    Take Up Your Cross

    As people run headlong into a world going nowhere, escaping reality in their hedonistic lifestyles, are we ashamed of Jesus and His words? Are we ashamed of suffering as Christians? Let’s look at Jesus’ countercultural instructions in Mark 8:31-38.

    Prelude As people run headlong into a world going nowhere, escaping reality in their hedonistic lifestyles, are we ashamed of Jesus and His words? Are we ashamed of suffering as Christians? Purpose Let’s see the value of taking up our cross and denying ourselves. Plan Let’s look at Jesus’ ...read more

    It is an act not of juggling balls on a stage, but of carrying eggs from a barn.

    A yoke is a wooden frame fitted on working animals to evenly balance the load on each individual animal and allow them to work as a team. Jesus wears the yoke and we are yoked to him. A teacher read to her class the text, “My yoke is easy.” “Who can tell me what a yoke is?” she asked. A boy ...read more

    The Kingdom Is The Lord’s

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

    The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have. What we need to make sure of, however, is that our enemies are the same as God’s enemies, and ...read more

    We are shocked and horrified, but we are no longer surprised.

    Palm Sunday 1964 Growing up in the 1950s and sixties, and going to Catholic schools, our Boomer generation hardly ever heard of things that are common today, and nobody knew that the Rockefeller foundation was funding researchers to reduce the Catholic population by finding a “Catholic ...read more

    Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

    How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb? Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered a Dr Pepper and they say they don't sell Dr Pepper but they have Mr Pibb and try to pass it off as the same ...read more

    Focus On The Good Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 422 views

    Our thoughts can either bring us down or lift us up. Focusing on the negatives makes it hard to see the positives. We need to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

    Today we're going to talk about focus. You know, like when your teacher tells you to stop daydreaming and pay attention in class. But we're not talking about algebra or history, we're talking about life and our relationship with God. Let's be real, there's a lot of stuff out there trying to grab ...read more

    Healthy And Unhealthy Fear Youth Sermon

    God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline. We can overcome unhealthy fear by relying on the Holy Spirit's power, focusing on God's love, and developing self-discipline.

    Ever been scared out of your wits? Like, heart-pounding, palms-sweating scared? Did you know the phrase 'fear not' pops up 365 times in the Bible? That's one for every day of the year! God doesn't want us living in fear, so let's figure out how to kick it to the curb. Let's start with this: In 2 ...read more

    Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance, when Christians confess their sins and promise to follow God. It is a time to reflect, repent, and pray as we look ahead to Easter Sunday.

    Hey guys, have you ever thought about what you're made of? No, not your muscles or bones, but what you're really made of. According to the Bible, we're made of dust. Yeah, you heard it right, dust! And one day, we'll return to dust. That's what Ash Wednesday is all about. It's a day when we ...read more

    In the previous sermon we looked at Romans 8:1-4, and we learned some marvelous things about our new position in Christ Jesus.

    We learned that while we ALL were once IN ADAM, something happened when heard of salvation in Jesus: • We recognized how dreadful our sins were, and repented of them and trusted in Christ • We were immediately justified by the blood of Christ And now we are no longer IN ADAM, but we are IN CHRIST. ...read more

    Love builds up society and the ultimate goal is the common good of all.

    The ultimate goal of a society is the common good of the individuals in that society. However, we are living in a society whereby self-interest is now considered as the new normal. People of today have various definitions and reasons for loving, including you and myself. Some normally show concern ...read more

    None of us are as alone as we might imagine. We can draw strength from the fact that the LORD has not deserted us. We are never alone.

    THE CAVE OF DOUBT AND THE CALL OF DUTY. 1 Kings 19:9-18. While Obadiah was hiding others in a cave (cf. 1 Kings 18:3-4), Elijah hid himself in a cave. I. THE CAVE OF DOUBT (1 Kings 19:9-14). Why are YOU here? Indignant self-righteousness. Wind, earthquake, and fire - and a thin, ...read more

     | 861 views

    The reward of knowing the mind of God, the reward of living in the will of God, is freedom. Fear of people keeps us imprisoned; fear of God sets us free.

    At the Alpha conference I went to a few weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with a colleague on the more liberal end of our denominational spectrum. It was particularly interesting in that the Alpha program is for evangelism, and I was surprised to see someone on the other end ...read more

    Sin desires to destroy. We must rule over sin.

    SIN CROUCHES AT OUR DOOR (Outline) July 16, 2023 – Pentecost 7 – GENESIS 4:3-12 INTRO.: In the middle of our text today our theme jumps out at us. “…sin is crouching at the door…” The Lord God warns believers about the danger of sin.

    We are always trying to blame our sin on something else - on someone else, on society, on circumstances. But Jesus says that what makes us sin is part of ourselves.

    I stopped watching TV news three or four years ago. But you have to know what's going on, somehow, so there are a few sources I've come to trust. But guess what? They're just as depressing as TV news. Because what is actually happening is worse than what you might imagine if you stayed ...read more

    The Smiths

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more
