    Lessons In The New Year From Lepers - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by William Wyne on Mar 7, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,085 views

    Learning from the trials and testings of others to be strong and courageous.

    The story of the Four Lepers is a story that we as believers personally might learn from, but we as a church should allow this story to teach us congregationally as well as we move in this New Year. It’s one of my favorite Old Testament stories that I have on other occasions used as ...read more

    Learning from the trials and testings of others to be strong and courageous.

    Life is a total of our choices. There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist and live with them and in them, or to take the responsibility to change them. And it’s only when you exercise your right to choose, can you exercise the right to change. You may think ...read more

    Our words are a litmus test of the condition of our hearts.

    A Messiah Who Reads the Heart Text: Matt. 12:33-37 Introduction 1. Illustration: My wife Tina is an internal auditor for T. Marzetti. When she walks into a plant to do an audit she can tell a lot about that plant by what she sees. If she finds that the financials, employment records, inventory, ...read more

    If I Were A Rich Man Series

     | 3,990 views

    How A Person Feels About And Handles Wealth Is A Test.

    OPEN: Have any of you seen the play or movie "Fiddler on the Roof" about Tevye, a Jewish man who was married and had 5 daughters. He worked in a small town as a milkman, and often dreamed about what it would be like if he were rich. And he sings a song, "If I were a rich man," in which he sings, ...read more

    Living Free Of Sin Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 10, 2012
     | 5,018 views

    This is the fourth test that proves if one really believes in God.

    Today we look at the fourth and final test that proves that one really believes in God. That test involves living free of sin. Are you living free of sin or not? If we continue to live in sin it is a pretty good sign that you don’t believe in God the way you should. But if you work at ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Clever Dogs

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 4, 2023
     | 1,054 views

    The woman understood the testing or riddle or allegorical challenge of Jesus.

    Jesus puts Jews and gentiles under the same roof, and the first to get there is the Canaanite woman from our Gospel today. In fact, you could say that the day the gospel went to the dogs was the day it came to us. In Catholic Christianity, the word dog is used positively in mottos, by saints, ...read more

    "Bearing Testimony In Troubled Times"

    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,252 views

    God wants to use our tests to provide a testimony.

    It seems like everywhere you look today, there is someone who is predicting that troubled times are ahead. I've heard several who have claimed that our nation today is more divided than it has been since the days before the civil war. I'm not completely persuaded about that, but I do think our ...read more

    These trials or test, this virus, these riots are taking a toll on us.

    Sermon Title: A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. Scripture Text: John 16:33 As we consider all these trials or test, this virus, and these riots that are taking a toll on us.

    Tempted

    Contributed by Bill Butsko on Feb 20, 2010
     | 3,537 views

    We all face temptation, but with the Word of God, we have a way to escape falling into sin.

    Text: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Why would Paul give this ...read more

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 17, 2014
    based on 10 ratings
     | 85,668 views

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    Are Your Satisfied?

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 23, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,873 views

    God wants us to bless (and thank) him AFTER he blesses us. It is easy to be God-conscious when we are in need; it is another thing when we are satisfied.

    Who said: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which ...read more

    Gideon - Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 22, 2014
     | 5,637 views

    This sermon takes us through the bulk of Judges 6 mostly as a narrative with some insight included. It then returns to vs 13 where Gideon accuses God of abandonment. Compares Gideon's doubts w/David's eagerness w/Goliath. Then asks, "How about you?"

    We’ve been taking a look at the life of Gideon, one of the Judges of Israel in the Old Testament. Was he someone we should model our lives after, someone we should avoid or something in between? Hebrews 11:32-34 “(32) And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, ...read more

    Facing Trials With Joy

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 16, 2012
     | 8,610 views

    Some people consider it pure joy when they escape trials. But James calls us to consider it pure joy when we face trials. This seems like an impossible thing to be able to do. What do we need to have if we are going to have joy in the midst of trials?

    FACING TRIALS WITH JOY James 1:1-12 INTRODUCTION: Some people consider it pure joy when they escape trials. But James calls us to consider it pure joy when we face trials. This seems like an impossible thing to be able to do. What do we need to have if we are going to have joy in the midst of ...read more

     | 7,649 views

    Many people still believe in God but the the number is declining. In this message, we will learn three things from the Book of Judges that will help us get to know Him better.

    SCRIPTURE READING: Judges 3: 3 These are the nations the Lord left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience):3 the five rulers of the ...read more
