    Father Abraham Had Many Sons

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 454 views

    Jesus used a familiar Jewish story to show who the true children of Abraham are. The only bridge across the chasm of sin is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    (Father Abraham and Lazarus) If you could overhear a live conversation between heaven and hell, would you lean in? Many people read Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus as though He lowered a microphone into the afterlife to let us hear a dialogue across eternity. For centuries preachers ...read more

    The Bible has much to say about obedience. In fact, obedience is an essential part of the Christian faith. Jesus Himself was “obedient unto death, even death on a cross”

    The Joy Of Obedience The Bible has much to say about obedience. In fact, obedience is an essential part of the Christian faith. Jesus Himself was “obedient unto death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). For Christians, the act of taking up our cross and following Christ (Matthew 16:24) ...read more

    John the Apostle tells us we know what real love is—not by looking to Hollywood, not by consulting philosophy, but by looking to Jesus Christ and His cross.

    Go! And Live Out His Love - 1 John 3:16 1 John 3:16 (NLT): "We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters."

    To Whom Are You Yielding?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 21, 2020
     | 6,781 views

    Most of us understand that when a person yields, he’s allowing the other person “to go.” This message is a somewhat detailed look at Romans 6 and what it means to yield according to scripture.

    According to the Bible, Satan cannot force a person to do anything and God will not force a person to do anything. The title of the message is “To Whom Are You Yielding?” I am going to paint a image of “yielding” that we know and understand, but it is not the yielding that’s described in the ...read more

    Do you know this man who died on a cross, so that you may live forever? Do we realize the Gift that is offered to us by His unselfish act?

    Do you know this Jesus? HHM Pastor Jim Parisi 8-18-02 John 4:7-15 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a ...read more

     | 14,866 views

    A Memorial Day Message. Joshua commanded that stones be set as a memorial at the crossing of the Jordan River. As "living stones", we also are a memorial to what Christ has done for us.

    “Lest We Forget” Joshua 4:1-9, 19-24 INTRODUCTION: Tomorrow isn’t just a holiday … a day set aside for picnics, family fun … a day off from work. Tomorrow is Memorial Day.

    Pentecost 7: The condition of humanity is depravity - unrighteousness before God. Even though this is grievous to God, He nevertheless calls us to repentance through his Word and the Cross.

    Yesterday Sofi and I watched an old Joan Crawford movie on TV. The movie was named Mildred Pierce. It tells the story of a woman who wanted to give her two girls everything that she never had. And so she worked her fingers to the bone to make extra money so that she could afford a piano and singing ...read more

     | 3,346 views

    The world teaches us to only consider Me, Mysel, and I. Let us dethrone self as God deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus.

    Dieing To Live At a party a woman said this: “My husband and I managed to be happy together for 20 years. I guess this is because we’re both in love with the same person.” The husband of this marriage is a picture of the self absorbed and self-centered society we have today . The wife even ...read more

    Many Christians balk at the words "He descended into hell" and wonder if this is really taught in Scripture. I’m attempting to clarify what occurred between the cross and the empty tomb.

    “I Believe” Sermon Series on the Apostles Creed “The Conquering Victory” (“He Descended into Hell”) I Peter 3:18-22 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts A victory is an experience we don’t forget, whether it’s a military, sports or personal triumph.

    No more powerful conjunction is found in the scriptures. These two words will climb any mountain, cross any river, traverse any valley, and give you a song to sing at midnight.

    Introduction: No more powerful conjunction is found in the scriptures. These two words will climb any mountain, cross any river, traverse any valley, and give you a song to sing at midnight.

    Don’t you hate empty promiese. God gave us promises of an empty cross, empty tomb, and empty clothes as a reminder that Jesus rose from the grave.

    Empty Promises Luke 24:1-7 Reading: Matthew 28:1-8 Intro: Don’t you hate empty promises? The world often makes promises and then does not keep them.

    On the cross Jesus said "Father , into your hands I commit my spirit." Why did Jesus have to say this and what do thee words teach us.

    Introductory Considerations 1. One of hardest things for us to do is to let go or give up that which means the most to us. 2. As parents we find it so hard to let go or give up our children when they leave home or get married. As a husband or wife we struggle with giving up our spouse when we see ...read more

    Craving Evil And The Lottery

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 12, 2002
    based on 50 ratings
     | 3,910 views

    Israel’s history helps us understand the dangers of sinful patterns today. Craving evil is a root that bears bad fruit. Only the cross can deliver us.

    Bill Cosby once said, “I’m proud to be an American, because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth, as long as he has two pieces of bread.” As Paul approaches eating meat offered to idols here in chapter 10, he gets a running start by pointing to ancient Israel’s history. For our ...read more

    People wanted to see Jesus & Lazarus. They wanted hope and assurance beyond the grave and Jesus was the answer...so he was lifted up on the cross. He is still the answer today.

     | 4,266 views

    Self-denial and spiritual discipline are not popular topics in today’s culture. But a Christianity without a cross is not Christianity at all. This sermon launches a fifty day focus on spiritual disciplines.
