Straight Outta Context: Jeremiah 29:11 Series

Contributed by Paul Basehore on Aug 27, 2015

Jeremiah 29:11 is not about our own personal fulfillment, it’s about our spiritual fulfillment. If we take scripture out of context, we run the risk of making scripture fit our life, instead of making our life fit scripture.

Jeremiah 29:11 You all know that I love history, and I love bringing up historical events in my messages. But instead of going back to World War II or the Civil War or something else that happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, let’s go back to September 11, 2001. How many of ...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

A Change Of Mind

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jun 12, 2017

Christianity is not something that can be chosen from a buffet of religious options… It's a realization that we're guilty… It's a relationship forged in repentance... It's a life of loving service & obedience to the One whose mercy & grace set us free.

CORE MESSAGE: Christianity is not something that can be chosen from a buffet of religious options… It is a realization that we are guilty and full of shame before a holy, righteous God… It is a relationship that is forged out of our abject humility as we lay prostrate before God in repentance...

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

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 Fruits Of Repentance Series

The Big Idea: Repentance is the gateway to holiness. Lent is a time of contemplation; turning—or returning—to God.

King Frederick II, King of Prussia in the eighteenth-century, once visited a prison in Berlin. The inmates there tried to convince him they were unjustly imprisoned; that is, all of them but one. That one sat quietly in a corner, while the rest protested their innocence. Seeing him sitting there ...read more
