    Hope for Broken People!; Putting Humpty Dumpty Together Again. 2 Corinthians 5: 16-21

    2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Put Humpty Together Again It's a children's poem generally ignored as nonsense by adults.: HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL, HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL; ALL THE KING'S HORSES, & ALL THE KING'S MEN, COULDN'T PUT HUMPTY TOGETHER AGAIN.

    The Plumb Line

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    The Secret To Church Growth - The Bible Is All About Jesus - Not Us!

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 22, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,613 views

    When a person preaches from the Bible, with their audience as the primary focus, it becomes an empty narcissistic and hedonistic exercise in futility.

    I have watched, listened to, and read countless sermons in my 50+ years as a Born-Again Christian and I have noticed the continued increase in feel-good, self-help, multi-point motivational messages that are more focused upon fallen human beings than upon Jesus, who has become more of a ...read more

    Jesus Is Our Peace Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Nov 30, 2020
     | 5,692 views

    Jesus is our peace in the church. There will not be peace in the whole world until Jesus comes again. All scripture references are from the NASB.

    As we move into the Christmas season, “Peace on Earth” is a common theme that you hear often. The angels praised God at the birth of Jesus and said (not singing-nowhere in the Bible is there a record of the angels ever singing – chanting maybe, but not singing) “Glory to God in the highest. And on ...read more

    The following sermon is going to focus first on the false refuge of the things of this world and finish with what refuge in God looks like.

    An Outline Of Acts 20

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 8, 2023
     | 2,399 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

    1 Paul’s journeys from Ephesus to Troas Text, Acts 20:1-6, KJV: 1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And ...read more

    Punishment Of A Nation Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 2,380 views

    Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

    As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

    Have you ever pondered what Jesus meant by ‘the gates of hell’ shall not prevail against the church?

    In Mt. 16:18, Jesus replies to Peter saying, ‘…thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Have you ever pondered what Jesus meant by ‘the gates of hell’ shall not prevail against the church?

    Divisions Over Spiritual Gifts

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024
     | 601 views

    Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

    Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

    Managing Terrible Times: Windows Blown Out Or Open? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,431 views

    Liiving large in stressful times requires prayer. We are targets of a conspiracy of hate, but prayer makes us genuinely missionary. We are victims of self-centered religion, but prayer makes us compassionate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    (Singing): “Sitting by the window praying, waiting for the break of day; sitting by the window praying, waiting to hear what the Lord might say.” (Repeat) The way to live large is not only to step out in faith, as Abraham did, leaving his comfort zone; and not only to get past old defeats, even ...read more
