Shooting Our Wounded

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022

We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

Heroes Of The Bible: Moses Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Feb 19, 2022

The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Moses. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint)

Heroes of the Bible: Moses Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/01/2021 NOTE: This sermon was adapted from my book, Holy Heroes of the Bible. If it's a blessing to you, please consider buying the book which includes chapters/sermons on 17 additional Bible heroes: ...read more

Do You Show Partiality?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at four different types of partiality that take place in churches: Class, Geographic, Racial, and Denominational discrimination. Prejudice in the church displeases the Lord, it is unjust and a complete travesty!

Last Sunday was recognized on the SBC calendar as Racial Reconciliation Sunday, and so I want to share something applicable today. I’ve entitled our message, “Do You Show Partiality?” and this is actually a question for each of us here today. According to Noah Webster, in the 1828 American ...read more

Do You Have Staying Power?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

This is a message on patience. James provides some valuable insight into why believers sometimes fail at being patient, and he explains how to stay the course even when difficult life circumstances seem to go by at a snail’s pace.

If we are willing to be patient until the grace of God is made manifest, whether it takes nine years or ninety, it will be worth the wait. - Rebecca Pippert(1) This morning’s message will addresses the need to develop our staying power. As you might have guessed, this is a sermon on patience. ...read more

Where Do You Stand? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

If You've Seen Me Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022

What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more

Some Trust In Chariots Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 9, 2021

Independence Day: It appears that more and more, the people of America are going astray from a strong belief and commitment to the Lord. Unfortunately, many people trust in the inventions of man more than they trust in God.

In Psalm 20:7, we read, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God” (NIV). This verse sounds like the motto for a country, like what we find written on our money, which says, “In God We Trust.” But I want to ask you this morning, “Do the people of our ...read more

Labor Day: Laziness And Apathy Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Apathy is so elusive is that it usually works in tandem with some other toxic habit. Apathy seems to want to work as the set-up punch to other sins.

Happy Labor Day Weekend to all of you. We continue our sermon series on the Seven Deadly Sins of the Family. Our fourth deadly sin for families is apathy. But I don’t care what you call it. (Yes, I thought we would honor hard workers everywhere by talking about laziness on Labor Day ...read more

Are You Getting His Notifications? Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Aug 27, 2021

We respond to the sounds of our phones, we respond to notifications, we respond to comments and reactions, we will listen to the voices of others but what about God? Are you getting His notifications?

Are you getting His notifications? 1 Kings 19:11-12 (KJV) And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD.

Life In The Son

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

The Emperor’s New Grove

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

The Disney movie "The Emperor's New Groove" sounds like its straight out of the Bible; a story where a king, along with his evil female advisor, desire a new plot of ground. This sermon addresses the slippery slope of envy and coveting.

In Disney’s thirty-ninth animated film, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” self-proclaimed “King of the World” Kuzco (COOS-coh), who had an evil female advisor named Yzma (EEZ-muh), made plans to demolish an entire village to build a new water park. At the highest point of the village he planned on ...read more

To Be Or Not To Be Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 24, 2025

Paul tells the Colossians they were dead. But what did he mean by dead? And how do we know if we are spiritually dead?

The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. That, of course, was from the Merchant of Venice, which I studied in grade 11. Do they still teach Shakespear in High ...read more
