Facing Our Fear Of Death Series

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Feb 10, 2003

This sermon looks at how death holds many captive by fear and how we can overcome that fear.

A number of years ago I was driving to school in our little Saturn vehicle we used to own and it was one of those cold cloudy rainy days. The roads were wet and the fog was pretty thick that morning. I was on the road that goes from Myrick to Ellisville and in my hand I help a cup of coffee. ...read more

"rising Above The Crowd"

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jun 8, 2002

This sermon emphasizes the fact that Pastors and Elders should not be the only, nor the primary, "soul winners" of the church.

“Rising Above the Crowd” Have you ever considered how our church would get along without a full-time pastor? After all, many of the young churches of the New Testament didn’t have a “pastor” there most of the time but they grew and flourished just the same. The fact is, that with ...read more

Spiritual Immorality Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Aug 26, 2008

The ignorance of the Hebrews leads them to unfaithfulness. They are naive and think culture will not effect them spiritually. Let us overcome our ignorance and protect our faith.

The people of Israel are on the plains of Moab across the river Jordan about 10 miles southeast of Jericho, they are preparing to enter into the promise land.

In The Beginning God Series

Contributed by Bruce Montgomery on Apr 21, 2008

The starting point for truly knowing God is through God’s self-revelation; and the foundation and starting point for learning what God has revealed about Himself is the study of Genesis

In the Beginning God GE 1:1 By Dr. R. Bruce Montgomery Why Genesis? I enjoy and have benefited from learning stories of Jesus and the apostles, studying the theological teachings of Paul and practical day-to-day instructions of James. But why GENESIS?

Tongue Tamers

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 20, 2012

The tongue is a powerful tool. However, as someone once said, "When it is good there is nothing better but when it is bad there is nothing worse." It's that last part that moves us to understand the importance of taming the tongue.

TONGUE TAMERS James 3:1-12 INTRODUCTION: In northern New Mexico, at around 5 AM on July 16, 1945, the still dark early morning sky became as bright as the noonday sun. In that one blinding flash, the Atomic Age had begun. The atomic fireball shot upwards at 360 feet per second. The characteristic ...read more

Banishing Two Bandits Behind Bars Series

Contributed by John Bartol on Aug 20, 2012

Sermon # 11 - A Night That Changed Everything Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 8, 2024

We have a mighty God who can turn things around overnight. If only we can trust God and commit everything to Him in prayer, we will experience God’s miraculous intervention in our seemingly impossible situations.

We read in Genesis 19:27-28, “Early the next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood in the presence of the LORD. He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley and saw rising from the land, like smoke from a huge furnace.” (GNB) God had revealed to Abraham that He was ...read more

Two Kings, Two Paths

Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Oct 12, 2025

Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

Jesus Tells Date Of His Crucifixion Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 12, 2019

Here in this passage, Jesus predicts His death at the hand of the ones who should have been the first to accept him as Israel’s Messiah. It is incredible that these religious leaders perpetrated history’s greatest crime during Israel’s holiest festival.

JESUS TELLS DATE OF HIS CRUCIFIXION INTRODUCTION Life presents us with many opportunities; how we respond to them depends on what we love and what we look for in life. The Jewish leaders looked for the opportunity to destroy Jesus, while at the same time Jesus was anticipating the opportunity ...read more

Revived To Die?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 9, 2009

What must it have felt like to be revived, only to know that you will die again? It is true of a church that has undergone revival. Some will even try to kill the revival. Embrace it, unbind it.

We always welcome visitors in our church from wherever they may come. But I do wonder today if we have any visitors from the other side. The other side, you know. No, I don’t mean the Catholics. I mean the other other side. Do we have any visitors from beyond the grave? Thus begins the sermon ...read more
