    A look at one of the stranger stories of the Old Testament

    The Book of Judges is one of those books of the Bible that we do not read often, and yet, we are familiar with several of the stories in that book. We find Samson in the book of Judges. Gideon is also there. But most of the stories in Judges are ones we don’t remember well, because ...read more

    To accept one another, we are to concede differences.

    Have you ever tried ordering water in the restaurant nowadays? First, the waiter asks, “Hot or cold water?” Let us say you chose cold water.

    Truths about Satan’s efforts to control men and Jesus’ power to free them.

    LIFE AS IT REALLY IS Introduction: Tell the story: 2 men – possessed by devils, cry out to Jesus for ‘mercy’ – Jesus casts them out of the 2 men, allow them to go into a herd of swine (Mark 5:13 – 2000 swine), the pigs immediately rush into the sea and are destroyed – dead.

    The Finite And The Infinite

    Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Sep 11, 2014
     | 3,548 views

    Many see the Bible as a rule book – what do I need to do? It is not about what we need to do it is about what Christ has done for us. Christ has unlimited –that is infinite – forgiveness available for us.

    . Forgiving someone can be especially difficult for many of us. Peter thought he was being generous with seven times. After all some of the Rabbis taught that one needed to forgive the same sin only three times. Peter was, in his way, trying to be obedient to Jesus who said that our ...read more

    Peter Fails, But Grace Avails.

    Contributed by John Colbert on Aug 4, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,146 views

    The sermons that I have listed are 30 to 40 minute sermons. I have only listed the points and a couple of comments under each point of each sermon to give the preacher a remembrance which the Holy Spirit can lead on and speak through the man of God.

    Peter fails, but Grace avails. Matthew 14:28 and Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. (Matthew 14:23-31) In these verses we see a beautiful word picture of Peter walking by faith and not by sight. Peter here is stepping out of his safe zone ...read more

    Human Body Indulgences Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 21, 2015
     | 5,792 views

    Paul explains how the human body is not designed for desires and urges but to be a member of Christ. The human body is designed to be the temple of the Holy Spirit.

    The human body is abused more than any other single thing on earth. Man has developed things that really do nothing but kill the human body. On the other hand, little is spent on saving and nurturing the human body. The passage tonight deals with this problem. It is God’s case against the ...read more

    The Sifting Of The Saints

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 25, 2022
     | 5,819 views

    This passage of scripture has to do with the “sifting” of the saints. Before we can fully appreciate what this passage is teaching, we have to know something about sifting.

    Illus: Some of the older women in this congregation can remember when years ago they had a “sifter” in their kitchen. This was something they could hold with one hand, and use the other hand to turn a handle that rotated a wire wheel inside the sifter basket. As they prepared a meal for their ...read more

    Our view of marriage will affect the attention we give to keeping it healthy.

    The Christian Marriage Matthew 5:27-32 INTRODUCTION A. Like Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter, we want to put a “D” on Hester Prynne and other divorced people. 1. We tell them God can’t use them but we still love them (what kind of grace is that?). 2. Half of all marriages ...read more

    "Sifting, Taking Out The Trash"

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 22, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,521 views

    Our lives are placed through a sifter. With each new day, the crank is turned and a few more of our rough edges disappear as the finer parts of our new man and the coarse parts of our sinful, fleshly nature are revealed so that these character flaws can be discarded.

    I bring out a sifter with flour, rocks and stick mixed together and set it on the table, next to a pile of un-sifted flour. I can remember not too many years ago when we used an old hand operated flour sifter. It was a simple little contraption that consisted of a little tin can with a screen in ...read more
