    A Shorter List; 30 Vs 2 Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,437 views

    In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us an overwhelming list of 30 encouragments. However, they can be slimmed down to just two overarching themes: self-sacrificial love and overcome evil with good. We also see how these things point us to Jesus.

    Our text from Romans this morning is quite challenging. Paul writes to encourage God’s people to live in their in the calling, but his words are overwhelming to us. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good. Love one another…be fervent in spirit…rejoice in hope, be ...read more

    The Trap Of Hypocrisy Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,528 views

    Essential King Jesus in this passage is: Jesus distastes hypocrisy. May we honestly and prayerfully self-examine and we make changes to stomp out the hypocrisy in our minds, emotions, and bodies. We are not perfect, but on purpose hypocrisy has no place in our walk with Jesus.

    Memorial Sunday Air Force Core Values

    The Air Force core values---though leaders would say did not come from the Biblical tradition, but I would argue the core vales do come directly from the Bible, Integrity 1st, Service before self and Excellence in all we do.

    Standing Firm In The Last Days

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025
     | 815 views

    Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

    “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Go! And Live A Holy Life Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 787 views

    The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. The sacrifice of Christ demands a response: a life set apart for Him. But what does holiness mean, and how do we live it out daily?

    Go! And Live a Holy Life Introduction: The Christian life is a call to holiness. In a world that promotes self-indulgence, compromise, and sin, God calls us to live differently. 2 Corinthians 5:15 (NLT) declares: "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer ...read more

    The Exchanged Life

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 22, 2025
     | 395 views

    This sermon on Galatians 2:20 presents the "exchanged life" as the Christian's declaration of independence from self, where the old identity is considered crucified with Christ and a new life is lived by the faith of the Son of God, motivated by His personal love and sacrifice.

    Introduction: A Declaration of Spiritual Independence In our world today, the prevailing message is one of self-actualization. "Find yourself," the world cries. "Be true to yourself." "Follow your heart." We are encouraged from every corner to build our own identity, ...read more

    Lifestyle Of Humility

     | 263 views

    Godly humility, a theme woven deeply into the fabric of Scripture, represents a fundamental aspect of the Christian life. Unlike worldly humility, which often centers on self-deprecation or false modesty, godly humility is rooted in acknowledging God's sovereignty and our dependence on Him.

    Moses: From Contentment To Calling

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 239 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

    It is only through ignorance of self that others can humiliate, intimidate, control, and erase us however when you understand that the same DNA that ran through the veins of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob runs through yours, that you are a recipient of the Divine Promise, that you have an inheritance.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 12 – Cruel Slaughter Because Of Sin – A Distraught Prophet – Faces Harder Than Rock - Chapter 2:21-22 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 22, 2025
     | 328 views

    Jeremiah looked at a scene of pathos – so many killed. He sees the LORD responsible for that but knew it was the unrepentant people’s fault. God was in great sadness over what happened to these people with faces harder than rock who did not repent.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 12 – CRUEL SLAUGHTER BECAUSE OF SIN – A DISTRAUGHT PROPHET – FACES HARDER THAN ROCK - CHAPTER 2:21-22 In the last message Jeremiah was lamenting the sad and horrifying condition of his people, and asking the LORD why He had done that.

    A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 829 views

    Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

    A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more

     | 22,775 views

    There are those who declare that you can tell if you have the Spirit by some miraculous behavior on your part. But, Paul writes that you need to gauge God’s Spirit in a different way.
