    Failure Of Judah Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 12, 2018
     | 14,886 views

    After the death of Joshua, the nation of Israel was ruled by judges, or heroic military deliverers, for about 300 years until the united monarchy was established under King Saul. The era of the judges was a time of instability and moral depravity . . .

    Chapter 1 Failure of Judah [Judges 1:1-1.20] Scripture 1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? 2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have ...read more

    Our Christian Legacy

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 22, 2015
     | 5,541 views

    In our world where trying to get ahead of one another seems to be the rule, God asks us to consider a new reality: to love genuinely and reciprocally, to clutch that which is good and to compete to show the most integrity.

    Have you ever thought about the legacy you want to leave behind when you die? I’m not talking about a physical legacy such as the things you own. I’m talking about how you want people to remember you. The type of legacy you leave behind will depend on the kind of life you lead on earth. ...read more

    This sermon was preached the week after the Supreme Court Ruled that Gay Marriage was protected under the constitution. It addresses how our government has systematically replaced the church as the source of hope and help for the people of our nation.

    Our Government Has Replaced God For all of my life, I have view the United States of America as the greatest country on the face of the earth. Our country has been blessed by God with great resources and a great Christian heritage. But, last week, our Supreme Court made a ruling that will forge a ...read more

    Dealing With Ocd Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2021
     | 3,708 views

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

     | 4,083 views

    Benedictine Monks had rules for just how much each monk was to eat in the monastery. But if one monk takes more than his share of the limited food, another monk goes without dinner lunch.

    We are continuing our teaching series around the Seven Deadly Sins of Family. This is the fifth in the series. Our fifth deadly sin for families is greed. The Sin of Greed In the iconic 1987 film, Wall Street, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas gives an affirming speech in favor of greed. ...read more

    Establishing A Covenant Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,701 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    I Feel A Sermon: Jezebel

     | 318 views

    Sometimes I feel a sermon I could never preach. This is one of them. The Jezebel Spirit tries to rule the spiritual atmosphere. Beware, the 10 gradual downward spiral that can become a trap. The crucible is sure.

    The King On The Throne Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 25, 2025
     | 141 views

    This sermon explores the ultimate demonstration of God's power in the resurrection and supreme exaltation of Christ, who now rules over all creation and has been given as a gift to be the Head of His body, the church.

    Introduction We’ve all seen images of a presidential inauguration. It’s a moment of immense significance, where a leader officially takes their oath and assumes the highest office in the land. At that moment, all the authority of the state is publicly vested in them. Their word becomes law, and ...read more

    The Galatians were clothed with Christ, but they'd been convinced that Jesus wasn't enough. Someone had told them they needed to follow rules and laws to be acceptable to God. Why was that false?

    OPEN: Jesus told a parable about KING who invited everybody to his son’s wedding. Now, I’ve been told that the custom of the day was for the host to supply his guests with appropriate wedding garments, but Matthew 22:11 tells us “when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who ...read more

    The Beauty Of Christian Life

     | 1,196 views

    The reason why many Christians, who claim to be holy, look miserable and depressed and long-faced is that they try to produce a sort of holiness by themselves through some rules made by men. They live again under law.

    The happiest person ever walked on the face of this earth is Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that He was the wealthiest, healthiest, most handsome and most influential person ever lived! But the joy of his life was centred completely on his trust in his Father (God Almighty). Jesus was not moved ...read more

    Christ said He overcame the world. We have been charged with the same purpose. But how do we do it?

    I think I was seven or eight years old when my mother became concerned enough about the lack of a church background for my younger sister and I that she began to take us to church. We drove 20 minutes to the nearest Presbyterian Church and on one of those first Sundays I found myself in a large ...read more

    Following The Shepherd Part 4 Of 6

    Contributed by Larry Elder on Jul 12, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,165 views

    Some feel they are better than others. They don’t hurt people, lead a good life and don’t break the rules. Comparing ourselves to “others” we might think we might look pretty righteous.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    Freedom's Power Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 5, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,084 views

    This message warns us not to depend on a list of rules, which only makes things worse, but to depend on the Lord, who alone can change us from the inside out as He lives His life through us.

    Freedom’s Power (Galatians 2:11-21) Several years ago, the Chicago Tribune, ran an article about the religious history of the Chicago area. It began with a paragraph about Zion, a small town north of the city: “Rev. John Alexander Dowie left little to chance a century ago, when the charismatic ...read more

    Principles For Better Living

    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

    Father Abraham spoke to his “oldest servant of His house, who ruled over all…” This servant was his most reliable and faithful. Father Abraham gave to this servant the complete responsibility of finding the bride for his son.

    HERE COMES THE BRIDE Perhaps the story of how you and your sweetheart met and fell in love is similar to mine. When it comes to meeting, dating and marrying that special someone (in our American culture) – we don’t do. Things quite like they did in Genesis 24. Actually our parents (probably) had ...read more
