One True Gospel Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 30, 2009

There is only one saving gospel, the gospel of grace by faith in Jesus Christ alone. This is the only gospel that is of divine origin. It is a gospel of the grace of Christ offered as a free gift. Man can not gain God’s salvation

Do Children Who Die Go To Heaven?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 16, 2016

The recent growth in Calvinistic doctrine & teaching on original sin has reignited the debate on whether children are guilty of sin & where they go if they die. This looks at that & gives 5 reasons why I believe they go to heaven.

DO CHILDREN WHO DIE GO TO HEAVEN? Mt. 19:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. 2. Because of hectic schedules, it was ...read more

Imagine-A Loving Father

Contributed by John Oscar on Jul 2, 2018

Note: This sermon is part of a series provided to church's that purchase a marketing kit for the movie "I Can Only Imagine". They have been edited to fit our congregation and culture, but the main body of the sermon is not original to me.

Imagine- A Loving Father Matthew 3 I want to talk to you today about imagination. There is a small art organization that goes into public schools in rough areas of cities and teaches art therapy, so that kids whose imagination have been crushed by poverty can experience the possible through what ...read more

Darwin Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 31, 2016

Darwinism is based on several assumptions about the origin of life. But its often used by many as a tool to oppose God. Because of that, this theory ultimately enslaves people to sin and despair. Do you know why?.

Keep The Change Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 8, 2015

When we talk about real change, we are talking about transformation. Like an artist who takes a blank palette and paints a beautiful picture—the end product in no way resembles the original.

“Keep the Change” Matthew 5:9 and Romans 12:1-2 I think we call all agree today that the Bible is an amazing book. 66 books, not written by one man, but 39 written over a period of 1500 years. And there is a thread that runs through the scripture from Genesis to Revelation that ...read more

A Posture Of Hope

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 18, 2015

The original meaning of gospel hope is strongly united with Grace. In other words, when someone was in a posture of hope they were solely depending on the Lord's grace. “God, Your grace is bigger than…”

A Posture Of Hope Second Chronicles 20:1-4NLT The story is told of a pastor of a large church who had a dream one night that really opened his eyes. He dreamed that he could see his own church worship service on Sunday morning. But there was something very strange happening. The choir was ...read more

Lazarus And The Rich Man

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

It has become common practice to see as the whole meaning of this story that the rich should help the poor... But this particular story especially, if one allows oneself to be affected fully by its original meaning, is a very concrete proclamation of the

One cannot understand and preach the gospel concretely enough. A real evangelical sermon must be like holding a pretty red apple in front of a child or a glass of cool water in front of a thirsty person and then asking: do you want it? We should be able to talk about matters of our faith in such a ...read more

The Eternal Enmity And The Conquest By Jesus Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 22, 2021

Mary's offspring, Jesus Christ, Son of God and her son, would defeat Satan and all the evil spirits and restore those who believe in Him to our original state in the image of God.

Monday after Pentecost If the story weren’t of the greatest tragedy in human history, this reading from the early chapter of Genesis would almost be a French farce. We see just before these verses the virgin Eve (she is so seen by the Church Fathers) succumbing to the seductive voice of a serpent, ...read more

Inconvenient Christmas

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 13, 2020

This seems like an adequate description of Christmas this year. Well, our original Christmas family had to deal with some inconveniences surrounding that first Christmas. Let's see how they handled them all.

INCONVENIENT CHRISTMAS This seems like an adequate description of Christmas this year.

Scourge Of The Tongue

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 20, 2020

The tongue is a small weapon. It is a great mercy to be delivered from the tongue. The tongue was originally made to be an organ of God’s praise but it has now become an instrument of unrighteousness. The tongue inflicts greater wounds than the sword.

“shield Of Faith” Series

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 16, 2016

There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding about faith today. Not necessarily all original material. Some material contained in my sermons may be gleaned from other sermons. Parts of this message are from Billy Ricks

“Shield of Faith” Ephesians 6:16 The pastor, the youth minister and chairman of deacons were out in a boat fishing on the lake. They ran out of bait so the pastor “Stay here guys, we don’t want to lose our spot.” With that he got up got out of the boat walked on the ...read more

Life In The Son

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

The Real Iron Man

The Real Iron Man I. Introduction: When I was a child, my dad took me to a barbershop run by two great women, Linda and Sammy Jo. Grandpa went to them too.

Where Did We Come From? Series

Contributed by Coz Von on Jun 30, 2016

one of the last century’s greatest scientific minds argues that, perhaps, aliens in spaceships first brought life to Earth, and that explains how we all got here. mmmmm??

According to Hollywood, there’s no shortage of alien life in the universe. Unfortunately, these aliens are usually presented as hostile to humanity. In fact, flicks like War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Independence Day depict cosmic creatures that threaten ...read more
