    Christian Atheist: Shame Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jan 7, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,611 views

    what do we do? How do we break through shame and come out the other side? How do we smash out of self-recrimination and move on with our lives basking in the forgiveness of God?

    This sermon is based off of a few ideas in Craig Groeshel’s book “The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living as if He Doesn’t Exist.” Zondervan, 2010. ISBN: 9780310332220 CHRISTIAN ATHEIST: SHAME PSALM 51:1-12 INTRODUCTION… Smack in the face (p) Last January, ...read more

    Defined By Your Job?

    Making work our priority can become a problem in our relationship with God and with our family. It can also develop into an issue with our self-worth should we ever experience problems in the workplace or the loss of a job.

    Today’s sermon is for the men of our congregation; being that we had a Men’s Breakfast this morning. I would like to begin our message with a short sermon illustration. Author John Trent, in an article entitled “A Father’s Heart,” states, “Not long ago, my family and I had the privilege of going ...read more

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,723 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    Be Accepting Of The Sick Series

     | 3,169 views

    People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation

    I wish to begin our message today with two quotes by Mother Teresa. Here is the first quote: “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”(1) In her humanitarian efforts in Calcutta, Mother Teresa observed much rejection and hopeless, as ...read more

    You were born into the world, a crying baby, in a hospital most likely, with no knowledge of anything in the world around you. We are born in many ways a blank slate, however, we are born into a particular mindset, of self-interest.

    A New Year’s Examination

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024
     | 2,705 views

    With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

    It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

    The Fruit Of The Spirit

    Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Feb 15, 2025
     | 739 views

    The fruit of the Spirit, as described in the Bible, encompasses a set of virtues that reflect the character of God and are cultivated in believers through the Holy Spirit. These virtues include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

    Let's look at these virtues in-depth to determine how to cultivate them. Love is a commandment. John15:12 NKJV "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Christians are to love people the way Jesus loves us, not necessarily as they love us. Christians ...read more

    Divine Jealousy Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 6, 2025
     | 592 views

    If you want to keep from being deceived, follow only a leader, who, like a father, jealously guards your pure devotion to Christ, generously cares for you, and genuinely shows you his true self.

    Pastor John Ortberg asks us to imagine picking your car up from the shop after a routine tune-up, and the technician says, “This car is in great shape. Clearly you have an automotive genius to take great care of your car.” Later that day, your brakes fail. You find out you were out of brake fluid. ...read more

    24 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:3-5 - Message 24 – Who Do You Think You Are? Do Not Deceive Yourself – You Who Are A Balloon Of Hydrogen. Examine Your Work; Carry Your Own Load Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 3, 2025
     | 244 views

    We begin with an extra look at the inflated person, then consider the very important matter of bearing our own loads. Self-examination is necessary. We look at this problem of boasting and praise, and about examining your own work.

    Moses: From Contentment To Calling

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 197 views

    Self-help says “look within” for happiness; Scripture says contentment comes from being humbled by God and satisfied in Christ. In Moses we’ll see that contentment often precedes calling, stays active (not complacent), and resists complaining—because Christ is enough.

    Let me ask you a simple question, “Are you content?” I saw a self-help based article on the Internet that suggested contentment can be found by catching yourself thinking “life sucks,” and stopping such thinking. It continued that contentment is found by cultivating a thankfulness for “little ...read more

    The teachers of the law made three errors - they (1) Chose to stick with their self-centred agenda, blinded to that which is obvious; (2) Chose to remain uncommitted, preferring to sit on the fence and take a middle ground; and (3) Chose to believe m

    God did not leave us without any evidence that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. • The Gospels are full of recordings of His miraculous deeds and amazing claims. • In the face of evidence, man can still reject Him.

    based on 60 ratings
     | 9,702 views

    The Transfiguration is both about how God revealed himself through Jesus Christ as well as a story about Peter almost missing it because he would not stop blathering. This is is a call for self examination and repentance. Today is Superbowl Sunday.

    What Is God Asking You To Sacrafice?

    Contributed by Scott Hamilton on Jan 18, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,679 views

    Launches off the sacrafices in the Old Testament and asks the question, "Does God ask us to make sacrafices today?". The answer is yes - pride, ego, selfishness, etc. We’re to sacrafice our whole self - Romans 12.

    What is God asking you to sacrifice? If you were a Hebrew living 3000 years ago God would ask you to sacrifice very specific things in a very specific manner.

    All Christians can find renewed hope in times of disappointment by 1)keeping an eternal focus, 2)cast your anxiety upon the Lord, 3)be self-controlled and resist the devil, and 4)offer a sacrifice of praise.

    If there is anything I’ve learned in my years working as a pastor it is that things don’t always go the way we think they should go. I’ve been witness to more tragic stories than I wish – and the truth is, life is hard. God has chosen to use people just like us to be his ambassadors on this ...read more
