Do we just hear the word of God or also do it? Let's look at Luke 8.

Luke 8 is filled with rich lessons and miracles from the ministry of Jesus around Galilee. How does this apply to us today? Do we hear the word of God and do it?

Psalm 2 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 25, 2020

The first two psalms are often considered to be designed as a pair serving as an introduction to the 150-psalm collection. The first psalm describes the difference between the blessed man and the evil man, and Psalm 2 is about triumph over the forces that oppose the faith.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

The Rejected Savior Who Will Be The Final Judge Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2021

The name and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ either brings about revival or riot, happiness or hatred, personal rage or personal redemption. It has been this way ever since His first appearing but all will bow to Him when He returns, whether they like it or not.

There are a lot of people today who want nothing to do with the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that attitude has been around since He departed this world (Acts 1:8-11). Every nation in the world (America included, unfortunately) hates Him and He is not even welcome in a number of ...read more
