    Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 27, 2022
     | 1,454 views

    God's eyes are like surveillance cameras, He is watching your words, your actions, your priorities, the friends you move with, the joints you frequent, the food you eat, your thoughts, your clothes, everything is scanned - accordingly you will be rewarded.

    Surveillance cameras Acts 10:33 "So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord." An angel stood before Cornelius in shining garments! The Angel gave Cornelius all ...read more

    Idolaters worship the things God made rather than God Himself. Is there anything you feel you cannot live without? Is there any priority greater than God? Do you have a dream you would sacrifice everything to realize? Does God take first place? Do you wor

    Did Jesus Really Die And Rise Again?

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 9, 2004
    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,782 views

    The empty cross and risen Lord is the paramount doctrine upon which the believer rests his or her eternal destiny. I Corinthians 15:14 states that if Christ did not die and rise, then our preaching and faith is completely worthless.

    DID JESUS REALLY DIE AND RISE AGAIN? I CORINTHIANS 15:1-9 Key Verses: 3-4 “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the ...read more

    9 Out Of 10 Ain't Bad

    based on 90 ratings
     | 4,916 views

    This message encourages those who hear it to take time to "rest" and seek God. If we don’t take time to know God, we can never love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

    “Nine Out of Ten Ain’t Bad…” By: Pastor Wade Hatfield Today, we are going to begin by looking at the Ten Commandments. How many think they could stand up and recite all ten? Maybe not many, but I’m sure that we all know them…listen as I go over them, and it will refresh your memory. The Ten ...read more

    The Sermon on the Mount appears to contradict so many other Scriptures unless viewed through the eyes of first century Judaism. No need to strain and squeeze to harmonize Jesus teachings here with His other teachings, the OT, or the rest of the NT. The

    When we decide to die for Christ we receive the promise of eternal rest and peace from all the persecution that the world has inflicted on us. We get the blessing of having our righteous deeds follow us to Heaven.

    Let's Turn The World Over To Mothers

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,112 views

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,687 views

    Staying on fire for God can be one of the most difficult things we do. Pastor John Bishop talks to us about the Church at Laodicea and how we can maintain the joy of our salvation and share it with the rest of the world.

    PRAYER: Father, I pray that You’d bring our faith back to life. That the parts of our faith that have kind of become ’flat-lined’, this apathetic sort of indifference, that’s so affected us and it’s affected the people around us. And I pray in the name of Jesus, by the power and blood of Jesus, ...read more

    The "Grace" Question

     | 2,364 views

    Many church leaders say all we have to do is invite Jesus into our heart and we can do anything we like with the rest of our life without any concern of where we will spend eternity!.

    The "GRACE" Question If we ask Jesus to come into our heart are we saved not matter what we do with the rest of our life? Will we see the open arms of Jesus if he comes back while we are molesting a 5 year old? Will the angels bid us upward as we lift a cigarette from the seared flesh of an ...read more

    Paul calls us to count the present as a gift of God, make peace with the past, and rest assured in the future God has in store for those who are his. (This sermon could easily be modified into a funeral/memorial service message.)

    2 Timothy 4:6-8 Finishing Well Did you know the human condition is 100% fatal? How about that for a sermon starter? But the truth is, unless Jesus returns first, we will each reach that moment where we cross over from this life to eternity. What will it be like? Will we be at peace? Will we be ...read more
