    What might be the significance of the miracles that occurred when Jesus died?

    Last time we considered the miracle of the darkness that covered the face of the land for some three hours, while Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world. We noted that He suffered the horror of hell itself for our sake, and after having fully paid the price for our sins, and only after ...read more

    When one is edified, he is letting the Word powerfully have its effect in a Spirit filled manner.

    Edification or "built up" in the Faith Pastor W. Max Alderman Text: Col.3: 16-21 Introduction: To be edified or "built up" in the faith requires that a man be filled with the spirit and obedient to the Word. In reality a person cannot be filled with the spirit who ...read more

    The importance of ’denying oneself’ and ’taking up the cross.’

    TAKING UP THE CROSS MARK 8:27-38 INTRODUCTION... How do you work this thing? There’s the story of a soldier frantically digging in during battle as shells fall all around him.

    A Wake-Up Call

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,655 views

    There is no doubt that the early church needed a wake-up call. So Peter was chosen to get it, and to be the point man for the inclusion of the Gentiles into the church of Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 10:9-23 Intro: It’s amazing how often in Scripture God’s entire plan hangs on one person. 1. Noah chosen to build the ark 2. Abraham called to believe. 3. Joseph tested and approved. 4. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for sins 5. Now Peter, being challenged to turn from his ...read more

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,717 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    Because we are God’s children and because our cross will soon turn into a crown we will be cheerful no matter what our circumstances in life.

    One day the reformer Martin Luther was feeling rather down. The Pope was after him. His colleagues were bickering among themselves. He felt the heavy pressure that came with being a professor, pastor, and father. And he was in excruciating pain from kidney stones. As he moped around the house ...read more

    This sermon is a wake-up call for teenagers and their parents in the wake of a fatal car accident.

    “WAKE UP CALL” Psalm 57 INTRO – I don’t know many people who actually like this sound (play sound of alarm clock). These come in all sorts of designs with all sorts of sounds. Wake up to the sound of a beep, the radio, a CD, or the sound of rain, or the pounding surf, or crickets chirping. ...read more

    Reality TV has captured the attention of viewers. Each week contestants are getting voted out, asked to leave, or just plan fired. When you stand before God, the Almighty Judge, will you get fired up or will you be fired from eternity?

     | 19,204 views

    It is time for the Church to arise in the mist of the dark world of sin and shine for the glory of Christ.

    “GET UP AND GLOW” Intro: I believe that every church ought to have a vision and mission of what they feel that God would have them to do in reaching out to their area with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The challenge I have for you and I as a Church is that which the Lord began to ...read more

    This week we’re going to talk about the difference between how we want to be perceived as Christians, and how we should be perceived. Learn how we’re nothing special, but we’ve got an important job to do.

    How do you like to be seen? What’s the image you like to portray to the outside world? Maybe for you its self confidence, or knowledgeable, or “too cool for school”. At a golf course, four men approached the sixteenth tee. The straight fairway ran along a road and bike path fenced off on the ...read more

    This is about the letter to Thyatira.

    There is a British comedy show called Keeping Up Appearances. (Give brief overview of the show.) Things aren’t always as they appear. The middle church of the seven is a church where things weren’t as they appeared. Read Revelation 2:18-29. One thing that is fascinating about this letter is ...read more

    Saul, Pt. 2

    HURRY UP AND WAIT (1 SAMUEL 11) It’s been said, “Rome is not built in a day.” When I was in elementary school I was in a big hurry to grow up. I was skinny and short.
