    In today’s passage in James 1:19-26 we are going to learn that for religion to be pure and faultless it be based on listening and obeying the word which means keeping a tight reign on one’s tongue, taking care of the widows and orphans and to keep from being polluted by the world.

    The Word of Truth James 1:19-26 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Does your form of religion get you closer to God?

    Speak To Your Dry Bones

    In Ezekiel 37, God shows us that what we see here in the natural has its beginnings in the realm of the spirit. And we bring those things from the spirit into the natural by the words we speak.

    Turn with me to Ezekiel 37. We know that confessing the Word is what we’re supposed to do as God’s sons and daughters. As I was thinking about this, God brought to mind Genesis 1 where God speaks and in Exodus where God told Moses to tell Aaron to speak. For me there are three passages of ...read more

    The Hope Of A Healthy Child Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 18, 2022

     | 4,271 views

    Left to themselves, children tend to grow up wild and untamed. And instead of growing to the full potential, they often grow up wounded and broken adults. What can we do to give them a life filled with hope, peace and a future?

    OPEN: In the 1700s, there was a poet named Samuel Coleridge was talking with a friend who’d come to visit one day. During the conversation they got around to the subject of children. The visitor said “I believe children should be given the freedom to make all their own decisions. Parents should not ...read more

    "Stand By That Which Is Decided" -- Part 2

     | 19,235 views

    This is the second of two messages about the legal principle of stares decisis, which means stand by that which is decided. This message is primarily scripture that the show how stares decisis the Bible really is.

    A few weeks ago, I delivered a message that talked about a principle in the legal system that often governs the outcome of many courtroom cases. It’s called stares decisis. I gave the example of an attorney standing before the court, or judge, arguing her case. When an In the course of doing so, ...read more

    Paul teaches us in this passage about making wise choices based on God’s priorities. He writes, "Do you know that if you continually surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which lea

    What Are Your Priorities? (Rom. 6:16) Illustration:Haddon Robinson points out that one old recipe for rabbit started out with this injunction: "First catch the rabbit."

    Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide Series

     | 31,764 views

    If you could spend your entire life listening to and obeying your God-given conscience, you could live a perfect life. But the Bible says we have ALL sinned and we fall short of the glory of God. All of us end up with a messed-up conscience.

    INTRODUCTION This is the penultimate message in this series on spurious Bible verses. Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.

    The Exalted Christ

    Contributed by Steve Klein on May 19, 2015
     | 8,819 views

    Philippians 2:5-11 teaches that, although Jesus existed in the form of God, He humbled Himself to obey His Father and die on the cross. Because of this, God the Father has exalted Jesus above every name and reign. All are obliged to give homage to Him!

    The Exalted Christ Intro: The level of glory and majesty Jesus experienced on earth as a man was not what it had been before His incarnation, nor what it would be after His resurrection. John 17:5 gives us a glimpse of the difference before, during and after His earthly life -- "And now, O ...read more

    Forgetting And Remembering God

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 23, 2015
     | 9,945 views

    When we intentionally set up a structure to help us remember God, we are more likely to obey Him and trust Him. When we forget God through neglect or unrealized good intentions, we are more likely to disobey Him and trust in our own ability.

    Forgetting and Remembering God (Deuteronomy 8:1-20) 1. When it comes to counting our blessings, we need to get them in perspective. We often do not appreciate them until they are taken away.

    The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,581 views

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more

    In case you have not figured it out, my message today is not actually: Disobey Your Mother. Not completely anyway. I would like to leave you with a principle from this passage that I believe is a needed word for our day: Be careful to whom you listen and to whom you obey.

    DISOBEY YOUR MOTHER GENESIS 27:1-45 #mothersday2022 INTRODUCTION Today is Mother’s Day which is a Sunday where ever since 1907 folks gather and focus on the importance and impact of mothers.

    What Do You Have In Your House? Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 16, 2025
     | 503 views

    This powerful story reminds us that God often works with what we already have, not with what we wish we had. It teaches us that when we obey divine instructions and place our “little” in God's hands, He multiplies it beyond our imagination.

    WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 Supporting Texts: Exodus 4:2; Luke 6:38; Philippians 4:19; Psalm 23:1; Isaiah 43:19 INTRODUCTION: This account opens with a heartbreaking story of a widow, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets.

    Jonah's Word From The Lord

    Contributed by Richard Stevens on Jul 29, 2025
     | 277 views

    Jonah received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population in Niveneh. Jonah was tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. We have received a Word from the Lord for the sinful population of Planet Earth. We are tasked to warn them and call them to the Lord. WILL WE REFUSE... or OBEY?

    INTRODUCTION Please turn to Jonah 1 Some consider the book of Jonah to be an allegory or, perhaps, a parable. However, II Kings 14:25 identifies Jonah as a real person, a Jewish prophet from Gath Hepher in Zebulun (near Nazareth), who ministered in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the ...read more

    Joseph adopted and "raised" Jesus because God determined that Joseph was the right man for the job. What was it about Joseph that made him right for the challenge of raising our Savior?
