True Confessions

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Oct 8, 2007

One of the sad truths is that we Christians will sin. No matter how diligently we devote ourselves to practicing righteousness, we are going to miss the mark and sin. When we realize that we have disobeyed God, in some fashion, what should be our response

True Confessions Proverbs 28:13 The Apostle John proclaims an unfortunate truth, in 1 John 1:8, 10, when he says, “If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us…If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.” One of the ...read more

Do You Fear The Word Of The Lord? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 18, 2005

The plagues of Egypt get closer and closer to home. God warns the Egyptians how to escape His judgment. Some listen, others do not. What is the condition of your heart when it comes to receiving from God’s Word?

The 10 plagues go from remote and objective, to very personal and subjective. A staff turns into a snake - big deal - stay away from snakes. (I wonder why Moses didn’t do the leprosy trick?). Turn the water into blood - the water was something the Egyptians would have to go to get - and they tried ...read more

Build God's House!

Contributed by David Mende on Jul 8, 2009

The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

Introduction (Secure Attention): Have you ever thought along these lines, “I am going to serve the Lord after I grow old.” “I want to work for God but I’m too busy.” “I want to serve God but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to do anything at all for the Lord.” If you had any thoughts like that, ...read more

The Waiting Room Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 30, 2012

This final chapter of 2 Peter is probably where the idea of meeting Peter at the pearly gates comes from. And while that is cute, the one who will really be interviewing us is Jesus himself. I thought the interview with a typical Christian in the waiting
