Sermons on Old Gate:

Never Forsaken

Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 26, 2019

This psalm was composed when David was an old man (Psalm 37:25); and apart, therefore, from the fact that it is the work of an inspired writer, it has special value as expressing the result of the observations of a long life on a point which perplexes the good in every age. Barnes

NEVER FORSAKEN SCRIPTURE: Psalm 37:25 “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” INTRODUCTION: This psalm was composed when David was an old man (Psalm 37:25); and apart, therefore, from the fact that it is the work of an inspired ...read more

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

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. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him. “He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These ...read more

Forward In Faith: Free From Sin, Not Free To Sin Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 14, 2014

‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...read more

Contributed by David Henderson on Jan 30, 2017

Lent 2021 - Who Has Believed Our Message Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 20, 2021

Isaiah 53 is one of the most profound messianic prophecies found in all of the Old Testament and it asks a simple but convicting question, "Who has believed our message?" What message are we declaring? Is it the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Who Has Believed Our Message Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the ...read more

Revelation From Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Paul must establish that God has selected him just as He did the prophets of the Old Testament. He was to bring a new message to God's people. It was not a message he learned in school, but a message he received direct from God.

Circumcision Of The Heart Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 13, 2021

One of the main examples that help us understand how the spirit of the law applies to the Christian is that of circumcision. It’s not a new concept but was introduced in the Hebrew Scriptures, what Christians call the Old Testament. Circumcision of the heart is more important to God than the flesh.
