    Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar teach us how to live out our humility.

    Introduction I look around the world today and I don’t see what I consider to be a lot of humility these days.

    Law And Grace

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Jun 8, 2022
     | 2,026 views

    This sermon is more of a teaching that can be adapted for evangelistic purposes. It deals in a practical way in the understanding of Law and Grace, and compares their characteristics.

    Law and Grace John 1:16 "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace". The word "fulness" is still another term in this important passage which brings out the absolute Deity of the Savior. It is the same word which is found in Colossians 1:19 and 2:9—"For ...read more

    How does God judge groups, towns, cities and nations?

    Last week we heard about The Minor Old Testament Prophet Habakkuk, minor because the book that bears his name is short, only 3 chapters long as opposed to The Major Old Testament Prophet Isaiah whose book is 66 chapters. Habakkuk differs markedly from the other prophetic books. Whereas most of the ...read more

    There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 1, 2023
     | 1,092 views

    This is a revision of a sermon I posted nearly two years ago that presented the story of creation from a scientific viewpoint. The wonder of creation is a witness to God's holiness, majesty, power, and glory.

    "IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH" (Genesis 1:1). I want you to consider for a moment how solemn, awesome, powerful, and wondrous this statement is, for it presents the work, thought, and majesty of Almighty God. Some of you reading this might be thinking, ...read more

    You can learn from observing people. It is amazing that King Solomon could see this much from his palace. Solomon was observing people who were working hard, and he observed that their inward motive was envy. We could find this type of person very commonly.

    You can learn a lot from watching people. You could be at the Atlanta airport at the busiest airport in the world or at a quiet rural restaurant and you will find a variety of people. We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more

    Introduction: To point out how lonely people can be, Charles Swindoll mentioned an ad in a Kansas newspaper. It read, "I will listen to you talk for 30 minutes without comment for $5.00." Swindoll said, "Sounds like a hoax, doesn't it? But the person was serious. Did anybody ...read more
