     | 2,571 views

    Psalm 1 does not teach the duty of obedience so much as it invokes affection for the Torah. In Psalm 1, the righteous are not those who obey the Torah, but are those who delight in the Torah.

    Living the Blessed Life. Psalm 1:1-6NKJV The desert is abundant with life, but there is a stark contrast between plants that are near water and plants that are in the drier parts of the landscape. Those plants near the water display abundant growth. Those plants that are near the water display ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 440 views

    Overcoming bad habits is not an easy task, but with God’s help, it is possible. We must renew our minds, rely on the Holy Spirit, take responsibility for our actions, and remain patient in the process.

    OVERCOMING BAD HABITS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

     | 5,890 views

    Peter called his readers to fortify their testimonies with two crucial aspects of righteous living: 1) a personal, godly discipline that is inward and private, and a 2)personal, godly deportment that is outward and public.

    The Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), which is not affiliated with any national Baptist organization, announced plans to protest at Virgina Tech victims’ funerals only hours after 32 people were killed in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

    Don't Let Anger Rattle Around In Your Soul Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 14, 2005
    based on 36 ratings
     | 5,673 views

    There is a difference between the righteous anger Jesus felt at times and the piddling little things that make us angry. Anger can be an impediment which stands in the way of our enjoyment of God.

    Don’t Let Anger Rattle Around in Your Soul James 1:19-21 February 13, 2005 One of the things that I regret about the way I reared my children is that I think I raised my voice too often. As I reflect back, I understand now that on those occasions when I had reached the limit of my patience with ...read more

    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 26, 2020
     | 6,053 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Be Present Among The Lost Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,045 views

    Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

    It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

    Turning Hearts Series

     | 4,713 views

    The idea of the sermon is the see the contrast between our tendencies to be self-serving or self-promoting versus having the humble spirit that promotes God. The Pharisee and Tax Collector in the parable of Luke 18.9-14 are the examples we will consider.

    1. Self Esteem and Funeral Director A mild mannered young man came into a counselor's office ready for a divorce. He complained that his wife was so bossy that she was driving him off the wall. He wanted things to change, immediately. The counselor gave him a book on assertiveness. He was so ...read more

    Even as Jacob and Esau meet, it seems like Esau is the more righteous of the two brothers. However, it is Jacob whom God has chosen.

    Genesis 33 January 24, 2004 One of the big questions that the book of Genesis has answered has been, "Where do we come from?" For the Israelites sitting around Mount Sinai this has been pretty heady stuff. The creation of the world, the deliverance through the flood and the story of the ...read more

    God has little interest in our attempts at being righteous. We will always lack one more thing in our own strength.

    Wonder and Amazement How many of you this morning came into the sanctuary and were amazes, awed or astounded? - Just as I thought - Everything was pretty much as you expected right? - Now some of us, and I hope all of us, were drawn into worship as we sang and prayed - But did you come to stand ...read more

    The righteous shall live by faith and God teaches us how to live by faith through Abraham, Abraham’s Chief Servant, and Rebekah.

    We read in the New Testament in a letter to the Christians in Galatia, (Gal 3:11) Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." To be justified before God means to be just or right before God. Turn to 2 Peter Chapter 2 for a moment. Read along with ...read more
