0821 Trinity Xxi: Jesus, My Brother Was Murdered Series

Contributed by Mark Woolsey on Oct 29, 2007

My first response when I learned of the passage I am to preach on this morning was a mild, "What will I say?" Jesus healed a boy, but so what? What possible use could this be to my life? What difference does faith make?

At The Feet Of Jesus

Contributed by Greg Warren on Mar 19, 2013

This sermon was a part of a series I did during our church's annual 21-day church-wide fast. We were looking at different elements of a fast. This message focuses on a fast as a time to simply sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence.

Today I want to take a closer look at the life of a woman we meet in the Bible. She seems to have this “intimacy with God” thing figured out about as well as anyone. Her name is Mary. And the interesting thing about Mary is where you often find her in relation to Jesus in various ...read more

Our Focus The Cross

Contributed by Neil Stich on Aug 3, 2012

The power of Christ's forgiveness is found in His suffering on the Cross. Even as those around Him were mocking Him, He was still filled with compassion for them. Are we any different than those who stood at the foot of the Cross and mocked Jesus? Hi

Members Without Salvation Series

Contributed by Carl Allen on Sep 17, 2008

There are so many churches today, that are filled without people, that don’t have salvation. The difference between the average Christian and average non-Christian is very little. Why what until you die and go to the Judgment seat to know for sure if yo

Prevailing In Righteousness Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on Aug 30, 2007

This spiritual warfare series handles the topic in a different way: using Paul’s teaching on each piece of the armor from the previous chapters helps us to see the meaning of this war--less about attacking Satan and more about pursuing God! Righteousness

The Rich Man And Lazarus

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013

Death is the great leveler. Not all rich men go to hell, nor do all poor men go to heaven. It was how Lazarus lived his life before God, and how the rich man squandered his opportunities, that determined their differing destinies.

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS. Luke 16:19-31. It was against the Pharisees who were lovers of money that Jesus spoke the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. It is a sad story, which shows two men in quite different lifestyles in this life, and the fate of each of them in the life to come. 1. The ...read more

Persevering Faith

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 5, 2014

John 3:36 says, “He who believes (present active tense) in the Son has everlasting life...” The difference between dead faith and genuine saving faith is that saving faith is a persevering faith. Consider the characteristics of a persevering faith

Persevering Faith Hebrews 11:39-12:3 Faith is synonymous with belief and trust. There is however a difference between genuine saving faith and spurious, superficial, disingenuous faith. This difference is crucial. Intellectual assent, a head belief or knowledge does not save. James 2:19 tells us ...read more

Do You Have 20/20 Vision?

Contributed by Chad Taylor on Jan 7, 2014

Every year we struggle with New Year's Resolutions or goals set that we fail to reach. The church is no different. Does the church have a clear vision for Jesus and the authority of His word? Its time to separate the garbage from the truth in our walk!

Introduction On September 27, 1991, as was his custom, Gerald Sittser, a professor of religion and philosophy at Whitworth College, prayed, asking God to protect and bless his family. Something went terribly wrong. Later that afternoon, returning from a family outing, a drunk driver lost control ...read more

Real Repentance

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014

Repentance... How would you define it? It may be the case if I asked every person in this room to give me a definition of repentance, I may get quite a few different answers. This is a subject that I believe is greatly misunderstood in the religious world

The Gift Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 25, 2017

Gift of the Holy Spirit differs from spiritual gifts. God's Word and God's Spirit work in tandem in our lives. The Spirit touches the heart - the inner life. The same Spirit that indwelt 3,000 on Pentecost is the same Spirt that indwells us today.

THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Just about everyone knows just how important the signs are that are placed along our highways are. These official highways signs give us direction and warn us of certain dangers. These signs are easily read in the daytime and also at night because they reflect headlamp ...read more

Compelled To Continue

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 5, 2017

Have you ever felt as if your efforts were in vain, and questioned if you were making a difference? We find ourselves questioning God, and tempted to abandon the work. We are not the first to feel this way. God is able to provide the strength we need.
