To See Or Not To See? That Is The Question.

Contributed by Herb Pulse on May 14, 2022

What is it that you and I see when we go to God? Do we see ourselves through God’s lens?

All seems very wonderful on the surface. How wonderful it is for men to pray! How wonderful as in the days of old when we first read of how men began to call upon the name of the Lord in Genesis 4:26. So now we see in Luke 18 the telling from Jesus of two men, two prayers. The declaration being ...read more

Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021

A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 31, 2021

In answer to the question: There seem to be a lot of different ideas about how a person can be sure to be allowed into Heaven. I have a lot of family members who tried different approaches. Are they in Heaven or not?

"but Is It In The Bible?"

Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 6, 2022

Many people teach and practice things that are not in the Bible. Here is a sample of my book, "But Is It In The Bible?"

At the outset, let me assure the reader that I believe that we are saved by grace through faith. We do not earn, merit, or work for salvation. It is a free gift, paid for and delivered by Jesus. But it is appropriated by faith. Faith is always more than mere head stuff. It is more than assent to ...read more

Two Revealing Prayers Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

Can You Be Righteous, And Look Down On People? (Luke 18:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 3, 2022

Also, don't get discouraged, or stop praying. A look at two parables, with a trick to reading them better.

When it comes to the Bible, most of us have favorite parts. For some of you, it's maybe a book-- Psalms, or Matthew. For others, it's maybe a type of literature-- prophecy. We know the whole Bible is inspired. We know it's useful. We read it all. But some parts, we enjoy more than ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Pharisee And The Publican) # 20

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

One of the biggest problems we have in this country and around the world today, is the problem with relationships.

Our courts are backed up for years, and most of them are due to relationship problems. For example: (1) WE HAVE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS When we see the way some husbands and wives act towards each other, it is hard to believe that at one time they stood at the sacred altar before God and ...read more

The Surety Of Forgiveness

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 12, 2022

I want to spend some time in the next few weeks talking about the surety of things. Can we really be sure of anything? We do have assurance. God wants every believer to have assurance of salvation.

I want to spend some time in the next few weeks talking about the surety of things. Can we really be sure of anything? Someone once said, “The only things we can be sure of are taxes and the rent going up.” Some philosophers will tell you that we can't be sure of anything. After Covid-19 ...read more

Sorry Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 13, 2023

To be sorry means "I am filled with sorrow." What can the Pharisee and the Tax Collector teach us about the value of being "filled with sorrow" before our God?

A woman told about a conversation that she’d had with her 4-year-old son after they’d gotten out of their Bible Studies one night. She said: “My son and I were WALKING to our car, and he said to me, ‘Mom, I’m not going to sin anymore.’” I got to wondering this, so I asked him why he said that, ...read more

Paul is giving Timothy this trustworthy saying. He emphasizes that this is a sure word that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.

Do you remember when you made a concentrated effort to clean your house and felt the satisfaction of a clean house?

Conceal Vs. Confess PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 29, 2023

The importance of acknowledging and confessing our sins rather than concealing them and the transformative power of God's forgiveness.

Good morning, beloved! Today, we're going to dive deep into a topic that touches all of us - sin. We often think that we can hide our sins, keep them concealed from others, and maybe even from God. But, as St. Augustine once said, "The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works." ...read more
