    Mother’s Day used to be such an easy Sunday for preachers because we could preach sermons filled with warm, happy illustrations. Well - maybe not for everybody.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) ILL. A man came home from work one afternoon & found his three small children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud. Some of their toys were scattered across the lawn & on the driveway. ...read more

    If you are in a trial of your faith because you have been faithful to God, you can worship your way out through the same faith!

    If You Worship Your Way In, You Can Worship Your Way Out! Dan 3:19-26 19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.

    based on 134 ratings
     | 10,526 views

    Why do we need to recover? Because we have lost our biblical way of thinking and have not put something better in its place.

    HOW THEN SHALL WE RECOVER OUR BIBLICAL MIND By Jerry Falwell INTRODUCTION My good friend, Francis Schaeffer wrote a challenging book How Then Shall We Live? which challenged us to ground our daily living in the Word of God. I have taken a page out of his book to call this sermon How Then Shall ...read more

    Amazing Forgiveness

     | 6,870 views

    God not only forgave our sins, but paid the debt on our behalf. Because of His amazing grace, God invests His righteousness to our account.

    Amazing Forgiveness Lets begin by looking at Romans 6:12-16: 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and ...read more

    The Sacrificial Act

     | 4,429 views

    We have life because the grave could not contain it’s prey. Paul told us that Christ conquered even the last enemy - death.

    On Good Friday we spoke on Isaiah 53: 4-6 discussing the Universal Depravity of man and the Universal Sufficiency of Christ. Sometimes Christians find that concept hard to grasp. Dr. Barnhouse used this illustration to portray this simple truth to his congregation and I would like to ...read more

    I know people say we have to change because of the times but I serve a savior who never changes and neither do His principles.

    GIVE ME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION Text James 1:27 “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” A person must keep himself unspotted from the world.

    Lord, I Want To See Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 19,890 views

    We have to (1) "see" with our heart and have faith in God, and (2) ask with all our heart, because without prayer nothing will be accomplished.

    Hardships and sufferings are a real fact in life. We see one today in our passage – a blind man. In those times, blindness was far worse that it is today. The blind man was reduced to begging because there was no help or work for such people. You can imagine how difficult it must be for them, ...read more

    Changed

     | 5,987 views

    In the previous passage, we were told that the body is buried in corruption because it is going to decay; but it is raised with such a nature that it cannot decay. With this change there is no decay or death in heaven.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: It was not until 1850 that our world reached the one billion mark. By 1930 we reached two billion. It took only thirty more years for the world’s population to reach three billion. We have now arrived at six billion. Statisticians tell us that by the end of this century ...read more

    Echoes Of The Flood Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,813 views

    Why does life continue to exist on earth? Its because God made a covenant with us. Chapter 9 also shows the reemergence of worship and sin.

    Genesis 8-9 is the rebooting of creation - there are some strong ties to Genesis 1-3 where God created the earth - here He restarts or reboots it - beginning with the flood (remember "the Spirit brooded over the water"?) then with land, plants, animals, and man. It is the restarting of worship, ...read more

    Faith needs to be exercised. We can have faith in the Lord because His authority is absolute. Our faith in God is expressed through prayer and action.

    Exercise is important. To stay fit and healthy, to stay strong, we’re told to exercise regularly. You go to the gym and you’ll see all kinds of equipment to tone your body muscle and help you stay strong and healthy. In the spiritual realm, we need that too. We say we have faith in God.
