Sermons on Rejecting The Son:

The Hard Work Of Trust

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Or you don’t like what God has brought into your life: lots of disappointment, lots of frustration. Or maybe you look at all the wickedness in the world, and you fear ...read more

An Act Of Obedience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus who said to go into all the world and baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It was an act of obedience on Philip's part to baptize the Ethiopian and act of obedience on his part to be baptized.

Some of the best things in life can be so bad. It is somewhat shocking, but Lewis B. Smedes in his book Caring and Commitment points out that even commitment can be a bad thing. The purpose of the book is to get Christians more committed, but he points out the negative side of this very ...read more

Mary's Song

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 13, 2015

The Magnificat. We should take Mary seriously. Jesus' mother is also our mother. She is a “mother” to all who accept Jesus as Lord. Her most significant role is to point us to her Son.

Christmas songs bring back memories. When I hear certain carols, I'm transported back to my childhood in Germany. I especially remember Stille Nacht, the German hymn by Fr Joseph Mohr that celebrates Jesus, born of a virgin, sleeping in heavenly peace. Here in Luke chapter one we see Mary's song, ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Nicene Creed says, in reference to the Spirit, “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son." The early church recognized the truth that the Holy Spirit is One who gives life.

Don’t Poke The Lion

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2025

We humans are wrongly unafraid of God's fiercest creatures. Wisdom dictates we shouldn't "poke the lion." There are at least 3 lions in Scripture: the devil, the church, and the Son of God, Jesus.
