Samson: Sidelined By Sin, Pt 3 By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Aug 10, 2004

Success lies not in achieving what you aim at but in aiming at what you ought to achieve. Samson missed the mark. His aim was his pleasures. It cost him the ultimate sacrifice, his life. It’s easy to see ourselves through his mistakes. Let’s examine it to

The Debt Of Love Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 2, 2004

When we present ourselves as a living sacrifice to God, we join the fellowship of those who choose to focus upon loving God and loving others. How to love can be confusing. We need some hands on principles about Biblical love. Biblical Love does not ju

Watch And Pray While You Wait

I Will Not Give To God Anything That Costs Me Nothing Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Oct 2, 2016

David said: "I won’t make an offering to God that doesn’t cost me something." What a great passage on demonstration of faith in God. Listen! To give without sacrifice is not to give at all. Ornan and David sacrificed but I believe Ornan sacrificed more.

Salvation Is By Grace, Not By Deeds

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 11, 2016

God’s peace and power can only be experienced when we say no to ourselves and our ambitions and yes to God. God sacrificed Jesus for our sins, so it is only fair for us to make the sacrifices we have to make to love God and show that love to the world.

Have you ever been in a gathering where you felt that you did not belong? Have you even been in a club where you had to obey the rules? If so, then perhaps you can understand why Paul wrote the passage from Galatians that we heard earlier in this morning’s service. Paul has just recalled ...read more

Setting Up Idols In Bethel

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

First, Jeroboam built two idols and placed them in Bethel and Dan. Bethel means House of God and Dan means He judged. In the House of God, Jeroboam erected an idol—the golden calf. Jeroboam setup up a new altar to offer sacrifices before the golden calf.

Then he made two golden calves, and he said to the people, “Going to Jerusalem is too difficult for you. Israel, here is your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt.” He set up one in Bethel, and put the other in Dan. 1 Kings 12:28,29 First, Jeroboam built two idols and placed them in Bethel ...read more

Sermon # 38 - The Attributes Of God The Father Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 23, 2025

God is our loving Heavenly Father who sent His only begotten Son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. When God is our Father we have forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption, His loving kindness and tender mercies and a life of total contentment.

How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

How To Endure To The End Series

Contributed by James Wallace on May 4, 2021

Jesus assured us in the Parable of the Sower that people falling away from the faith would be a regular part of our experience. However, we certainly don't want it to be our personal experience! An oft-ignored & challenging warning tells us how we can prevent that possibility.

As we have made our way through the book of Hebrews, the single New Testament book devoted to the topic of Christians who are tempted or actually do fall away from the faith, I naturally have been led to sadly contemplate those Christians I have known who have fallen away. These, tragically, were ...read more
