    Surprise Endings: When? Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 6, 2019
     | 6,088 views

    We might think Christ will judge us based on our correct doctrine, faithful church attendance, or moral behavior. But in our text Jesus offers a different standard: our response to the needy people of this world - the least of these.

    Surprise Endings: WHEN? Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction We are at the end of our four-part sermon series called Surprise Endings. This parable is different in some ways. It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Betty Parker, a member of our church who had known for some time that she would die, and who had carefully thought through her relationships, her responsibilities, and her faith.

    FINISHING TOUCHES (Philippians 1:3-11) I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. Some tasks are never finished. No matter how much effort you put in, they are never finished. There is always more that could be ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Die On The Cross

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Mar 8, 2004
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,087 views

    When we read the four Gospel accounts of the Life of Christ we try to think what it might have been like to have lived during the time of Christ. We know that Jesus was arrested and condemned to die on the cross, but we have a hard time picturing the suf

    Why did Jesus Die on the Cross? Isaiah 53:1-9 When we read the four Gospel accounts of the Life of Christ we try to think what it might have been like to have lived during the time of Christ.

    Satan’s Secret Weapon: Offenses

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 12, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,830 views

    Getting offended is a common Christian experience and shouldn't cause Christians to leave churches, but it frequently does! This examines wrong and right responses to offense and outlines why we should forgive, without strings, the offenders.

    SATAN’S SECRET WEAPON: OFFENSES Matt. 17:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. There was a Christian lady who did a lot of flying for her business, but flying made her nervous so she always took her Bible along with her to read and it helped relax her. 2. One time she was sitting next to a man. When ...read more

    More Than Just A Healing

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    The account of the ten lepers: Grace was extended equally to all ten, but in only one did that grace bring a response of faith. With wild abandon, and gratitude, and excitement, he turned from going through the motions and fell at Jesus’ feet.

    Some texts are just too obvious. Ten lepers were cleansed. One came back and said thanks. Nine did not. The one was commended. The nine were scolded in absentia. Ah...it’s important to write thank-you notes. My mama, your mama, and Miss Manners would be pleased. End of ...read more

    Wrath Is Revealed Series

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Sep 24, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,187 views

    This sermon seeks to communicate the truth that all persons are responsible to acknowledge and know God and to refuse to do so leaves one subject to the wrath of God being revealed in their life rather than receiving the righteousness that comes from God

    Paul has made his point that he is proud of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation. It provides deliverance from the penalty of sin (death) and freedom from sin’s power over us now (it no longer masters us). For in the gospel he points out that a righteousness from God is ...read more

    Our Many Purposes As Salt Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 20,674 views

    What is the purpose of salt? Throughout most of the world’s history, salt has been used for three purposes: Flavoring, Preserving and Healing and it has almost always been valuable. This message explores our responsibilities as Salt in this world.

    Our text for this morning is Matthew 5:13-16 While you are turning there, take a minute to think about salt. What is its history? What is its purpose... aside from tasting good. Today we are going to explore those aspects and more as we explore our purpose in light of the call God makes on us to ...read more

    The Call Series

     | 1,313 views

    Psalm 66 is a corporate Psalm of Thanksgiving or Praise in response to the work of God in the lives of the people of Judah. This introductory message looks at the first four verses and the summons to praise - reflecting on the context of praise, the command to praise, and the content of our praise.

    Psalm 66:1–4 ESV Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to ...read more

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,783 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Crossing The Line Series

    Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 17, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,436 views

    Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

    Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

    The Harvest

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Sep 1, 2010
     | 7,022 views

    While Scripture is clear about our responsibility to those in need, we cannot forget the harvest, and we cannot forget that "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."

    The Harvest TCF Sermon July 25, 2010 Many of you know that before I was on staff as church administrator and an elder here at TCF, I had a public relations business for about 15 years. One of the things I did for my p.r. clients was go to trade shows or conventions. This is where companies that ...read more

    The Call To Faithfulness Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 25, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,056 views

    Knowing the end of his life is near, Jesus needs to remake His disciples’ understanding of what their responsibilities are as they await His return. And so Jesus tells them a story that had a familiar ring: The Good Samaritan

    The Call to Faithfulness Luke 19:11-27 In Luke 19, it is late winter and Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem for His last Passover and the last week of His earthly life. He has just arrived in Jericho, the lowest city on the face of the earth which is 1000 feet below sea level. That makes Jericho ...read more

     | 11,587 views

    Thousands of books have been written in response to that age old question; what's the meaning of life?' Nearly all of them are wrong but there is an ancient book, written by the inspiration of God that tells us the answer to that most perplexing question!

    Today we are going to talk about a question that has perplexed even the most intelligent people on earth for thousands of years. It's a question that has been widely debated by scholars and philosophers and yet simply ignored or even scoffed at by scientists and atheists. That question is "what is ...read more

    Overcoming Addiction 2 Series

    Contributed by Nnaemeka Durueke on Sep 23, 2019
     | 4,303 views

    It is better to prevent the problems than struggling to solve them. Thanks be to God because there is hope to the broken and addict who desires freedom from the bondage - John 16:33 ... "but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" and read; 1 Peter 5:10.

    TOPIC: OVERCOMING ADDICTIONS 2 TEXT: TITUS 2:12 INTRODUCTION Most people who engage in addictive behaviors and go on to develop an actual addiction, find out that overcoming it is more challenging than they expected. So it is better to prevent the problems than struggling to solve them. ...read more

    Names Of God: Adonai, God Our Master And Owner Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 1, 2022
     | 2,424 views

    The name Adonai occurs about 300 times in the Old Testament. Every time it’s used it’s written as a possessive plural form. So it could actually be read as “my Lords” which reminds us that God is a trinity, of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "Servant" in our English New Testament usually represents the Greek doulos (bondslave). Sometimes it means diakonos (deacon or minister); this is strictly accurate, for doulos and diakonos are synonyms. Both words denote a man who is not at his own disposal, but is his master's ...read more
