    Heart In The Right Place

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 670 views

    Most of us are farsighted about sin—we see the sins of others but not our own.

    Opening illustration: “Could they not carry their own garbage this far?” I grumbled to Jay as I picked up empty bottles from the beach and tossed them into the trash bin less than 20 feet away. “Did leaving the beach a mess for others make them feel better about themselves? I sure hope these people ...read more

    Inside Out Christianity

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 17, 2024
     | 1,707 views

    So often, we Christians--like everyone else get caught up on the outward appearance of our physical bodies, our homes, our cars and our families. Even more dangerous than focusing on the "appearance" of these things, we quite often focus on the appearance of our Christianity.

    Have you ever met someone for the first time, and you were immediately struck by how nice-looking that person was? But after spending some time with them, all of a sudden, they didn’t look that good anymore? Not that their makeup got smeared or their toupee blew off; but once you talked to them and ...read more

    Sermon # 9 - Commandments Over Traditions Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,023 views

    Often the traditions of men have overtaken the commandments of God and thereby, many have missed the true intentions of God’s commandments. May we heed the voice of the Holy Spirit and truly honor and please God in all that we do.

    We read in Matthew 15:3, He answered them, "Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? (GW) As we continue to study the questions that Jesus asked, we realize that all of them were deep and thought provoking. In the above mentioned question there are two important ...read more

    Making The Most Of Every Opportunity

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 25, 2024
     | 2,454 views

    Where did the Easter holiday come from? How do Christians and Churches navigate holidays in a way that takes advantage of what is on people's minds without creating religious holidays and traditions that are not biblically authorized?

    A. One day an atheist was complaining to his Christian friend, “You Christians have your special holidays, such as Christmas and Easter and Jews celebrate their special holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur, but we atheists have no recognized special holidays. It’s just not fair!” 1. The ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 12, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,544 views

    Getting offended is a common Christian experience and shouldn't cause Christians to leave churches, but it frequently does! This examines wrong and right responses to offense and outlines why we should forgive, without strings, the offenders.

    SATAN’S SECRET WEAPON: OFFENSES Matt. 17:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1.

    Third Rail: Sex Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 493 views

    We don’t talk about sex because it is only a symbol, a surrogate for what we really long for - a deep and unwavering connection of our soul to God’s heart.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex in polite company” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your job.” ...read more

    Confession Without Conversion

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 18, 2025
     | 156 views

    Confession without conversion is a dangerous spiritual deception. It gives the appearance of salvation without the power of it. God is not impressed with words alone—He looks for a surrendered heart and a transformed life.

    CONFESSION WITHOUT CONVERSION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 15:7-9 Supporting Texts: Titus 1:16, Isaiah 29:13, Romans 10:9-10, James 2:17, Matthew 7:21-23 INTRODUCTION: In today’s Christian world, many people confess Christ with their mouths but deny Him by their lifestyle.
