     | 1,380 views

    Just as Jesus was resurrected so are we, not only at our baptism but also every time we gain forgiveness. The world needs to know that the the power that raised Christ is also available to us.

    Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,506 views

    Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

    but to say they were insignificant would be like saying a person who is short is not significant. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

    A lady placed a raw oyster before a man and told him she would bet him five dollars he could not swallow it and keep it down.

    He said, "I bet you I can!” He tilted his head back and placed the raw oyster on his tongue and let it slide down. He said, “Now give me the five dollars.” This lady was DETERMINED that she was going to get her money back plus more. She said, "I'll bet you ten dollars you cannot keep ...read more

    Jesus then picked Himself up from the ground and walked the last few yards to the scaffold, so that those who believe in Him will not have to fall into eternal pain and death.

    The Ninth Station: Jesus Falls the Third Time (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,173 views

    To grow in our relationship with Christ, we must identify and let go of the emotional baggage that hinders us.

    Hey God, help us to drop the stuff that's slowing us down and messing with our relationship with you. Show us how to swap out the bad stuff for the good stuff you've got for us. In Jesus' name, Amen! You know how it feels when you're carrying a heavy backpack all day? It's exhausting, right? Well, ...read more

    A New Thing Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,378 views

    God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.

    Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more

    Jesus takes our brokenness and makes us whole. He uses our failures and the brokenness of the world to restore and repair us, making us more beautiful and valuable.

    Hey guys, ever had a favorite toy or gadget that broke? You know, like when your phone screen cracks or your favorite game console stops working. It's a bummer, right? You might even feel like it's useless now. But what if I told you that broken things can become even more valuable? Today, we're ...read more

     | 115 views

    Luke 6:12-16 shows us that Jesus uses ordinary people to accomplish his purposes.

    Introduction I want to begin a series of sermons I am calling “The Apostles of Jesus.” Given the time we will have each Sunday evening, we will only scratch the surface of the lives of the apostles of Jesus. Nevertheless, I hope it whets your appetite to learn more about these men. We tend to ...read more

     | 27,036 views

    The unsaved are really looking for something that can work in your life. How can you convince others that Jesus has made a difference in yours?

    OPEN: They tell me that being a “preacher’s kid” can be difficult for a young child. I read once of a preacher’s little boy who was told by his mother that he should wash his hands because there were germs living in all the dirt he’d been playing in. He looked up at his mother and got this really ...read more

    Fire Upon Thine Altar

    based on 157 ratings
     | 33,510 views

    This text separates those who are spiritually pretense from those who are spiritually intense. It is like the question the demon’s asked of the seven sons of Sceva, “Paul, we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?”

    Fire Upon Thine Altar Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. The bible tells us that ... “the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, ...read more

    Eyes Wide Open Series

     | 5,767 views

    Too many neglect the Revelation because of ’all-kinds’ of reasons, yet it is the book which "Unveils" our Lord in His divinity. This message calls us to view this book with OPENED EYES.

    The Unveiling Eyes Wide Open Rev. 1:1-3 * Have you ever felt neglected? Felt like you had something to offer & never given the opportunity? * In the 21st century, it would seem that Revelation is the one Bible book which receives that kind of treatment. Years ago, all we heard about was the ...read more

    1 I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and ...read more

    Peter And Cornelius: From Pronouncements To People

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,377 views

    Prejudice deals only with groups, not with persons. Peter had to get beyond outworn principles, and both he and Cornelius had to learn to give and receive what was needed. All need Christ.

    If you have to choose between principles and people, choose people! Do you agree? If it comes down to deciding whether to adhere to certain principles and thereby injure people; if it comes down to violating your beliefs or violating another person, what will you choose? The principle or the ...read more
