Sermons on Our Calling:

Our Anchor Of Hope

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

Because of Jesus, we are able to go behind the veil to experience the grace of the Father. Jesus is our High Priest who goes before us, pulling us ahead like an anchor on a motor launch into the safety of the bay of heaven.

Today’s message is entitled “Our Anchor of Hope,” and I would like to open with an illustration. A naval officer from World War II once described how the battleships he was on survived terrible hurricanes in Chesapeake Bay. When storms or turbulent seas threatened a ship that was docked in ...read more

Our Omnipotent God Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 13, 2003

You and I are limited in space ­ but God is omnipresent. Our knowledge is limited ­ but God is omniscient. We are more aware of our weakness, than our power ­ and God is omnipotent, or all-powerful.

Our Omnipotent God I heard recently about a 747 jetliner that was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loudspeaker and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have lost one of our engines, but we can still reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately, this will make us one ...read more

Standing By Our Promises Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 21, 2003

We all fail to keep our pledges, don’t we? Our good intentions and plans often fall by the wayside. Sometimes we blatantly break our promises but other times, we just kind of drift away, a little at a time.

Standing By Our Promises As many of you know, I really like Snicker bars. For the past year, whenever I would go to Dairy Queen, I would always order a Snicker Bar Breeze. All I had to do was walk in and one of the workers would start filling a cup with chunks of tasty nougat. It was automatic ...read more

Our Jesus Is Yes Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

The world of salvation begins with our own yes to the Gospel. Yes we say to God, I will receive your gift of eternal life in Christ. From then on every stage of growth is a stage we advance to by saying yes to God.

Yes is only a three letter word, but its utterance can change your life. It happened to the poet Robert Robinson one Sunday morning in London. People everywhere were hurrying to church, but he was not. He had left the church, and he had lost the once passionate faith that made him a ...read more

Our Sovereign Lord Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 13, 2014

In Colossians 1:15–19, Paul reveals our Lord’s true identity by viewing Him in relation to three things: 1) The Father (Colossians 1:15), 2) The Universe (Colossians 1:16-17), and 3) The Church (Colossians 1:18-19).

If there are two things that have a tremendous bearing on our future experiences, they are assumptions and expectation. We tend to make assumptions about people and expect certain actions accordingly. As the Jews experienced Christ's ride into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, they assumed He was ...read more

Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more
