Sermons on Living With Purpose:

Living A Fantasy

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 9, 2017

God had sent one prophet after another to warn Israel of impending judgment. Rather then heeding the many warnings, they continued to live in a fantasy world, void of reality. Sadly many today continue this path, refusing to admit their great need.

Living a Fantasy Hosea 6:4, 7:8ff As you study the book of Hosea, God’s love for His people is easily discovered. While they had turned their backs on him, seeking the gods of this world and the pleasures of the flesh, God continued to pursue them by His grace. In the chapters between our last ...read more

A Living Sacrifice

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 22, 2017

Sacrificing to God has always been part of the man-God relationship. Abel and Cain made sacrifices. Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son. The Levitical system of sacrifices lay at the center of Jewish life. Today God calls for living, not dead sacrifice.

Living By Faith

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 3, 2017

This is a rewrite of Steve Shepherd's wonderful message from 2003. We're to worship by faith, walk by faith, and work by faith, as exhibited by Abel, Enoch, and Noah, consecutively. A good, challenging message.

Live For Christ.

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Feb 23, 2019

I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16)

There are 2 kinds of lives, the Self-life & the God life.

Living Justly

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2017

Is it possible that we just don’t see the people? Many people hide behind rules and regulations, in order to not have to deal with the messiness that comes with real life.

I want to talk about living a just life. I thought that our readings for the book of Exodus would be the perfect book to use for this but that passage dealt more with the logistics of the courts system. So, the passage of Scripture that we will use today comes from 1 Peter 3:8-14. It is as ...read more
