INTRODUCTION: It has been more than 200 years since God revealed Himself as Jehovah-M'Kaddesh (the LORD who sets apart or makes holy). The promised land has been conquered and ...read more

     | 4,103 views

    A sermon on one of the touchiest subjects in God's Word:submission. Should we really be prickly about this topic? NO!

    That Foul S Word! There is one word that is considered by many as one of the foulest words that a Christian can say. In fact, if you aren't very careful--and tactful--in speaking concerning this topic, you are going to get yourself into a peck of trouble with some people. If you really want to ...read more

    Submission To Our Leaders

    Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Oct 13, 2019
     | 3,545 views

    God has a good purpose for us all and this is why He places leaders in our Nations and the leaders are all supposed to be led by God, so that we can live in peace.

    When I asked the Holy Spirit what He wanted to write on Sermon Central. I was very surprised when He gave me this topic about the leaders in government. This simply means to us that God knows and cares about us and wants the best for us in our various countries where we reside or where we came ...read more

    Based on Isaiah 9:1-4 & Matt. 4:12-23 this discussess the use of power by Jesus with illustrations from the movies of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Pay it Forward.

    “There is no good or evil, just power and those too weak to use it.” If you have seen the movie or read the book of HP and the philosopher’s stone, then you will have heard that phrase. In a last ditch attempt to win Harry’s cooperation, the evil wizard Voldemort asserts “There is no good or evil, ...read more

    Peace On Earth?

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022
     | 3,025 views

    Peace is not the absence of war or strife but the presence of God. Peace comes through personally knowing the person, that person is the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Today, the sermon topic is “Peace on Earth?” The biblical meaning of peace or “shalom” means far more than the absence of war or conflict. Shalom speaks of wholeness, completeness, of well-being, tranquility, prosperity, and security. Rabbinical texts speak of achieving peace on a social level, the ...read more

    So, what is freedom, or liberty, exactly? How can we get it? Well first, I think it’s important to know that…

    245 years ago, on July 4th, 1776, in Boston, Massachusetts, our forefathers signed the declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Now, there were a great many reasons why our fathers rebelled against the crown. It can’t be boiled down to just one or two things, but it was the age of ...read more

    We have some strange ideas about THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS. We hear Happy Holidays, Which could mean anything. Today I want to look at the Christmas story and see THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.

    The Meaning of Christmas Lu 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore ...read more

    Jesus And Zacchaeus Series

     | 13,096 views

    This sermon focuses on the interaction between Jesus, Zacchaeus, the Pharisee's and the community at large. Lost People matter to God. You can overcome a critical spirit and God cares about families.

    We come this morning to one example of what I consider to be the most difficult part of the Bible to understand. So I’m just going to name it for what it is, right up front. This scene of Deborah calling members of the Israelite tribes into battle is just one story among many of the seemingly ...read more

    Israel stopped listening to God. But there was hope when Gideon met Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord our peace. If you have stopped listing to God, you need the presence of God. You need the prince of peace, Jesus Christ. God’s peace will deliver you from bondage.

    If you ever get the experience to go to the holy land, then let me predict how the trip will begin for you. First you will fly to Tel Aviv and go through the tight security. Then soon after you will meet your holy land tour guide. He will look at the group and then say Shalom. Shalom means peace. ...read more

    If you’re not following God, then who are you following? For example, if you are following the enemy of God, then why would your ending be different than what is awaiting him in eternity?

    Isaiah, Part 9 God’s Promise for the Rebellious Isaiah 14:3-23 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons! We are so glad that you’ve chosen to worship with us - Last time, we unpacked Ch 11 and 12 … we saw one great focus: -- God’s promise for His people: Given a hymn of praise (reason to ...read more

     | 5,343 views

    Here is a sad reality, any one of us, being unprepared to recognize false ideas, might entertain some belief or practice that does not coincide with Jesus teachings! I have seen us lose a few people from this Church over the years and it saddens me.

    Doctrines That Free vs Doctrines That Enslave by Kelly Durant Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased ...read more

    Peter and John before the Sanhedrin provide an example of how the child of God is to respond to pressure from the world to conform to low expectations.

    “When [the guards] had brought [Peter and John before the council], they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, ‘We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood ...read more
