Sermons on Putting Away Unlawfully:

Laws Written On Hearts

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 19, 2017

Perhaps Jeremiah's best-known prophecy was "...I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." What law?

Blessing In Disguise

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Feb 11, 2007

Often it is difficult for us to see too far past our circumstances. In doing so we forget that God is always up to something good, if we will just put our faith in Him. There are many blessings in life that don’t look like blessings at first...

I was speaking with my mother the other day and she said that when she woke up she asked God to be involved in every part of her day. As she was about to sit down for a nice lunch with her sisters she got a call to rush a family member to the hospital. She then had to wait in the hospital waiting ...read more

Mud In Your Eye

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

Jesus tells us to walk by faith and not by sight. When we do that we give sight to all those all around us. Trust Jesus to open your eyes to the love of God and the forgiveness that is yours in Jesus. Jesus says wash away the mud from your eyes.

Mud in your eye John 9:1-21 Have you ever played in the mud? Maybe you made mud pies. Maybe you are one of those people who like tractor pulls or monster truck rallies. Some of you may have had a mud facial. Jesus found a very interesting use for mud one Sunday afternoon. He used it as a ...read more

Fix These Words In Your Hearts

Contributed by Joel Pankow on May 25, 2005

This text in Deuteronomy stresses the need to fix God’s Word in our hearts and our children’s hearts. How is this done? How does this make us feel when God puts such responsibility in our hearts? That’s what this sermon expounds on.

May 29, 2005 Deuteronomy 11:18-21, 26-28 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and souls; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Contributed by Stephen Collins on May 18, 2009

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 29, 2020

For two years, the church in Philippi had lost touch with Paul. They did not know where he was after he had been arrested in Jerusalem and then put in prison for two years. The next time they heard about him, he had been transferred to a prison in Rome.

Abner Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 2, 2022

The only engagement between the rival factions, told at length, is noteworthy since it was preceded by an encounter at Gibeon between 12 chosen men from each side, in which all 24 seem to have perished. Abner was defeated and put to flight in the general engagement that followed.

Abner In the Hebrew Bible, Abner was the cousin of King Saul and the commander-in-chief of his army. His name also appears as “Abiner son of Ner,” whereas the more extended form Abiner means “my father is Ner.” Abner is initially mentioned incidentally in Saul’s history, first appearing as the ...read more

Overcoming The World

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021

If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more

The Best Reason To Forgive

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017

We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more
