Sermons on Martin Luther King Jr Day:

"The Return Of The King Of Kings”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 21, 2023

A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday. The Jesus story does not begin in Bethlehem, nor does it end in Jerusalem. Revelation is about the Cosmic war between "good and evil" ...much like the Disney movie "The Lion King".

In Jesus Holy Name November 26, 2023 Text: Revelation 19:11-13,16 Christ the King Sunday Redeemer “The Return of the King of kings” Leonard Sweet in his book: “Jesus, A Theoraphy” writes: The Jesus story does not begin in Bethlehem nor Nazareth. It ...read more

The King Is Coming Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 6, 2021

This passage contains numerous prophecies of the Messiah; one of them being how "Shiloh" must come before the arrival of God’s kingdom of peace and justice. Also discussed are the "Scepter" and the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah."

Christian author Phyllis Reynolds Naylor wrote a book entitled A Shiloh Christmas, which is about a small boy named Marty Preston and his rescued beagle dog Shiloh, who are eagerly waiting for Christmas to arrive, as their town is running low on love and compassion; or what we might call “Christmas ...read more

Our King's Glad Face Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

Palm Sunday is a day of great paradox, for it was a day of such contrasting emotions. Jesus was such a glad king; such a sad king, and such a mad king.

The final week of the life of Abraham Lincoln has an amazing parallel to that of the final week of Jesus. From Palm Sunday to Good Friday is only 5 days, yet in that 5 days we go from the scene of the triumphal entry of the King to the scene of the tragic exit of the King on the cross. Listen to ...read more

King Making - King Breaking Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 12, 2007

Gideon shunned position but kept power, his son Abimelech had position but not power as both were ruled by the flesh and from the flesh reaped corruption. Learn how we can fall prey to that as Christians and how to avoid it.

Judges 8 and 9 give us a good picture of what happens when we decide to let the flesh rule in our lives instead of God’s Spirit. Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the ...read more

Who's Killing The Church?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 22, 2008

Reformation Sunday. As in Luther’s Day, those who will kill the church are those who have no hope for its future, no respect for its past, and no presence in its present.

Near the Tower of London there stands an ancient parish church called "All Hallows". Just inside the wall enclosing the graveyard at All Hallows there is a large sign, placed so that tourists leaving the Tower may read it. The sign at "All Hallows" cites a bit of history and then raises a pointed ...read more

Amid The Flood

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2008

Dramatic monologue as if Martin Luther were the preacher, telling his own story. Time period is the Wartburg stay; focus is on hope and trust in a changing world, "amid the flood" of change.

[Backstage] Walled up here in this fortress, kept practically as a prisoner, prevented from teaching, prohibited from preaching, what good am I? What can I accomplish in such a place? I was not born for idleness, nor for solitude. I was born for action. I was destined by Him who holds in His ...read more

Faith And Good Deeds Series

Contributed by Brady Boyd on Jun 1, 2020

James seems to be contradicting Paul, who taught that salvation was by faith and not by works. Martin Luther even called the book of James, a “Strawy Epistle.” James and Paul were not at odds, though.

James 2 Faith and Good Deeds June 7, 2020 James 2:14-17, 26 NIV What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; ...read more

Confronting The King Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Dec 13, 2009

Why would a loving God send people to hell? Today we will see the terror of facing God with our sins and then we will discover why the penalty, as horrifying as it is, is a fair and just penalty.

Purpose: To describe the judgment of sinners. Aim: I want the listener to fear and reverence God’s holiness. INTRODUCTION: Why would a loving God send people to hell? Many people don’t want to believe that hell exists, or that it only exists for those who have committed really bad things (which ...read more

A Day Like No Other Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 1, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 14:6-11 explains four changes that occur at Christ's Second Coming as evidence that it is the true Messiah and in preparation for the new Millennial age. Jesus will be King of all the earth.

Intro Our text today is entirely dependent of the passage we studied last week.

God Has A Dream

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 15, 2018

God's dream for the church is that it is made up of people of all kinds who love each other and for the church to teach the world how to live together in harmony.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal.” 1. With those words, Abraham Lincoln changed the course of history. B. Fast forward 100 years to a sweltering August day in ...read more

What are you placing your hope in? Are you placing your hope and trust in a person? This week we’re starting a series titled Election 2008. As America prepares to elect a new president in the next few days, what are you looking for?

How in the world did we get to this point? Do you ever find yourself asking that question? I do. When I see some of the craziness that’s going on in our nation, I ask it.

Epicurus And Christ Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 11, 2017

Renaissance atheists ate, drank and were merry and ignored God’s teaching, because they thought of the Christian God as just another non-existent being who wanted to keep them from enjoying themselves.

Thursday of the 32nd Week in Course Reformation/Revolution The Pharisees were religious leaders in Israel at the time of Christ, and, like all pious Jews, they believed that God would send a Messiah to inaugurate the Kingdom of God. But most Jews thought that the kingdom would be brought by force, ...read more

Darwin Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 31, 2016

Darwinism is based on several assumptions about the origin of life. But its often used by many as a tool to oppose God. Because of that, this theory ultimately enslaves people to sin and despair. Do you know why?.
