  • "the Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1:1"

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 2, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,350 views

    When we stop to meditate on the first verse of Holy Scripture, we see not only the majesty and power of Almighty God in action, but if we look deeper, we also see the beginnings of scientific thought and the real explanation for the origin of life and the universe.

    "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1, KJV). Consider for a moment how solemn, powerful and wondrous these opening words of Holy Scripture are. They present the work, thought, and exactness of Almighty God. You are probably saying to yourself, ...read more

  • The Heart Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,106 views

    Truth is not only a matter of the head, embracing truth through our rational abilities, but also through the disposition of our inward choice.

    Intro – The Heart of Truth Let me begin by asking a question… is truth a matter of the head or the heart? Do we embrace truth through the deduction of our rational abilities… or through the disposition of our inward choice? This is an issue that Jesus is going to challenge us with ...read more

     | 3,438 views

    Are you opting out of Sunday morning because you are a cutting edge postmodern thinker blazing the trail to a new kind of christianity; or are you just sleeping in and living in lukewarm apathy?

    Dakota Community Church August 10, 2008 Living in Laodicea Last week in my sermon on baptism I mentioned that for a while I described myself as emergent on my Facebook profile but that I had removed it. I like the idea of having a discussion about how we do things, how we treat sin and sinners, ...read more

  • The Seven Causes Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021
     | 4,457 views

    We need to look at suffering from the point of view of the great Christian thinkers of the centuries, and not lock ourselves into any one simple theory that ends up making God the culprit.

    Someone has said that half truths are whole lies. One of the greatest causes for conflicts and misunderstanding among Christians through the ages has been over enthusiasm for a half truth. People will take an idea that has a portion of the truth and wrap it up in a box and say it is The Truth. ...read more

  • The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,042 views

    One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

    When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,059 views

    We are better off taking our position as lost and helpless sinners before God than we are fighting Him with our objections and rationalizations.

    Facing Reality or Fighting God’s Truth? (Romans 3:1-20) 1. LONDON (Reuters) - A leading British brain surgeon has been suspended from work following a dispute over a bowl of soup. Dr Terence Hope was sent home from the Queen’s Medical Center in Nottingham, where newspapers say there is a ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,243 views

    Avoid these pitfalls of disobedience - the temptation to rationalize it, to belittle it, to blame it, to give excuses for it, to please man rather than God.

    Today we are going to touch on one topic that we can all speak with experience – disobedience. • Whether it’s disobedience to parents, to authority, or to God. We know what it is and how difficult it is, sometimes. • To obey is not easy. It takes trust, it takes faith and ...read more

    Does Jesus feel our heart? Does he understand the emotions of my heart? My thinker, chooser and feeler. How far does his compassion go? What can we do?

    Feel my heart Hebrews 4:14-16 14. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize (be touched by the feelings of our infirmities) with our weaknesses, ...read more

  • The Motivation To Succeed Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021
     | 2,167 views

    Paul is so negative here that we know their must be another paradox involved, for he is a positive thinker. We can only conclude that somehow a negative approach is sometimes the most positive method of influence.

    Successful people almost always attribute their success, in large measure, to the influence and inspiration of some other person. Henry Ford tells of how he was in a period of uncertainty about building his gas engine. He was discouraged about it, and was letting the idea go dead in him. It was ...read more

    Paul was a scholar, a thinker and fluent in multiple languages. He never met Jesus personally. He did know Peter, James and John. Paul heard the stories about Jesus, just as we are hearing them today.

  • Psalm 49: An Intimation Of Immorality Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 19, 2020
     | 3,644 views

    This psalm is classed as a wisdom psalm the subject of which is the prosperity of the wicked, as contemplated by the righteous; that is to say, why do the wicked prosper, while the righteous are poor and afflicted? This was a frequent cause of wonder to these Hebrew thinkers (compare Psalm 37).

    July 3, 2015 Tom Lowe PSALM 49 Title: An Intimation of Immorality (A psalm for the sons of Korah) Theme: The end of those who boast of their riches. Psalm 49 (KJV) 1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 2 Both low and high, rich and ...read more
