    "Getting The Proper Law Degree"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Feb 2, 2004
    based on 21 ratings
     | 2,392 views

    I am righteous, not religious! There are three Law Schools that God has given to mankind. The Law of Naure, the Law of Moses, and the Law of Christ. Are you living under the higher law?

    The message that I am giving you today should be extremely helpful to you in understanding the "big picture" of how we are to live our Christian lives. It gives you insights in to what God expects of you. Title: “Getting the Proper Law Degree” Jesus was asked by a rich young ruler in Matthew 19, ...read more

    Passionate About Holiness Series

     | 5,639 views

    To be Holy is to be set apart. Not “Holier than Thou”, not religious, but Holy in God’s sight. Are we set apart? To be set apart is to be a Christ-like example to those around us.

    What do we mean when we say something is Holy? Look at your Bible. It says “Holy Bible.” What makes it Holy? The land of Israel is called “The Holy Land.” The city of Jerusalem is called “The Holy City.” Why? There is a quality about all three that they share in common, They all belong to ...read more

    Jesus Weeps Over Jerusalem And Jesus Clears The Temple Series

     | 16,152 views

    Jesus enters Jerusalem on the colt to the praises of a throng of followers and under the scrutiny of the religious leaders, but His mind is focused on the souls of the city of Jerusalem, which represented God's chosen nation.

    Read Luke 19:41-48… Setting the stage: v.41-48 detail the conclusion of Jesus’ journey toward Jerusalem toward the destined sacrifice He was sent here to make for the sins of the world. For many days Jesus had been on a resolute journey toward the city of Jerusalem. He had predicted ...read more

    God's Word Or Ours?

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 11, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,594 views

    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

    Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more

    Hot To Trot Series

    When God’s leaders, whether secular political, secular business, or church religious leaders, fail, the result is disastrous for both God’s people and those around them.

    Some of you are bound to be offended at the title of this sermon. If you are familiar with the slang of a couple of generations ago, this was the ‘40s and ‘50s description of a person who had cast moral considerations aside and wanted to have a hot and heavy affair. It usually denigrated women as ...read more

    The Five Kernels Of Thankfulness

    based on 16 ratings
     | 15,943 views

    Our country cannot continue to exist prosperously financed, abundantly favored and religiously free if we fail to be grateful to our God, thankful for His blessings and respectful to His leadership!

    A little girl asked her mother, “Mommy, why do you cut the ends off the meat before you cook it?” The girl’s mother told her that she thought it added to the flavor by allowing the meat to better absorb the spices, but perhaps she should ask her grandmother since she always did it that way. So ...read more

    If we are going to win the lost today we have to have the right mindset. This message attacks religious propaganda and challenges us to embrace the Cross and access what it paid for!

    Showboat Religion Series

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on Mar 30, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,643 views

    Jesus teaches about the proper way to give, to pray, and to fast. He condemns public displays of religious acts where the intent is to garner praise from people who are watching.

    SHOWBOAT RELIGION MATTHEW 6:1-8, 16-18 A "showboat" is someone who tries to draw all the attention to himself. They want all the glory, all the praise. You see it on the football field and other places where people compete. The touchdown or big play antics are performed to draw attention. Many ...read more

    The Call Of A Disciple (Luke, Part 4) Series

     | 1,705 views

    It’s critical that we see ourselves and the calling of the disciples was NO different than ours. If we will not share what we know, are we any different than the religious pharisees?

    Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for several reasons -- We can clearly see Luke’s genuine interest in people (career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with society; critical lesson for us - Last week, we unpacked the temptations of ...read more

    What Is A Reformed Sinner? Series

     | 1,411 views

    The individuals who judge others are blameworthy, additionally, of being hypocritical. No one will get away from God's judgment for individual sin, including the religious Jews and Gentiles.

    Romans 2:1-16 springs a snare, of sorts, for each peruser who felt that Paul's overwhelming rundown of sins toward the end of Romans chapter 1 was about others. In truth, everybody is at fault for wrongdoing. The individuals who judge others are blameworthy, additionally, of being hypocritical. ...read more

    A Healing In The Synagogue Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 22, 2025
     | 238 views

    Jesus saw a man whose right hand was withered and then, in the synagogue, healed him. Some of the religious leaders were there, too, and were furious with Jesus because of this.

    A Healing in the Synagogue Introduction: Jesus healed people in different places at different times. One of the more unusual healings took place when four men carried a paralyzed man to a house but couldn’t enter. They didn’t stop, though: they carried the man up to the roof, opened a hole in the ...read more

    Dealing With Ocd Series

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

    Privilege Of Being Persecuted Series

     | 4,241 views

    The meaning of “for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” in Matthew 5:3 is that they will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. But the meaning of the same words in Matthew 5:10 is that they will rule in the Kingdom of Heaven along with Lord Jesus.

    Scripture portion: Matthew 5:10-12 “BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE: FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE YE WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SHALL SAY ALL MANNER OF EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, FOR MY SAKE. REJOICE AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD: FOR ...read more

    Dad is the head of the house, but Mom rules in the home. The bumper sticker "If Mommas not happy no bodies happy is correct; so mother’s influence is great on her husband, children, and herself.
