Church – The Essential Service Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 22, 2018

Sometimes Christians treat the church as an emergency service … a place to go when you need spiritual help and security, but to be avoided when all is well. But the church is the only institution which can stand against the gates of Hades. Therefore church is an essential service.

Message Matthew 16:13-20 Church – The Essential Service What do we do when we have an emergency? When there is fire … we call the Fire Brigade When there is a street fight … we call the Police. When there is a car accident and people are injured … we call the Ambulance. That’s who we think of ...read more

Having No Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

Phil Callaway talks about a sleepy Sunday afternoon when his son was five years old. They drove past a cemetery together and the boy noticed a large pile of dirt beside a newly excavated grave.

Ho-Hum

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 2, 2006

We are lost in the swamp of compromise, because: 1. We value security over significance. 2. We value what is easy over what takes effort. 3. We value the material over the spiritual. 4. We value mediocrity over excellence.

John Steinbeck, winner of the Nobel Prize, decided to travel around the country he loved in order to explore and enjoy it more deeply. He was also planning on writing about his experiences in a book, but he was surprised that very few people encouraged him to go. Some even said that it was too ...read more

Grace We Struggle To Accept: The Embrace Of Grace Series

Contributed by David Flowers on Apr 27, 2005

Grace is not only hard to understand, it is difficult to accept. While every human being has a deep need for acceptance, security, and significance, we tend to seek the meeting of those needs in other human beings, who can never really meet those needs.

Grace We Struggle to Accept: The Embrace of Grace Grace, prt. 2 Wildwind Community Church David K. Flowers 3/20/05 I want to start today’s message on an uncharacteristically heavy note. I have a few questions for you, and they’re the kind of questions that may not be easy for you to answer. ...read more

Can An Hour Make A Difference?

An encouraging sermon using the idea of "Daylight Savings Time" and what to do with that hour. (Present requests, State of Mind, secure foundation, abiding presence, a new song to sing, investing your hour wisely) I waited patiently and God heard my cry

The Promised Kingdom - Abram - Man Of Faith Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

God wants us to follow Abram’s example of living by faith, holding loosely to the things of this world, the things that appear to give comfort and security and to act on what God promises even when our external circumstances appear to indicate that it’s n

If you’ve been here for the last couple of sermons in this series you may remember that one of the things we noted in the account of Adam & Eve was that they were called to live by faith in God’s word alone. All they were given to go on was what God had told them about not eating of the tree of ...read more

Hope In The Last Days Series

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Oct 22, 2010

People don’t wear parachutes because they are comfortable, they wear them for security. So many Christians today have ditched their parachute because it didn’t bring them happiness on the flight of life. God is not near as interested in pacifying or pleas

So much of what we call hope is temporary. It is fleeting. At most, it lasts in this life only. Paul said (1 Cor. 15:19) that if Christ brings a temporary hope only, we are the most miserable of men on the planet. I would agree. Most people don’t wear parachutes because they are ...read more

God's Final Call

Contributed by James May on Nov 7, 2010

God is making his final call to his people, "Repent and prepare to meet your God". Too many of God's people live in a false sense of security, believing in lying words. Let's make our salvation sure and fully commit to serving the Lord!

God’s Final Call Sunday, November 07, 2010 – AM By Pastor James May Jeremiah was probably the most humble prophet of the Old Testament. His heart was broken because of the condition of Israel, and on more than one occasion he wept openly for his people. He was one of very few ...read more

Bloom Where You Are Planted

Contributed by Curt Cizek on Sep 16, 2009

God moved the Israelites from Judah to Babylon and called them to "bloom where they were planted". Likewise God moves us around and calls us to do the same. I preached this sermon in Iraq for a group of Ugandan security personnel celebrating their one y

God’s Protection Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 24, 2023

The devil took this passage to entice Jesus to jump off the pinnacle. The devil used or misused this text as though it provides unconditional security in any and every circumstance. Jesus own experience shows that even faithful ones suffer, have emotional anguish and physical pain.

The theme of this Psalm is God’s protection. There is a sense that Psalm 91 stands alone from all other passages of the Bible. It contains the only passage of the Bible quoted by the devil. Scripture teaches us that God protects those who love him and will help them in their trouble. The devil ...read more

A Goodly Heritage - The Path Of Life Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 27, 2025

This sermon argues that the only cure for humanity's deepest ache for security and joy is to follow the "path of life," which involves radically trusting in God, finding contentment in Him as your inheritance, and embracing the hope of resurrection through Jesus Christ.

Introduction: The Soul's Deepest Ache Brothers and sisters, if you look at the heart of humanity, you will find a deep and constant ache. It is the ache for security, for a joy that lasts, for a purpose that death cannot erase. Our modern world offers a thousand prescriptions for this ache. It ...read more
