     | 6,076 views

    Receive not the grace of God in vain.

    FOLLOW MY LEADER. 2 Corinthians 6:1-13. In his earlier letter, Paul had spoken of himself and others as ‘God’s fellow-workers’ (1 Corinthians 3:9). The word for “fellow-workers” gives us our English word, ‘synergy’, which speaks of a combined effort, a co-operation with God if you will. It ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 30, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,230 views

    Anticipating the Gentile mission of Acts, Luke shows how it was first initiated by Jesus, through the unlikely figure of the man who came at Jesus from the tombs.

    A MISSIONARY TO THE GENTILES. Luke 8:26-39. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more

    "This World Is Not Our Home"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jun 4, 2014
     | 5,482 views

    The sermon teaches we are on a journey, pilgrimage, or sojourning so how do we survive? We survive by embracing our foreignness, seeking Gods protection, align with other citizens, have a good attitude, and remember we are here for a reason.

    “This World is not our Home” John 17:1-19 1. Jesus said the following about the Disciples He shares they are not citizens here 14I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 16They ...read more

     | 4,194 views

    For most of us, the idea that the Messiah will judge each of us and the idea that God does not change -- and therefore we must adapt to Him and not He to us -- motivates us to surface as His followers. We recognize the wisdom of aligning ourselves to Him

    The Cream Rises to the Top (Malachi 3:1-7) 1. Sometimes people say, "It doesn’t matter what we believe, as long as we all believe there is one God?" 2. We were shocked to hear about the polygamous sect in Texas this past week. 3. According to the Associated Press, "Authorities searching the ...read more

    The Way Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Apr 7, 2025
     | 333 views

    The way of truth is a foundational concept in the Christian faith, calling believers to a life aligned with God's Word and the example of Jesus Christ. It is a path that requires dedication, discernment, and a deep commitment to living out the truth in every aspect of life.

    God has an amazing life of adventure and purpose waiting for us all. But very few people find it. A lot of people think “I tried the God thing, but it didn't work.” The problem is that the promises of God don't happen without the practices of Jesus. AND Most people aren't taught what ...read more

    This is #2 of 4 on the book of Jonah. Pain gets our attention. I orginially wrote this in 1999. I cannot remember where I got some of my material to give proper credit.

    INTRODUCTION  In the movie Pinocchio a kindly woodcutter named Geppetto is swallowed by a whale named Monstro. Inside the dark, damp belly of the whale, Geppetto sits for what seems like an eternity. Then one day the whale violently coughs, and the woodcutter is expelled from his watery ...read more

     | 3,265 views

    Even though Jesus was made Higher than angels, He came to earth as a human, a form below, so that He would be a proper High Priest and atonement for our sins. Praise the Lord!

    "Above, Yet Made a Form Below" By Sterling Franklin Hebrews 1:1-5 - 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ...read more

    Transformation

    based on 14 ratings
     | 17,012 views

    Such is the goal of being transformed; indeed, it is the goal of being a Christian! Yet why do many never experience the transformation God offers? Why do they remain "caterpillars"? Perhaps they lack the proper motivation.

    Pastor Allan Kircher Associate Pastor Shell Point Baptist Church “Be Transformed” INTRODUCTION 1. In Ro 12:1-2, Paul makes the following plea regarding transforming our lives: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and ...read more

    1. Have you ever thought about what our proper response should be to the long-suffering of God? There are grave consequences for failing to properly understand and respond to God’s great patience.

    Submitting To God In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on Jun 17, 2014
     | 5,017 views

    In our last message, we noted that proper prayer begins with REVERENCE. This morning, we are going to look at the next two statements which move us from REVERENCE to SUBMISSION in our prayers.

    We continue this morning in our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Last week, we started a somewhat “mini-series” within the larger series, as we began to study the Lord’s Model Prayer. This is the portion of the Sermon on the Mount wherein Jesus teaches His disciples how to ...read more

    Proper 15 (A) We rejected God, in the Garden of Eden and at the Cross. But He has selected us. Therefore we live confidently knowing that salvation is based in His election, not our selection.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Rejected and Selected” It seemed unreal this week, when the news broke that actor Robin Williams had died, a shock which reverberated again ...read more
