Just Ordinary People Series

Contributed by Glenn Narvaez on May 31, 2015

Believers will know that Jesus is a miracle-working God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Believers will also put their faith in Jesus, believe his miracles and walk in daily expectancy of his miracles in their lives.

INTRODUCTION: Good morning. Praise God for this new day. This is the day that God has made we will rejoice and be glad. I won’t worry about tomorrow. I’m trusting in what you say. Today is the day. If you are here this morning, it is not an accident. God has a plan for you. He will ...read more

Ordinary People Unleashed Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Nov 2, 2020

God unleashes the extraordinary through ordinary people.

An ordinary Sunday School teacher named Ed was concerned for a young man in his class named Dwight, so he shared Christ with him in the back room of a shoe store. Dwight got saved and eventually became a well-known evangelist. Years later, when preaching in the British Isles, Dwight told the ...read more

A Promise For His People Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jun 26, 2021

When the worries of life press us down, we do not have to bear them alone! Notice how much of our burden we are supposed to give to the Lord. "All your care" We are told to give it all up to Jesus!

I. A SURRENDERED PEOPLE A. V. 5-6 WE MUST SURRENDER OUR WILL TO GOD – Peter quotes Proverbs 3:34 in verse 5, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” He says - "Clothe yourselves with Humility" literally means to "wear the apron of a slave". True humility before ...read more

David Is Picked By The People.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Jul 3, 2021

Why is this text important? There doesn't seem to be any great revelation here.

Sermon Title: David is picked. Scripture Text: 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 9-10 5:1 Then all the tribes of Israel went to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the Lord told ...read more

"Inviting People To The Party” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jan 15, 2018

How should we go about inviting people to come to Christ?

Jesus enjoyed parties. His very first miracle was at a wedding feast. When He called Matthew to follow Him, He went to Matthew’s house for a party. So it’s not surprising, when the religious leaders criticized Him, they said He went to too many parties, attended by wrong people. “The Son of Man ...read more

"There Are No Perfect People” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jan 29, 2018

Christians are sinners saved by grace.

Many have a hard time imagining a God who wants to be close to us. They think that maybe God insists we clean ourselves up first. But God says don’t bother to get cleaned up. Just come as you are. Come with all your defects, faults and flaws. Come with your guilt and bad habits. Come as you are and ...read more

Witnessing To Postmodern People

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

Covenant People In The Dock.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2022

When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

Mistaking People For Gods

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 13, 2022

Ayn Rand's philosophy would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring on the sacrifice. I am a god!”

When I was teaching, my religion class would always study the philosophy of Ayn Rand, a deracinated Jew whose ideal of rugged individualism influenced people like Alan Greenspan and Rush Limbaugh. Her notions would have led her, I think, if put in the position of Paul and Barnabas, to say, “bring ...read more

You People Are Awesome! Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 11, 2021

Most everyone likes looking at pictures in family photo albums, because there are always a couple that make us smile every time we look at them. Paul has similar feelings as he begins this letter to the church at Philippi.

I. Intro A. Who likes to look at pictures in family photo albums? Are there some photos that make you smile every time you look at them? What about every time you think about them? B. We enjoy singing here so much—whenever people ask us what we do, we tell them—but among all the things we’re part ...read more

Forgiving Difficult People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more

Be A Servant To All People Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

Are All People Sinners? Series

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 13, 2022

Paul answers the question that he gives to the Jews, “Are we better than they?” referring to the Gentiles. His answer is in no wise are we better. Paul calls attention to again that each individual is that “they are all under sin,” regardless of whether Jewish or Gentile.

Romans 3:9-23 contains a series of statements from the Old Testament Scriptures. Paul utilizes these to show that the Jews and Greeks are similar under transgression. Subsequent to setting up that “there is none that doeth good” from Psalm 14:1, Paul utilizes statements from Psalms and Isaiah to ...read more
