    The Land Of The Midnight Sun Series

     | 4,653 views

    Our culture has lived in sheer optimism, but that time is fading. We must seize the opportunity to minister while it is here; and if we do so, we will see bountiful rewards.

    My besetting sin, if you must know, is procrastination. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, for somehow tomorrow always seems to be even more than only a day away. It seems to be an eternity away, and so what if I do not do today what my To-Do list says I am to do? Who will know ...read more

    An Accurate "I" Exam Series

    Contributed by Rob Jansons on Sep 14, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,487 views

    This is a New Year's sermon when our culture preaches "believe in yourself" and Scripture teaches us what happens when we do. It is a prelude sermon to a covert series on Calvinism.

    It is the first Sunday of the new year. In our culture this is a time of getting psyched up for a new year of doing our best, setting some ambitious goals, trying harder, putting our best foot forward. Maybe you expect a little encouragement from your church; give us some spiritual justification ...read more

    A sermon on grace and how we distort God's grace in our culture, USA. (Material adapted from David Seamands' book, "Healing Grace" chapter 2 "Barriers to Grace")

    HoHum: A treadmill is one of the most effective tools for burning calories, despite the fact that the person exercising stays in the same place. Similarly, so it is with people who try to work their way to righteousness. We understand that grace is what saved us but believe they must pay God back ...read more

    Eternal life is for those who live faithfully before God, believing in his promises and living by his standards, even when the pressures to conform to our culture are nearly overwhelming.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more

    If You Really Knew Me Student Guide

     | 3,064 views

    I took the cultural phenomenon from the MTV show "If you really knew me" and used it as a tool to encourage teens to open up, support and pray for one another.

    “If You Really Knew Me!” John 14:7-10 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. 1. All of us carry within our ___________ emotional hurts, wounds and even scars. 2. God's gave us a remedy/prescription to heal all of of ...read more

    It is easy to focus on the struggles we face and lose faith. Our culture is rapidly changing, and we must be prepared to stand. Our only hope is abiding in Christ and in His Word.

    Series: Saved, Settled, and Sanctified You are not Alone 1 Peter 1: 1-2 The first epistle of Peter provides great insight for the believer. In this letter, Peter provides great spiritual instruction regarding our relationship and security in the Lord, our daily walk with Christ, and the glorious ...read more

    Costs Of The Journey Series

    Contributed by E Philip Davis on Mar 6, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,251 views

    Jesus makes it clear in Luke 9:23 that the path of discipleship is a costly one; what challenges do we face in "bearing our cross daily" in today’s culture?

    COSTS OF THE JOURNEY In this series from Luke we are seeing how following Jesus – what we call discipleship – is like a journey with him. This is what the disciples did in Luke’s Gospel, where Chapters 9-19 are in the form of a journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In the first week Wayne introduced ...read more

    These are critical days for Christianity and how we respond and react to this sweeping sea of change within our culture, will tell a lot about how Christianity survives in the next 25 years!

    Last week I said, “As a body of believers, this statement is what will drive us, motivate us and focus us for the work of the ministry that God has placed before us. All of us are to be equipped as maturing and growing believers so that together we can execute the cure for the common ...read more

    Desire - Only Met In Jesus Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Feb 26, 2013
     | 5,326 views

    The deepest desires of our hearts are meant to be met as we experience God's glory, but fulfillment of our desires has often been hijacked by cheap imitations provided by our culture.

    In preparation for today’s message, continuing our exploration of the glory of God, I read a sermon by CS Lewis entitled “The Weight of Glory”. And it launched me down a path that I am going to attempt to describe, and hope that you might accompany me on, this morning. Now, the ...read more

     | 7,625 views

    In our culture we call most people we have frequent contact with "Friends." In this message of Love we'll learn what "True Friendship" is according to biblical standards.

    For those of you who weren’t here with us last week, we finished off the book of Daniel. • It was a wonderful book to teach, and I hope that all of us had our faith strengthened as a result of this book. (Elaborate) • Now this morning we’re going to start the book of Thessalonians. • And ...read more

    All In For Our Lord Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 21, 2020
     | 1,278 views

    Almost certainly in our lifetime we will also have to follow Christ to our own cross. Probably not a bloody martyrdom, but the culture hates the Church and all who follow Christ.

    Monday of the 24th and Last Week in Course 2020 Bl. Miguel Agustin Pro Today, in the glaring light of our proclamation on Sunday that Jesus Christ is the King of the Universe, we are invited to consider the virtues of those who will be found worthy to live forever in that marvelous, unimaginably ...read more

     | 1,728 views

    Many today, seeing Western culture disintegrate as it abandons Christian living and teaching, tell us that serious Christians need to flee the cities and establish new Christian communities of virtue.

    Tuesday of the 33rd Week in Course 2019 Saints Severinus, Exuperius, & Felician The sources tell us that Marcus Aurelius “was Roman emperor from [AD] 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. He was the last of the rulers known as the Five Good Emperors, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an ...read more

     | 2,172 views

    The newly accepted believers made a complaint in the early Church, and they expected Apostles would visit them and care for them. There was a cultural clash based on ethnicity, and language, and background of their previous identity.

    In a day where we are riddled with division and a "cancel culture" where does forgiveness fit in and how does forgiveness in the church differ from what the world offers?
