Sermons on Obedience To God Fir:

It's Time

Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 9, 2007

Esther is a great study on God’s timing and our obedience of faith. What has God got scheduled for your life?

Esther God loves to take that which is nothing in the eyes of the world and work his greatest wonders. As Paul was praying for God to remove what he called “a thorn in my flesh,” God said: 2 Cor. 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most ...read more

Seeing Jesus' Transfiguration Is Critical! Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 21, 2014

The Disciples seeing Jesus transfigured before their very eyes revealed not only the promise of the Law, the fact that EVERYTHING the Father puts into motion is fulfilled, but it shows us that Jesus really IS the Son of God!

God’s Shepherd Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 26, 2010

We Christians anticipate the return of Jesus the Christ. We are not always clear on what will occur when He returns. The message is a consideration of His purpose in coming again.

“Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.” ...read more

The Curse Of The Law

Contributed by John Lowe on May 18, 2016

Salvation could never come by obedience to the Law, because the Law brings a curse, not a blessing. The Law demands obedience, and this means obedience in all things. The Law is not a “religious cafeteria” where people can pick and choose.

Tom Lowe 5/17/16 The Curse of the Law (3.10-12) Galatians 3.10-12 (KJV) 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is ...read more

Excuses

Contributed by Kyle Gray on May 18, 2009

A message about the excuses we make to avoid God’s plan for our lives. A parallel is drawn to Moses accepting God’s calling on his life in Exodus 3-4.

If there’s any sermon topic we can relate to it’s this one! Everyone knows exactly what we’re dealing with here before I even say a word. We’re all experts on this one. We have all majored in this, we have Ph.D’s in the field of excuses! And I am as qualified as anyone to teach this ...read more

Offerings: The Test Of Our Faith

Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 18, 2012

Perhaps nothing brings greater joy and also tests our relationship with God like offerings. Let's see how God used offerings as the ultimate test for His friend Abraham.

A certain mom & dad worked hard and saved to pay for their son to go to college. He blew off his freshman year. He was irresponsible, didn't study, made terrible grades, squandered his money, & finally came back home. His parents told him, “If you decide to go back to school you’ll ...read more

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.

Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
