Romans 3:21-31 Series

Contributed by George Mclaughlin Jr. on Dec 24, 2009

God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, by no means cheapens His righteous holy requirements. Rather, it shows just how demanding He is! There is NO HOPE for anyone fulfilling those requirements apart from Jesus. So, through Jesus and the Law, God has leveled

Matthew 5 - Part 6 - Oh God, Please Don’t Send Me To Africa! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

So, do I have to go to the heart of Africa or some other war ravaged, AIDS ridden, refugee overrun, starving hordes kind of country before I can show mercy? I hope not! Is that unmerciful? What does being merciful really mean?

26/12/09 Pastorross | public entry | tags: identifying with others, Mercy, Compassion, Matthew 5 | report Matthew 5 - Oh God, please don’t send me to Africa!

Grandchildren will teach you much about life. One of mine, Jackie, age 5, taught me about human nature recently. My wife and I had gone to take care of the girls while their parents were away, and we came, as always, armed with things to do – arts and crafts, games, books, the whole gamut of ...read more

Liberty Without Freedom

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Apr 17, 2009

Lazarus was raised from the dead by the power of God. Likewise all that believe in Christ have been given a new life. They have been lifted out of the graveyard of sin and sorrow. Jesus said, “Loose him and let him go.” It means that he could not go unles

LIBERTY WITHOUT FREEDOM Dr. D. K. Olukoya In John 11, we see one of the most interesting stories in the Bible. A friend of Jesus had been sick. They called Jesus but He did not show up until four days after the man had died. John 11: 38-44 says, “Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh ...read more

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2020

Evangelical Christianity often struggles with the words of James 2 when he declares things like "faith without works is dead," and "Abraham was justified by works." This sermon reconciles his meaning to that of Paul and demonstrates genuine faith is always expressed in works.

GHOSTS IN A CULTURE'S PAST During my Sophomore year of college at Wartburg College – a Lutheran school in Northeast Iowa, I had the privilege of taking a class which took us to Germany for a month to tour sites associated with the Reformation, as we learned about the history of the movement ...read more

The Man Of Sorrows

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 16, 2018

Isaiah lived some seven hundred years prior to Jesus, and yet he revealed much about the significance of His life and death. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy regarding His first advent. I am thankful He came to provide the means of our salvation.

The Man of Sorrows Isaiah 53: 4-6 As I consider the Bible as a whole, there are specific chapters that seem to stand out above the rest. I do not imply these are any more inspired, or needful than the rest, but they are of such rich substance that I feel inadequate to enter their eternal standing. ...read more

Love Is Not Rude!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 18, 2018

This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Luke 7:36-50 A. As most of you realize, during the last 2 weeks I have based my messages on Paul's description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...read more

The King And The Kingdom Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

When we pray, "Thy kingdom come", we really mean just that. May your rule come into our lives, our community, our nation, and our world, that we might be guided by your authority, and not lose the power and light it brings.

For 13 years he was one of the greatest rulers Russia ever had. In 1547, when he took the throne, he sought for a Queen, and found one he loved so dearly that together they made their kingdom a kingdom of love.

Experiencing Finanical Peace Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Jesus wants you to use your final days and your money to win friends for your future: “And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9).

This morning I want to put a bow on our series, Margin, by examining Jesus’ words on the important subject of money. In week one, we learned the value of contentment. In week two, we learned the value of saving for a rainy day. Last week, we saw something of the joy of giving. Today, I want you to ...read more

Freedom

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 20, 2022

Real freedom in Christ occurs when we live in God's Spirit and are useful in influencing other's lives for God. Jesus Himself showed us what freedom is. Today the word freedom has been misunderstood to mean license to sin.

FREEDOM Gal. 5:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Sometimes we take our freedoms too far. Like evry other president, William Howard Taft had to endure his share of abuse. One night at the dinner table, his youngest son made a disrespectful remark to him. There was a sudden hush. 2. “Well,” said ...read more

Let Us Consider One Another Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jan 8, 2021

And what I want to talk with you about today is- spurs. I looked up the word to see exactly what it meant. And according to the dictionary it means a device with a small spike or a spiked wheel that is worn on a rider's heel and used for urging a horse forward.

Introduction Somewhere in a Hartson family photo album is a picture of me at the age of about three. In the picture, I have on my cowboy hat, cowboy shirt, my boots, short pants standing next to my spring action rocking horse.
