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

Prescription For A Depressed Saint

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 17, 2016

Elijah was probably the most celebrated and revered of all Old Testament prophets. He lived during a time when people were chasing after false gods, worshiping idols and dabbling in all kinds of pagan and occultist stuff. God chose Elijah . . .

When Believers Fall Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jun 28, 2015

Simon the Sorcerer, contrary to many theologian's views, was a true believer. But being immature, he was seduced to go back to the old ways of thinking. It took a truth-telling believer (Peter) to set him straight and tell him the path to forgiveness.

Plateau? Accepting The Little?

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.

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

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.

Help From The Hills Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 4, 2023

There's an old saying "You get what you look for." What does Psalm 121 say God's people looked for, and what difference can that make in our lives as Christians?

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
