    Most Americans tend to believe a relationship with God is primarily about going to heaven when you die. They think that all good people will go to heaven. But the truth is that your relationship with God in this life will determine your destination in th

    Can God's Love Toward Us Change?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2021
     | 2,177 views

    There is a quote going around that essentially says, "No matter how good we try to be God cannot love us more and no matter how bad we are God cannot love us less." What does God's Holy Word say about that?

    Can God’s Love Toward Us Change? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    The Freedom Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 29, 2015
     | 8,161 views

    If you and I want to have relationships that last for the long haul, then we must be willing to extend forgiveness to others. In every relationship you have, you will constantly be called on to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. God will help us do this!

    The Freedom of Forgiveness Text: Matthew 18:21-35 Intro: There was a man who really loved dogs. He devoted his life to them. He read about them, studied them, and even gave talks about them to other dog lovers. One day he decided to pour a new sidewalk in front of his house. His neighbor watched ...read more

    Bumpin Into Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,468 views

    This sermon is about making an effort to encounter Jesus in an intentional way instead of just bumping into him on occasion. It should cause us to look at our relationship with Christ and evaluate whether we are in a relationship with Jesus or if he is just a casual acquaintance.

    In our scripture today we find Jesus surrounded by a large crowd on His way to the home of a synagogue official named Jarius’ whose daughter is dying. Now in the whole of the scripture today we learn of two separate miracles but I want to focus on just one today. I want to focus not on the ...read more

    The Provocative Entry

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 3,039 views

    Palm Sunday helps us correctly understand humility in relationship to others, and Christian vocation in relationship to God. The following discourse is based upon one of the first sermons I preached, a “Palm Sunday” sermon given many years ago.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) There are very many New Testament scriptural admonitions to humility; for example, Paul writes: “By the grace given to me I bid everyone among you not to think of himself more ...read more

    Handling Offences And Conflicts In Ministry

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 8, 2025
     | 197 views

    Jesus acknowledged that offences would come, but He also gave us practical steps for dealing with them. Ministry is about relationships—between us and God, and between us and others. If these relationships are not properly maintained, the work of God can be hindered.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 18:15-17 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 19:11, Colossians 3:13, Romans 12:18, James 1:19-20 INTRODUCTION: Offences and conflicts are inevitable in life, and especially within ministry.

    Are we frightened into a relationship with God out of fear of hell or are we fascinated with having a personal relationship with God? This sermon looks at both Isaiah 43:1-7 and Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 to find an answer to this question.

    Frightened or Fascinated Isaiah 43:1-7 / Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 Intro: We all have expectations of relationships, children, marriage, children, and even the church. I.

     | 12,117 views

    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

    Matthew 5 - Part 14 - WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE HATES YOU? I remember years ago that a man wrote a nasty letter to me and included in it a curse and all kinds of false accusations. To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more
