    Shields Of Brass Or Gold?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022

    Here, the Scripture portrays an Israelite king substituting true godliness with a cheap imitation in an attempt to fool the people of Israel into believing that the nation still had favor with God. But in reality, Israel was falling apart.

    Some of the insights contained in this evening’s message were inspired by O. S. Hawkins’ book Shields of Brass or Shields of Gold? One day while Mr. Jones was chatting with Mr. Smith about yard work, Mr. Jones happened to mention that he had only cut the grass in his front yard that week because ...read more

    How To Be Good Without Being A Hypocrite Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Aug 8, 2022
     | 2,328 views

    It seems that the more strongly we hold moral views the more we insist others hold them as well, and the harder it is to live by them, and we get into this cycle of bullying, hypocrisy and moral failure. So how can we be good without being a hypocrite?

    HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH When I was younger, the church pretty much had the corner on hypocrisy, at least as society told the story. People didn’t want to go to church because it was full of hypocrites. To which we sometimes replied, come on in then, we’ve room for more. And that’s not an unfair ...read more

    Love That’s Out Of This World

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 5, 2019
     | 8,203 views

    Paul outlines the 10 characteristics of the "God kind of Love." Christian achievements are worthless without this love and it can only be gained by the indwelling nature of Christ. I utilized an outline by Adrian Rogers.

    LOVE THAT’S OUT OF THIS WORLD 1 Cor. 13:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was speeding down a Texas highway, feeling secure in a column of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over. 2. When the ...read more

    If you don’t have enough personal goof-ups to occupy your repentant mind, how about repenting our national sins?

    Third Sunday of Easter 2024 Late in his life, St. John the Apostle wrote three letters from his exile to churches he directed in Asia, now a part of Turkey.

    Fake Honor

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,373 views

    There is such a thing as fake honor, a kind of honor that appears noble, but is actually disingenuous. This kind of hypocrisy is appalling to God. The Lord wants us to be genuine.

    The death of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin is reputed to have been caused by a seizure suffered at a meeting of the Presidium, the Communist party executive committee.

    Honoring Your Neighbor

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 15, 2023
     | 2,252 views

    God's mercy moves us to present ourselves as living sacrifices, a spiritual act of worship he called it. In verses 9-21, we see that life of worship on display when we love and honor others. Today, we're going to learn the recipe of honoring our neighbors.

     | 70 views

    This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

    Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

    A message dealing with the issue of hypocrisy.

    Snapchat. I don’t know much about Snapchat except what I read about it on the web. I don’t have it on my phone because, frankly, I don’t see the need for an app on my phone that supposedly lets me take a photo or video, send it to someone, and as soon as it’s been viewed, is ...read more

    Gentle Jesus Meek And And Mild? Really

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Aug 16, 2025
     | 188 views

    Jesus obviously had not read Dale Carnegie's book "How to make friends and influence people" He hated hypocrisy and called it as it was even if it meant offending the Jewish religious hierarchy

    The result of hypocrisy and living lies is disastrous but the life of living what Jesus tells us will not only enrich us personally but it will expand the Kingdom of God forever!

    As we noted last week, Jesus the Christ warns people of allowing darkness into their lives. It is actually God’s desire for every human being to be full of light because God the Creator is Light! Light signifies radiance, purity, holiness, and true life! God created people so that they can be ...read more

    The question answered in this chapter is: What “church” will actually assemble at this time on earth?

    What is the church? Is it a building, a professing people, a group of genuine Christians? Is it a place with a steeple, a social club, or a people related to Christ?
