    Amazed And Afraid

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,456 views

    When someone is saved, he or she will become "amazed" by how God is working. But when they get to a certain point in their journey, God might require the individual to take a step of faith, at which point he or she will become "afraid."

    This morning I wish to speak with you about a common pattern that occurs in many individual relationships with the Lord. The trend that happens over and over, and the one that we will see in our passage of Scripture, is this: An individual will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and grow ...read more

    The Danger Of A Faith That Draws Back

    Contributed by Stephen E. Trail on Mar 1, 2022

    The danger of backsliding and the even greater risk of apostasy.

    The Danger of a Faith That Draws Back Hebrews 10:23-39 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the ...read more

    Fear Of Almighty God

     | 2,342 views

    In this sermon, I want to talk to you about something that is missing in almost every church.

    WHAT IS THAT? I am talking about the FEAR OF GOD. We live in a world today that seems to have lost all fear of God. (1) THE SINNERS DO NOT FEAR GOD You will find among the young and the old, that sinners do not fear God. This is why: • The SCHOOLS of this nation are in the mess they are in • ...read more

    John Series Part 15 Revelation 6: Man’s Condemnation, John 3:18–21 Series

    Contributed by Rodney Fry on Mar 6, 2022
     | 2,040 views

    God sent His Son into the world to save the world, but this does not mean that everyone is automatically saved. In fact, some are condemned and doomed. Jesus reveals man’s condemnation.

    John Series PART 15 Revelation 6: Man’s Condemnation, 3:18–21 (3:18–21) Introduction: God sent His Son into the world to save the world, but this does not mean that everyone is automatically saved. In fact, some are condemned and doomed. Jesus reveals man’s condemnation. 1. Who ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,822 views

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

    Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,434 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    Love Those Who Are Lost

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,861 views

    Romans chapter eight ends with the amazing claim that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. But before the apostle Paul moves on with what is considered the “practical application” portion of his letter, he first needs to address his concern for those outside of Christ.

    Alba 3-6-2022 LOVE THOSE WHO ARE LOST Romans 9:1-5 Ray Stedman, who was a minister in California, once asked a congregation why they had dismissed their preacher. “Well”, they said, “he kept telling us we were all going to hell.” Steadman asked, “What does the new preacher say?” The congregation ...read more

    Looking For The Escape Clause?...the Good Samaritan

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 12, 2022
     | 3,069 views

    The story of the Good Samaritan was Jesus' way of blasting our excuses for trying to get out of obeying God to demonstrate compassion for the needy. An escape clause is a device in a contract to elude responsibility!

    LOOKING FOR THE ESCAPE CLAUSE?...The Good Samaritan Luke 10:25-37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 3 LAWYER JOKES 1. JOKE 1: A lawyer died and went to Heaven. “There must be some mistake,” the lawyer argued. “I’m too young to die. I’m only 55.” “Fifty-five?” said Saint Peter. “No, according to our ...read more

    Worship Jesus Only

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,363 views

    When the opinion of men supersedes the opinion of God, we are focusing too much on people; and there are believers who unknowingly worship people. But the only one whom we should be seeking to please and worship is Jesus.

    John once shared the account of some people who had denied Christ for fear of what the Pharisees would think. In John 12:42-43, He said, “Many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more ...read more

    Everyone has troubles. Some are better than others at covering their troubles up, but I can assure you that everyone has troubles.

    Our Attitude Should Be Gratitude Thanksgiving Sermon

     | 1,888 views

    We live in a generation where GRATITUDE is very seldom expressed. We hear a great deal of complaining instead.

    Illus: Did you hear about the doctor that was complaining to a car mechanic? He said, "Your fee is several times more per hour than we get paid for medical care." The mechanic said, "Yeah, but you see, doc, you always have the same model, it hasn't changed since Adam; but we ...read more

    Confidence During Uncertainty

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2022
     | 3,205 views

    Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

    We have been talking about having confidence during certain times in our lives--confidence when fear surrounds us, and confidence during conflicting times. Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

    Remaining Confident When We Fail

    We all fail at times. When that happens, how do we pull ourselves out of the dugout and get our heads back into the game of life?

    There was an important business executive who boarded the New Orleans to Washington train. He had a very important business meeting and he needed to be awakened in order to get off the train in Atlanta about five o'clock in the morning.

    In this text we see something that often occurs in churches. A man is sleeping in church.

    But it is more than just a man sleeping in this passage of scripture. This man named Eutychus was sitting on a window sill while Paul preached a very lengthy sermon, and he fell out the window and died. • We ministers are indeed thankful for this passage of scripture, because when we see men and ...read more
