Sermons on Not Too Far:

The Hardest Chapter In The Bible Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Finding sermons on this chapter is like trying to find children who eat no candy on Halloween. They are rare. It is filled with too many puzzles and mysteries. It is one of those sections of Scripture that people hope will go away if they ignore it,

At the Southern tip of England there is a well-known spot called Land's End. Fredrick Harris in his book Spires Of The Spirit says there is a house there on the edge of the cliff with a sign, which reads, "The last house and the first house in England." It is both at the same time. ...read more

The Power Of Christian Community

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

It’s easy to get proud. It’s easy to want to show off. It's too common in the church. Instead, let’s choose to be very humble, serving each other gently.

I’ve been wrestling with God lately on some things, battling depression, anxiety, even questioning God, his will and purposes. And I’m so grateful for my wife who has been there day in and day out challenging my poor thinking patterns. Reciting God’s word to me. She brings the truth up, and just ...read more

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

When Our Heart Walk After Our Eyes

Contributed by James Dina on Jun 25, 2021

Watch your eyes and heart with great diligence. Guard your eyes lest they ensnare your heart. Look to your hearts, lest they be ensnared by your eyes. Where the eye is full of adultery, the heart is full of it too.

WHEN OUR HEART WALK AFTER OUR EYES " If my step has turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot has cleaved to mine hands;" (JOB 31:7) Can the heart walk after the eyes? OR Can the eye misled the heart? That's the question that comes across your ...read more

The Power Of The Gospel

Contributed by Michael Mays on Aug 31, 2021

"Good news" is not a naturally-occurring phenomenon in our fallen world, and our flesh is given to mistrust or take it seriously--especially news "too good to be true." The regular reaction to the Gospel is no different.

God's Great Thoughts Of You Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on Sep 9, 2023

Before we entered the world, God knew us. Humans were created to be in the image of God. We had no idea what God prepared for us. God's thoughts of us are too numerous to count.

We have a dog which my wife rescued from the street. One day when she came home from work Charmain noticed a dog outside of our gate. The dog looked very frail, weak, and dirty.

The Blessing

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

When something good happened to us or to someone we know, we associate it to blessing, and we feel like blessing others too. So, what blessing really is? What does it mean to be blessed by God?

A New Thing Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.

Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more

The Cost Of Neglecting Spiritual Legacy

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 17, 2025
