    The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 18, 2021
     | 3,600 views

    Man can be declared righteous because an atoning sacrifice has been made on his behalf, satisfying the wrath of God, when he believes in Christ and accept the gift of salvation from God and is forgiven of his sin and made right with God.

    Today I am going to preach the Gospel, the “good news”, a message that the world desperately needs to hear. • All humanity, whether knowingly or unknowingly, has turned from God and now faces the wrath of God for their sin. • Paul has written at length to affirm this. He left no doubt that all ...read more

    Jeremiah was a major prophet in the Old Testament. He was sent to wake up the people of God. The children of Israel were falling away from the Lord God. They began to worship false gods, so the Lord sent Jeremiah to preach a message of repentance and to preach a message of the law.

    TITLE: DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 26:8-15 There is a saying that is heard frequently, “DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!” What it means is whatever the messenger is delivering, it’s not their fault, it’s not their message. • If you don’t like the message, then go to its source ...read more

    What is the significance in the first day and what does it say against the backdrop of evolutionary science. Even more, how does Jesus fit into this motif?

    Introduction Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve shared with you the impossibility of evolution. This is not a philosophical argument, but a theological fact. Evolutionists seek to dispose of God, especially the God of the Bible. Evolution, the gospel, and our salvation are impossibly compatible. ...read more

    God placed it upon Paul's heart that the church in Crete needed to grow up to maturity. Titus had demonstrated that he was ready for the responsibility of organizing the churches in Crete; he would lead the people to avoid the Cretan worldview and the legalism of the Jews.

    “Come, follow me.” The words resound with authority that could emanate only from the heart of God. My heart is tenderly touched each time I view a video clip that depicts the early disciple walking away from their known life to live according to a calling God places upon their lives. As the ...read more

    The Church Is A Community Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 6, 2022
     | 2,743 views

    This sermon focuses on the idea that the Church is not simply a building where people gather, but it is a spiritual community of called out people of God who are commissioned to carry out His mission on earth.

    Can anybody tell me what date it is today? The 25th. So what does that mean happened about a month ago? Christmas. You guys are sharp. Very good. It was Christmas a month ago. It is hard to believe. This week I was reflecting on some of the great gifts I received this past Christmas. I ...read more

    It’s Not Fire Insurance

    This message discusses how there are people who attend church claiming faith in Christ simply because they want a ticket to heaven, or because they want their fire insurance; but, they have never truly believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

    This morning, I am going to talk about the deception of professing Christ as fire insurance and as a ticket to heaven; and so, I’m going to begin with a related illustration. In the December 2001 issue of “Reader’s Digest,” the boxer Muhammed Ali was asked during an interview what his faith meant ...read more

    The basis of this sermon is a sermon preached by Tim Keller on Psalm 88.

    When Darkness Is My Only Friend Introduction Warning: I want to build your faith, but my first point of this sermon is a real downer. The book of Psalms is filled with desperate prayers. There are personal laments and corporate laments. It is in these that the psalmists express their ...read more

    This Sunday we’ll be looking at “The Faithfulness of God” from the book of Hosea, because God’s faithfulness is not only a reoccurring theme found throughout Hosea’s story, but one that is found throughout God’s word.

    The Faithfulness of God The Book of Hosea Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU5rkpSe22Y Today we’ll be looking at the faithfulness of God. And to do so we’ll be looking at the Old Testament book of Hosea. But before we turn there, would you please turn in your Bibles to 2 Kings 17. If ...read more

    First John 2:3-6 gives us objective evidence that someone's profession of faith is credible.

    Scripture In his First Letter, John wrote to oppose the false teaching by setting down biblical principles of fellowship with God. He showed how genuine fellowship with God is identified by three different tests. First is the moral test, which is the test of obedience. Second is the social test, ...read more

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    Independence Day: Our country was founded on a value for religious freedom. As biblical morality fades, immorality and moral decay are taking its place; which will eventually lead to the collapse of this nation unless people repent.

    This week we celebrate Independence Day, the day that our nation commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.(1) We must not forget that our country’s drive for independence began with a quest for ...read more

    Keeping Up with the Jones is an American saying that simply means when you use your friends or neighbors as a benchmark for success. Oftentimes, we look across the street or inside our social circle and become dissatisfied with our lives because we don’t have the same financial success.

    What do you think of when you think of Dallas? For many, Dallas will be connected to the iconic J.R.

    • The red-necks who lived in that region. • And some of the strong brew they made in that area. The man who was driving from that region said, “Yes, I have lived here all my life and we make some strong brew, If I must say so myself.” The man stated he had some of that strong brew and asked ...read more
