    Which Way? Series

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jan 30, 2023
     | 1,881 views

    There's only two options open to us...the narrow way which leads to eternal life, or the wide way which leads to eternal death. Heaven or hell. Which will it be?

    Mat 7:13-14 Do you know what any good preacher does when he begins to wind down his sermon? He tries to pull together everything he has already said and guide his audience to his ultimate goal of bringing them to a decision. For the Christian preacher, the decision he is leading his audience ...read more

    The Fall Of Man Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 21, 2022
     | 4,302 views

    God made Adam and Eve with a will to make a choice. They had the option of obeying God and his command or disobeying. The pull or lure to disobey is temptation. The temptation and the fall began with the serpent luring Eve to disobey God.

    The Bible records that the original couple Adam and Eve were deceived by Satan and sin marred God’s creation including mankind. The fall of man tells the story that is basic for the rest of the Bible. God’s plan to redeem fallen man. To save humanity lost in the fall. We are looking at the ...read more

    Since I'm Saved By Grace, Can’t I Do Anything I Want? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2024
     | 693 views

    Can you think of someone who says they are a Christian but treats obeying God as optional? Many Americans hear about the cross and God’s grace and automatically believe they can do whatever they want.

    This morning, I want to answer this question, “What Good Is It to Obey God?” We are focusing on four habits/attitudes that every family should have in this series. Families are so much fun. Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

     | 21,306 views

    Spiritual leaders learn, grow, and continue to change until they have the character God requires. This is what makes them successful in leadership. Good character is not optional for leaders. It is essential. Christian leaders lead people to God. They

    Characteristics of Great Leaders “Character is like bells. They ring out sweet notes, but when you touch them accidentally, they still resound with sweet music.” Unknown Spiritual leaders learn, grow, and continue to change until they have the character God requires. This is what ...read more

    Quit Thinking About Quitting (Persistence)

    Contributed by Jack Woodard on Jul 7, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,508 views

    Quitting is often the easiest course of action when you encounter hardships in your life, but Quitting should never be an option for the Christian when doing the Lord’s Will. Persistence must always be our course of action.

    QUIT THINKING ABOUT QUITTING TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58; Hebrews 12:1-2 TITLE: PERSISTENCE INTRODUCTION: Anyone and everyone that has ever attempted to faithfully serve the Lord and to live a life that honors Christ has met continual opposition, disappointments, and discouragements.

    Paraphernalia

     | 3,554 views

    Gizmos, gadgets, trappings, add-ons, etc. are really optional, but so many of us have come to think that we cannot live without them. The problem is that it becomes like the proverbial "straw that broke the camels' back".

    Paraphernalia--furnishings and apparatuses, (add-ons) to enhance or give more options to a thing.

    How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021
     | 2,722 views

    Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

    The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

    Your Response To The Word Of Christ Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021
     | 2,609 views

    How do you respond to the Word of Jesus? Is following Jesus an obedience-optional exercise for you? If it is, you stand to lose a great blessing--the freedom that only being a true follower of Jesus can provide.

    Last week I asked you a critical question: What must a person believe, in particular about Christ, to be sure of going to heaven The answer, of course, is that person must believe He is God, very God of very God, the God-Man.

    Revival Or Funeral

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,064 views

    Revival is not a mystery, revival is God's answer to hungry hearts, and prevailing prayer. I say this with no fear of exaggeration, or of contradiction.... this is where we are in America right now. In this hour revival for the church is not an option, it is Revival or Funeral.

    Ezekiel 42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. The sanctuary represents that which is holy, sanctified, set apart... dedicated to God, and his service. The ...read more

    You Do Not Have To Sin, But If You Do, Just Ask For Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Derrick Thompson, Sr. on Oct 23, 2013
     | 5,383 views

    Is sinning an option? The answer is no. The child of God is not to serve sin, because he is dead to sin, he has been crucified with Christ, and as a dead man is freed from sin. When the old man is crucified, death has occurred, and so sin has to stop.

    The Value Of Suffering

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Sep 23, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,335 views

    Everyone goes through struggles in life’s journey and everyone has an option on how to view that struggle. We can take it as a time to wreck us or as a time to look to the Word of God and lean on God to pull us through.

    Value of Suffering Psalm 22:1-31 Intro The background of Psalm 22 is some event or series of events in David’s life when he went through much opposition and physical abuse. While suffering on the cross, Jesus quoted part of the first verse. He may have quoted all of it but was so weak the crowd ...read more

    Why The Ten Commandments? Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jan 8, 2019
     | 5,599 views

    Optional but important intro to a series on The Ten Commandments. Christians should live according to the commandments because, a) God gave them, b) They help us fulfill our role in his plan for salvation, and c) They are a guide to freedom.

    WHY THE TEN COMANDMENTS? Exodus 20:1-2 A TV personality had as a guest on his show a congressman, who was advocating for displaying the Ten Commandments in public buildings.
