The Transcendence Of God Series

Contributed by Davon Huss on Feb 12, 2013

A sermon on the transcendence of God based on John 4:24. A lot of this is comparing God's spirituality to human spirituality (Adapted from Dr. Jack Cottrell's book, God Most High, chapter 5)

HoHum: "Most middle class Americans tend to worship their work, to work at their play, and to play at their worship. As a result, their meanings and values are distorted.

"Are You Going To Tarshish Or Nineveh" Series

Contributed by Brad Henry on Oct 18, 2011

Extravagant Love

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jul 9, 2014

When the unbelieving world looks at the Christian, they have a difficult time figuring us out. In terms of their own world view, the way we Christians live doesn't make a lot of sense.

Extravagant Love Mark 14:1-9 1. Now the Passover and Unleavened Bread were two days away; and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize Him by stealth and kill Him; 2. for they were saying, “Not during the festival, otherwise there might be a riot of the ...read more

Judging Character

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 26, 2017

We put a lot of priority into the way we look, but God sees on the inside. God values character over appearance, and can rightly help us do the same as we trust him.

1 Samuel 16:6-13 Judging Character In our western society, we truly value outward appearances. People in America spend thousands and thousands of dollars on face lifts, behind lifts, and everything in between. Don Knotts, the actor who played Barney Fife on the Andy Griffith Show, once said, “What ...read more

The Road To Emmaus Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Mar 18, 2021

There seemed to be a lot more drama surrounding the death of Jesus – earthquakes, curtains being torn at the Temple, darkness covered the earth. The resurrection was done quietly without any witnesses to the actual moment of resurrection.

Are Your Words Testifying Against You?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 24, 2020

When you uncover the things that people are passionate about… and see the things that they ‘willingly’ give their – time, energy, resources and efforts too, you will learn a lot about that person. Same is true of Jesus.

The Prophet Isaiah 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 27, 2022

We hear a lot of these television preachers give the impression that God comes down at least twice a day and visits and talks to them in an audible voice about the things He wants them to do.

I find it hard to believe what many of these television preachers preach and teach most of the time. Much of it is UNSCRIPTURAL AND RIDICULOUS! They make the Lord’s work look bad! When one comes up with a new idea for making more money, the others seem to follow. I am sure there must be some good ...read more
