Breaking Free From Mammon Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 18, 2014

We need to break free from the spirit of Mammon, which causes us to crave more, having less to show for it. Mammon wants to keep you enslaved and distracted from following God fully, but God wants you to be free!

Breaking Free from Mammon Luke 16:9-15 9 "And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust ...read more

Narnia: The Deeper Magic

Contributed by Rich Vincent on Dec 11, 2005

Human beings possess a longing for meaning and transcendence. We long to identify with stories that help us understand our world, others, and ourselves. More often than not, stories empower us by presenting a transcendent dimension that makes life worth l

Loved But Lost Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

This almost perfect moral young man appeared to be as spiritually healthy as one could possibly be, but Jesus saw something in him that called for radical surgery if he was to ever find eternal life.

This is the story of the rich young ruler who, unlike the rich old ruler, Nicodemus, did not come to Jesus by night, but came to Him publicly in the daytime. All three of the synoptic Gospels tell the story, and each add something extra to the total picture. Matthew tells us he was young. Luke ...read more

Jesus Is The Bread Of Life

Contributed by David Mcnally on Jul 21, 2012

According to Calvin the Lord's Supper is a mere Memorial Meal and Jesus cannot come to us because He is in heaven at the right side of the Father, but John 6 and the words spoken at the Last Supper and Paul in 1st Corinthians 11 point that it is more than

John 6:35-6:51 Jesus is the Bread of Life Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, through the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts and minds to the proclamation of your Word, that we might be fed and nourished in faith.

Crowning Of Messiah Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 22, 2022

In this exposition of Zechariah 6:9-15, we have a revelation of Christ as the only man worthy to be High Priest and King of His people. He is the builder of the temple not made with hands. His exaltation is a delight to preach.

Intro In our study of Zechariah, we have examined the eight visions God gave this prophet on February 15, 519 BC. That brings us to our text today in Zechariah 6:9-15. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 10 ‘Receive the gift from the captives — ...read more

How Jesus Ministered To The Self-Righteous

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to relate to people who project a sense of moral superiority? Self righteous people focus more on their goodness than the holiness of God.

Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to relate to people who project a sense of moral superiority? Self righteous people focus more on their goodness than the holiness of God.

How Can The Lord Help You Overcome Any Tendency To Act As A Judge?

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Stand On The Mountain

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Aug 23, 2003

But then comes the time when you sense that the enemy is determined to take everything from you. He wants more than your possessions. He wants to destroy you once & for all.

STAND ON THE MOUNTAIN I want us to look at the prophet, Elijah, today. He was a great man of God, bold, courageous, disciplined and faithful to what the Lord had called Him to do. If we have any aspiring prophets today, this is the man you need to study. The story of Elijah is a challenge to us ...read more

Faithful Thomas

Contributed by James May on Nov 2, 2003

Jesus saw something in Thomas more than the doubts, fears and frustrations that Thomas had. Jesus called him because he saw a man who would have faith to the end.

FAITHFUL THOMAS One of the most misunderstood characters of the New Testament was an Apostle named Thomas Didymus, otherwise known as “doubting Thomas”. We have all heard of “Doubting Thomas”, the disciple who refused to believe in the resurrected Lord until he saw Jesus and felt of the wounds in ...read more

The Follower Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Jon Earls on Mar 26, 2003

This Sermon deals with the issue of becoming a follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus demanded more of his true followers, than to just follow for the "loaves and fishes". He demans our complete devotion.

What are the requirements for be one of His? Does have your name on the roll at a church make you a follower of Christ? Does being ...read more

Discouraged And Depressed Series

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Jun 28, 2004

This sermon looks at how Elijah suffered from depression. It looks at the circumstances that made him more likely to suffer from depression and how God lifted him from that dark depression.

Tell me if you can identify with this song. “Gloom, Despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression and endless misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all, Gloom, despair, and agony on me.” I know that there are times in my past where that could’ve been the theme song of my ...read more

When Heavens Become Brass

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jul 21, 2004

The more clearly we see God’s sovereignty the less perplexed we are by man’s calamities, know that those who bless God in their trials will be blessed by God through their trials.

The message of this week is for those who believe in the God of the suddenlies, those who know that no matter how fast the enemy has been running, just a word from the Master is enough to halt his race.
