The Ten Commandment Introduction Series

Contributed by Hugh W. Davidson on Mar 13, 2009

Intro to the ten commandments in Exodus 19.

Exodus 19 When I was in Bible College at London Baptist I used to be asked to preach at different kinds of youth events and one time I remember arriving at a church for some kind of an evening service and I asked the guy in charge, “How long should I speak?” And he said, “You can preach all night ...read more

Zombie Christianity

Contributed by Charles Newman on Mar 16, 2009

A church that is spiritually dead can still hold services, sing hymns, offer prayers, deliver sermons, and do works of ministry – they can go through the motions of “doing church” but they will never be the church without being alive in God’s Holy Spirit!

INTRODUCTION Modern Day Scene: A paramedic arrives on an accident scene with what seems like a lifeless body; no pulse, no breath – CPR begins and instead of taking the body to the morgue, they go to the ER. Jesus has pronounced the church at Sardis as dead. Yet there is hope. A church that is ...read more

The Upclose God We Claim To Know

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Mar 18, 2014

People have different ideas of God and they have different ideas of their relationship with God. Do you really know the God you think you know?

The up close God we claim to know Acts 17:22-17:32 Introduction This morning I want to talk to you about worship. I know that worship means different things to different people, and we will address that in a few minutes. I think it is sad that churches have worship wars. Churches have ...read more

The Business Of The Church Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 15, 2013

Whatever we do, we must not let our traditions steal our joy or our love. We must not let “church business” keep us from “the business of the church.”

A few years ago, I came across some odd laws from a long time ago that were still on the books in the 21st Century. I think you’ll find them quite amusing. For example, young girls are never allowed to walk a tightrope in Wheeler, Mississippi, unless it's in a church. In Blackwater, ...read more

The Danger Of Displacement Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 4, 2014

Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.

The Danger of Displacement (Mark 7:1-13) 1. One of my favorite Jewish jokes (I have told before) is the following: 2. A Jewish congregation was arguing over whether one should stand or sit during the Shema Yisrael. Half of the congregation said one should sit, the other half insisted one should ...read more

The New Versus The Old Series

Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 22, 2013

Today's Christian rarely enjoys the Christianity envisioned by Jesus because it has been hampered by religion, which destroys the freedom available to us in Christ.

Every time some tragedy happens, people get very religious. The problem with getting religious is it does not last very long. Once the crisis has calmed down and things get back to normal, religion seems to go out the window. The reason this happens so often is that religion is never the answer it ...read more

Arrested Series

Contributed by Tim White on May 11, 2014

The enemies of the cross at Jesus' arrest show us strong lessons about the Kingdom of Christ.

When we hear the word, “arrested”, we think of criminals. Criminals are an unusual sort, as far as I can tell. I hear tell of a set of criminal brothers who did all sorts of crime. As a matter of fact, if a crime occurred in this small community, one, if not both, of these boys had ...read more

"Real Life” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 13, 2010

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus describes two very different men, who took two very different approaches to connecting with God, which resulted in two very different outcomes.

Today we begin a new series on rejecting religion for something real. The “something real” is the way of Christ (Christianity), which is not a religion, but a relationship with the living God. Too many non-believers wrongly think of Christianity as “just another religion,” and, sadly, many of ...read more

Christ Is Risen And That Is What We Believe. Series

Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on May 14, 2011

Although the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), our searching the Scriptures does us no good if we do not seek an understanding of this Godly wisdom by delving into the deeper things revealed to us by the Holy Spirit.

Christ has risen. Matthew 28:1-17 Regardless of how you view the 28th chapter of Matthew, the point of the narrative found in it is a dead man came back to life and got out of his grave.
