Changing Our Name

Contributed by Rhonda Feurtado on Oct 30, 2010

God changed Abram's name when he made the covenant with him. In the Bible, changing of names often indicates something significant happening in a person's life. When we let God into our life, things are different. God wants to enter into covenant relation

Mother’s Day sermon revolving around Moses’ mother. There is a motherhood crisis in America where many have come to view children as a distraction rather than a blessing.

To share how holding a grudge is no good for anyone and how we must lay them to the side and move on in life.

Suffering Shame In The Name

Contributed by Mark Wood on Mar 9, 2006

Dr. Wood used this sermon to show the congregation that the first witnesses of Jesus Christ were willing at any moment to give their life for the ministry of Jesus Christ. Our call today is no different. We should be willing to die for the Gospel of Jes

Suffering Shame in the name of any person simply means that you have given your life to that person in order to suffer shame. We think of the negative aspect of suffering shame.

Family Names In Stone

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Dec 2, 2008

We have a world filled with people competing with each other to survive instead of relying on each other for survival. We have a world that is selfish and self centered instead of selfless and self sacrificing.

Family Names in Stone Luke 3:23-25 Today I want to look at Jesus genealogy as recorded in Luke chapter 3. Here we have listed Marys family tree that is traced all the way back to Adam. In Matthews gospel we have the genealogy from Abraham to Jesus. Matthew traces Jesus to Abraham for a Jewish ...read more

Rahab: Remember The Name Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 30, 2022

Read Hebrews chapter 11 hall of faith. Where is Joshua? Where is Caleb? They did not make the hall of faith list. Rahab the harlot did. She is a great Old Testament hero of the faith.

Rahab is a harlot, a prostitute. In the footnote of my Bible it says that she is possibly the innkeeper. No, that is not a possible interpretation, and I will mention why a little later. When we come to the book of Joshua we come to a new era for the people of Israel with a new leader: Joshua. ...read more

The Deceptive Power Of Compromise

Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 10, 2007

When a Christian compromises his godly values and rationalizes that the ends justify the means, he opens the door to all kinds of trouble, not only in his own life, but in the lives of many others.

Compromise is not always bad. I heard one preacher say that he torn the word compromise out of his dictionary. I thought, “You must not be married!” However, if we compromise our godly values, we open the door for trouble in our lives. This is true because God loves us, and when we start in ...read more
