    Twenty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 21st Sunday, Year A -“You, Rocky Are The Rock Upon Which I Will Build My Church.”

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 11, 2020
     | 3,567 views

    This is a great promise since one modern anxiety is whether or not we can have any certain knowledge.

    Here is a joke that the choir members can perhaps appreciate: Saint Peter is checking ID’s at the Pearly Gates, and first comes a Texan. “Tell me, what have you done in life?” says St. Peter. The Texan says, “Well, I struck oil, so I became rich, but I didn’t sit on my laurels-I divided all my ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say When Prophecy Is 99% Accurate?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,088 views

    Modern ‘Profits’ are always quick to point out they 'prophesied' a current event before it happened

    I previously gave a message entitled “Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy is Wrong?” As a non-cessationist, I am saddened, but not surprised, to say that there continue to be genuine Bible academics who are making myopic and poor apologetic attempts to rationalize and justify the ...read more

    In the stress of our modern families what can we learn from the family that was Joseph, Mary and Jesus?

    …………….. Bob tells his wife “I want to see our kids every other weekend and once midweek” “But Bob, we're married and live together so you have to see them every day.” Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home. Please go play with your brother. That's basically the reason ...read more

    "Without God..."

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,088 views

    In the 21st Century it’s hard to think of anyone living in our world without some modern convenience. More tragically would be someone living with everything made modern possibily and without the most important thing in his or her life, God.

    "Without God..." Ephesians 2:12 -Dr. E. Winson Butler- Introduction I. Can you imagine it, anyone, someone living without at least one modern convienence in this world of ours. Running water, a bed, a clock. To many this would be horrible. Yet no one takes the time to think what life would be ...read more

    Today we explore one of the most essential aspects of our spiritual warfare series: the nature and tactics of Satan. Understanding our enemy equips us to resist his schemes and walk in the authority Christ has given us.

    Ego: Edging God Out Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Jul 22, 2018
     | 5,288 views

    Jesus left us with a great inheritance. An inheritance of God's presence and His fellowship. However, many of us fail to experience that sweet fellowship because we Edge God Out of our lives. How do we do this? What are the consequences?

    EGO: Edging God Out On Good Friday, we examined whether Jesus left us a will, a will bequeathing everything He had to us, which included the awesome presence of God. We established that Jesus actually did exactly that. John 17:24 (NKJV) Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with ...read more

    The Ideal God Series

     | 4,447 views

    I would suggest that (today) modern man certainly knows how to look for, find and worship the false gods of this world without having to use a hammer or chisel.

    THE IDEAL GOD Text: Exodus 20:1 thru 6 There is a Bible story (found in the book of II Kings) that illustrates for us what can happen when the people of God look for (or try to create) THE IDEAL GOD. The story is about a very young king, named Hezekiah, and how he brought the backsliden nation ...read more

    What Is Our Ambition?

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,209 views

    No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

    We can’t let go of our idols - our possessions, our pride, our plans - without God's help.

    In May 2003, mountain climber Aron Ralston used a pocketknife to amputate his right arm. He had been pinned down by a boulder weighing nearly a thousand pounds in a canyon near Moab, Utah, for five days, and running out of water realized it was his only chance to survive. After cutting off his arm ...read more

    The Fall Of Corrupt Leadership Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025
     | 232 views

    1 Kings 16 is a powerful record of decline—a succession of leaders who ignored God, embraced idols, and ultimately led their people into destruction.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 16:1-34 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 14:34; Psalm 75:6-7; Hosea 4:6; 1 Timothy 5:24-25; Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 INTRODUCTION: 1 Kings 16 chronicles a dark and turbulent season in the leadership of Israel.

    Breaking The Ancestral Covenant PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 27, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 99 views

    This sermon calls us to identify and renounce generational idols, embracing wholehearted devotion to God so that His freedom and love transform our families.

    Friends, every family has a box in the attic—old photos, faded letters, a quilt stitched by steady hands. Alongside those treasures come other hand-me-downs we don’t frame or display: patterns, pressures, and quiet preferences that keep tugging at our hearts. Maybe your household treasured hard ...read more

    This sermon explores the concept of Jesus as the 'bread of life', satisfying our spiritual hunger, and urges us to turn away from false idols and teachings.

    Bread and hunger are everyday occurrences for people around the world. Jesus uses these commonplace and ordinary things to explain the extraordinary Kingdom of God. He reveals to those gathered to Him that HE is in fact the bread of life. Prayer: “Lord thank you for sending the true bread, your ...read more
