     | 7,046 views

    A sermon which compares and contrasts what the world offers and what Jesus offers.

    “Have Courage” John 14:23-29 Since the beginning of time, humanity has craved peace! Peace of mind, peace of heart, peace among the nations.

    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023
     | 1,687 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are ...read more

    Found In Christ

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2023

    Salvation is not achieved; it is received.

    I hope that every person within earshot of my voice today is a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing else would please me so much as if that were the case. But I cannot risk thinking it is so if it is not. Too much is at stake. Eternity is at stake. For it only faith in Christ that will secure ...read more

    Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022
     | 709 views

    Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    LIARS OR LIVING LETTERS? Text: Colossians 3:5-9a In the Walt Disney movie "Pinnochio" there is a scene where Pinnochio's nose grows every time he tells a lie. And the point of that scene is that the more you lie, the more you have to lie to make all your ...read more

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,149 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal. (Bruce Larson. Mastering The New Testament: Luke. Dallas: Word Publishing, ...read more

     | 2,226 views

    The sixth plague had no effect at all upon the hard heart of the Pharaoh, who cared nothing for the physical sufferings of his subjects and was not afflicted by the malady. Moses was therefore ordered to appear before him again and warn him of imminent and yet more terrible catastrophes.

    The Message Of Moses About The Hail, THE SEVENTH PLAGUE Exodus 9:13-21 13Then the LORD said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, 'This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me, 14or this time I will ...read more

     | 669 views

    The people of Israel were slack in taking up their inheritance in The Promised Land, are we slackers also, not taking up the freedom we can have, the abundant life we can have in Christ Jesus?

    Back into the deep dive into scripture; Joshua. Joshua 14:1-6 and Joshua18:1-8. We had previously, last year, looked at Joshua and the defeat of Jericho, we had journeyed that far in the Old Testament, my first few sermons of 2025 were about living victoriously in Christ.

    The False Prophets Of Nehemiah’s Day Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 10, 2025
     | 453 views

    As strange as it may sound, even after years of captivity there were false prophets in the land of Israel. Nehemiah had to deal not only with rebuilding Jerusalem but also with a number of these false prophets!

    Introduction: False prophets didn’t die out when all Israel was carried off to captivity. At least two are mentioned by name, plus there was an unspecified group of other false prophets. All of them had one common goal, though, and that was to get Nehemiah discouraged, or as he put it, “[they] ...read more
