One Nation Under Judgment Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 17, 2013

When a nation is under God's judgment, pray as Daniel did with confidence in God's Word; pray confessing our nation's sins; and pray calling on God's mercy.

Why Do The Nations Rage? Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jan 1, 2019

Preached on the Sunday Following Christmas. King Herod tried to kill the Child Jesus and he is just the tip of the iceberg. All the nations of the world and people without Jesus are in rebellion against God. Why are they in rebellion and what is God reaction to them?

This is the final message on the “Why’s of Christmas” and perhaps the more difficult to understand. We explored “Why Christmas?” a month ago. Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more

Lessons From The Father Of A Nation

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 17, 2018

From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation.

One Nation Under God

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 3, 2018

How Godly were ALL of our Founding Fathers and what our Declaration of Independence and Constitution does for all United States Citizens.

The first is found in Genesis 12:2, where it is said, “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” The other verse is Deuteronomy ...read more

When A Nation Divorces God

Contributed by Johnny Carver on Nov 8, 2008

Using the time when God’s people rejected Samuel as their leader and demanded a king to lead them as an example of how our nation is ever turning away from Godly principles.

Scripture: 1 Samuel 8:1-22 Title: “When A Nation Divorces God” Introduction: Here in 1 Sam. 8 we see a great change taking place.

One Nation Under God

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on May 17, 2017

Is our nation still a nation "Under God?" Was it ever a nation "Under God?" Some would have you believe that it was founded on secular principles but they are wrong and you can tell them so.

What does “Under God” mean anyway? As a country, have we forgotten? Did it once mean that we were under His control? Were we under His protection? Were we in His Spirit? Does it yet describe us as a nation? For the most part, we are living to see our country be destroyed from within. In 1 ...read more
