The Lord Our Righteousness Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 17, 2022

The name of the king, Zedekiah means the righteousness of Jehovah. Jeremiah predicted he would be cut off and a branch would be raised up called, Jehovah-Tsidkenu: The Lord is our righteousness. (Jeremiah 23:6). Jeremiah was the true prophet and proved to be right on both accounts.

There is a famous quote of Abraham Lincoln when some said to Lincoln, I hope that the Lord is on our side. Lincoln replied, that does not concern me, whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side Lincolns reply gives us an insightful perspective of the contrast between ...read more

Walking The Walk

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Jan 30, 2022

One of the hardest things to do as a committed follower of Jesus is to live in this world and not living like the world. Depending on the age in which you became a Christian a large part of our lives was living and doing what the world had to offer.

Jesus – Our Passover

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Feb 26, 2007

This message examines the foreshadowing of Jesus’ redemption on the cross through the Passover feast and how it applies to the Christian life.

Jesus – Our Passover The Old Testament is the tutor that reveals to us God’s plan in the New Testament. The Bible teaches us that it is not possible for the Old Testament law to make us righteous (Hebrews 10:4) but rather that all the Old Testament law serves as our tutor to reveal God’s plan and ...read more

The Believers Life Is Selfcontrolled

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

In the previous sermon we looked at Romans 8:1-4, and we learned some marvelous things about our new position in Christ Jesus.

We learned that while we ALL were once IN ADAM, something happened when heard of salvation in Jesus: • We recognized how dreadful our sins were, and repented of them and trusted in Christ • We were immediately justified by the blood of Christ And now we are no longer IN ADAM, but we are IN CHRIST. ...read more

What Is Our Ambition?

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005

No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

Setting Our Minds

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Feb 27, 2021

Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

Why do we do what we don't want to do? Etc, etc. In this message we look at the why and how of the sinful nature

Wow that was depressing. I would have expected more from Paul, but this just sounds like whining. I half expected him to check himself into a rehab centre by the time I got to the end of this section. But at some time in our Christian life most of us could probably identify with what Paul is ...read more

Our Troublesome Tongues

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024

As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more
