Beware Of Halloween Alternatives! Series

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 16, 2021

Ultimately, Christian participation in Halloween is a matter of conscience before God. Whatever level of Halloween participation you choose, you must honor God by keeping yourself separate from the world and by showing mercy to those who are perishing.

Halloween Evangelism There are several different ways Christians will engage in Halloween evangelism. Some will adopt a "No Participation" policy. As Christian parents, they don't want their kids participating in spiritually compromising activities—listening to ghost stories and ...read more

Snoring Christians

Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 1, 2020

Why this spiritual lethargy and carelessness? Where are the tears over the perishing? Where is the groaning? Where is the fasting and hard prayer for our loved ones who are lost, people we work with and for people who have never heard the Gospel??

Snoring Christians Judges 16:14 So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the ...read more

Where Do You Stand? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022

This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

Two Christmas Stories Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 25, 2018

For the real message of Christmas is the one we used to see plastered over every end-zone: God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten son, that we might not perish, but have everlasting life.

Christmas 2018 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the ...read more

Athletic Gospel

Doors

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 14, 2025

Even in judgment, God provided mercy. Just as Noah's family went through one door to be saved, so must we go through the one door, Jesus. Those outside of Christ will perish, but those in Christ will be saved.

Re-Visioning

Contributed by Tim Smith on Mar 9, 2009

Our Scripture today is from Proverbs 29:18 “Without a vision the people perish.” With a clear vision from Christ, no ocean of difficulty is too great. Without it, we rarely move beyond our current boundaries or comfort zones.

The next year they elected a town government. The third year the town government planned to build a road five ...read more

Urgency

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015

The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more

Becoming World Class Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

God was the God of Israel and Jonah wanted to keep it that way. He did not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry of the pagan world finding out about the real God. Let them perish with their stupid man-made idols. That is what they deserve.

Trying to be a world class Christian can be a world class pain. Ralph Hult learned this the hard way. This Nebraska born Swede at age 32 went to Africa as a missionary, but on his first furlough in 1926 he was told there was no money to send him back. So he started a fruit farm near ...read more

Palm Sunday 2018

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 26, 2018

God has provided the way for us to escape sin (John 14:6), because He wants us to be with Him and none to perish (2 Peter 3:9). His desire is that we would worship Him and spend eternity with Him.
