    Discover Peace Series

     | 3,422 views

    Peace is an illusive element in human life, but one we all crave. The Psalmist reminds us that peace is a gift from God and comes from placing our faith in God.

    Psalm 46:1-11 “Peace” INTRODUCTION Peace is a condition that is universally craved by humankind, yet it is also a condition that is very illusive. Few people and few nations experience true peace. During the history of humankind, it has been estimated that there have been only fourteen years ...read more

    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,259 views

    A sermon that shows all of us have a little King Herod in us, but Christ brings a sword to put that nature to death so a new nature can rise up.

    To many of us, we are the center of our own universe, aren’t we? To many of us, we are the only one who counts. And, too many of us think that God is our co-pilot. Let me start by saying that if God is your co-pilot, you had better change places with Him as quickly as you can. In MATTHEW ...read more

    What Most Christians Don't Know

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 30, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,396 views

    Most Christians truly don't understand who they are now that they are born again. They have the life and nature of God living in them, a life and nature that Satan is powerless against.

    What Most Christians Don’t Know When I read what many Christians post on social media, it’s clear to me that many truly don’t know who they are. A person posted a video of a gentleman singing “Jesus will fix it” on Facebook – a song I love and sang in church many years ago. One of the lyrics ...read more

    Is It Possible That Christians Are Not Sinners Saved By Grace - Part 1? Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 15, 2018
     | 6,662 views

    This is the first of three messages that will ultimately answer the question "Now that we are born again with God's life and nature and no longer have a sin nature why do we sin?"

    Fifteen years ago I learned a simple truth from scripture. It’s a truth that explains why Christians commit sin after they are born again. It’s a truth that disagrees with a teaching that goes virtually unchallenged in the Body of Christ. The teaching I’m talking about is “I am a sinner saved by ...read more

    Retaliation Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 19, 2022
     | 2,104 views

    The spirit of retaliation is natural to the unregenerate mind. It belongs to the animal part of our nature. It creeps into our earliest feelings as little children. And it is one of the most difficult of evils to overcome.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:38-42 (Retaliation) MATTHEW 5:38-42, NIV 38 You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone ...read more

    How To Be Invisible Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,518 views

    There is a way to do wonderful things for God and fade into the background. Our human nature wants to get the credit and be the focus. Our godly nature tells us otherwise. Learn how to be an active part of God’s plan by disappearing.

    Where have we been so far? Chapter 5: rely and focus on the Lord, not on ourselves. Make, keep, and fix broken relationships as God fixed the broken relationship with us. Now in Chapter 6 we move to being an active part in focusing others on God—the source of life. What’s the use of having ...read more

     | 8,454 views

    In explaining life following Jesus (discipleship), Jesus uses two elements from everyday life to explain His expectations and the results of being a disciple. The first is salt. The second is light.

    Look like Light, Taste Like Salt MATTHEW 5:13-16 #discipleship READ MATTHEW 5:13-16 [congregation reads along aloud] "You are the salt of the earth.

     | 6,420 views

    Jesus knew that by concentrating on twelve disciples He would leave this world, but leave behind a legacy. Here are eight elements of Christ’s disciple-making strategy

    Are You Making Disciples as Jesus Did? (John 8:31-38) Illustration: John Warr, an 18th-century apprentice shoemaker, was determined to be a faithful witness for Christ. Another apprentice was hired, and John repeatedly talked to him about spiritual things. That new worker, however, didn’t want to ...read more

    Triumph In Suffering Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 4, 2007
     | 4,199 views

    God urges us to consider four elements of the Lord’s victory: 1) His triumphant sin-bearing, 2) sermon, 3) salvation, and 4) supremacy.

    On the events of this week, John Piper noted: All of us have sinned against God, not just against man. This is an outrage ten thousand times worse than the collapse of the 35W bridge. That any human is breathing at this minute on this planet is sheer mercy from God. God makes the sun rise and the ...read more

    When we treat each other like dirt we are denying that God has made them in his image. We are eliminating the spiritual element of their existence.

    When the world was six days old God decided that he was ready to pull out the big guns. He rolled up his sleeves and created humanity. He took some dust and breathed on it, and the bible tells us that the dust became man. He called the man of the ground Adam, which was a good name for him, but I ...read more
