Be An Example

Contributed by David Marks on Oct 3, 2007

Paul’s words to Timothy provide an outline that we as believers should follow in our daily life. The really cool thing is if we follow this simple outline, not only will we be saved, but those who hear what we have to say will also be saved. In other wo

In I Timothy 4:11-16 Paul writes the following to Timothy. Command and teach these things. Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.

The Pattern Of The Kingdom Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

God’s people in God’s place, the place of his blessing, the Blessed World, living in obedience to God’s commands, in harmony with one another and caring for God’s creation as good stewards of all that God has provided. That’s as good a description of par

Past, Present, And Future

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 1, 2010

As we begin a new year, we need to consider looking back, where we were; looking inward – where we are; and looking ahead – where we are going. Paul in Philippians 3 provides us with an example of evaluating one’s past, present, and future.

Past, Present and Future Philippians 3:1-17 Introduction: As we stand at the door steps of a new year, we need to consider looking back, where we were; looking inward – where we are; and looking ahead – where we are going.

Condemnation!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jun 13, 2008

Many of God’s people walk in condemnation when God not only has provided victory but desires us to walk in life, peace and victory. In this out line we share some of the promises God has given to His people to help them overcome in their walk with Him.

CONDEMNATION! John 8:3-12 John 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: ...read more

An Honest Confession Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 16, 2008

God’s victory over sin (59:15b-21) is not provided until genuine repentance is entered. The outpouring of God’s grace in our lives awaits our humble honest admitting to the hideousness of our sins & our powerlessness to save ourselves from them.

ISAIAH 59: 9-15a AN HONEST CONFESSION This section continues describing the people’s sin, but now its seriousness, their helplessness to change, and the effects of their sins become realized by people. Isaiah has just boldly confronted the people ...read more

He Nailed It

Contributed by William Akehurst on Nov 25, 2011

We use the saying when someone does something perfectly. “They nailed it” JESUS perfectly forgave us and provided for our salvation when HE NAILED IT to the cross. Jesus Christ perfectly ‘nailed it’, salvation for you and me.

Will You Wait On God? Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 22, 2012

Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

Lesson 34: Taste And See That The Lord Is Good Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 27, 2019

After celebrating God's gracious dealings with him, the Psalmist exhorts others to put His providential care to the test, and instructs them on how to secure it. He then contrasts God's care of His people and His corrective providence towards the wicked.

Hearing More Clearly From God Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 14, 2018

The story of the boy Samuel provides clues to hear more clearly from God: we need to cultivate our environment, obey with what we do know God wants, and listen with a servant's heart. In doing so, we set ourselves up to be better listeners and obeyers.

1 Samuel 3:1-20 Hearing More Clearly from God Prophets with a Purpose – week 1 Today we’re starting a five-week series I’m calling, “Prophets with a Purpose.” A prophet or prophetess is someone who speaks for God.

The Man Of Sorrows

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 16, 2018

Isaiah lived some seven hundred years prior to Jesus, and yet he revealed much about the significance of His life and death. Jesus fulfilled every prophecy regarding His first advent. I am thankful He came to provide the means of our salvation.

The Man of Sorrows Isaiah 53: 4-6 As I consider the Bible as a whole, there are specific chapters that seem to stand out above the rest. I do not imply these are any more inspired, or needful than the rest, but they are of such rich substance that I feel inadequate to enter their eternal standing. ...read more

Reading The Bible Literally

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 7, 2020

Paul's instruction that the Corinthians were to "greet one another with a holy kiss" provides a nice open door for discussing whether we are to take the Bible literally. This message looks at four considerations that we need to keep in mind to read the Bible correctly.

- I have four questions for you as we begin. Let me hear an “Amen” if you agree with what I say: a. The Bible is the Word of God. b. We believe in the Bible. c. The Bible is literally true. d. When I came into church, I greeted everyone with a holy kiss. - Where were all the cries of “Amen” ...read more
