    Many emotions make an appearance in the Scriptures during Holy Week and only the resurrection of Christ brings their resolve.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,533 views

    We might call this a warning against ill-considered kindness, or against unnecessary debt creation. God does not want you needlessly in debt or responsible for someone who is.

    PROVERBS 6: 1-5 THE SNARE OF OVER-EXTENDED FINANCIAL OBLIGATION [Matthew 5:25-26] Our master teacher warns against becoming liable for the financial obligations of others. These verses are not a case against generosity, but against overextending one’s financial resources and acting in ...read more

    The Voice Of The Bride Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Aug 8, 2017
     | 40,379 views

    In prophecies about the falls of and Jerusalem and (figuratively) Babylon, actually separated by centuries, the writers said that the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard any longer in each city. What did these prophecies mean?

    Note: There is a companion sermon to this one, titled THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM. I preached them on two consecutive worship assemblies, with THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM being first, and this sermon following shortly afterward. Both sermons are on Sermon Central.

    The Best Reason To Forgive

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,762 views

    We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

    Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more

    Consecrate Youselves

    based on 4 ratings
     | 40,110 views

    Many Christians want to receive miracles from God, but they are not willing to obey him. However, we need to first consecrate our lives in order to see wonders from God. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

However, very few Christians are willing to live the way God wants us to live. They like to listen to ...read more
