Sermons on Rejection Of Their Creator:

The Power Of Love

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Oct 28, 2007

Often we reject our role as disciples because the thought of leading others to Jesus scares us. We don’t think we know enough about the Bible, or understand enough about theology, or believe we’re good enough. And we’re right.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) As disciples we are all Christian leaders. That’s a concept we may not all be comfortable with. We ...read more

The Time Has Come Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 5, 2017

Turning to Christ involves repenting of sins, rejecting selfish living and all that is unjust, renouncing Satan and all evil. It’s living every day as a disciple of Christ, loving God with our whole heart, and our neighbour as our self, until life's end.

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings ‘1, 2, 4, 7, 9, Here we come.’ That’s how my sons, Micah and Joshua, like to count down when we play hide and seek. There’s usually not much time to get ready! Actually every time they count down differently. One moment they’re ...read more

All Excuses Silenced

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 19, 2012

If one thing is clear, from the book of Romans, it should be that everyone stands guilty before God. Not only are those who reject God found guilty, but also those who acknowledge God and live by high religious standards. Why? Because we have all sinned.

Romans 3:1-20 In Hans Christian Andersen's story of The Emperor's New Clothes the Emperor parades before his whole populous without any clothes on. He had been convinced that he was wearing clothes which were invisible to everyone but the wise and pure in heart. The people, not wanting to appear ...read more

The Contention Is Over

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 24, 2025

Your season of contention is giving way to a season of fruitfulness. Like Isaac, you may have faced opposition, envy, and rejection, but keep digging. Don’t settle at Esek (strife) or Sitnah (hostility). God is leading you to Rehoboth—a place of peace, purpose, and prosperity.

THE CONTENTION IS OVER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 26:18-22 "And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the ...read more

In The Beginning God Created ... Genesis 1:1-5

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2021

The Word of God starts out with a belief-challenge. In the beginning God created ... Do you believe it? Is it necessary to believe it? Is it OK if you don't believe it? How big is God anyway?

Ano Ang Tao Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 23, 2023

Ang bawat tao ay nilikha ng Diyos. Isang taong ginawa ayon sa Kanyang larawan. Tanging kapag tayo ay maayos na nauugnay sa Diyos maaari nating maranasan ang kapunuan na inilaan ng Diyos para sa atin.

The Mystery Of Israel's Blindness

Contributed by Larry Cockerham on Jun 29, 2002

The history of Israel’s past, present, and future is given in the Book of Romans chapters 9-11. In Chapter 9 Paul explains Israel’s past election in relation to God’s sovereignty. In chapter 10 he explains Israel’s present rejection in relation to God’s

Concerning the mystery of Israel’s blindness, Paul states: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in" (Rom. 11:25). Why is Israel an ...read more

Obeying God's Commands Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 21, 2011

For all those who reject God, they must know that the day will come when they will have to stand before God and face His holiness and justice. They will have to face His judgment. So we must know God. But how can we tell if we really know God?

How do we know if we really know God? We live in a day when many people are not even interested in knowing God. They want to live like they want. To know God is the furthest thing from their minds. This is a very important spiritual issue because if God really exists, then those who reject Him ...read more

Old Whiners Or New Wineskins? Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

We all have a tendency to reject a new idea, or a new revelation of truth because we like the old too much. Like an old, stiff wineskin, our hearts and minds can calcify until we become so inflexible we can’t accept change.

INTRODUCTION Have you ever known someone who was a chronic whiner? They are constantly whining about their health or the weather, or what’s going on in Washington. Do you know someone like that? Now, do you think anybody was thinking about YOU? Chronic whiners and complainers are everywhere. I ...read more

Sermon # 43 - Know God's Will And Do God's Work Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 8, 2025

There are two groups of people that Jesus spoke about. One who may initially reject God, but later repent and truly turn to God. The other group are those who claim to follow Jesus, but are dichotomous and far from doing the will of God. The question is, ‘Where do we stand?’

We read in Proverbs 22:29, “Do you see a person who is efficient in his work? He will serve kings. He will not serve unknown people.”(GW) When a person gets a good job, their entry to that job is only the first step.
