    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,106 views

    This sermon has a quote from Leonard Sweet, and an illustration from WWII. The Pharisees challenges the power of Jesus to heal. To reject the work of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus is to reject Jesus and is unforgivable.

    In Jesus Holy Name June 6, 2021 Redeemer Text: Mark 3:28-29 “The Cosmic War and the Ministry of Jesus” Today’s Gospel reading brings us to a challenge very early in the ministry of Jesus. Jesus has been baptized by John in the Jordan River and returns to his home town ...read more

    This parable illustrates the deceitfulness of guarded wealth. It is a stewardship parable, in the fact that it addresses the issue of our use of resources, both monetary and spiritual. The lesson we will learn is “use it, or lose it.”

    This morning’s message is entitled “Hoarder or Steward?” O. S. Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more

    There Are No Advantages To Sin

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 27, 2021
     | 2,056 views

    The Scriptures are filled with illustrations of people who learned the hard way and oftentimes too late that sinful actions carry a high price and prove to be of no advantage to anyone. What, then, is your excuse?

    The Bible has never been shy or unapologetic when it comes to exposing the sins, deceit, and wickedness of fallen humanity and our war against the righteousness and holiness of God. The Bible is open and blunt about the penalty for sin, but has also shown that the Lord God is not willing that ...read more

    Set Free From Shame Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 770 views

    The sermon explores the transformative encounter of the Samaritan woman with Jesus, illustrating God's intent to save rather than condemn, and the possibility of turning guilt and shame into healing and belonging through God's grace.

    The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, and sets her free from shame and guilt. She arrives at the well as a sinner, but leaves as a saint. ...read more
