    Are we just going through the motions of being a Christian? Maybe you are sleep walking and you need awakened out of your sleep. Wake up mighty men and women and prepare for the battles that will come your way.

    Going Through The Motions Romans 8:31-37 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of ...read more

    Humility Series

     | 12,941 views

    Humility demonstrated by Jesus is the greatest act of selflessness of any ruler. As Tim Tebow says..."humility is not thinking less of yourself just thinking of yourself less. Jesus shows us how to leave our title, status and position behind.

    Humility Philippians 2:1-11 Can we express Christ’s majesty with just one word? This would be a most difficult exercise. For some of us we might choose the word “Love” or “Saviour” but for those who want to capture Christ’s majesty only one word does ...read more

His reply came from Deuteronomy 6.4ff and he linked Leviticus 19.18 (love neighbor to it) 3. There is a process called, "stringing pearls" ...read more

    As a Believer, Faith, not emotions overcomes the world. As a Believer, Faith, not rational thinking defines who we are. As a Believer, Faith, not rational thinking is the filter through which we see everything. You are a Believer!!

    Jesus walked on the earth over 2000 years ago. His Disciples walked with Him, watched Him closely, heard His voice. They were eyewitnesses to His miracles. Yet, even they had trouble taking in everything they were seeing. We are 2000 years removed from those moments. We have to decide whether we ...read more

    So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

    Contributed by Steven Cordle on Mar 28, 2025

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more
