Sermons on Old English:

Stumbling Blocks Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 6, 2022

The focus of this sermon is how the shift from the Old Testament Laws to the freedom made available through Jesus Christ became a stumbling block to the Jewish converts, and how "matters of opinion" can also become stumbling blocks to believers today.

If you want to follow along, the primary passage we will be looking at is Romans 14. We will be skipping around a little bit, but that is the area we will be in. The good news is that my sermon will probably be a little bit shorter than normal. The bad news is it might be very convicting for ...read more

There Are Hypocrites Among Us

Contributed by Don Campbell on Mar 15, 2023

Jesus strongly denounced the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. Before we point our finger at others, we might want to ponder the old saying, "When you point your finger at others, remember, there are three fingers pointing back at you."

HYPOCRITE INTRODUCTION A. The charge, hypocrite strikes fear into the hearts of conscientious Christians. B. While not denying that there are hypocrites among us, we need to remember the old saying, “When you point your finger at others, there are three fingers pointing back at ...read more

The Clouds Show The Glory Series

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 10, 2023

The Son of Man is coming with the Clouds. God's presence manifests in a singular cloud in the Old Testament and up to the ascension. With Jesus' coming, it is clouds, plural. Jesus comes to show His Glory in those who believe—the sons of God.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2022

The term "The Day of the LORD" is used often in the Old Testament and in the New Testament. It is the time God intervenes openly in this world after the Rapture, in the Tribulation. A dreadful time. We look at all the references for that in a series. Revelation sits right in there.

We Need Praise And Thanksgiving

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 21, 2015

Praise isn't always easy. Thanksgiving doesn't always come easily. However, humanity is hardwired for praise. The question is where the praise is directed. This new translation of Psalm 66 offers a fresh look at Old Testament praise for NT believers.

Eli's Sign

Contributed by William Akehurst on Feb 28, 2015

Eli's Sign is a real life experience of a 3 year old and his influence on his family that illustrates GOD'S love for us. Out of the mouth of babes...comes profound insight. Perhaps that is why GOD says we need to come to HIM as children.

Heaven is so much more than something to think about when we're old. The mission Christ calls his body to has a reason, an end and a destination. We're working for something and toward something. That something we call heaven.

Are You Foolish?

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Jan 6, 2015

No matter your status, as long as you are called by His name or you are a member of His vineyard, Matt 7:21-27 calls you a fool if you meddle your will with the Father's will or you have retained your old identity in following Him.

In the part of the world where I came from, it is insulting to direct such a question at an individual. The truth is that our response to any statement goes beyond the surface meaning. And in this case, we believe that before you could direct such a question at an individual, you have ...read more

God Pointing To God

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2019

In the Bible we see a wonderful example in the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament He points to God (the Father). In the New Testament He points of Jesus. He never points to Himself. What a beautiful example and source of empowerment He is for us! PTL!!

God Pointing to God Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … John 14:23-24 “Jesus said, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching.

Born Again

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 1, 2018

If we are to be true Christians we must change from our old self into something new. This transformation takes place when we are born again by water and spirit. Its not enough just to say we are Christians we must be born again.

If we are to be Christians we are called to change from our old self into something new I want to read a few scriptures about that change before we get into our sermon text for today. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NASB) in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being ...read more
