Sermons on Never Be Defeated:

Compassionate Grace

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 20, 2016

Jesus was never to busy to stop and help whoever was in need. Wether a tax collector, or a rich young ruler. He showed grace to everyone, all the way to the cross. If we call ourselves Christian and we are Christ, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?

Compassionate Grace Matthew 18:35-42 NKJ 35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, ...read more

Praying Like Jesus

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 20, 2014

"Our Father" I find it interesting here that Jesus would teach us this phrase because Jesus Himself never uses that phrase."In heaven" Jesus reminds us here that we are not approaching an earthly father that is limited in his capabilities or his presence.

Throw Some Wood On The Fire

Contributed by David Radcliff on Nov 30, 2017

When are people going to wake up and realize that just being a good moral person isn’t going to get you to heaven? We need a Spiritual Fire in our Churches, but we will never have it unless Someone Throws Some Wood on the Fire.

THROW SOME WOOD ON THE FIRE Proverbs 26:20 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out 56% of U.S. adults now say it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values, up from 49% who expressed this view in 2011. This increase reflects the continued growth in the share of the ...read more

What Would Christmas Be...with Out Christ?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Dec 14, 2014

If Jesus had never been born…how would we be affected, for one thing... groups wouldn't be threatening to sue over the phrase of Merry Christmas and replacing it with happy holidays... Because there would be NO CHRISTMAS..NO JOY...And NO HOPE EITHER!

*before you read any further...I want to acknowledge that the outline of this sermon is from John Gastons sermon "What if Jesus had never been born" It's a great word and one that can be adapted to everyone's personal preferences as I have I believe it is one that every pastor should ...read more

Gifts In Unexpected Boxes

Contributed by Jack Russell on Feb 9, 2019

Forrest Gump's mother said: "life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." Sometimes you don't even get what the box says is in it.

Great Gifts in Unexpected Boxes A Christmas Meditation I like to buy my wife extravagant gifts for Christmas…like socks. You might laugh, but I’m not talking just any socks. I’m talking heavy winter socks, thick socks. You know, the kind where a single sock can block a dryer vent. Besides ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 48 – Restoration And Rejection – How Do They Interact? Lamentations 5:20-22 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 16, 2025

This is the last message in Lamentations, and part of it looks at the survivors and part of it draws pointers for us too. God never rejects a penitent sinner or one of His children who has gone astray. May the Lord bless each one who studies this remarkable book.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 48 – RESTORATION AND REJECTION – HOW DO THEY INTERACT? Lamentations 5:20-22 In this message we end the series in Lamentations and it has been very revealing to see so much material in this neglected bible book. There have been lessons all the way through. How ...read more

Satanic Legal Grounds And Access Points - Sexual Perversion Series

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 4, 2023

Sexual pleasure was never created by Satan, but he has hijacked and perverted it to advance his diabolical agendas of destroying mankind. I am taking this much time on this access point because this is one of Satan`s major tripping points against majority of humanity.

Neither give place to the devil. ( Ephesians 4:27) One of the outstanding trademarks of every form of false religion, cults, occultic, and secret societies, or satanic group is sexual perversion. Sexual perversion is one of Satan`s major access point and weapon of mass destruction. He used it to ...read more

Self-Humbling - Matthew 6:16-18 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2024

Fasting is never commanded in the NT, yet all the godliest people in the Bible did it. If it is important, why isn't it discussed in the epistles? If it is not important, why did Jesus do it? And why did he promise reward if we do it?

Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to men ...read more

Wake Up! Jesus Is Coming!

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 15, 2024

We’re look at NINE SIGNS OF THE SOON COMING OF JESUS that have never happened before. These are signs that, if we’re not braindead, ought to be like flashing lights or sirens wailing – warning us to “all-hands-on-deck” readiness for the Second Coming.

WAKE UP! JESUS IS COMING! Rom. 13:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about these two men, Archie & Jack, who’d debated their whole lives whether Jesus was white or whether He was black. Archie was sure He was white and Jack was sure He was black. 2. As fate would have it, they died ...read more

Idleness

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 5, 2024

The Lord said if you give unto the least in my kingdom you have done it unto Me! While we are to never tire from doing good and giving to the poor and needy, Apostle Paul tells us to ostracize those who refuse to work.

America Today: Calling Evil Good And Good Evil Updated

Contributed by Lee Houston on Feb 26, 2024

Being an old man, I have lived through many changes, changes that caused Americans to disagree, but never have I seen anything like the division and outright hatred we see today. As a pastor, I see our basic problems as religious.

But For The Love Of God

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 18, 2020

We often hear people says "For the love of God....." when they are expressing frustrations. In this message I hope to convince Christians that this statement should never be made in frustration, but with a sense of awe as we reflect on God's love for us.

But For The Love Of God Scriptures: John 3:16; Matthew 4:8-10; 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The last time that I spoke to you I delivered a message about knowing THE Name. The name everyone will bow to and confess is THE Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In that message I stressed the importance and ...read more

Guilty As Sin Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 30, 2020

This first beatitude is the foundation for the other eight. Once we learn that we can not hop high enough for God’s holiness, we can never be good enough, then the fact that God has extended us grace and mercy become reasons for worship and thankfulness.

God Can Use All Of Us

Contributed by Gene Newberry on Mar 8, 2021

As we look forward to this new year, we must only look back long enough to recognize the areas we need to change. Our past should never dictate who we are only should help develop who we can become.

The great Italian violinist, violist, guitarist, and composer, Niccolo Paganini willed his marvelous violin to city of Genoa on condition that it must never be played.

Thank God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

People can even take a miracle for granted, and not be thankful. Not being thankful is one of mankind's greatest sins. It shows that man is blind to the grace of God. To go through life and never say thank you to God is to live the ultimate in the cursed life.

Ed Spencer was a hero of one of the worst shipwrecks ever on Lake Michigan. He was studying for the ministry at the Methodist Seminary in Evanston, Ill. On the night of Sept. 8, 1860 he was awakened by the shouts of other students in the dormitory. A shipwreck had taken place not far away. And ...read more
