Sermon: God’s Drum Major For Justice

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 15, 2025

God is a just God and He desires His world to be a just world. The Lord vindicates his people, punishes evil, and cares for the marginalized. He opposes the wicked, whether individuals or nations and He will one day set all things right. God’s promises are sure!

Blessing Israel (Deuteronomy 33)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 19, 2025

Israel was called Jeshurun, the upright one, as encouragement to a sinful nation. Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness? Let's begin in Deuteronomy 33.

Did Moses bless each tribe in Israel individually just before his death? Was the nation affectionately called the “upright one.” Are we also called to live as upright ones? Let’s look at Deuteronomy 33. How did Moses bless the children of Israel before he died? This is the blessing with which ...read more

Lot Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 25, 2024

The wickedness of the city may have caused Lot pain, but instead of being an INFLUENCER, he had become the INFLUENCEE. He had squandered his knowledge of God. His very presence in the city and his own actions say – if nothing else - “acceptance” of the swamp he had chosen.

October 26, 2024 We don’t know much about Lot. He is mentioned just 26 times in Genesis, primarily in chapters 13 and 19. We know that his father was Haran and that he joined the household of his uncle Abram and aunt Sarai after the death of his father (interestingly, it was one of Abram’s ...read more

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2025

We don’t know when our termination date will be. It could be later today or tomorrow. We don’t get to decide.

Running The Race Series

Contributed by Steve Salmon on Oct 9, 2002

This sermon explores the tension between the accomplishments of the faithful and their character and discovers that Jesus fills the gap between righteousness and our character.

Running The Race Hebrews 12:1-12 SICC 9/22/02 CONFLICT INTRODUCTION The image of chapter 11 is a great one. The saints of old cheering us on so that we finish the race.

Melchizedek – A Better King Series

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006

The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more
