Faith Expansion #3 Series

Contributed by Larry Walkemeyer on Sep 22, 2009

A verse by verse message on Hebrews 11:20-29 teaching people to live an "I CAN" life through faith.

Faith comes in CANS. Most of my childhood I was raised by a single mother. Her favorite saying was, “CAN’T never did anything but sit on a fence post & cry!” Whenever I said, I can’t do this. I can’t face this. She would respond with this saying. She wanted me to live in the land of FAITH, the ...read more

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Apr 20, 2009

13th in a series from Ecclesiastes. Life in the real world requires us to choose things which are better, even though they may not be perfect.

The Lamb As Lord Part I Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Apr 27, 2009

I fear that American Christians have largely lost their focus on holiness. We have allowed the things of this world and our own personal desires to distract us from loving and serving Jesus Christ as we should. The solution is to allow the Bible to renew

Revelation 8:1-6; 15:1-8 Purpose: To display God’s wrath against sin. Aim: I want the listener to gain a greater sense of God’s awesome holiness. INTRODUCTION: The Lord is about to unmask the full fury of His wrath against sin. All of man’s vain attempts to excuse or ignore sin will be stripped ...read more

Holiness For The Child Of God

Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009

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

Contributed by Richard Cook on Aug 25, 2009

Help believers understand that the Bible doesn’t teach sinless perfection; but rather endurance, perservering to the end and being an overcomer is what it’s all about.

THE SAINTS ARE JUST THE SINNERS WHO FALL DOWN AND GET UP In our modern day vernacular we have made the term “SAINT” synonymous with perfection. If someone: Lives a ...read more
