    Exceeding Expectations Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,821 views

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more

    A Word Concerning Morality Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 20, 2021
     | 2,662 views

    The text is a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and a distinct biblical doctrine, that is often overlooked and even ignored. In this portion of His message Jesus dealt with the immorality of adultery and emphasized the importance of morality among believers.

    A Word Concerning Morality Matthew 5: 27-30 Today we come to a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and a distinct biblical doctrine, that is often overlooked and even ignored.

    Now, we turn to "The Parable of the Dragnet," a story that zooms in on the future—the day when the righteous and wicked will be separated.

    Matthew 13:47-50 Introduction • Setting the Stage: We’ve been diving into the parables of Jesus, uncovering what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. We’ve seen its growth and challenges in parables like "The Mustard Seed" and "The Leaven," its value in "The Hidden ...read more

    From His Bruises Series

    Contributed by John Bright on Apr 17, 2025
     | 243 views

    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - a large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

    Series: Jesus’ Blood for Me “From His Bruises” Titus 2:11-14 Pastor John Bright Titus 2 “11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking ...read more

    This sermon looks at the first of the six, "you have heard it said" statements of Christ, where Jesus looks at the intent of the Law, not just the letter of the Law

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID – MURDER MATTHEW 5:21–26 “YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID TO THE PEOPLE LONG AGO, ‘DO NOT MURDER, AND ANYONE WHO MURDERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDGMENT.’ 22BUT I TELL YOU THAT ANYONE WHO IS ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDGMENT.

    This message continues the series on the Sermon on the Mount and the section dealing with the redefining of the Law by Jesus. This particular message looks at the issue of adultery

    Legal Counsel For Christians Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,886 views

    Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

    I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more

     | 1,291 views

    The reaction we have to our sin should be of sorrow, grief and mourning. Today, we are losing our sin consciousness. We need to mourn.

    The Beatitudes are like a nut. You open it and the Sermon on the Mount is on the inside. When man seeks to build a better world, he does it by trying to change conditions and circumstances. Man believes if you can change conditions then the world will be better. That is the philosophy of man. When ...read more

    Murder Mystery Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,290 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more

    How the prohibition against adultery expanded to include lust.

    Moses has been gone up in the clouds on Sinai for days and the elders are getting nervous. Finally he appears, carrying two large hunks of rock, with what appears to be writing on them. The elders are nervous, understandably, given what’s been happening - the golden calf, and so on. Moses ...read more
