Sermons on Manasseh:

The Reluctant Warrior Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 26, 2014

This is a first person portrayal of the life of Gideon. What was it like to become the man that God used to free Israel from their enemies? What changes did God bring into his life, and what struggles did he face in his journey to becoming a hero of God?

(Props: Ram’s Horn; Fleece - obtained at “Joanne Fabric”. I dressed in Old Testament clothing and wore a convincing wig and fake beard. I began the sermon by singing two verses and the chorus from “He Is Jehovah” by Betty Jean Robinson.) "He is Jehovah, God of ...read more

We fall off the wagon somehow, become defiant and disobedient to God, turn to completely ungodly or humanistic resources for help or satisfaction and then wonder why God isn’t blessing us?

The True Transformer--Jesus Christ

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Aug 11, 2021

This sermon deals with God’s desire to transform us from what we are to what God is calling us to be. God would rather transform us than sentence us to judgment.

Refuting The Entitled Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

In entitlement thinking, “title equals entitlement.” Favor is demanded based on one’s status or position. It seems the descendants of Joseph felt entitled to more land because they were a large tribe; but bigger doesn't equal blessing.

When it comes to possessing the land, we can’t just stand around waiting for someone to hand it to us. The same is true for those who are drawn to the work of God in our church and who want to partner with us. When we begin making an impact for the kingdom, and as we start leading others to ...read more

Jesus Is The Messiah Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Feb 26, 2023

Matthew 1:1-17 teaches us that Jesus is the Christ that the people of God were anticipating.

Introduction Perhaps you enjoy watching a series of shows on television. There are all kinds of different series. My preference is for murder mysteries. Ordinarily, each episode is self-contained; it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. But, once in a while, the television producers decide to ...read more

In Matthew 1:1-17, we learn that the exile forms an important part of the genealogy of Jesus because it highlights his mission of redemption for those who are separated from God.

The Mission Of The Messiah Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 31, 2023

In Matthew 1:1-17, we learn that Matthew summarized the entire history of God's people because he believed it all climaxed in the mission of Jesus.

Introduction We are concluding our sermon series today that I am calling, “Bloodlines: The Genealogy of Jesus.” I hope you have come to see that the genealogy of Jesus is far more than merely a list of names.

God Will Finish What He's Started (Joshua 12:1-23, 13:1-22) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2022

Joshua is old, and he can't do all that he wants to for God (and there's a lot left to do). God reassures him, "I got this. I'll finish the job."

This is a great passage. Let me try, up front, to persuade you about this. It's super helpful for understanding Joshua as a whole. There's hints scattered throughout this section about the Nephilim, if you're into that sort of thing. And the passage points us to God, and his ...read more

Labor For The Lord Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Joseph was a peanut shell in Yankee Stadium, and that is the level of notice he would have gotten in history from that point on. But God gave him the ability to interpret dreams, and he impressed the Pharaoh. He was instantly exalted to the highest level of power in the powerful nation of Egypt.

Grace Kelly, the American actress, married into royalty when she became the wife of Prince Rainier of Monaco. This became world wide news back in 1956 as an American girl became Princess Grace. But it was far from being a rags to riches story, for Grace grew up in wealth and luxury. Her father ...read more

Jesus’ family tree focuses mainly on men but with 4 notable exceptions: Tamar in verse three, Rahab in verse five, Ruth also in verse five, and Bathsheba at the end of verse six. All of these women were involved in some kind of scandal.

Today we launch a special time for you and our church. You’ve Got the Time is more than a sermon series, it’s a spiritual growth campaign.

I Forgot Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 31, 2016

Our present passage provides insight as to why the Israelites stumbled in fulfilling their obligations, and consequently should give us some insight into our own stumbling.

Psalm 78:9-11 I Forgot 12/30/08 D. Marion Clark Introduction This psalm is excellent for studying at the end of the year – for it is a psalm of looking back so as to look forward. The first eight verses focus on the obligation God’s people have to pass on to the next generation what ...read more
