    Title: Enough is Enough! Text: I Kings 17:8-16 (17-24) Thesis: We can trust God for enough. How much is enough?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,445 views

    There are things we don't like talking about. Like, sex with our kids and money with our congregation. We might also add to that list death, hell and money. But even when we don't like talking about it we must preach the whole counsel of God.

    Introduction – Fire Alarms and the Conscience Many electronic fire alarms have an internal switch triggered by a beam of light. As long as light is received unbroken by the photo-sensitive receiver, the detector is quiet. But if smoke or moisture or an insect obstructs the beam for even a ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 30, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,110 views

    Refusing to unite with a church because of the presence of hypocrites reveals abject ignorance of Christ and His people.

    “When you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is ...read more

  • Sexual Holiness Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,810 views

    God calls us to be holy with our bodies.

    3 for it is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should ...read more

     | 5,526 views

    If we do not heed to Paul's warnings by alluding to the poor examples set by Israel and straighten our path, we are walking on very thin ice.

    Opening illustration: Commercial aircraft carry two flight-data recorders called “black boxes.” One logs the performance and condition of the aircraft in flight, and the other records the conversation of the crew with air-traffic controllers on the ground.

  • Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 14,143 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,659 views

    God says that we are to be holy even as He is Holy, but how? Doesn't holiness mean perfection? And none of us are perfect! In this sermon study we will learn that holiness means sacred and separated or dedicated to God.

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration/Story/Quote/Statistic- Several years ago my wife and I volunteered along with some helpers from the church to go clean the house of a family in need. I'd never been in a house like this before. There was so much stuff, you could barely see the floor. Roaches filled ...read more

    We are to be a light shining in a dark place.

    WHEN OUR DAUGHTER was in Junior High, she became friends with some girls who lived in a little town about an hour’s drive from here. On occasion, these girls would invite her to an activity at their church or their school or even ask her to come to their house. So, I would drive her there, come ...read more

  • Godly Generation Dies Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,354 views

    The older generation failed to teach the younger generation God’s truth as Moses had commanded them (Deut. 6:1–9 ). It is bad enough that they forgot Joshua, their second greatest leader, but how could they forget the Lord?

    Chapter 9 Godly Generation Dies [Judges 2.6-10] Scripture 6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, ...read more

    Question: • What do I expect from the Lord today? • Are my personal needs more important that my willingness to praise and bless the name of the Lord?

    THE MOVE OF GOD Text: II Kings 4:8 thru 17 (NIV) Review of this morning: 1. Elisha was a man of God who represents for us the Move of God, or the Presence of God that passes by in our daily lives. If you look closely, you can often see God coming from the distance. But you need to be ...read more

     | 1,349 views

    The day of the Lord is indeed near. For us, every day is his.

    Have you ever fantasized about living in some other time in history? What is it about that period that appeals to you? People have often tended to look back at earlier, simpler days with a sort of nostalgia, longing for a time when the mail held nothing worse than unsolicited requests for money or ...read more

    Contributed by Les Buttolph on Nov 14, 2024
     | 857 views

    As Election Day 2024 approaches, we face worldly decisions. Joshua confronted Israel with the spiritual decision to serve the Lord. Like Israel, we must choose wisely.

    I doubt there’s anyone here that doesn’t know Tuesday is Election Day. You may have already voted early. We can look forward to Tuesday’s TV or radio news coverage about the voting turnout, and the partial results all day, then into the night when the results are projected and winners announced. ...read more
