Sermons on Mt Zion:

You've Come This Far By Faith

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 9, 2024

Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015

As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

JESUS: First, Last, and Best 1. Introduction There was a man named Muhammad. And there was a man named Jesus Christ. These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more

Training In The Wilderness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 6, 2012

I Kings 17 is a litany of the events that shaped and prepared Elijah for his greatest challenge (facing the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel). How did God use these circumstances to train Elijah... and how does God use events in our lives to train us?

Pondering God’s Goodness

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 3, 2021

Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Feb 23, 2006

For 40 long years, the Marching Orders for Moses had been: “Take another lap around Mt. Sinai.” Now, at last, Joshua received new Marching Orders. The book of Joshua starts with a bang: Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise and go …

Show Me Your Glory

Contributed by Marty Baker on Dec 2, 2019

Moses, after his initial trip to Mt Sinai, asked God to "Show Me Your Glory". Glory is what you are known for. God's response was ... I will show you my goodness. God is known for His Goodness.

Beholding And Reflecting Our God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 13, 2021

After Moses had beheld God's glory on Mt. Sinai, he could not help but reflect God's glory. That is God's will and plan for us. We are supposed to behold God, become like God, then reflect God to others.

A. Our mission as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ is to behold and to reflect our God. 1. Let’s begin with two illustrations – one about beholding and the other about reflecting. B. We are all familiar with the saying: “You Are What You Eat.” 1. I like this meme: “They say you are ...read more

Overcoming The Evil Decree

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jan 20, 2020

The future is filled with possibilities both good and evil. There may be some very unpleasant things ahead for you that you can avoid as Jesus taught in Mt 24:20,21. We will examine a very clear example of overcoming the evil decree found in the book of Esther.

Overcoming The Evil Decree I want to begin by explaining what I mean by an evil decree. An evil decree is something painful and hurtful that may or may not happen unless you take action to stop it. Shortly I will show exactly that from the biblical book of Esther. But as a little background ...read more

For 40 long years, the Marching Orders for Israel had been: “Take another lap around Mt. Sinai.” Now, at last, Joshua received new Marching Orders. "Move into your Promised Land!" Let's do that in the new year.

Psalm 43 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 19, 2020

We are going to examine this psalm as if it was written by godly King Hezekiah, although it could have been written by any of Israel’s godly kings. After David, he was the greatest king ever to sit upon the throne of Judea.
