    Expository sermon challenging the congregation to live what they believe.

    This morning we continue from where we left off in the book of Romans, which is chapter 2 and verse 17. So far we have heard the apostle Paul laying out the principles by which God is going to judge the world, and how because of this, the Gentiles stood condemned. Paul now moves to the second part ...read more

    God repeatedly tells me I should be thankful for all things. But there are times I don’t want to thankful. There are times I don’t FEEL thankful. So how can I obey God when that happens?

    OPEN: I read the true story of GIs stationed on Leyte in the Philippines during WW II. Although the region was secure, sometimes the enemy tried to infiltrate their food storage area. One such adversary, dressed in GI clothing, had worked himself into the noontime chow line. But the camp cook ...read more

    So much for the past year! But, considering the tide of events, it seems we will be facing greater challenges this year. Let’s gear up!

    Introduction: Two teenage brothers grew up as hooligans in a slum, making a living as couriers of illegal substances traded in the streets. These egocentric thugs religiously kept their dodgy earnings and shrewdly started their own illicit modus operandi until they became self-made millionaires ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,389 views

    This sermon unpacks the threefold function of the law: Natural universal function, its Evangelsitic diagnostic function and its didatic function.

    THE THREEFOLD FUNCTION OF THE LAW OF GOD LAW IS A PHENOMENON THAT APPLIES TO ALL DIMENSIONS OF OUR LIVES: PHYSICAL LAWS OF NATURE- POSITIVE LAWS OF SOCIETY - IMPERATIVES OF HUMAN MORALITY - AND EVEN DIVINE LAWS OF REVELATION. THESE LAWS ALL HAVE FIXED FUNCTIONS WHICH INTERACT ...read more

    Ritualism Versus Spiritual Reality Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 20, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 12,364 views

    God desires to curb the trend toward formalism in religion which is satisfied with meeting external observation. To obey the moral precepts & principles of the word is infinitely more important than ceremonies & man-made traditions.

    ZECHARIAH 7: 1-7 RITUALISM VERSUS SPIRITUAL REALITY [Ezra 6:1-11] The seventh and eighth chapters are the third distinct division of the prophecy. In the first portion was the call to national repentance and turning to the Lord for His Covenant blessings. After a national turning to God ...read more

    What God Wants On Sunday Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,188 views

    We are incurably religious, thinking that if we use the right formulas, we will be acceptable to God. But God wants our personal involvement and our investment in understanding Him.

    Our most persistent sin is that we are religious. Of all the sins that men and women commit, of all the wrongheaded directions we take, of all the wayward wanderings on which we go, none is more persistent than this: that we are religious. As someone has put it, we are incurably religious. ...read more

    Friend Of The Full Heart Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,746 views

    Christmas is a time for full hearts: weary, guilty, anxious, sad -- past, present, and future. Mary felt the same things, but Christ comes to forgive our past, empower our present, and assure our future.

    Christmas is an emotional time. All kinds of feelings are involved with the celebration of Christmas. If you don’t feel some tension, some excitement, or some pressure, something at this time of the year, you are either dead or you’ve been watching the Redskins, which is about the same thing. ...read more

    You need hope to cope. Where can you find the hope you need in this mixed-up world? Paul tells us in Ephesians 1:15-23.

    A Study in Ephesians: WHERE TO FIND THE HOPE YOU NEED Ephesians 1:15-23 ________________________________________ The Ephesians were exhibiting ample amounts of faith and love but were coming up short in hope. Paul praised the Ephesians for their faith and love but prayed for their hope. As a ...read more

    Bondage Verses Freedom Series

    based on 40 ratings
     | 28,290 views

    The proposition that only those who by faith accept God’s promise are children of God is given its last defense with an appeal to Scripture interpretation. It appeals to Scripture to again prove that Christians are not under law.

    GALATIANS 4:21-31 BONDAGE VERSES FREEDOM [Genesis 16:1- 4; 21:8-12] How you interpret the facts is important. A worldly young Southern Baptist went to the racetrack for the very first time. He saw a priest in the paddock give a horse a blessing. The boy took the horse’s number, placed a ...read more

    If God is just why is life so unfair?

    Life isn’t fair? “Life isn’t fair!” How often have you heard those words spoken? We read ‘unfair’ news stories everyday. Widows and pensioners defrauded of their life savings; young women attacked and raped; young men killed or maimed in car accidents; refugees from yet another war in Africa dying ...read more

    Presumption

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 9, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,411 views

    Religion does not create a relationship with God, nor does ritual. It is refinement born of repentance that shapes that relationship. Repent, relate, and receive.

    “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” Famous words supposedly spoken by journalist Henry Morton Stanley somewhere in Tanganyika at the end of his expedition to find the missing explorer. “I presume”. It means, “I think I know what I am doing. Would you please confirm it for me? You look like what I ...read more

    God does not want sanctimonious platitudes and feel-good ritual; He wants us, and our praise to Him needs to reflect true righteousness and thanksgiving.
