    Remembering The Holy Innocents Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,340 views

    This Bible passage, about the “Massacre of the Innocents,” can be applied to abortion. This message shares some insights into the driving force behind the killing of babies, and speaks of what can be done to stop it.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Remembering the Holy Innocents.” “In the New Testament, the ‘Massacre of the Innocents’ is the incident in the nativity narrative . . . in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male children two years old and under in the ...read more

    God Loves A Cheerful Giver

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

    God's Judgment About Judging Other People Series

     | 5,607 views

    Jesus tells us not to judge: 1. Because of the boomerang effect (vs. 1-2). 2. Because of our spiritual blindness (vs. 3-5). 3. Because God wants us to bless other people (vs. 5-6).

    God's Judgment about Judging Other People The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 7:1-6 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - October 28, 2018 (Revised April 22, 2021) MESSAGE: *Rich Atchley said, "If you went to the average university campus today, and asked students if they know a ...read more

    Writing On The Wall Series

    Babylon, like Israel, was in danger of judgment and being taken by a foreign nation. This message views the reason why a country falls from God’s grace, causing Him to lift His hedge of protection.

    In our last two messages from this series, I asked us to consider this important question: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” In the most recent of our previous messages, we learned some ...read more

    A Time To Repent Series

     | 6,253 views

    Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

    In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

    A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children play, called “Hide and Seek”.

    Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. However sometimes older teens they cheat when they play this game. Let me explain… Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She ...read more

    Worship is our joyful response to Christ’s finished work.

    A few weeks ago, our Montgomery County boys’ basketball team punched their ticket to the state tournament in dramatic fashion. With the game tied and only seconds remaining, MOCO launched a deep three—as the buzzer sounded, the ball banked through the rim. Game over. The crowd went crazy. The Arena ...read more

     | 3,271 views

    The Resurrection of Jesus is a prophecy foretelling that death is not the end of man, but that life persists through death and emerges from it, like a buried river flashing forth again into the light of day.

    [RESURRECTION REALITIES SERIES] 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 20-28 THE RISE AND FALL OF DEATH [Romans 5:12-21; Revelations 20: 6-14; Palms 110, 8] This passage begins with the triumphant ringing out of the great fact which changes all the darkness of an earthly life into a blaze of heavenly light & ...read more

    Advent 4 - Love - The State of our Hearts on The Night Before Christmas What is Christmas really about, anyway?

    Sin With The Tongue – Part 2

    Contributed by Kunnil Wilson on Nov 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 567 views

    The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell

    Continued from Part 1 What are the words that cause sin? Second. Proverbs 15:1-2 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

    The Narrow And Difficult Way Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,447 views

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    When I was in my twenties, I was an avid cave explorer. Now, I just watch caving videos on YouTube. It is interesting how spelunkers will naturally follow a large wide-open passage first.
