The Lord’s Return And Resurrection: Part 2 Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 24, 2012

There are six things I want to point out about these 3 verses. The events of the Lord’s return and of the resurrection are clearly spelled out in these verses.

Last Wednesday in 1 Thess. 4: 13-15, Paul told us he didn’t want us to be ignorant about those who have fallen asleep. He basically told us that it was OK to grieve over the loss of our loved ones, but he said not to grieve as one who has no hope. He assured us that our loved ones who have died ...read more

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Jul 9, 2018

Present And Prevent: In View Of The Lord’s Mercies

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023

Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

This Could Be The Year (2026) Of The Lord’s Coming

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025

I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

Text: The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” But it is obvious today that the lost world is not looking for Christ to return anytime soon. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more

Lord’s Prayer 11: Forgiveness Of Sins Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 30, 2024

Jesus died and suffered on the cross for us, to forgive us our sins and this is something we must never, ever take for granted. When we pray for forgiveness for the things we have done wrong to our neighbour or sinned in the sight of God our Father we must never forget the cost.

Lord’s Prayer 11: Forgiveness of Sins All his life, an old man had been a sceptic, especially about religion. Now he was dying and his friends asked him if he would like them to send for the parish priest to minister the last rites. 'No,' he said, 'God will forgive me - that's ...read more

Dating For Dummies - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Gregg Barbour on Feb 8, 2010

What is it with Dating? Why should teens date or not date? Look at the popular opinion, and the not so popular way in these sermons on Dating.

Ahhh, Dating. Dating makes everybody feel like a dummy at some point or another.

Relating To Jesus Outside Religion Series

Contributed by Brad Bailey on May 22, 2008

Helping ourselves and others relate to Jesus not as one who started a new religion… nor who can be known merely through religious tradition… but who defies religious confines… and who seeks relationship.

Intro – One of the more interesting dynamics in my own process of having ‘holy conversation’ is when someone asks what I do. When they discover I’m a pastor… I’ve seen all sorts of things go off. Discomfort with their behavior, discomfort with what they then expect from me, or even just ...read more
