    Introduction To The Sermon On The Mount Series

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 28, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,711 views

    This is the introduction to one of the most powerful sermons ever taught or preached. Jesus gives the hearer the basis of what it means to be a Christian, a follower of Christ. It represents the whole of the Christian character.

    Sermon on the Mount Introduction Matthew 5:1-2 When Jesus addressed the church of Sardis He said, “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.” (Revelation 3:1 NKJV) This is indeed a tragedy. The church, those who have been called out by God to be ...read more

    Go Thy Way: When Jesus Healed A Samaritan Leper Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 20, 2020
     | 8,090 views

    One of the last miracles our Lord performed was healing a group of ten lepers. Jesus healed all of them, but how many were grateful for this gift?

    Background: This isn’t the first time Jesus healed a leper but it was probably the last. When this event took place, Jesus is heading towards Jerusalem, passing through Samaria and Galilee. The events in this passage happened just days before He was crucified and had risen from the dead. ...read more

    Go Thy Way: He Waited For A Convenient Season Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 31, 2020
     | 3,689 views

    In this last message for this "Go thy way" series, Felix a Roman governor, talked with Paul about the Christian faith several times. He listened but told Paul "go thy way and I'll talk to you about this when I have the time". Sadly, he never found the time.

    Background: Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem, then taken to the Roman barracks (castle, KJV: Acts 21:34, 37, e.g.). Later Paul was sent to the seat of Roman government in Caesarea. He had been tried and accused of charges, serious at the time, but was declared neither guilty nor innocent. Paul ...read more

    Accept No Subsitutes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,677 views

    Paul's advice to the Colossians is still appropriate for us today: Build your faith on Jesus alone, reject any subtitutes or add-ons, and stay away from unhelful squabbles and judgments over non-essentials.

    Colossians 2:6-10, 16-19 Accept No Substitutes (Outlines in MS Word are available if needed; e-mail me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com) Paul lived in a time--much like today--when there was a lot of interest in spirituality. Some people were into worshipping angels. Others were coming up with ...read more

    Secret Ambition

    This sermon is about pride, ambition and the desire to great.

    SECRET AMBITION Mark 10:35-45 There is the story about a painter who was painting a picture of Oliver Cromwell. When Cromwell saw the painting he was not pleased because he did not think the painting was genuine. He therefore told the court painter to take it back and paint him ...read more

     | 4,823 views

    And explanation on different biblical ways that we can worship God.

    Worship (PROSKUNEO) is a conscious glorification of God flowing from an inner attitude of lowly submission to His authority and awe at His majesty. The worship in heaven is about honour Honour means to ascribe weight and value to something. “Worship Him who made heaven and earth” (Revelation ...read more

    There are many ways the bible teaches us to worship God. Here is a sermon I used to teach my church on worship.

    Job - First Do No Harm

    Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 29, 2019
     | 4,421 views

    How do we treat those who are suffering? This sermon is trying to answer that question from the life and experience of Job.

    Love does no harm The three thematics that run through Job 1) Retributional Theology 2) Suffering is Divine Chastening – Job, God is going to teach you something important through this 3) Suffering is only temporary – Job you have lost perspective – in the end – everything will be ok.

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 12, 2020
     | 4,450 views

    These women brought back the first news of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ--but nobody believed them!

    Based on a sermon preached at Pilot Knob Baptist Church, Belle, MO, in April 2007. (This is not an exact transcription.) Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays! I never cared much for the hard boiled "Easter" eggs or anything like that—especially cleaning up the pieces of ...read more

    Every Word From The Mouth Of God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 15, 2020
     | 7,416 views

    The phrase "it is written" is used seventy-two times in the Bible and even four times when Jesus is being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. (The evil one used it once, too.) Why did Jesus and the apostles lean so heavily on Scripture? Is it really so important?

    Every Word From the Mouth of God Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 2 ...read more

     | 14,881 views

    A sermon for those of us who have self doubt, self hatred.

    “Can Anything Good Come from Me?” John 1:43-51 Jesus finds Philip and then says to him: “Follow me.” After this, Phillip runs to tell his friend Nathanael, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” At ...read more

    When Jesus set out to call 12 men to follow him, He gathered them together and began mentoring them, discipling them so that they in turn would be able to continue the process.

    “Learning to Pray like Jesus” Luke 11:1 When Jesus set out to call 12 men to follow him, He gathered them together and began mentoring them, discipling them so that they in turn would be able to continue the process.

    Heaven Came Down/ Christmas Eve Service Series

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 15, 2019
     | 4,132 views

    Can we stop for a moment to imagine the excitement of heaven as Jesus comes to begin His redemption of mankind on earth. That God would send His Son Jesus is mind blowing.

    Heaven came down Yesterday, we read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke 2 as part of the service. I spoke of God’s love for “all people”. That God would send His Son Jesus to redeem mankind. (God’s love blows my mind) We saw God’s love was unconditionally for all and God’s love does not go by ...read more

    “What Is Peace?” John 14:23-27 A man in a morning exercise group I am involved in asked for prayer for his daughter. He and his wife haven’t seen nor heard from her in 8 months.
