    Do You Show Partiality?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,727 views

    This message looks at four different types of partiality that take place in churches: Class, Geographic, Racial, and Denominational discrimination. Prejudice in the church displeases the Lord, it is unjust and a complete travesty!

    Last Sunday was recognized on the SBC calendar as Racial Reconciliation Sunday, and so I want to share something applicable today. I’ve entitled our message, “Do You Show Partiality?” and this is actually a question for each of us here today. According to Noah Webster, in the 1828 American ...read more

     | 6,953 views

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

     | 3,272 views

    In this passage, some people questioned Paul's honesty and integrity. He assured them that the message he preached was true, and that God is forever faithful. Paul said, “All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen.”

    A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial and it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A. No sir, but someone matching his description was seen running. Q. Officer, who provided this description? A. The officer who responded to ...read more

    Where Do You Stand? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,711 views

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

    Why Speak In Parables Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 156 views

    The parables are more than storytelling devices to help people remember Jesus' teachings. The listener who pursues understanding will receive both healing and blessing, and ultimately come to know God.

     | 552 views

    To establish that the Scriptures reveal Jesus Christ as Savior. Class is still out for some of our Scholars in this regard; some would have Him yet in the tomb, while others see Him no more than a mere man. This dissertation proves Jesus Christ is the Savior.

    INTRODUCTION 3. Jesus Christ Is Savior Introductory Remarks. 1.

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,639 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more

    What is the greatest business in the world? You have probably heard some variation of the story of the three boys who were comparing notes concerning their fathers.
