    The Sin Of Being Ordinary

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jun 18, 2008

     | 7,370 views

    This sermon shows that we are not pleasing to God by being ordinary... He calls us to be EXTRAORDINARY!

    The Sin of Being Ordinary Acts 16:23-31 Intro: Perhaps many of you have already rebelled against this title. You think, there is nothing wrong with being ordinary. In fact, it was Abraham Lincoln who said, "God must love the common people, he made so many of them." You may say that it is the ...read more

    Knowledge Seeks Understanding

    Contributed by Heather Wilson on Aug 18, 2018
     | 10,386 views

    Seeking knowledge from God pleases Him and helps us to discern and apply it correctly.

    We are given some background to this passage. David was King of Israel for forty years. He ruled seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

    God Is In Control Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,134 views

    To believe that God is in control is huge (especially for us 'control freaks'). It takes a lot of faith and even more surrender, but when taken by faith it opens up a world of peace and hope.

    I must admit that at the moment I write this, my faith in God's sovereignty is being tested so severely, I struggle to finish the first paragraph.* I wish I could say the great truth of God's sovereignty was a bedrock of my life - but I confess to have great trouble accepting it - much less ...read more

    Mercy: Tender And Severe Series

    Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 4, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,886 views

    God is compassionate and he is also severe. "Our God is in heaven; he does all that he pleases."

    Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases (Psalm 115.2-3). INTRODUCTION It is often difficult for the post-modernist reader to accept the doctrine of God’s sovereignty in salvation, even though it is one of the principles most ...read more

    what kind of church would God design? How does it match up with the 21st Century, Americanized church? Give it some thought.

    God’s Kind of Church 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 * If you have ever built a house for your family, then you know a little about decisions, frustrations, and more.

    There is a work going on inside each of us, which God has begun. Because God started this work, we can have confidence the end result will be clear. God desires to do great things for us all the days of our lives. He wants to see His plan fulfilled in eac

    based on 25 ratings
     | 12,431 views

    Although it is true that God wants to bring His children joy, it is surprisingly true that we can bring God joy too! (these sermons parallel Rick Warren’s "Purpose Driven Life" chapters, in this case, ch.8-14; but they are not a repeat, rather same theme

    Introducing: God Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,996 views

    The Beatitudes (it means "blessing") are probably the most famous words Jesus uttered. They are also among the most mis-understood. To understand the Beatitudes we need to know Jesus person and His mission.

    The Sermon on the Mount is perhaps the most famous part of Jesus’ earthly ministry. I think it’s safe to say that more people are familiar with at least parts of this series of sermons than are the account of the cross. In Matthew’s gospel (which is ordered topically more than chronologically) ...read more
