Sermons on Roll Away The Stone:

On Fire But Not Anointed Series

Contributed by Charles Jones on Aug 29, 2007

Apollos knew about John’s declaration that Jesus was the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world, I believe he knew about Jesus’ death and resurrection and I also believe that he knew about Jesus as Savior but he didn’t know anything about the

As we look at our text this morning we are dealing with a very familiar text about Apollos and his encounter with Priscilla and Aquilla who would literally change his life. Often times God allows us to cross paths with people that we often don’t know who happen to be in our lives for a season……and ...read more

Why The Mess We Have In Our Country?

Contributed by William D. Brown on Feb 25, 2009

I don’t see how any logical thinking person can deny that something is drastically wrong, the only way any one could possible not realize it, is that they would have to live away back in the jungles some where or another and never have had a monetary s

WHY THE MESS WE HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY? Job 8: 8-13 2-28-09 Today I want to bring us a few thoughts on what I believe are some of the reasons that we have such a financial crisis in our Country, and not only here in this Country, but around the world. I don’t see how any ...read more

A Father's Heart

Contributed by David Scudder on Jun 20, 2008

When we view children as a curse rather than a blessing we are under God’s curse. One reason that is true, I believe, is that children reveal whether we have a servant’s heart or a selfish heart. A selfish heart is more concerned about getting away from

A Father’s Heart Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Purpose: To show what a godly father looks like. Aim: I want the listener to focus on loving children by showing Christ to them.

The Saving Grace Of God Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 9, 2009

God makes us a free offer to bring us back to life. All that’s needed to receive all of the bounty that God offers is to believe his promise, turn away from that rebellion and live. And for those who do that God has good works prepared for us to do, that

Running The Race

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 16, 2009

A message of faith. Do we hide from fear, or step out in faith? Do we normally run to God, or away from Him? And this message ends with a question: ’Are we serious about living for Jesus, or do we just go through the motions, thinking we are serious?’

Two gas company employees were out reading meters one day when they started talking about how good of physical condition they were in. One of them bragged that he used to be a track star in high school and the other one claimed to be one, too. So they decided that after they checked the meter ...read more

Becoming The Body

Contributed by Justin Lauramore on Nov 14, 2012

A large church with many members does not mean a better church unless those members are active. The church has been given a great opportunity. We have been given many people with different skill sets that can accomplish many things. When we take away t

The Best Reason To Forgive

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 17, 2017

We have lots of good reasons to forgive others who hurt us, but the best reason to forgive is because God has forgiven us so much more. When we learn to appreciate the full extent of God's grace, we can practice giving away that grace to others.

Matthew 18:21-35 The Best Reason to Forgive At some point, every one of us has been hurt, sometimes quite deeply. Maybe somebody here today is hurting. The question is, will you be able to forgive and let go, to move forward with your life? Forgiveness is a choice. You don’t have to forgive, but ...read more

When God Is Silent

Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on May 29, 2021

Silence has a language all its own. Some of the hardest things to handle are the times in our lives when God seems like He is a million miles away and is not answering our prayers. In this message, Dr. Vorce addresses how to process the "silent times" in our lives.

While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022

Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

Contributed by Kevin Call on Jun 11, 2018

Peter's Denials

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 12, 2018

With Easter being a few weeks away our focus begins to shift to Jesus' death and resurrection. When Jesus told his disciples about this one of them became a little upset. You know about Peter denying that he knew Jesus but that's just one of his denials.

Jesus And Youth Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Apr 20, 2023

Young people slowly turn away from the Church. They loose interest in Christ. They feel boredom in the preaching of pastors, even a young man had that problem in Mark. A little further walk with Christ could have given him a great light. Where are you today, O young man?

Lesson 15 Mark 10:17-23 Jesus and Youth in Mark “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Someone needs to remind them to remember. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.” (Psalm 119:9). “It is good for a man that he bears the ...read more

Hope When You Don't Think You Have Enough Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Nov 29, 2023

Christmas is often a time when people struggle feeling that they don't have enough, or can't provide enough. It often steals away the joy of Christmas. Mary could have felt that she did not have enough; yet her song proves-- Jesus was enough.

One of the top 10 Christmas songs of all time- it actually is ranked #7- is the song: “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The song goes like this: “Don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just ...read more
