chris Mccall on Nov 21, 2012
     | 3,640 views

    A living sacrifice is different from all other sacrifice. A regular sacrifice would require something to die. Paul is appealing to us to offer this sacrifice that would continue to be very much alive, but surrendered or dedicated to the service of God.

    We find the Apostle Paul appealing to all those who have experienced the mercy, love, & goodness of God. It is kind of like the “give-back program” because of all that has been done already for us. I want us to consider, during this holiday season of Thanksgiving, the idea Paul is ...read more

    This sermon is the third in a Lenten series and deals with denial, one of the key words in the experiance of Jesus in the final week of his life.

    A little boy kept falling out of bed, but no matter what his parents tried, each night he rolled out of bed. An visiting uncle teased the boy and asked “How do you keep falling out of bed”. The little boy thought a minute and then said ”I don’t know, unless I stay too close to where I got in”. ...read more

    Is the Lenten season Biblical or does it spring from church tradition? Is it good, neutral or harmful? Just trying to answer these questions ....

    Traditions... Body Bags: Israel's major airline, El Al, recently rejected a plea by ultra-orthodox Jews with a priestly heritage to fly inside body bags. Why would someone want to do this?
