    Spirit Of The Law Part 1

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023
     | 751 views

    Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.

    The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

    A Faithful Man - Joseph Series

    Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023
     | 1,417 views

    There is not a lot about Joseph, a faithful man contained in scripture. Matthew 1:18-25 gives most of the information about Joseph. But what we discover here is that Joseph was a man whom you & I would do well to imitate in many ways.

    Always Right To Do Right Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 11, 2024
     | 456 views

    The disciple has one overweening concern–the proclamation and living of the kingdom of God.

    Saturday of the 10th Week in Course 2024 Following the Lord Jesus is not easy, although His yoke is light and not burdensome. How can I say two seemingly contradictory things? Following Christ is the right thing to do; we probably all believe that or we would not be together in Church, at least ...read more

    Don't Lose Your Head!

     | 933 views

    Herod's bad decisions, compromise, and pride created a prime situation in which to be taken advantage of and tricked into executing John the Baptist. We can learn from Herod and learn not to be so gullible.

    THE EXECUTION OF JOHN THE BAPTIST HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING, TANTALIZING, AND SADISTIC PASSAGES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ONE MIGHT EVEN QUESTION HOW THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE COULD EVEN QUALIFY FOR A SUNDAY SERMON! JUST THE MARRIAGE ALONE, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS CORRECT IN REBUKING HEROD ...read more

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org I realize that this morning, we are approaching a culturally sensitive topic of divorce.

    The Black And White Of Following Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,074 views

    Christ is he who will satisfy the deepest desires of our empty souls, and who promises us eternal life and resurrection if we dedicate ourselves to obedience in faith.

    One could get into quite a discussion with biblical scholars and teachers over who was the greatest prophet in Israel. The greatest of the writing prophets, of course, was Isaiah, but he lived long after the period written about in the first reading today. Elijah pops into one’s head at first, but ...read more

    Lying Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 24, 2022
     | 3,463 views

    This sermon is about the trait of "Honesty." The primary focus is how unlike the world, Christians should see themselves as not living in this world, but living in a kingdom reality that is characterized by honesty, rather than dishonesty.

    I would like to start off with a few questions that require an honest answer. The first question is how many of you have told a lie in the last five years? I am not talking about the white lies when your wife asks you if her jeans make her butt look big. I am talking about honest to goodness ...read more

     | 2,353 views

    The only countries that do not allow divorce are the Philippines and the Vatican City. The Vatican City is a state ruled by the head of the Catholic Church, a religion that does not allow for divorce.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:31-32 (Divorce) 31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a ...read more

    Oaths Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 19, 2022
     | 2,947 views

    Jesus now says that His disciples should not take an oath at all. They should not swear by anything. The main reason is that a person known for integrity does not need to enhance their promises

    SERMON ON THE MOUNT (OATHS) 33 Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is ...read more

    Third Rail: Sex Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 559 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

     | 441 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ began His "sermon on the mount" by addressing the blessings His people possess. He continues His teachings, covering topics such as influence, the Law, behavior, and how to love one's enemies.

    Matthew 5:13-16: Jesus compared all true believers to salt, which was used as not only a flavoring but as a preservative against spoilage. Our lives and words are to be used by the LORD to preserve morality and godliness in an increasingly decaying society. Like salt, our lives can be catalysts ...read more
