    Our Christian Behavior

     | 1,839 views

    This passage of scripture is talking about the Christian’s wardrobe.

    Illus: For example, Princess Diana, Jacqueline Kennedy and Nancy Reagan were known for the beautiful clothes they wore. When Barbara Bush came along, she was a wonderful First Lady, but she was different. In fact, she was so different that many times it looked like she bought her complete ...read more

    Betrayal! We all will experience it sometime in our lives. How will you deal with it? This sermon examines Judas’ betrayal and how we should respond to betrayal in our own lives.

    #59 The Beginning of Sorrows! Series: Mark Chuck Sligh January 30, 2022 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to Mark 14:43.

    An ongoing look at God's attributes. On this Valentine's Day we look at God's love.

    God is Love February 14, 2021 Well, today is Valentine’s Day and I was going to hold off on this attribute of God until the end, but it seemed very appropriate to talk about today. Of course, it’s God’s attribute of Love. The great 20th century theologian, Karl Barth, a man of amazing ...read more

    Jesus Cleanses The Temple

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2021

     | 9,796 views

    When Jesus cleansed the Temple, it was symbolic of His determination to purify His Church, and, after His coming into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, to purge out the things which defile the temples of our bodies. Sanctification.

    JESUS CLEANSES THE TEMPLE John 2:13-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. The pharmacist in the town drug store overheard a boy talking on a cell phone. "Hello, sir, I was calling to see if you needed a lawn boy. Oh, you have one. Well, is he adequate? Oh, he is! Thank you, I was just checking," ...read more

    God Makes His Ministers A Flame Of Fire

    Your flame will always burn brightest when you are actively pursuing your ministry and pouring your life into others. Stoke those flames and get on fire for God. Avoid flame killers, pray for them and avoid them.

    GOD MAKES HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE For our ‘God is a consuming fire’ (Hebrews 12:29) ,”Who makes His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.” (Hebrews 1:7). When we are called to ministry as a servant of God, we have a duty to yield to God’s love and open our hearts to Him. He ...read more

    Faith Like A Child

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,941 views

    We need to consider how our waning faith can become a hindrance to others. Jesus provides a warning about hindering other believers who have the faith of a child. It is also a warning about hindering children from coming to Christ.

    Back when I was in college, one of my favorite songs was “Faith Like a Child” by Jars of Clay. Listen as I share some of the lyrics to this song: “Dear God, surround me as I speak; the bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear . . . Sometimes, when I ...read more

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,721 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    Tweets From God (Part 5: Jude) Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Aug 29, 2021
     | 2,869 views

    If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet? The Bible contains five short, one-chapter books. In the last one, Jude, God speaks to us about defending, developing, and distributing our faith.

    Tweets from God: Jude Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/12/2016 A few weeks ago I began a series I’m calling Tweets from God. What we’re doing is going through the five shortest books of the Bible. Each of these books is a single chapter and can be read in less than three ...read more

    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 2,824 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    The Lie: I Am What I Am Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 22, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,140 views

    This lie promotes the idea that we are destined to be who we are. You feel trapped in whatever sin you may be engaged in and you believe you'll never change. But God says, "No, that's not true. You may feel you were born that way, but God says you must be 'born again.'"

    OPEN: A young boy was being punished, and one of the punishments wasthat he was forbidden to go swimming. One day he came home with his hair wet and his mother demanded an explanation. “I fell in the lake,” he said. “Really? (she said). Then why AREN’T your clothes wet?” He grinned and said: “Well… ...read more

    Be Compassionate To The Fallen Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,739 views

    You cannot lead someone to Christ through criticism, shame or correction. It starts with the kindness of God, as you show forth the compassion and forgiveness of Jesus. “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

    In Romans 2:4, the apostle Paul declared that “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (NIV). If showing forth the kindness of God can lead a person to repentance, then on the opposite side, sharing judgment and condemnation will lead an individual to hardening his heart against the ...read more

    Receiving God’s Grace

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,668 views

    There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

    Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

    Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022
     | 3,983 views

    Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

    Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more
