How God Talks To You Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 9, 2010

God speaks through His Word, the Bible. He uses teachers to educate and guide. He also speaks through impressions He leaves in our mind and the pain of life experiences.

The Trouble With Sin

Contributed by Steve Greene on Sep 9, 2019

The Word of God is to be our Source of Truth. What does the Bible say about sin? There are conflicting and confusing messages in the world today. This message is a reminder that the God who made us will enable us to live the life He has called us to live.

What is the measure you use to determine the value of a message like the one you are about to hear? I mean, how do you evaluate it? Is the value in a message like this in the speaker’s ability to hold your attention, or to make you laugh, or make you cry, or move you some way emotionally? It is ...read more

Clean All Over Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 23, 2009

We are no good to anyone else unless first we have experienced cleansing. That rules out maternalistic protection or paternalistic inhibition. When we know we are cleansed, then we are useful to others.

The Bible And God's Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 1, 2021

The Bible is life’s operating manual. It teaches us how to live in every major issue we face in life. It’s a sure guide to success. Unfortunately, too many fail to read the instructions.

Last time, we talked about God’s Will versus our will. We learned a little about predestination. And I tried to answer many of the questions about predestination. Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and ...read more

Receiving God’s Grace

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

Takes three aspects of the game of ice-hockey and finds bible messages in them. This sermon was given to a mainly unbelieving group of ice-hockey supporters of The Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey Club, United Kingdom.

This sermon was given to a mainly non-Christian group of ice hockey fans in 25th January 2001. It was very different to the sermons given in Church to seekers or believers. I found this sermon difficult to write and indeed the delivery went slightly away from this script as the Spirit lead ...read more
