Never Give Up: Pray!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 26, 2019

Come let us reason about prayer. There are UN-HEALTHY prayers and HEALTHY prayers. Let us study about our attitudes while we pray. Real worship is more than a circus. Do we pray with eternities' values in view. Do I have an impressive prayer life? By whose standards? TWO PRAYERS?

NEVER GIVE UP! PRAY! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Winston Churchill stated: We cannot afford to look back ---we have no right --- to look back, WE MUST LOOK FORWARD… Churchill gets credit for saying: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

Twelve Inches From Heaven - Presenting The Gospel ( My Story ) Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Feb 8, 2019

This message shows that believing in Jesus must be accompanied with repentance, which is not giving up a list of sins others tell us to do but being willing to do what God tells us to do.

Humble Thyself

Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019

Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

Humble Thyself Sermon: Feb. 9, 2019 (4th of 11th month) Luke 18:9-14 Two men in the temple. Matt.25:32-46 The response of the saints is "WHEN did we do these things", rather than "YES, I sure did!" They could have said, yes we did these things in order to give glory to GOD, ...read more

To See Or Not To See? That Is The Question.

Contributed by Herb Pulse on May 14, 2022

What is it that you and I see when we go to God? Do we see ourselves through God’s lens?

All seems very wonderful on the surface. How wonderful it is for men to pray! How wonderful as in the days of old when we first read of how men began to call upon the name of the Lord in Genesis 4:26. So now we see in Luke 18 the telling from Jesus of two men, two prayers. The declaration being ...read more

Two Revealing Prayers Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

Can You Be Righteous, And Look Down On People? (Luke 18:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 3, 2022

Also, don't get discouraged, or stop praying. A look at two parables, with a trick to reading them better.

When it comes to the Bible, most of us have favorite parts. For some of you, it's maybe a book-- Psalms, or Matthew. For others, it's maybe a type of literature-- prophecy. We know the whole Bible is inspired. We know it's useful. We read it all. But some parts, we enjoy more than ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Pharisee And The Publican) # 20

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

One of the biggest problems we have in this country and around the world today, is the problem with relationships.

Our courts are backed up for years, and most of them are due to relationship problems. For example: (1) WE HAVE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS When we see the way some husbands and wives act towards each other, it is hard to believe that at one time they stood at the sacred altar before God and ...read more

The Parable Of The Two Sons & The Pharisee And Publican: The Power Of Humility, The Danger Of Pride Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 28, 2022

I had learned about God when I was 7, 8, 9 years old, into my teens, but as my life became increasingly broken I rejected God, and went my own way in anger and pride.

I had learned about God when I was 7, 8, 9 years old, into my teens, but as my life became increasingly broken I rejected God, and went my own way in anger and pride.

Satan Uses Religion

Contributed by Davon Huss on Aug 30, 2022

Satan uses hypocrisy, fratricide, and self righteousness to misdirect and misfocus the Christian (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

HoHum: Does Satan go to church? I know he does. Yes, the spiritual forces of evil are here but mostly they work through people. Imagine Simon Peter’s surprise when this happened: “Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me; you do not have in mind the ...read more

30th Sunday-- The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2022

Dorotheos said that the Pharisee was doing the right thing when he thanked God for giving him the ability to do good—as should they (the monks) themselves. The Pharisee only did one thing wrong: he passed judgment on the tax collector.

Our Gospel today begins with some challenging words, “to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.” There’s an old joke about a psychiatrist who is seeing a new patient for the first time. The psychiatrist says, “I’m not aware of your issue, so maybe you ...read more

Am I A Whitewashed Christian?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 14, 2022

A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, directions, guidance, and characteristics that Christ gave to us. Secondly, what is whitewashed? It is the concealment or covering of flaws, failures, blemishes, or unpleasant facts.

This is the story of two men who prayed. Undoubtedly many have read or at least heard of this story. So why did I title this sermon "Am I a Whitewashed Christian? Well first, let me ask this, what is a Christian? A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, ...read more

Righteous Or Sinner?

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 17, 2022

Do we use our knowledge of God's word to criticize others, or to become more and more humble about our own sins? Let’s learn that we are all still sinners and that God alone justifies. Let’s discuss self-righteousness and self-justification in Luke 18:9-14.
