    How can these things be? That was the question Nicodemus asked Jesus in our passage today. Do you ever find yourself asking that question?

    Pressing On Series

     | 8,028 views

    This is a narrative style sermon intended to bring out the spirit of the passage and give drama and encouragement to listeners to keep "Pressing On" in their walk, or run, of faith.

    KEEP PRESSING ON My first love in preaching is to teach a verse by verse exegesis of the passage. Sometimes the passage is so familiar to the congregation that a different approach is needed to accentuate the truths. To make the passage real for people who are listening and wanting to engage it ...read more

    As we look at these two passages of Scripture this morning, I think we are going to discover three important facts about the work that we do.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think Labor Day is a kind of strange holiday. And it's difficult for a preacher to know what to preach on Labor Day Sunday. It's not one of the major holidays. Relatives don't come. There is no turkey to eat or presents to ...read more

    the church has been conflicted for centuries whether we should make oaths or not. What does this passage teach us about oaths?

    Should We Make Oaths? Matthew 5:33-37 This passage is another demonstration of the problem with the teaching of the Scribes and Pharisees. As we have noticed throughout the study, the failure of the Pharisees was more than a failure to practice what they preached. The problem is that they were ...read more
