    If we received a phone call from Abraham, we would conclude that God has ALWAYS saved people by grace through faith – always. And we would conclude that without faith, it is impossible to please God.

    It’s the Same Old (But Wonderful) Song (Romans 4:1-25) 1. PITTSBURGH (Reuters)- "One felony, extra crispy, please." City police on Friday said they were looking for a man who called a KFC restaurant and placed an unusual takeout order — a robbery. The man called the restaurant March 31 and ...read more

    John The Baptist: Dramatic Monolog

    Contributed by Dean O'bryan on Jul 12, 2006
    based on 21 ratings
     | 12,162 views

    This is a monolog I wrote for a student at a Christian High School, then later I performed it myself. It incorporates John’s message, first of repentance, then of pointing people to Jesus as the Messiah.

    Introduction (I had someone read this before I came to the platform) It was a dark and discouraging time in Israel. A time of cultural and political unrest. But for men and women who knew God and were sensitive to Him, it was a time for prayer and seeking, a time of hope that He was about to do ...read more

    Freedom

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,284 views

    The church must speak Gods truth even when the government of the day no longer wishes to hear it. Pray we find the courage our brave veterans posses so that we too can defend the faith from enemies both foreign and domestic and enjoy our freedom.

    Freedom There are many kinds of freedom and many kinds of slavery. We can be free in our spirit and souls yet be enslaved and held prisoner by a government that does not recognize our God or our beliefs. We think of ancient times when Christians were brought into the arenas as slaves for the ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 7,336 views

    God over-turned and overcame the opposition of the Jews and the Romans allowing Paul’s worst time to become His best enduring legacy. Challenge - Can we, like Paul trust and obey God even when our best efforts for Him seem to initially fail?

    Turning Your Worst Times to Your Best Legacy (Acts 22) We see a lot of reality shows on TV today but perhaps my favorite is Bridezilla. It amazes me how what should be the best time of a young woman’s life turns out to be her worst legacy. The show chronicles the life and experiences of young ...read more

    Jesus was not born on the "right side of the track." We can accomplish more than we ever thought. This sermon looks at the lineage and culture of the Birth of Christ.

    We need to be prepared to tell people about Jesus as we go about our lives… Who is Jesus? Where did He come from? What did do? What did say? What was His character? What was His nature? And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more
