Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 2 - Genesis Chapter 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023

We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.

MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 2 GENESIS CHAPTER 1 In Part 1 we looked at how man has taken what belongs to God and cancelled God out of the whole matter. The self-deceived in the world dismiss God and His creation and wallow in their own intelligence ...read more

Psalm 2 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 25, 2020

The first two psalms are often considered to be designed as a pair serving as an introduction to the 150-psalm collection. The first psalm describes the difference between the blessed man and the evil man, and Psalm 2 is about triumph over the forces that oppose the faith.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

God Is Not Among You

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Oct 4, 2022

Assuming God's blessing is one of the most dangerous mistakes we can make in the Christian life. A group of Israelites made this exact mistake, and it cost them everything.

Sermon On Broken Fragments

Broken fragments have been defined as small particles that have become detached from something larger or whole.

Eva Ashwood, a female author of several novels once remarked: “There’s nothing wrong with being broken. Some things aren’t meant to be whole. And some things don’t need to be fixed. Some things are broken and aren’t meant to be fixed. But that doesn’t mean they’re fine the way they are. It just ...read more
