Sermons on Relative Oneness:

An Audience Of One Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023

This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

One Thing

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Dec 12, 2021

In this busy and hectic world of ours, it is often too difficult to accomplish all that we have planned for us. We need to slow the world down and concentrate on One Thing.

James 1:2-8 Let me offer an explanation first if you will allow me. From this scripture we can deduce four things at a minimum: EXPLANATION 1. The testing of our faith produces steadfastness. 2. If we allow steadfastness to have its full effect, we will only then be perfect and complete, ...read more

One … But Different!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 16, 2021

When we look at a crowd of people, we see that each person is different. That difference can be seen in many ways.

Illus: Our difference reminds me of the three women who were convicted of criminal charges and were brought before a firing squad. • One was a redhead, and all the guns were pointed at her and the Captain said, “Ready, Aim…,” and the redhead hollered “Earthquake”. They all looked around and she ...read more

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Jun 28, 2022

There Is One Hope Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 12, 2023

Hope is something as important to us as water is to a fish. But with our current social and economic concerns, hope often seems illusive. Our political and legal systems are allowing outrageous things to go on. Just look at the news of this past week.

There Is One Faith Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 24, 2023

Ephesians 4:5 says that there is “One Faith”. But there seems to be more. If someone says, “Have faith.” We need to ask, “Have faith in what?” We operate on faith every day. Just not always in God.

Alba 4-23-2023 THERE IS ONE FAITH Ephesians 4:5 Some years ago in the cartoon “The Family Circus” two children had found their Easter baskets and are enjoying them. One asked, “Who colored all these eggs?” to which his sister replied, “The Easter bunny.” “Who gave us the jelly beans?” “The ...read more

One Way

There is only one way to the home everyone longs for, whether they know it or not

I’m starting this sermon with a really old illustration because things have gotten so much worse that to introduce it with a contemporary example would take more than one sermon to adequately address it. So think yourself back a couple of decades, to 2002. That’s when football coach Ron Brown was ...read more

One Will With Him.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 30, 2022

What's God's Will? Jesus speaks of a shepherd, and how the shepherd will leave 99 safe sheep, to go after one sheep lost and endangered. Jesus states, when the shepherd finds His sheep, He rejoices over it! Jesus states, in Matthew 18:14...

One Will With Him. Matthew 18:14NIV Throughout history the Church has been instilled with hope in the face of life’s trials because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is a reminder that the Christian lives day in and day out with power that can overcome any challenge. In our darkest ...read more
