    based on 13 ratings
     | 21,573 views

    A look at the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives to empower us to accomplish the Great Commission. There is a long introduction. The primary passage is not introduced till nearly 1/2 through the message. Expanded outline.

    THE STRENGTH TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE - Matthew 28:16-20 > Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, Jesus has been crucified. He has been buried and risen again.

    Faithfulness Is Diligence, Not Indulgence Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Oct 5, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,193 views

    This is a passage that challenges the reality of our Christian faith, the diligence of our walk with Christ, and the error we may harbor in our minds concerning our security in Christ, and His blessings towards us.

    FAITHFULNESS IS DILIGENCE, NOT INDULGENCE 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13 INTRODUCTION: The passage before us this morning is one to ponder. It is a passage that challenges the reality of our Christian faith, the diligence of our walk with Christ, and the error we may harbor in our minds concerning our ...read more

    Do You Want The Lord As Your Shepherd?

    Contributed by William Akehurst on May 6, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,218 views

    From Childhood, many have read and even memorized Psalm 23. This message takes a look at this well known passage from an ALTERNATE perspective by adding 1 WORD. (Useful for Funeral Service)

    DO YOU WANT THE LORD AS YOUR SHEPHERD? Psalm 23 by William Akehurst, HSWC 5/3/08 When I learned of Cousin’s death at about 6 am on Saturday morning, I believe the LORD laid it on my heart to share this message for the funeral service, regarding this well known Psalm. I penned it moments after I ...read more

    Jesus' Plan For Our Money Worries

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 24, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,941 views

    This passage is often taken out of context by people wanting "just a little less worry." In fact, the promises here are intimated tied to Jesus’ statements on about investing in the Kingdom (vv. 19-24).

    - These verses make up one of my two favorite passages in the Bible. Still, as I studied this passage this week, I saw something that I had never seen before, something that opened up a depth that I hadn’t known was there. - The key thing that I had never put together is that it is impossible to ...read more

    based on 3 ratings

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The Magi followed the star from their homes all the way to Jesus. - This is the version of the story that we’ve seen shared in countless Christmas plays, movies, and cards. - And, as we’re going to be discussing at several points in this series, the fact that ...read more

    Dealing With Depression

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Mar 18, 2013
     | 7,735 views

    A tough sermon that addresses the reality of depression and how to deal with it from a Biblical perspective. Because of the subject matter there was no central scripture text, but a variety of passages that gave evidence to the fact that many Biblical cha

    Well, good morning. Is anybody dealing with the winter blues? Anybody at all? Be honest. Of course you are. Because it’s January, there is snow on the ground, it’s cold out there, and the Steelers are not going to be in the Super Bowl. We all experience the winter blues, but if ...read more

    The Lord’s Return And Resurrection: Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 24, 2012
     | 4,226 views

    Paul wants to make it perfectly clear that he doesn’t know when the Lord is returning to earth, nor does anyone else. We will note five things about this passage for this study.

    We have spent the last two Wednesday studies talking about the RAPTURE and what we can expect. Paul said he didn’t want us to be ignorant of what is going to happen even though many Christians are. He has explained how the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are living Christians at ...read more

    Confirmed By God

     | 6,464 views

    God’s actions confirm His nature. God breaks in our world to give confirmation of His greatness. He does this in this passage and many times in the Old Testament – to confirm Himself as Lord.

    ’The proof of the pudding is in the eating’ is a very old proverb. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations dates it back to the early 14th century (albeit without offering any supporting evidence for that assertion.) The phrase is widely attributed to Cervantes in The History of Don Quixote. It means ...read more

    Spiritual Leadership Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,775 views

    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.

    Spiritual Leadership 1 Corinthians 4 Most American Christians are soft. Our crosses are pretty jewelry, not instruments of brutal death. They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more

    "The Intersection Of Faith And Doubt"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2016
     | 7,914 views

    We know from previous passages of scripture that Jesus had given them the authority to heal and they had been successful many times. But this time they seem to be in over their heads. They pray and nothing happens.

    "The Intersection of Faith and Doubt" Mark 9:14-24 We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was ...read more

    In Acts 14:1-7 we read the story of Paul’s ministry in Iconium. Buried in this passage of Scripture are two nuggets of truth about our minds and about the nature of truth.

    The Major Events At The Cross Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 20, 2011
     | 6,387 views

    We are going to divide this passage into 8 events to get a better understanding of what is happening. This is not an unfamiliar story to most Christians but maybe we can learn yet a little more about it.

    The most significant event in history is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We are saved by His death. Because He died, we live. But there IS a condition. We have to believe, and it’s the necessity for belief that John stressed throughout his gospel. He was an eyewitness of the crucifixion, and ...read more

    Seven Exceptions In The Bible

    Word studies are fascinating. Taking a word and looking how it is used through the Bible is a profitable study. We shall look at the word “except” and some of the passages where it was used in God’s word.

    Intro: Word studies are fascinating. Taking a word and looking how it is used through the Bible is a profitable study. We shall look at the word “except” and some of the passages where it was used in God’s word. “Except” is used 74X in the KJB. It is a word that is relative to “unless” and implies ...read more

    As I read this passage I see two things that jump off the page at me here. Two notes of what we as Obedient Christians should be doing in our daily walk with God.

    Helping a Needy World Acts 3:1-10 Introduction The book of Acts tells us in simple terms how the Early Church functioned and affected its world.
