Obey - Sermon On Philippians 2:7-12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

Jesus was fully God and fully man, and the fourth aspect of his example of humility was obedience – to God and to human authorities. So God exalted him by making him Lord and Judge over all. Therefore we should obey – because of his example and because of his supremacy and lordship as judge.

Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the very form of God, did not consider that equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in ...read more

Why Is The Death Of God's Saints Precious In His Sight?

Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Mar 13, 2007

Death is a common denominator to all living thigs. But, the death of a saint of God is viewed, by God, as something special and it is a time of rejoicing as the saint leaves this world of sin and goes to a perfect place to be with our Lord. This makes God

Naaman's Little Maid

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Sep 23, 2020

She was born free in the land of Israel but reduced to a slave in Syria. Yet no thought of revenge was in her heart. She could have rejoiced in his affliction. But instead, the little maid thought of how Naaman might be healed.

What's My Motivation

Contributed by Chip Monck on Sep 26, 2007

This message followed up one on the Biblical Bridal Paradigm, and reflected on the motivation of living and participating in ministry out of love.

(Opened with a homemade "YouTube" video to the Toby Mac hit, "Made to Love") Last week we explored our love relationship with God. This idea of a “holy romance” through such long standing hymns of the faith as “And Can It Be” and “My Saviour’s Love” and “My Jesus I Love Thee.” This week, it is a ...read more

Answer Six: Who Ministers Really Are Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 21, 2015

Believers don’t need to pit one minister against another, or exalt one minister over another, or to even favor one minster over another, or especially not form a clique around a minister. This passage tonight offers Paul’s 6th answer to this division problem.

The Corinthian church was severely divided. The division came because the congregation was hung up on the former preachers of the church. I would hate to be called to a church like that. SEBC was a lot like that when I was called here. But in the course of about 9 months, that finally began to ...read more

Even Though I Feel This Way Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Oct 2, 2021

We are faced with two options. The first is to see how bad things really are and to focus on them. And we have every right to focus on them because things are indeed bad. Or the second option is to decide even though things are bad, I chose to rejoice and trust in my Lord.

Introduction: I cannot recall in my 27 years as Pastor a sermon that I preached from the Book of Lamentations until today. Today will be my first.
