Lent 2013 Week 3 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 6, 2013

God, in His gracious mercy, gives us warnings of the need for repentance. In this case He does it through His Son, Jesus, using two accounts of untimely death and applying them to the reality of eternity which we all face.

This is the third week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at we see how Jesus responded when He was confronted with the news of some untimely deaths. Some died at the hands of an evil man and others died because of a construction accident. Now, you may have noticed on ...read more

Spring Training #1 - Wait Until Next Year Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 25, 2019

Repentance is not a singular act but a daily one that brings us humility, connection and grace

Today we begin a new message series entitled, “Spring Training.” As you may know, Spring training is baseball’s equivalent to the preseason and it started sometime around 1870 when teams went out to California and Arizona to get ready for the real season. After a month of daily games, the team ...read more

Repent Or Perish Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 25, 2017

Jesus spoke of a disaster in Jerusalem that killed 18 people when a tower collapsed. The location of the tower at Siloam is unknown, although it may have been part of Jerusalem’s wall near the pool of Siloam. Jesus also mentioned a group of Galilean men

Judea Lesson: Repent or Perish Luke 13:1-5 1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they ...read more

An Ominous Note

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 30, 2016

"Except you repent, you shall all likewise perish!" Without the mercy and help of God, the cry goes forth a second time: "Cut it down!"

AN OMINOUS NOTE. Luke 13:1-9. There has been an ominous note ringing in the Gospel of Luke ever since Jesus set His face like a flint, determined to go to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51). This was the turning point of Luke’s Gospel, and has implications both for Jesus Himself (Luke 13:33), and for those ...read more

The Problem With Karma

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 11, 2021

I read about a recent survey titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults. Karma was one of them. It said 33% of those with a biblical worldview embraced this concept. That's a problem.

THE PROBLEM WITH KARMA I read an article about a recent survey authored by George Barna, conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University titled, The top 10 most seductive, unbiblical ideas embraced by American adults.

A Message For 9-11 Sunday

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 16, 2021

Bad things have happened to people many times over the years. There were some people who spoke to Jesus about a recent event. His reply wasn't something they expected to hear.

Based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on 9-12-2021. This is not an exact transcription. Introduction: The question has been asked many times before: Where were you on 9-11, 2001? I was a substitute school teacher that day. During the second period, I think, the ...read more

Compost Your Fig Tree Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 18, 2021

If our fig tree isn’t bearing fruit, it’s time to dig around it and apply some good compost. Both are important, essential actions.

Third Sunday in Lent The brilliance of Jesus the preacher can be seen in today’s story, unique to St. Luke, about how He handled some local gossip. Pontius Pilate, the Roman boss of Judea, ruled as a tyrant. On this occasion, it appears he broke up a revolutionary plot right in the area of the ...read more

The Seven Causes Of Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

We need to look at suffering from the point of view of the great Christian thinkers of the centuries, and not lock ourselves into any one simple theory that ends up making God the culprit.

Someone has said that half truths are whole lies. One of the greatest causes for conflicts and misunderstanding among Christians through the ages has been over enthusiasm for a half truth. People will take an idea that has a portion of the truth and wrap it up in a box and say it is The Truth. ...read more

Repentance

Contributed by Tony Abram on Nov 8, 2020

Moreover, true repentance never exists except in conjunction with faith, while on the other hand, wherever there is true faith, there is also real repentance. The two are but different aspects of the same turning--a turning away from sin in the direction of God...The two cannot be separated.

The Reality Of Accidents

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Christians have different views of accidents. Some feel there are no accidents, but that all is God's will. In this message I make it clear that accidents are real and seldom ever God's will.

No doubt everyone of us has had our share of accidents. If not in a car, or with a knife, or some other sharp object whereby we cut ourselves, then all of us have at some point in our life fallen down. It is a part of growing up to fall down, and so it is hard to conceive that even baby Jesus did ...read more

Psalm 139 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 12, 2020

God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
