Sermons on Purposes Of The Holy Spirit:

Already, But Not Yet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

What are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God? Where are they located? Does knowing hold any significance for the believer? The kingdom was part of Jesus' message, and it should be a part of our message too.

I have entitled our message this morning “Already, But Not Yet.” This sermon title may sound a bit strange; however, it will soon make sense. I am going to have us focus on the topic of the kingdom, and see if we can identify its location. Many of us will probably say, “Well, that’s easy! The ...read more

It’s Not Fire Insurance

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 12, 2021

This message discusses how there are people who attend church claiming faith in Christ simply because they want a ticket to heaven, or because they want their fire insurance; but, they have never truly believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

This morning, I am going to talk about the deception of professing Christ as fire insurance and as a ticket to heaven; and so, I’m going to begin with a related illustration. In the December 2001 issue of “Reader’s Digest,” the boxer Muhammed Ali was asked during an interview what his faith meant ...read more

The Curse Of Sin - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 17, 2021

Sin left a curse. God’s curse is the absence of His blessings and the fall of Adam and Eve is only one of two places in the Bible where God pronounces a curse (the other being on Cain). There is a greater reality we often fail to see and that is there is hope in the curse.

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

An article in The Reader's Digest stated that a man who had throat cancer was cured by his doctor's treating him with strong doses of vitamin C.

This was interesting because the man only received help when he received the strong dosages. In these sermons on soul winning we hope you are getting a "strong dosage" effect. It is the prayer of this pastor that by giving these "strong dosages" week after week that many of ...read more

Don’t Worry… Be Happy!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

Several years ago the #1 song on the pop charts was titled: “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.

It was an upbeat song with an upbeat message. While there was no theological message intended in the song, I think we Christians could take a lesson from the concept it employs. This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more
