Switching Drivers - Hitchhiker 3 Series

Contributed by Spencer Homan on Nov 19, 2009

This is the third week of our "Hitchhiker" sermon series. When we become overwhelmed... sometimes the best response to give control over to someone who has the power to do something about it! It’s time to give control over to God.

Jonah 3:1 - 4:1 NIV Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: 2 "Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you." 3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh.

What Jesus Knew

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on May 11, 2010

He’s telling you not to be surprised “if the world hates you”, and then he’s telling you why it hates you. It’s precisely because “we love our brothers.”

In preparing the sermon for today, a singular thought pressed on me repeatedly. We read the stories of Jesus. We recite the Creeds of Christendom, and we share the understanding that Jesus was fully God and fully man . . . the divine paradox. But how often are we really willing to make the ...read more

Wise As Serpents

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Apr 30, 2012

Jesus challenged us to be as wise as serpents. In this message we will learn from the attacks on the Jews in the book of Nehemiah, and use it as inspiration to aggressively go after the lost.

Wise as Serpents In our messages so far in the book of Nehemiah we have been talking about the building of walls to keep the enemy out. Today we are going to switch places with the enemy and talk about how to take down walls or overcome them. I think we can learn some things from the enemy of our ...read more

But Lord!

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Jan 3, 2011

Psalm 13 helps us to learn how to communicate with God on the deepest level. God is big enough to handle our tough questions. And He loves it when we talk to Him honestly.

Communication between people takes place at three levels: the frivolous level, the factual level, and the feeling level. Frivolous communication takes place on the surface with the use of innocuous questions and casual clichés. How are you doing? Looks like it going to rain today? What do you do ...read more

The Prodigal Son Part Two Series

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Oct 15, 2014

We almost always condemn the actions of the prodigal son, but what about the older son that stayed and had a fit that his father would welcome back his wayward brother. What does God have to say about that?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Feb 13, 2021
