Preaching The Whole Gospel

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 29, 2007

Many of the problems we’re experiencing the church in America can be traced back to the fact that we’re only preaching part of the gospel ("believe in Jesus") while ignoring the rest of the basic gospel message laid out by Paul in Romans.

A Burden On My Heart: In many churches today it’s not so much that we’re preaching a false gospel as that we’re preaching an incomplete gospel. - Quite a while back, God began to point out to me a lot of references throughout the NT to a particular truth (and I’ll get into what that was here in a ...read more

Warning This World Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

Contributed by Cedric Portis on Jan 22, 2002

Do Not Worry - Matthew 6:31-33

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 22, 2018

Here in the Sermon On The Mount Jesus says, "Do not worry" and in doing so He is establishing the proper eternal priorities for His followers. Living in the kingdom of God and in His righteousness comes first. While the needs of this life are in His hands

The Message Of The Church Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 4, 2019

Having shared much in regard to establishing a firm foundation for the church, Paul emphasized the priority of the church - sharing the Gospel, above all else. Grace brings salvation, and then enables us to live for Christ. Transformed lives are the goal of the church.

The Message of the Church Titus 2: 11-15 Paul had already provided much insight for Titus in regard to establishing a firm foundation upon which to build the church. He had instructed him to ordain elders in every city, those who would be able to aid in the leadership and ministry of the church. ...read more

Are You Choking?

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013

Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

Often as Christians, we need to take a step back from our busy lives to examine where we are as Christians. We need to ask ourselves many questions: Have I been growing? Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more

Remember The Sabbath Day Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 24, 2022

The Sabbath cannot be found on any calendar! It is one day out of every seven days that we are to rest from our work. The argument of the Sabbath being Saturday or Sunday is nothing more than an exercise in futility!

The Ten Commandments are the foundation of God's Law. I say that because the Bible indicates more than just these ten. Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.
