    A Matter Of The Heart

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Nov 3, 2015
     | 5,155 views

    Unless and until you believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead you will not be changed from a sinner to a Saint. For many people is it the 18 inches between the head and the heart that is the obstacle to their faith in Christ.

    A Matter of the Heart Romans 10:8-9 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised ...read more

    It is a sermon about King David and his knowledge that no matter what, God was with him. That even though he was a sinner, he could go before God with his broken and contrite heart and receive forgiveness.

    The apostle Paul writes to the Church in Rome and in the 8th Chapter of that missive he says: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE KILLED ALL DAY ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 11, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 38,348 views

    Mephibosheth is a type of the redeemed sinner, who is lifted from exile, poverty, and separation to favor, a vast inheritance, and inclusion in the royal family. "Those called ‘not my people,’ will be called 'children of the Living God!'"

    MEPHIBOSHETH FROM LODEBAR 2 Sam. 9:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two robins were sitting in a tree. "I'm really hungry," said the first one. "Me too," said the second. "Let's fly down and find some lunch." 2. They flew to the ground and found a nice plot of plowed ground full of worms. They ...read more

     | 2,483 views

    To deal with sin in a way that helps people, first you cry, because you care. Then you judge, urging the believing sinner to repent. And if he or she refuses, you purge them from the church.

    Dr. Stephen L. Anderson, a professor in Ontario, Canada, had what he called a moment of “startling clarity” a little over 10 years ago. He was teaching a section on ethics in his senior philosophy class, and he needed an “attention-getter”—something to shock his students and force them to take an ...read more

     | 1,996 views

    We are justified through faith which brought peace with God. God hated the sinners and he had determined to punish them eternally. With the intervention and propitiation of Jesus Christ, we are redeemed and reconciled with God.

    Isaiah's Encounter With The Holiness Of God (Isaiah 6:1-8)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 4, 2024
     | 1,420 views

    Isaiah receives a vision of the LORD God Almighty in HIs glory and splendor. He recognizes himself for the sinner that he is, yet God commissions him to be His prophet. This is an encounter of reverence, fear, and service.

    The events described in Chapter 6 of Isaiah occur early in the life of the prophet. We read in verse 1 that King Uzziah had died after a reign of fifty-two years. He is also referred to Azariah. He was a king who walked in the ways of the LORD until he tried to offer incense in the Temple, ...read more

    Jesus needed to go and spend some time at Sychar, Samaria. There was a little sinner lady that Jesus saw her potential. Jesus invested time and love to win her. He that wins souls is wise.

    Verdict: Guilty

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,179 views

    We were guilty until Jesus came and paid the price. Now we can free. How? Realizing we are sinners, believe that Jesus died for our sins and accept him as our Savior.

    The salvation of a soul from sin is a work of great proportion. It is a work of God o behalf of man. Nothing greater has ever been done for you and me. The writer of the book of Hebrews speaks of this work, which is all of God, as “so great salvation.” Before anyone can have a clear concept of this ...read more

     | 6,690 views

    Special days are marked in red on many calendars. On God’s calendar it is a red letter day when a sinner accepts the Lord. It could also be a tragic day, as the Day of the Lord also refers to a time of judgment

    A RED LETTER DAY FOR YOU AMOS 5:18 - 27 Scripture Reading: Amos 5:18-27 Responsive Reading: Joshus 7:1-26 Introduction: One of the things that we all have in common are special days.

    God wants the repentant sinner to give his/her life to him. This message preachers to the people of God encouraging them not to be like those who procrastinated as illustrated in Jesus’s great parable on the wise and the foolish.

    (25:1) "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto ten virgins, which took there lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom". (25:2) "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish."

    When God Was At His Best

    based on 31 ratings
     | 10,768 views

    God was at His best when he forgave a sinner on Nov. 7, 1978 in a church in Mpls. Mn.. To me that was the day God was at His best! The premise is God is at His best when he saves souls.

    When God was at His best? (Sermon idea and title is from E.V. Hill’s message called “God at His Best” spoken at the Evangelism Summit at Willow Creek Community Church in Oct. of 1998).

    Is Hell Real?

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Mar 4, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,889 views

    Our vision of a loving God makes the idea of a punitive Hell very unnerving for us. Jesus speaks of God’s love, but he also tells us in the Gospels about God’s punishment for sinners.

    Additional Text: Genesis 15:1-18 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Is Hell Real?

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,985 views

    This could be anyone of us, what would these people think if they knew what I have done. Face this Giant and watch him fall. We must remember that the church is a hospital for sinners not a rest home for saints.

    The Giant of Desperation. There is a desperate person who sits in the corner of the assembly today. Dry mouth, moist palms, scarcely moves for fear of detection. He feels out of place in a room full of saints, but where else will he go? He has violated every belief he every had, he has hurt ...read more

    This message reveals the great grace, mercy, and love of God extended to the lost sinner. But only those willing to realize their sinful condition, and repent from the heart can be true recipients of the Father’s forgiveness and restoration.
