    Broken To Be Made Whole

    Contributed by Jack Martin on Jan 21, 2023
     | 3,711 views

    Growing up in the 50’s – Many things were taught to us as young kids that if I am honest were inaccurate or for lack of better words wrong and potentially dangerous both physically and Spiritually.

    The Title for this morning’s message is - Broken to Be Whole (glow sticks) • I had done a series a few years back and one of the other topics was emptied to be filled. • Another was humbled to be exalted. Each actually a teaching of Jesus to his followers. My point is there are things ...read more

    “Two Prayers Only One Answered” Luke 18: 9-14 As we continue to look at different prayers in the Bible I was lead to this portion of scripture, where there are two men praying.

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 6, 2023

     | 3,470 views

    How do we posture ourselves for Revival? This message draws upon the Beatitudes for answers to that question.

    I want to share with you eight keys attitudes for revival. I confess up front that this list is not original with me. I got it from the greatest revivalist who ever lived. He shared these insights at the beginning of his Sermon on the Mount. We often refer to these eight attitudes of heart as the ...read more

    Only Then May We Celebrate Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2023
     | 808 views

    The truly repentant one knows where the problem is. It’s in his own mind, which he bows down to the Almighty, and in his heart, which he beats as he prays.

    Saturday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2023 When we read the Gospel passage that looks into the minds and hearts of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we see two entirely different ideas of sin and repentance. The first, which is way more popular than the other, is what is called “comparative” ...read more

    "but Is It In The Bible?"

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 6, 2022
     | 1,859 views

    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

    Blessed are the Poor Matthew 5:1-3 July 10, 2022 One Sunday after worship --- a little boy told the pastor, “When I get a job, I’m gonna give you some money. The pastor said, “Well, thank you, but why?” “Because my daddy says you’re one of the poorest preachers we’ve ever had.” Being poor, ooh, ...read more

    Living Water Series

     | 2,242 views

    God’s will for you every day is to drink of His Spirit, worship in spirit and truth, and tell others about His Son. If you pursue just these three desires of God every day, you’ll live a full life without all the hassle and hurry.

    Alan Fadling, in his book An Unhurried Life, tells a parable of a king who had two servants. One of the servants, for fear of not pleasing his master, rose early each day to hurry along to do all the things that he believed the king wanted done. He didn't want to bother the king with ...read more

    Jesus told a story (parable) about two men who went to the Temple to pray. One man was changed, but the other remained the same. Let's take a look:

    (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Some folks have become concerned about where they’re going when they die. I know of some who have asked, “Am I going to Hell when I die?” Today’s text, a story from Jesus about two people, ...read more

    A sermon about something we are all guilty of.

    “The Great Mercy of God” Luke 18:9-14 Have you ever driven past another person holding a sign “will work for food” and felt a bit of disgust or even contempt in your heart toward them…kind of like a feeling of “I’m better than you”?

    Justice But Not For Us

    Contributed by Kenneth R. Jenkins on Aug 7, 2023
     | 1,930 views

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    A) Always Pray and Don’t Give Up (18:1) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (18:1) Verse 1 starts with “Then.” Notice that this teaching on prayer follows directly on Jesus’ teaching on the coming of the Son of Man. Indeed, verse ...read more

    Preparing For Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,286 views

    An overview of how to truly prepare yourself before you go to God in prayer.

    I have shared with a few of you the past few days or weeks that after the Bible study in the Book of Daniel I was thinking about explaining and giving detailed instructions on centering prayer. I haven’t done that in a number of years so I thought it would be good to discuss it this evening. I ...read more

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

     | 1,367 views

    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

    A Prayer God Hears

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 24, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,710 views

    Jesus shows two very different prayer styles, and in so doing, reveals two very different heart styles. One will enter the kingdom of heaven; one won't. Our prayer life should reflect humility throughout.

    Luke 18:9-14 A Prayer God Hears Last week we looked at a parable where Jesus taught us to be persistent in our prayers: pray always, never give up, and above all, keep the faith! Today, in the very next passage in the Bible, Jesus makes a different point: he really points to the very crux of our ...read more

    Justified or Not? Luke 18: 9 - 14 Intro: A man went to visit a psychiatrist. “Doc, I’ve got 2 problems.” The doc said, “Tell me about it.” The man began, “First of all, I think I am a Coca-Cola machine.” The doc sat the man down and started therapy which lasted weeks.
