     | 2,453 views

    This is the final of five sermons on the Ten Commandments and teaches that God told us to honor everyone who comes into our lives

    HONOR AND FREEDOM Well I’ve got to tell you, this has been an interesting adventure through the Ten Commandments for me. I’ve learned a lot along the way. In all honesty, when I began this study I don’t think I could have told you what every single one of the Ten Commandments are. I can do ...read more

    How to have joy in your life

    This comes from the writing of John Maxwell. “After a major earthquake occurs, they begin reporting on all the aftershocks. Even though the earth has stopped moving, there are always a few more trembles after the major quake. Changes we have come to in the past few years We went from humanism, ...read more

    John chapter 6 shows one miracle after another.

    Good morning, let’s open our Bibles to 2 Peter chapter 1, I want us to look at this passage again this week just as we did last week. To introduce our study this week I want to ask you a question: have you ever been tested by God with something in your life? I mean have you ever been in a situation ...read more

    Ecclesiastes: Wisdom For Postmoderns 3 - Is Wisdom Enough? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,078 views

    HOw do gain wisdom? Sometimes we find that what works in one situation backfires in another. But ecclesisastes helps us to see that the only source for wisdom is God himself.

    Wisdom is one of those things we all aim for as we go through life. We try to teach it to our children from an early age. We want them to avoid the mistakes that we or others have made. So what do we do? We teach them the same way people have done it for millennia: through the use of proverbs. You ...read more

     | 6,984 views

    God is “on the move”. The “LORD of Heaven’s Armies” wants His message shouted out loud, a message that says “My love is passionate and strong.”

    A Warrior’s Love July 13, 2008 Zechariah 1:7-21 Intro: Our view of ourselves and the world around us is, by necessity, quite limited. We are finite creatures, what we know comes from what we have seen and heard, from the things we have been exposed to, from the choices we make about what we ...read more

    God Is God And Has Not Changed Series

    based on 288 ratings
     | 42,784 views

    This sermon deals with five areas of God that has never changed. 1. God’s NATURE has not changed 2. God’s CHARACTER has not changed 3. God’s PLANS have not changed 4. God’s PROMISES have not changed 5. God’s LOVE has not changed

    God Is God – And Has Not Changed It has been said by some – “that to properly study mankind you must study a man.” I am not really opposed to this idea – yet I would say – to properly study a Christian – “you must study Christ.” I am aware that Christ is much more lofty than most Christians ...read more

    The Way To The Father's House Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Aug 24, 2009
    based on 68 ratings
     | 25,241 views

    This chapter is filled with promises addressed directly to the community of faith. If we take hold of these promises our anxious perspective will be changed & our faith will be increased.

    JOHN 14: 1 – 6 THE WAY TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE The disciples were completely bewildered and discouraged. Jesus had said He was going away (7:34; 8:21; 12:8, 35; 13:33), that He would die (12:32-33), that one of the Twelve was a traitor (13:21), that Peter would disown Him three times (13:38), ...read more

    Holiness For The Child Of God

    Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,697 views

    Understanding the need for Holiness is often difficult for ministers to get across to their flocks; this sermon teaches the need to seperate ourselves from the world, and worldliness.

    1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Some will argue that Holiness is not important, but I submit that if it is in the Bible it is important. Holiness in the life of a child of God is not optional but is a command; we can see that from our scripture reading. ...read more

    Jesus: The Ultimate Example Of Humility Series

     | 20,006 views

    Philippians 2:5-11 has been called the greatest text on Christ ever written. Most preachers preach this text doctrinally. But Paul meant us to understand in terms of our personal relationships. See how Jesus’ example helps us get along with others.

    HOW DID JESUS CHRIST EXHIBIT HUMILITY? 1. Jesus Christ exhibited humility in His thinking. "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God..." - Philippians 2:5-6 (NKJV) Paul says, "let this mind be in ...read more

    Why is Satan a liar? Why can’t he seem to handle the truth? And what does that tell us about the truth that’s in Christ?

    (Enter wearing a military style outfit and address the audience as a drill sergeant might raw recruits.

    Look to Jesus and Live.

    “Oh Lord, please make a bee-line for our hearts today, and convict us of our sin, and turn us to the cross of forgiveness where we might kneel in repentance.

    The Third Sermon of a Seven Part Series, ‘Stepping Stones and Stumbling Blocks to Faith.’

    I begin this morning with a riddle, or, at least what I hope is a riddle. (Or maybe a pseudo-riddle). The riddle is a common experience several of us have had over the years. Here it is: ‘Some of us have had to do it more than once. It something that we know is for our own good but is sure very ...read more

    Why Jesus? What makes Jesus unique is not only important to what we believe but it is at the heart of who we are as Christians. This sermon looks at the uniqueness of Jesus through four names associated with Jesus, names that Jesus either used of himself

    Why Jesus? Colossians 1:15-23 Who was Jesus video? Title Slide On the one hand we are part of a culture which has discredited Jesus and who he was. On the other hand, we live in a culture which has distorted and watered down the teachings of Jesus. We have been told that it doesn’t matter what you ...read more

    God glorifies the Messiah through death both to give life to his people and to honor those that die.

    Scripture Introduction John’s way of telling the story of Messiah has provided many opportunities to focus on him both as prophet (the very Word of God in human flesh) and as priest (the sacrifice for the sins of the people). In today’s text, Christ as King is the focus. 500 years ...read more
