Let Others Off The Hook

Contributed by Kl Burrus on Oct 24, 2007

You can be assured at sometime in your life your going to be hurt by another person. So what can you do about it? Is there a healing for emotions? Is there mending for a broken heart? The answer is yes but the remedy is so often overlooked.

2nd Samuel 14:13-14 / Let Others Off The Hook 13And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished. 14For we must needs die, and are as ...read more

Do Your Ears Itch?

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Oct 28, 2007

It seems like so many people have been revamping God’s Word lately, to make it less offensive, or more inclusive, or less intrusive into our personal behavior. Many of these people are clergy, which is even more disheartening.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Do your ears itch? It seems like so many people have been revamping the Word of God lately, to ...read more

Frightened Or Fascinated

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Jun 30, 2005

Are we frightened into a relationship with God out of fear of hell or are we fascinated with having a personal relationship with God? This sermon looks at both Isaiah 43:1-7 and Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 to find an answer to this question.

Frightened or Fascinated Isaiah 43:1-7 / Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 Intro: We all have expectations of relationships, children, marriage, children, and even the church. I. Israelites had expectations – VS 15 – Needed to be expectant if God’s salvation was to appear. A. Expected to be the “chosen” ...read more

Deception

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 27, 2005

Hosea’s own personal tragedy fades into the background as Israel is examined under God’s searchlight. The events of this chapter summarize what Gomer has done and what Israel has done. What happens to Gomer will happen to Israel.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In a recent survey it was found that 15 percent of the ladies tinted their hair, 38 percent wore rouge, 98 percent wore eye shadow, 22 percent wore false eyelashes, 93 percent wore nail polish.

When To Cause Trouble In The Church Series

Contributed by James Mccullen on May 18, 2005

Should a person ever cause trouble in the church? Yes! This sermon tells you when. It is my desire to preach the Bible during the entire sermon. Please note all points and sub-points are tied to the scripture. This sermon is expository in style.

WHEN TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH Galatians 2:1-10 (NASB) 1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. {2} And it was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the ...read more

Flora's Message

Contributed by Ryan Akers on Sep 22, 2005

This is a very simple sermon written specifically for a lady in our church who passed away. But the message is a salvation message. I hope you may be able to use it to help you in writing a personal message about someone in your church.

From the moment I walked through the door of Warrenton Wesleyan Church 16 months ago I knew there was something special about Flora. I will admit that I pride myself in trying to learn and remember names, but for some reason, and I have never admitted this, I have the hardest time remembering ...read more

Building Community - Value One Another Series

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001

As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more

Letters From The Enemy

Contributed by J. Martin on Feb 27, 2005

The Bible teaches about an instance in which king Hezekiah received a letter from Sennacherib, king of Assyria and his most determined enemy. Sennacherib ordered complete surrender, but not without first diplaying his military prowess and personal pride.

Letters can be wonderful! Especially when we receive them from a loved one. A son whose far away fighting in a war; a father or mother who writes to tells us the illness has passed; a sister who informs us the baby has finally arrived. But there are also those letters that we would never like to ...read more

The Ways Of The Wise

Contributed by Ryan Sato on Dec 25, 2004

Are we among the wise of this generation? What does it mean to be a person who walks in Kingdom-wisdom? Perhaps some sages from the first Christmas can shed some light upon our paths as we walk into a new year.

Opener: Here we find ourselves in the house of the Lord the day after Christmas!? How do we feel about that?? Traditionally, Boxing day is this: The holiday’s roots can be traced to Britain, where Boxing Day is also known as St. Stephen’s Day. Reduced to the simplest essence, its origins are ...read more

Dropped Cloths Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2008

The young man who lost his linen cloth and ran away naked may be a wealthy person, depending on status; or Lazarus, living in the past, or Mark, caught in immaturity. But He who dropped another linen cloth gives life.

Not too many years ago, Easter was the day on which everyone trotted out new clothes. It was on Easter that spring dresses sprung off the racks for young girls, and starched collars irritated the necks of young men. I don’t miss the starched collars, but I do rather miss the elaborate display of ...read more

The Questions Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009

Christmas brought three questions which every person needed to deal with as they encountered the Christ child. Christmas isn’t so much about what God has done for us as it is about our response to the Christ child and to these questions.

The Questions of Christmas Luke 2:8-20 It’s tough to miss Christmas if you live in America today. We hear the ads on the radio and TV, see the lighted houses and buildings, the decorated yards in our neighborhoods, and the displays inside every store remind us Christmas is coming in case we’ve ...read more
