Prompted By Faith. Series

Contributed by David Hughes on Feb 2, 2004

Nehemiah’s strong faith in God prompts him to take the steps needed to make the Jerusalem re-building project a reality. This sermon explores the significance of faith when facing a difficult mission.

How strong is your faith? Is it firm enough to resist hardship? Is it robust enough to overcome fear? Will it stand up to the tests of doubt? Last week, we saw that Nehemiah was a man of great faith: the cupbearer to Artaxerxes, the King of Persia, he was devastated by the news that Jerusalem ...read more

Becoming God's Prize/ Tithing

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Sep 29, 2003

The Day Superman Died Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 28, 2013

Unlike Superman, Jesus came to earth... to die. But there are people who reject Jesus' mission. They refuse to accept the idea that Jesus came to die, to be buried and rise again. Why would they do that?

OPEN: (We showed a picture on the screen of George Reeves as Superman with a flowing cape) Who is this? (Superman) Of course it’s Superman. This was THE superman.

“critical Care Of The Body Of Christ”

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 17, 2013

For the church, the Body of Christ, to fulfill its purpose and mission it must be united. Paul emphasizes this in Ephesians 4. As the Body of Christ, we need to realize the necessity of caring to maintain unity within the church.

“Critical Care of the Body of Christ” Ephesians 4:1-6, 25-32 A Christian church is a local body of regenerate (born-again) persons, baptized on a profession of their faith in Christ; who have united in covenant for worship, instruction, the observance of Christian ordinances, and for ...read more

Love And Unity In The Community

Contributed by Mark Engler on Jan 2, 2015

The first century Christians at Rome struggled with unity in their Christian community, the church of today does too. If are to accomplish the mission of Christ, Christians must work together in unity as one mind, one heart.

Christ Unexpected

Let's Quit With The Excuses, Shall We?

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Aug 8, 2013

How is it that we, the Body of Christ, ignore fulfilling in the lives of those sitting in our pews His self-identified mission as described in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-21?

I’m tired...so very tired. Not tired of body, but tired in soul. There is something troubling my heart that I have to speak today, something I have to get out in front of those who call themselves “the Redeemed”. I will be brief, but I will be clear. The words of Isaiah 61:1-3 ...read more

Introducing: God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 23, 2009

The Beatitudes (it means "blessing") are probably the most famous words Jesus uttered. They are also among the most mis-understood. To understand the Beatitudes we need to know Jesus person and His mission.

The Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most famous part of Jesus’ earthly ministry. I think it’s safe to say that more people are familiar with at least parts of this series of sermons than are the account of the cross. In Matthew’s gospel (which is ordered topically more than chronologically) ...read more
