    based on 1 rating
     | 14,585 views

    Jesus said, "I Am the Door," and "I am the Good Shepherd." But what does this mean for us? 1. Jesus wants to guide us. 2. Jesus wants to guard us. 3. Jesus wants to give to us.

    Jesus is the Door and the Good Shepherd John 10:1-18 Series: The Great I Am Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - Feb. 9, 2014 *Did Jesus ever claim to be God? -- The answer is: Yes He did, very often and very clearly.

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 23, 2015
    based on 9 ratings
     | 80,999 views

    I am giving up Lent for Lent this year, at least the way the Church typically does Lent. Lord is not interested in what I give up for just 40 days and return to it. He is interested in me giving up the sins in my life which will make Easter more joyous

    TITLE: GIVING UP LENT FOR LENT SCRIPTURE: ST LUKE 9:22-24 / II CORINTHIANS 13:5-6 Although Easter is the most significant of the Christian holidays it does not enjoy the kind of enthusiastic fanfare afforded Christmas or even Thanksgiving. Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on ...read more

    The Proof Of Easter

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 30, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,880 views

    In a time when many deny the existence of Jesus and the fact He arose, we offer the biblical story and compare it to some of the worldly explanations about Jesus and the tomb, using the truth found in facts.

    There are many thoughts as to what actually happened on that first Easter so many years ago, or what it actually means to us today. That is what we will address today. So, if you would, please open your Bibles to LUKE 24. We will begin there, but first . . . What do you think a good sermon ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,702 views

    Nehemiah had something beyond the authority that went with being a governor. He had something that had taken him over time, actually, and we learn later on about twelve years to fully earn. He had credibility

    The Credibility Factor Nehemiah 5:6-5:19 Around 586 BC Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Babylonians, came into Jerusalem, came into Israel and destroyed the temple and destroyed the walls and took a bunch of guys prisoner, to put an end to Israel as a super power.

     | 7,349 views

    There are 4 times in the Bible where God says He’ll open a window in heaven. This doesn’t sound very impressive, until you stop to think God’s windows are gigantic in scope.See how you can profit from God's windows.

    GOD HAS SOME BIG WINDOWS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I read about one crotchety old couple, Victor & Shirley, who’d been married for 65 years, being interviewed by the Huntsville Item. 2.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,352 views

    It's hard not to use superlatives when discussing the Easter story. In this story we see...1) the darkest hour in all scripture; 2) the biggest discovery in all scripture; and 3) the loveliest word in all scripture (for one of it's characters).

    Superlatives of the Easter Story Chuck Sligh April 20, 2014 (A PowerPoint presentation is available for this sermon upon request at chucksligh@hotmail.com).

     | 70,768 views

    Bathsheba is probably one of the least likely people you ever thought of as a good example for mothers, but it is time you heard the rest of her story.

    Bathsheba, a Mother to Model This Mother’s Day I have chosen someone very different to speak on. In fact, in my research I have not found anyone who has ever chosen to use Bathsheba as an example for Mother’s Day, for some reason we are able to grant David forgiveness and restoration, but ...read more

    1 Peter 3:8-9 gives us a descriptive picture of how we should treat each other. It offers a positive look at how we should act, a negative look at how we shouldn't act, and, a look at how our love for one another will bring a blessing.

    Today, let's take a look at some instruction from the Holy Scriptures on differing attitudes. Attitudes what a difference they make in every part of our lives!

    In the call of Levi we learn how Jesus saves sinners.

    Scripture Luke wrote his Gospel so that we would know that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. In the early chapters of his Gospel, Luke showed Jesus seeking and saving those with physical ailments. In today’s narrative, however, Luke showed Jesus taking the initiative to reach a sinner ...read more
