The Cry Of My People

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 4, 2005

For those of us that have loved and served God for a long period of time, we want to know why it is that many friends and relatives are still not saved. A word of caution to us all. Time is running out!

Gates Of Heaven

Contributed by Gary Stebbins on Feb 24, 2008

Jacob wrestled with issues of faith. Would he take the God of his father and grandfather to be his God? As Jacob was running from his brother Esau, God opened up to him the gates of heaven.

Jesus Defends The Wrong

Contributed by Matthew Morine on May 25, 2007

Christians run through society judging sin. But instead of judging the failing morality of the world, Christains should love people through sin. It is easy to judge from afar; it is courageous to love up close.

Jesus Defends the Wrong Theme: Jesus protects the sinner from the self-righteous. Text: John 8:1-11 Lucy is a pretty fourteen year old girl. Maybe that was half of the problem; she was too attractive too early in life. She started dating Mark at the beginning of the school year, Mark was a ...read more

There are a lot of people listening that will never be saved for various reasons, oh they may be thinking that their going to be saved someday, so they keep putting it off for the time being until finally their time has run out.

What Doest Thou Here, Elijah? Series

Contributed by Toby Powers on Nov 1, 2008

Following Elijah’s greatest victories he goes into a deep depression and runs from the will of God. The Lord asks him a question we should all consider, "What doest thou here, Elijah?"

"Unless The Lord Builds The House"

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 20, 2017

The opening line of Psalm 127 emphasizes a theme that runs through both Psalm 127 and 128 – without God’s direct and crucial involvement in its building and protection, no house, city, or family will survive.

Note: I have developed a few slides in PowerPoint that I used in delivering this sermon. They're not fancy, but if anyone is interested in them I will send them to you directly by Email.

The God Who Still Comes For His People Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 30, 2009

Where is God when we’ve messed up? God is there with compassion. That is the word in the passage. God is there with restoration. God is there to strengthen. God is there to answer. These are powerful, amazing words! Let’s not run past them!!

The God Who Still Comes For His People October 19, 2008 Zech 10 Intro: A little over a month ago, I was sitting on the LRT late one night after a football game, feeling a profound sense of sadness.

Mucky Mud

Contributed by Craig Benner on Jun 1, 2016

What kind of adhesive are using in the building blocks of your spiritual life? Don't look for the easiest way out. Be careful of inferior products that give a quick job, but will not hold up in the long run.

Just Gummy Mud Ezekiel 13:10-16 10 ¶ Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: 11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an ...read more

Ministered To The Lord

Contributed by Tom Feola on Jun 25, 2012

As the early church came together you see one set of words that run throughout the book of Acts and that is "ONE ACCORD" We today need to walk this way and see the power of God in our churches.

A Picture Of Christ

Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Mar 25, 2011

In Christ's interaction with this woman at the well, He gives us a picture of who He is and why He came into this world. He didn't come to run away from sinners, but to call them to himself

John 4:5-26 She was tired. She was tired of knowing that if she walked into a room full of people laughing and chatting, it would go eerily and suddenly quiet the moment she walked through the door.

This Is No Time For Sleeping

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Sep 21, 2022

The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken ...read more

Disciplined Living Sermon Iv: Christ The Master Of My New Life Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jun 3, 2020

In times when anti-Christian sentiment runs high in our society, mature Christians make choices and decisions based on their full surrender and devotion to Christ as the Master of their lives. Thus, Faith is indeed the Victory!

THE MASTER OF MY LIFE IN CHRIST The choices we make in life define us and determine our future. At some point in our lives we who gather here to worship the Lord made the same choice Joshua made long ago, “As for me and my ...read more

Simon The Zealot Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Under different circumstances Simon would run a blade through Matthew, and Matthew would live in fear of Simon, but Jesus makes them partners in the Gospel. A left-winger and a right-winger united in Christ.

We want to look at an Apostle of whom we would know nothing if the New Testament did not tell us of his political affiliation before he became a believer. If a man was called Simon the Democrat or Simon the Republican, you would not be able to draw many conclusions about him because these terms ...read more

Heart Of A Champion

Contributed by Isaac Magsino on Aug 16, 2020

Perhaps more than anyone else – I would like to run with DAVID. For a simple reason, He was the man after God’s own heart. A great king, a great warrior, powerful, with confidence.

HEART OF A CHAMPION A Message from DAVID August 16, 2020 Intro: Hebrews 12:1 International Children’s Bible (ICB) 12 So we have many people of faith around us. Their lives tell us what faith means.
