    Most of us, when our sins are found out, are quick to look for a scapegoat. So let’s look at some of the ways we use to blame someone else for our sins.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. Folks, as you can see in the bulletin, the subject of my sermon is "How Do You Determine What is Right & What is wrong?" But as I worked on it this week it became obvious to me that the subject is just too big to ...read more

    Immediately after Abram gets "back to basics," a controversy develops. Did you know that "blessing" can lead to dissension? Did you know that walking in faith almost inevitably leads to opposition?

    The Head-On Collision Text: Genesis 13:1-18 When a corporation has some bad financial reverses, you are likely to read a press release that says something about getting back to the company’s core business. When a sports team gets outplayed, the coach’s press conference will usually have a statement ...read more

    Sometimes what we need to do is not try to create something better, but appreciate what already is best, as these proverbs lead us to do reflect on what is better in life.

    Introduction As Americans of ingenuity, we are always looking for something better – a better way to travel, to produce energy, to clean stains. That zeal to improve our lot pushes us to make the many improvements in technology that we have. But sometimes what we need to do is not try to ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,959 views

    The world tells us they don't want us "rocking the boat," but that's exactly what they need. The success of the Early Church was that they upset the natural order. Only if people are exposed to Jesus will they be saved. We must make that happen!

    "SIT DOWN! YOU’RE ROCKING THE BOAT!" INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young man went fishing with his father and a friend in an open boat. He didn’t have his sea-legs yet. He’d get up and try to walk. He had poor balance, so the boat would see-saw violently. (The boat didn’t have good ...read more

    This sermon deals with how hearts are harden by pride and lack of conviction toward the gospel and as a result the gospel seed is stolen before it ever had a chance to germinate in our souls. Good in a series of the 4 soils in mark 4.
