    Means Of Grace Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,230 views

    ? John Wesley identified 5 tools for growing in our faith as the Means of Grace. He didn’t invent them. In fact, these are practices handed down from both Judaism and the early church. And as a result, generations have born the fruit of these spiritual di

    The Means of Grace 2 Peter 3:18 Have you ever been told to do something, but then weren’t told how to do it? Or have you ever been told to do something, but then you weren’t given the tools for getting it done? There’s nothing worse than being given something to do, but then not ...read more

     | 16,129 views

    All believers have been given new life in Christ under Divine Ownership, with a Divine Occupant, and a Divine Objective.

    Divine Ownership 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 (Focus = verses 19-20) The Corinthian church was much like the church in America today. They lived in a culture that was hedonistic, seeking to gratify their physical appetites for pleasure. The city was consumed and obsessed with sensuality and promiscuity. ...read more

    Canceled Debt (Part Two) Series

     | 5,574 views

    When we accepted what Jesus did on the cross we had our sin debt canceled. So now what? We can have an improper or a proper response to our canceled debt. Last week we looked at some improper responses. Today we'll look at some proper responses.

    CANCELED DEBT (part two) Recap: What are improper responses to our canceled debt? We start accumulating more debt. People claim bankruptcy and then go right back to accumulating more debt. Why? Because they either don't care or they didn't learn the lesson that their poor choices got them into ...read more

    Follow Jesus!

     | 12,167 views

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

    Jesus - The Ultimate Man Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Oct 5, 2014
     | 6,860 views

    This sermon compares Jesus the Ultimate Man and Samson the unbiblical male.

    The most elemental aspect of our identity is being challenged today. In an effort to confuse humanity and draw us away from a relationship with our Creator, Satan has launched a major assault against the family. The attack comes in the form of unbiblical ideas about the roles of men and women and ...read more

    A sermon examining the fact that God is with us no matter how difficult the circumstance.

    WHERE IS GOD? Psalm 115:1-3 (Antioch Baptist Church: Sunday, September 18th, 2025) “Where is God?” That is a question that has been asked throughout the ages. In the midst of great tragedy, inevitably people will ask “Where is God?” They want to know: “Where is God in times of famine?” ...read more

    In Paul’s initial address in the letter he seeks to establish who he is & what he is about. He is God’s man & everything he is & does revolves around God

    ROMANS 1: 1-7 "A CALL, A GOSPEL, AND A TASK" In the preface to his commentary on Paul’s letter to the Romans, Martin Luther wrote: "This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian’s while not only to memorize it word for ...read more

    To Judge Or Not To Judge; That Is The Question

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,973 views

    “Judge not, lest ye be judged!” This is one of the most widely misused verses quoted among non-Christians and Christians alike. Passing judgment has a completely negative connotation to it. But there is such a big misunderstanding about this subject that

    Those who diligently seek after God to please Him and make sincere efforts to follow His precepts and commands will be rewarded by God who promised this in His Word.

    Mat 16:24-27 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what is a man profited, if he shall ...read more

    The Fox Out-Foxed

    If there is one trait of Jacob that stands out, it is his craftiness. Our chapter presents another crafty fellow who will out-fox Jacob.

    Genesis 29:1-30 The Fox Out-Foxed 8/7/16 D. Marion Clark Introduction When I moved to Lake Oconee and learned that I was living in the land of Br’er Rabbit, I decided I should read Uncle Remus. It doesn’t take long to size up the primary character of Br’er Rabbit. He is crafty ...read more

    Worship Is A Verb!

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
     | 5,891 views

    Worship services are first and foremost to offer worship to God through Christ Jesus, rather than satisfy the attendee. Many have lost sight of the fact that Church services are more about the attendee giving than receiving.

    “I used to attend congregational worship services but I quit because I got nothing from it.” “Church is boring.” “When I sit in the pew during church services, I think about how much more I could be accomplishing if I had stayed home.” Through the decades, I have heard a multitude of people ...read more

    Expecting Miracles

    We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

    Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more

     | 2,182 views

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.

    Living in the Kingdom 15 Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18; 17:14-21; Isaiah 58:2-6; Psalms 35:13 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and riches in His Sermon on the Mount.
