    Abram is finally getting into gear and making some real spiritual progress.

    Intro: 1. Some things are slow starters. The first electric light was so dim that a candle was needed to see its socket; One of the first steamboats took 32 hours to chug its way from New York to Albany, a distance of 150 miles; Wilbur and Orville Writght's first airplane flight lasted only 12 ...read more

    Many skeptics use Christian hypocrites as an excuse for rejecting Christ. In this sermon, we make the distinction between sinners and hypocrites. Everyone in church is a sinner, but not everyone is a hypocrite.

    Introduction: A. One day Robert Redford, the famous actor, was walking through a hotel lobby, when a woman recognized him and ran over to him. 1. With great excitement, she gushed, “Are you the real Robert Redford?” 2. As the doors of the elevator closed, he replied, “Only when ...read more

    Artificial People Living Artificial Lives - Message Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2023
     | 1,516 views

    Do people live artificial lives because they are artificial, OR they are artificial because they live artificial lives? Olives will never be produced from a fig tree. The world is full of artificial people. What about Christians – are you living an artificial life that does not please God?

    ARTIFICIAL PEOPLE LIVING ARTIFICIAL LIVES - MESSAGE [A]. EXPOSING ARTIFICIALITY I have just seen one of these documentaries set in a very exclusive English Hotel rated with 5 stars. It is popular with some of royalty and film stars and other high profile people. It is very expensive with ...read more

     | 5,031 views

    How well does Hell (the Devil and the demons) know your name? How much do they fear you and your church?

    Scripture: Acts 19:11-22 (cf. v. 15) Title: Who In Hell Knows Your Name? INTRO: Grace and Peace from God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Today’s passage is a remarkable section of Scripture. It is full of all kinds of strange stories and events. When you first read it, you might wonder ...read more

    People often use this as excuse for not being a Christian or for leaving the church. This lesson examines the question and demonstrates that such a criticism cannot be used as an excuse.

    Answering Criticisms "All Christians Are Hypocrites" Introduction 1. This is quite a criticism that is often leveled against Christians for a variety of reasons by both unbelievers and believers alike. 2. We shall consider several aspects of this accusation. I. What Is A Hypocrite? A. ...read more

    The myth we are going to look at today is "Giving Means Subtracting".

    INTRO: How many of us liked math when we were growing up? I remember in college, before being called into the ministry, I was going to get a math degree. But I realized I could not make it through Calculus 3. I just could not understand it. It’s like today living in a society that teaches us one ...read more

    God says, "It is not good for a person to be alone." How can we connect instead of cocoon in this society?

    A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagonload of wheat on the road. The farmer who lived nearby came to investigate. “Hey, Willis,” he called out, “forget your troubles for a while and come and have dinner with us. Then I’ll help you overturn the wagon.” “That’s very nice of you,” Willis ...read more

     | 6,284 views

    These gifts Jesus gave us we can never be duplicated; yet we can, in one form or another, give a toned down version of them back to God and even to our loved ones.

    Jesus, The Ultimate Gift Giver (topical) 1. WHAT CHILDREN HEAR I was reading the story of Jesus’ birth to my day-care children one morning. As usual, I stopped to see if they understood. "What do we call the three wise men?" I asked. "The three maggots," replied a bright 5-year-old. "What ...read more

    The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 21, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,767 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

    A study of the Gospel of Luke 20: 20 – 26

    Luke 20: 20 – 26 So, There Actually Are Stupid Questions 20 So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might seize on His words, in order to deliver Him to the power and the authority of the governor. 21 Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know ...read more

    Halloween, An Evangelistic Opportunity

    Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Oct 25, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,862 views

    Halloween is an opportunity to share Jesus in a very unique way. We must re-define Halloween just as Easter and Christmas was re-defined.

    Halloween, An Evangelistic Opportunity Ephesians 5:1-13 Intro: Late one dark night, two men were walking home after a party. They were tired and desperate to get home, so they decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery. They got to about the middle of the graveyard, and they were startled and ...read more

    Something No Thief Can Steal

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,995 views

    Contrast the thieves on the crosses; from Jesus they had, or could have had, salvation, assurance, companionship, things which no thief can steal.

    The scene was one of striking and even bitter contrast. While three men were being hauled off to their deaths, one of them was far different from the other two. Two of these hapless three were thieves, and as thieves they had lived by the law of the thief: namely, easy come, easy go. If you take ...read more
