    God’s Incredible Plan Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 19,935 views

    God is interested in making a whole family of people like Jesus. That is our destiny our destination and God has already predetermined to make us that way. So that’s God’s purpose. He chose us and then he changes us.

    INTRODUCTION Last Sunday as we were reading Romans, 8:28, I told you it was like the spiritual Mount Everest. It is the pinnacle of biblical revelation to me. We’re going to stay on the top for a little bit today and admire the view from this great pinnacle of biblical truth. If you happen ...read more

    Knowing God

    Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

    Note 1: This sermon can be used as a companion sermon to "Knowing Christ," which is also posted on Sermon Central. They are not redundant, and may be used separately or presented on consecutive occasions. Note 2: I have developed some PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. If ...read more

    #6 in the Book of James Series concerning the fact that we must do more than just look into the mirror of God’s Word, but we must be willing to accept what we see and make changes accordingly.

    Through the Looking Glass to Pure Religion #6 in the Book of James Series By Pastor Jim May James 1:23-25, "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth ...read more

    Principles For Better Living

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jan 22, 2010
    based on 50 ratings
     | 12,308 views

    Scriptural principles to make life better. 1- Stay cool, don’t blow your cool 2- Try faith, don’t let faithlessness rule 3- Be possessed, don’t give in to obsession

    INTRO.- ILL.- I like the story about the preacher who had a microphone in his hand as he preached, and as he moved around the platform he would jerk the cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles ...read more

    The Basis For Judging Others Series

    Contributed by Steve Smith on Oct 8, 2007
     | 3,517 views

    What is the basis for making judgments of others? Jesus teaches how one’s fruit will expose the heart as well as the choice in life.

    I. INTRODUCTION A. The Dangers of In/Out of Context 1. Key Verse of S.O.M. - Matthew 5:20 a. The Setting - Jesus Has Just Called The Disciples All they had for examples before Jesus was the Pharisee and Scribes. Jesus needed to show them his way of life was different. b.

    The Birthright (2008)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 996 views

    When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

    THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more

    How often do we make our plans only to find out God has something else in mind?

Jeremiah 29:10-14 10 “For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare[b] and not for ...read more

    A Starting Place For Successful Ministry

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 9, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,691 views

    The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

    Sermon: A Starting Place for Successful Ministry Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ...read more

    Seizing The Day ( 2012)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2022
     | 1,708 views

    So how do we honestly number our days (Psalm 90:12)? Consider Ephesians 5:15-16: "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil" (RSV).

    Ephesians 5: 15. Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, 16. making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be ...read more

    Test 4: The Tongue Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 64 ratings
     | 55,276 views

    Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

    1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

    Using Paul's words in a different way... to talk about fighting a good fight (argument) with family and how you can preserve the family.. because we do have fights!!

    Fighting the Good Fight 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me— And the prize is not just for me...

    This morning, I want to make a comparison using something that everyone can understand, especially today. The Church and a football team.

    Doesn't Everyone Go To Heaven?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,247 views

    Our world today will try to convince people that ultimately everyone goes to heaven. God makes it very clear that is not the truth.

    I mentioned last Sunday that the world tries to convince people that there is more than one way to get to heaven. God showed us in Scripture that His Son Jesus told us very plainly that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one gets to the father unless they go through Jesus. But ...read more
