Sermons on Servant Songs:

"a New Attitude"

Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 28, 2020

It is a fact that the God of the universe loved us so much that one day he stepped out of heaven, taking on the very nature of a servant, made in the likeness of man and started the journey toward his death on the cross.

“A New Attitude” Philippians 2:5-11 The story is told of a young girl who was playing outside on the sidewall when she noticed a long line of ants crawling across, from one side of the sidewalk to the other. The ants got to the other side, one by one they fell off to the ground. So she ran inside ...read more

The Ministry Of Angels Series

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jul 3, 2021

Was Jesus Punished By God Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Jun 11, 2024

The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer but that this suffering would be viewed by the people as punishment by God. Yes, Jesus suffered; yes, it was God’s will to have him stricken and afflicted but it was not some sort of punishment.

The prophet Isaiah wrote that the suffering servant would suffer but that this suffering would be viewed by the people as punishment by God. The Bible does show in this very chapter that “it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer”, and Jesus himself went to the cross after He had ...read more

God Bless America!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 15, 2001

The song says, “God bless America, land that I love…” I’m convinced that God has blessed America. But the Bible teaches that to whom much is given, much is expected. If so, then God must expect a lot from America.

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK REVISED - 2015) This Wednesday will be Veterans’ Day. As that day dawns, will you pause to think about what it signifies: the men & women who offered themselves in service to their country - & those who made the ultimate sacrifice so ...read more

The Missions Psalm Series

Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Mar 19, 2002

Here in Psalm 67 we find the purpose of God’s blessing. This purpose, for all the peoples to know salvation, is what makes Psalm 67 one of the foundational scriptures as the Biblical basis of Missions. Psalm 67 is a glorious Missions song.

When I served as Assistant Pastor of the Baptist Church, in Scotland, one of the first things I wanted to do was memorize Numbers 6:24- 26. Why the priority to memorize Numbers 6? This is because our Pastor would repeat this scripture as the benediction, at the close of every service. I knew, as ...read more

Repent Or... What???

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 30, 2008

Repentance is part of the salvation song of God’s people. God has graciously left the door open for us to come home. But to get back we must turn back and continue to make corrective adjustments in our walk with the Lord.

Luke 13:1-9 Consider a few verses that speak of the call and gift of repentance: Isa 30:15 This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.

Change

Contributed by James Kirkland on Nov 8, 2010

We sing “Change My Heart O God”, but do you really mean it? Or is this change just for a moment, just for this song, because we really don’t want our life to change.

Acts 17:16-34 (NLT) Change We just had a mid-term election; we have change in our future. At least that’s what we voted for. We the people, we the people, are tired of the same ol’ thing, time after time. They all say, more water, less taxes and put the rights of the people back into ...read more

Ashamed Of Jesus?

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 9, 2017

In 1765, Joseph Grigg (1720-1768) of England wrote the wonderful words of the song "Jesus and Shall It Ever Be," which proposes several answers to the question, "Ashamed of Jesus?" The answers are various ways of saying "I will never be ashamed of him!"

Ashamed of Jesus? Things have changed much in this country in the last 40 years. I now find myself surprised when I hear the name of Jesus mentioned in a public setting. Not only have judges handed out rulings that restrict the mention and exhibition of things pertaining to the Christian faith, ...read more

The Cleft Of The Rock

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017

The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more
