    Who Do We Follow?

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 30, 2014
     | 5,602 views

    We may call ourselves Christians, but is Jesus our Shepherd? Are we really following him or merely using his name to excuse following a man, a tradition or our own stubbornness?

    Intro: We often hear the 23rd Psalm read or recited at funerals, but did you know that it does not apply to everyone, only to the sheep of the Great Shepherd. Goal: To really understand the most popular of all the Psalms. Plan: We will go through Psalm 23 looking at some important details. I ...read more

    Que sera sera? What will be wil be sound like King Saul's excuse for not waiting on God's plan. King Saul had a tendancy to blame others for his actions. Beware by friend.

    There Are No Advantages To Sin

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 27, 2021
     | 2,272 views

    The Scriptures are filled with illustrations of people who learned the hard way and oftentimes too late that sinful actions carry a high price and prove to be of no advantage to anyone. What, then, is your excuse?

    The Bible has never been shy or unapologetic when it comes to exposing the sins, deceit, and wickedness of fallen humanity and our war against the righteousness and holiness of God. The Bible is open and blunt about the penalty for sin, but has also shown that the Lord God is not willing that ...read more

    What Ever Happened To Sin?

    Contributed by Cameron Bottema on Jan 3, 2013

     | 4,809 views

    In our society, sin has become a "bad word." In the name of tolorance, Christians are excusing their own sin and the sins of others. This sermon deals with the reality of Sin based on God's Inspired Word.

    INTRODUCTION: Psychologist Karl Menninger asked this most significant question: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SIN? This is a haunting question. It lingers with us, and must be addressed from the perspective of Holy Scripture, and with undaunting courage. * - TODAY, we want safe sex, so people in our ...read more

    Many Christians have enough religion to make them decent but not enough to make them dynamic.

    How do you start over in a dead-end life?

    In the old movie, City Slickers, there is a scene in which three friends are together, and one of them is telling the others about how he has messed up his entire life. He’s lost his wife. He’s lost his child. He’s lost his job. He’s lost his self respect. He’s lost everything. He is ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    If you think you do pretty well with relationships, you might want to take a listen at Jesus’ words in this portion of the Sermon on the Mount. We think it is about lust and divorce and promises - but it’s really about making, keeping, and fixing broken r

    Inbred in the deepest part of our souls is a notion that was born in the Garden of Eden that defines love for us. Love is whatever satisfies our needs.

    "Cutting Himself With Stones..." By Dr. Winson Butler

    The person who really wants to do something finds a way, all others an excuse. Not so with the the encounter of Jesus with the sad soul who lived in the tombs. Let’s examine it together!

    INTRODUCTION Mark 5 has been appropriately called the Bible home for the incurables. Three cases, absolutely, humanly speaking, incurable. The demonic man, The diseased woman and The dead girl. All three have been seen as hopeless. If they lived in our world today, one would be sent to a mental ...read more

    Friends, after receiving the Gospel and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, we have to whittle our lives and live a disciplined life; we have no excuse to live a disorderly life!

    Disorderly! 2 Thessalonians 3:6 ‘But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.’ Life is an embarrassing mess today! There is an aggressive ...read more
