     | 3,073 views

    Notice these words in our text, “Speak Lord…thy servant heareth.”

    There is a commercial on television by the Verizon phone company, where a man walks around with a cell phone in a large city, and he repeatedly says, “Can you hear me now?” The purpose of the commercial is to show us that if you have this particular cell phone you can hear from anywhere.

    The Church

    In the year 2002, the Catholic church has come under fire by the news media because of the corruption in the Catholic priesthood.

    Those who have studied the history of this church have known something about this corruption for many years. For example, some of the problems today we are hearing about are: (1) THE HOMOSEXUAL PROBLEM IN THE PRIESTHOOD On the Fox News Channel, on “The Factor,” they reported that about 50% of ...read more

    Always Remain Watchful Series

     | 4,644 views

    The two parables here serve to caution us about slacking off in kingdom work. We need to keep our waist girded and be ready for service; and be alert and watchful at all times, so we don’t miss opportunities to share the love of Christ.

    This evening’s message is entitled “Always Remain Watchful,” and it’s taken from two short parables commonly called “The Parable of the Faithful and Evil Servant” and “The Parable of the Thief.” In these two short parables Jesus spoke a word about faithfulness; the kind of faithfulness that leads ...read more

    In the previous sermon we talked about the signs of the end times. Some folks do not enjoy studying the signs of His coming.

    Illus: Listen, when I go down the road and I see a sign that tells me there is a sharp curve up ahead or a steep hill, I find these signs helpful. But sometimes signs are confusing. Illus: Two preachers are standing by the side of the road, holding up a sign that reads, “The End is Near! Turn ...read more

    Sometimes it is difficult to make a very good impression.

    Illus: An actor went to see a new agent one day and said, “You must have a look at my act; it really is innovative.” The agent gave him the nod, so he flew up to the ceiling, circled the room a few times and landed smoothly on the agent's desk. The agent said, “So you do bird ...read more

    Saul hides behind his religion. Mafia hitmen rationalize, “Yes, I kill people but I’m really good to my mother.” We are incredibly good at self-deception. People hide behind their religion to evade obedience

    Today, I want to speak to parents and grandparents on raising children who have a stalwart character all their lives. Let’s look at one of the most interesting kings of ancient Israel, King Saul. Today’s Scripture The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for ...read more

    God calls those whom he can use and who are faithful even in areas where they feel weak.

    INTRODUCTION • Life can be full of irony. • When things happen in life, sometimes all we can do is scratch our heads. • Life is ironic, and God loves irony. • Here are a few funny examples of irony: “The most shoplifted book in America is The Bible.” • “According to researchers, duct tape should ...read more

    What God Can Do With A Happy Meal!

    Often we feel like our resources are inadequate. "There's no way God can use me." But we find that God delights to use weak things because it redirects people to Him. Little is much when God is in it.

    WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH A HAPPY MEAL John 6:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Euphemisms of a low IQ 1. Elevator doesn’t reach the top floor; 2. 2 bubbles shy of a bubble bath; 3.

    The Call To Discipleship Part 2: False Starts Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 23, 2021
     | 2,831 views

    We did to have excuses when the going gets tough. Jesus' call is for total commitment. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    When Jesus calls us to follow Him, to be His disciples, Jesus did not call for any halfway measures. How many of us, after the holidays, or before summer season starts say we are going to diet, join a gym, and get healthy? With good intentions we jump right into. However, by day 3 of our diet, ...read more

    William Barclay wrote, “There is no escape from a personal decision in regard to Jesus; we must ourselves decide what we will do with him, accept him or reject him.”

    What Will You Do With Jesus? Will You Dethrone Him?

    Illus: After a long illness, a woman died and arrived at the Gates of Heaven. When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him "This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?" "You have to spell a word,” Saint Peter told her. "Which word?" the woman asked. ...read more

     | 1,266 views

    This is the third message in our series of the church dealing with the lost.

    One thing we all will agree on is that a church should be a place where sincere Christians have gathered for worship and to see from God’s Word how they can reach the lost. Illus: The story is told of a two thousand member Baptist church that was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. ...read more

     | 1,911 views

    Today we are going to examine the arrest, trial, crucifixion, and burial. If you have been in church for at least a year, you’ve heard this message, so, my challenge to you is this: Ask God, “What is that I need to learn as we enter this Holy week?”

    Jesus’ Sacrifice for our Redemption (Luke, Part 12) Luke 22:39-23:56 Introduction / Recap - Last week, we discussed the Lord’s Supper and its importance for today -- What Jesus does is give them a covenant they can stand firm on -- If they serve, they will earn a place in eternity by His side ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Wheat And Tares) # 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,831 views

    Again, I would like to remind you that parables were one of the favorite tools the Lord used in teaching spiritual truths.

    The Lord would take something physical that they all were familiar with, and use it to teach them a valuable spiritual lesson. This method of teaching is referred to as parables. And the Bible said that He taught them many parables. For example, in our scripture today, He used the parable of “The ...read more

     | 2,012 views

    Peter and John were arrested Acts 4:3 .... Acts 5:27 -32 represents their second arrest. “Minding their own business” involved sharing the Gospel. Matthew 28:19 was their call to go and make disciples! There was no Plan B.

    No Plan B Text: Acts 5:27 - 32 Acts 5:27-32  When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them,  (28)  saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you ...read more
