The Sleeping Church Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 7, 2014

Opening illustration: Where was the church when prayer was taken out of schools in 1962? Or when abortion was legalized in 1973?

Contributed by Patrick O'loughlin on Feb 17, 2003

What are the signs of the end of the Age and how will the Church respond?

Text: Matthew 24:1-14 Title: Signs of the End of the Age. Introduction. I think there are two reasons these verses are in the Bible and they are both found in verse 1.

Learning To Discern Good From Evil

Contributed by Jerry Gatson on Jan 19, 2008

A message warning of the dangers of compromise with the world.

The Christian And The World II Cor. 6:14-17 The primary problem for many Christians could be in the difficulty encountered in being all they know they should be for the Lord.

Contributed by W F on Aug 19, 2013

God loves to help those who have no-one else to turn to. Here's his plan for surviving when our lives come crashing down.

We often think that plane crashes are catastrophic and unsurvivable events. Thanks to movies and 24/7 news channels, most of us think that all plane crashes end in a free fall from 30,000ft and a terrifying fireball.

A Secret No Longer Sermon I: Before You Were Born, The Lord Knew You Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Apr 6, 2020

Clearly and unmistakably the Bible teaches that human life was created for a purpose and that the Lord God knows about every birth-to-be.

BEFORE YOU (WE) WERE BORN, THE LORD GOD KNEW YOU (US)? HOW CAN THAT BE? One of the most intriguing encounters with Jesus recorded in the Bible is the account of a visit with Jesus one night by a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, Nicodemus, who honestly acknowledged that Jesus was a ...read more

The Wrath & Righteousness Of God Revealed

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 8, 2002

Our study through the book of Romans 1 shows us a God who loves humans, but must reveal His wrath on anything that is not like Him. It is one of the best chapters in the Bible to clearly understand God’s righteous character, and our fallibility.

Why is there evil in the world? How can a loving God condemn anyone to hell? Does God condemn me when I do wrong? How can I be a Christian and yet still sin? How do law and faith work together? Where do I find help and hope? What happens to the Jews after they rejected Jesus? How am I supposed to ...read more
