     | 5,111 views

    In this passage Jesus shares with us some rather stark realities that mankind is at best Castle builders. That human saviors are only deceivers. That is the bad news. The GOOD NEWS is that God is King, Jesus is Savior and the Holy Spirit will lead us to everlasting salvation.

    Pastor Allan Kircher Shell Point Baptist Church Dec 9th, 2012 Luke 1:26-38 BEHOLD THE LAMB PREPARED Way back in the dawn of time, man violated a sacred trust and fell into sin. • At that time, God promised man that there would come One Who would balance the scales • Defeat evil and ...read more

    This sermon helps you understand what faith looks like operating in one's life.

    Faith Hebrews 11:1 Preached by: JB Hall Introduction: Efforts to explain faith often fall short because it is an intangible that cannot be experienced with the natural senses, or felt in your spirit. It is in essence, the heart’s work toward the promises of God, and toward the God ...read more

    You can never be the same once you’ve experienced the living Christ. By faith Simeon kept on waiting for the Messiah and one day He got a surprise. There are 5 ways you can know whether you’ve met the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Luke 2:25-35 Place: Jerusalem (vv.21-22) They brought him to Jerusalem. The purpose was to present him to the Lord according to the law of Moses.

    God’s grace overwhelms the “second chance.”

    Scripture Introduction To give someone a leg up means to help them climb higher by standing on your knee or in your cupped hands, like a human step stool. A billboard in St. Louis advertised a local church by proclaiming: “Jesus gives a leg up!” That is both helpful and hopeful… ...read more

    Jeremiah's Living Sermon On Fatherhood

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 23, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,914 views

    Jeremiah’s experience with the Rechabites shaped his message on fatherhood and guidance. We need to renew our commitment to parenting and to responding to parental guidance.

    I guess every teenager grapples with who he is. For me, a 17-year-old, away from home and “on my own” at college, I was ever so much “smarter” than I am today and certainly “much smarter” than my own father who had attended college and seminary on a “catch as catch can” basis and had no degree to ...read more

    Begging At The Gate

    Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 19, 2008
    based on 100 ratings
     | 21,516 views

    The gate could be prettier than the Temple – it is another paradox of modern religion. Big gates, large ways coming trough, but no salvation at the gate.

    Just look at him: an ordinary beggar, one among thousands who filled Jerusalem streets... And today was just another day, no better and no worse then all the other days that had made up the life of this poor crippled beggar. Who was he, we don’t know. The Bible reveals nothing about his life up to ...read more

    Remember in the midst of your trials who your savior is. Jesus Christ is the victorious Lord. Through his death he broke the bondage of sin; he conquered death itself. Through his resurrection he has subdued the evil powers so that they cannot harm his

    Introduction We are at a passage that remains one the most complicated passages in the Bible to understand. Not just each verse, almost every phrase is ambiguous. Let me give a few examples. Is Peter saying Christ was raised by the Holy Spirit or simply that he was alive in spirit? Does alive ...read more

    The basis of this sermon is a sermon preached by Tim Keller on Psalm 88.

    When Darkness Is My Only Friend Introduction Warning: I want to build your faith, but my first point of this sermon is a real downer. The book of Psalms is filled with desperate prayers. There are personal laments and corporate laments. It is in these that the psalmists express their ...read more

    And Injustice For All

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 23, 2023
     | 1,626 views

    The unjust judge is only a problem if we confuse God and man, and put our trust in the one instead of the other.

    Have you ever felt that God just wasn’t listening? Silent, uncaring, even absent? Perhaps you have a problem, a need, a pain, a burning question; you bring it before God, and - nothing happens. You remember what Jesus said about persisting in prayer, so you go on battering at the heavenly gates - ...read more

     | 6,962 views

    Throughout history, there have been several explanations given regarding why Jesus asked God, the Father, to remove the cup from Him.

    "And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here ...read more

    Not By Might But By My Spirit

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 406 views

    This sermon proclaims that God’s work in rebuilding His temple—and in strengthening His people today—is never accomplished by human effort but solely by the empowering, obstacle-flattening, hope-renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

    Not by Might but by My Spirit Zechariah 4:1-9 Let’s begin with the remarkable story of how God’s people — weary from exile yet renewed by hope — rebuilt the house of the Lord. Because of their idolatry, moral corruption, and rejection of God’s prophets, the nation of Judah fell to ...read more
