Sermons on Perfecter Of Faith:

The Illustration Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

As an example of salvation by faith and not works, Paul uses the Jews own patriarch Abraham against them!

INTRO: Let’s review...we have been talking about works versus faith. At the crux of the debate going on in the lives of the Galatian believers was the question of salvation through works or through faith in Christ alone. How are we truly justified? Justification is the gracious act of God by ...read more

The Identity Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

There is an identity crisis in our country. I believe that our racial problems are a result of an unbiblical view of our identity. This passage has long been used to rebuke a racist and bigoted view of the gospel.

INTRO: Galatians 3 has been a history lesson through the Old Testament. One of the more complicated chapters of Paul’s writings, it’s been a difficult hike, but like many hard journeys, there is a rewarding view at the end. We have climbed the mountain peaks of Abraham and Moses and have seen ...read more

Superstition Or Faith? Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2020

Biblical Christianity is superior to magic and superstition. Yet we need to rout our superstition in our own lives, too. Biblical faith has no room for superstition.

Superstition or Faith? (Acts 19:11-20) 1. I think it is bad luck to believe in superstition. That’s a joke. “The number 13, black cats, breaking mirrors, or walking under ladders, may all be things you actively avoid – if you’re anything like the 25% of people in the US who consider themselves ...read more

Childlike Faith

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 16, 2020

Everyone keeps saying and we keep hearing over and over the phrase, “this is the new normal!” There is an old saying, “if it walks, talks and acts like a duck...it’s a duck!” What we are witnessing is not the new normal, what we are witnessing is the devil getting all of his ducks in a row!

As we look around the world in the day and age in which we live, we find ourselves questioning everything we’re told. The truth is we have never had more access to information, but have never been more weary of the information we are being told as truth. The go to response for knowledge and truth ...read more

Gratitude For The Faithful

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2019

Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

Gratitude for the Faithful 2 John 1-4 Our text today comes from the second general epistle the apostle John wrote. Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more

A Voyage Of Faith Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 24, 2021

Noah believed God, and he built an Ark to save his family. What can learn from Noah's faith, and what is there in the story of God's judgment that we need to share with the world?

(I opened by pretending to read a children story about Noah. Then I read Hebrews 11:7) “By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household.” PRAYER Now, the first part of Hebrews 11:7 tells us that God WARNED ...read more

Faith That Saves Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 19, 2021

What is saving faith? Is it something you say, feel, or think? No, saving faith is something you do. Faith is something that must produce action and must be practiced. That's what James says in James chapter 2.

Introduction: A. One day a nun who worked for a local home health care agency was out making her rounds when she ran out of gas. 1. Thankfully, there was a gas station just down the street. 2. So she walked to the station to borrow a gas can and get enough gas to start the car and drive to the ...read more

Transfigured In Faith Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 2, 2021

Even when God's people screw up and turn their backs on their call, He continues to work to turn them back to the right path.

Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus 2021 Whenever I read Gospels such as the one today, where Jesus is transfigured before his key disciples, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and then tells the witnesses not to tell anyone else about the vision, I think of Isaiah chapter 55. God is speaking: “For my ...read more

Complacent Faith

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Aug 26, 2021

Complacency is a contagious belief and practice rising among many. The individualistic society seeks to embrace even complacent faith with pride.

Well, 500 years before Christ, Amos was sent to Israelites to warn their complacency (Amos 4:1-5 / 6:1-6) not to condemn but to point their way forward. They had their law, teachers, and religious leaders, but not God because they were following their own self-absorbed life. Due to the complacent ...read more
