    "Living Like Our Lord" Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 25, 2016
     | 5,960 views

    If we are to live like our Lord, then our lives will be characterized by love.

    In this section of Scripture, the key verse is verse 6. John tells us that as followers of Jesus, we should aspire to live like Him. But what does a Christ-like life look like? John says a Christ-like life is characterized by one primary virtue - Love! This shouldn't surprise us at all, since ...read more

    How To Impact Our Culture

    Contributed by Mike Mcguire on May 5, 2016
     | 6,103 views

    Thesis: Preaching the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit will affect our culture more than preaching against sins.

    Introduction: There is no doubt that our culture is in danger. I'm not speaking of just Anglo or Hispanic. I mean that our culture is becoming more chaotic and dangerous. Leaders disagree as to the best way to preserve society. The world's answer is to pass more laws, build more prisons, and ...read more

    I Am Barabbas Series

    Contributed by Jay Tigner on May 7, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,663 views

    Jesus was killed while Barabbas, the genuinely guilty, was set free. This is a picture of salvation in that Jesus died so we, the guilty, may be set free.

    The Irony of Good Friday… I am sure that the irony that reveals itself in the fact that we refer to today as Good Friday does not escape our minds. From the perspective of all who bore eyewitness to the events that transpired during the 24 hours of that first Good Friday, it was anything ...read more

    How would you summarize the Gospel message? Do it in one sentence. Now, take what you have, and shorten it. Can you do it? Paul can. He summarizes the Gospel message with just four small words....God...is...for...us!

    The message of salvation is the most important thing that we will ever hear in our lives. It is also something that we are called to share as well. If you had to summarize the Gospel message in one sentence, how would you do it? What words or phrases might you use? What things would you ...read more

    Martyrdom Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 24, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,552 views

    Jesus doesn't promise He'll deliver us from our stresses (Tribulation), He does, however, promise to use our suffering for good, and offers an eternal weight of glory in return for our sacrifice.

    And to the Angel of the Church in Smyrna, write: These things says the first and the last, who died and came to life I know your tribulation (stresses) and poverty, but abudance And the blasphemy of those who claim themselves to be Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan.

    What does abiding in Christ, who is the true vine mean for me today - mission?

    Sermon Story: When Maddy and I lived in Switzerland we had a couple of vines in the back garden. To be honest, the first year we were there - they looked pretty awful and so Maddy asked her father - as he had been a farmer - to come round and trim them to see if we could get any fruit. I got a ...read more

    The Will Of God For The Lost Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 6, 2012
     | 7,024 views

    Should we say "lost" is it another one of those words that are archaic and out of date? No the parable ofthe lost sheep, coin, and son show that God's heart is in seeking, desiring to find the lost. God's will for the lost is clear. His will for the c

    Intro: God’s will for the lost is that none should perish that all should come to repentance. This is 2 Peter 3.9. God’s Word translation gives a wonderfully clear picture of God’s will for people that are separated from Him by sin. “The Lord isn't slow to do what he ...read more

    Samson, A Man With An Ethical Blind Spot Series

    Contributed by Rev. Clarence Eisberg on Oct 27, 2015
     | 7,927 views

    Samson and Delilah the stuff of real human drama. It is one of the great classic tragedies of all literature—sacred or secular. Some parts of this sermon were gleaned from a sermon by Rev. Charles Swindal

    “Samson, A Man with an Ethical Blind Spot” (Judges 13-16) There are certain stories in the Bible which fit into a very special category. Those are the stories which reveal the essence of the people in the story. That is to say, if you know the story, you know what the people are like ...read more

     | 5,734 views

    Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

    Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd. The selections are Matthew 11:16-20 and 11:25-30, leaving out what is between. The first selection talks about the people rejecting the message of both ...read more

    What can we learn from the very brief account of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness left us by the Gospel of Mark?

    With the Wild Beasts: An Exposition of Mark 1:9-15 We have now come to the First Sunday of Lent which is a forty-day season of reflection and repentance.

    Christ offers his life for us, the undeserving; now we are to offer our lives as "living sacrifices" for him.

    Text: Romans 5: 6-8 This morning I want to talk to you about SACRIFICE. Not like some of the sacrifices we are from time to time asked to make…perhaps financial sacrifice, or sacrifice of some of our time. ….But the kind of sacrifice wherein one person lays down their life for the sake of ...read more
