    The Crushing Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2014
     | 22,030 views

    I’ve never had major surgery, but I’ve been told many times by patients that the worst part of major surgery was waiting for it. It’s the dread that is often worse than the experience itself. Just imagine the dread Jesus experienced that night.

    INTRODUCTION Easter is four weeks away. During this time, I’m tracing the last 94 hours before the disciples discovered the empty tomb. The countdown started with the Last Supper when Jesus gathered with His disciples for the Passover meal. After spending about four hours at this meal, Jesus ...read more

    As we get ready for the Lord's Table, we must prepare ourselves, because hard times are ahead. Even so, we can be grateful.

    Several years ago, in a small-town church in upstate New York, a well-loved pastor who had been there for 35 years retired. He was replaced by a young pastor just starting out in ministry. The young man had a great desire to do well, but after just a few weeks he began to perceive that the people ...read more

    My Friend Jesus

    Contributed by C. Scott Ghan on Dec 30, 2013
     | 8,970 views

    I've tried to describe the believers relationship with Jesus in testimony style. "Let me tell you about my fiend Jesus...Let me tell you what He has done for me..."

    I started with Chris Jordan's sermon: i-Pray #3: What a Friend we Have in Jesus. Scripture is the same, maybe a phrase here and there, more so at the beginning. But this is a different sermon. TITLE: My Friend Jesus 12-30-2013 TEXT: Romans 5:8-11 8 But God showed his great love for us by ...read more

    Do Science And Faith Conflict? Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 9, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,446 views

    Science and faith do not have to be in conflict with each other. When there is conflict, it is either because of bad science or bad religion, or both.

    A. How many of you enjoy learning about science? Was science your favorite subject in school? B. I like the story told about a teacher who was giving her second-grade students a lesson in science. 1. She explained all about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other pieces of ...read more

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,812 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    The Feast Of Pentecost Or Weeks Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 15, 2005
    based on 35 ratings
     | 13,825 views

    Pentecost foreshadows the truth that during the church age, a new phase in God’s program has emerged: Jewish and Gentile believers are united in one body through the Holy Spirit -- and God uses them to labor for a harvest of people.

    Pentecost or Weeks (Shavuot) (Leviticus 23:15-23) 1. Many Christians are surprised to find out that Pentecost is a Jewish Old Testament holiday. 2. A Jewish man was confronting a Christian man: “You know, you people borrowed the 10 Commandments from us.” 3. “Well,” responded the Christian, “we ...read more

    More Than Mary's Little Lamb

    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,841 views

    Since Jesus is more than the Virgin Mary’s little lamb we will look to him for forgiveness and we will point others to him.

    “Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb his fleece was white as…snow.” Did anyone have trouble finishing that nursery rhyme? Even the youngest ones here know how that rhyme goes. What you probably don’t know, however, is the history of that verse. One source said ...read more

    I kinda use the Kenny Roger’s song "You Can’t Outrun the Long Arm of the Law" and compare it to Psalm 7...thus the title, "You can’t outrun the Long Arm of the Lord!!

    Taken from Hosea 7, we find that God compares spiritual decline to the gray hairs of decay.
