Sermons on Set In Stone:

Celebrating God Everyday

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more

New In Christ

Contributed by John Johnson on Oct 26, 2014

A high level of excitement sets in when you anticipate and then finally get something new. As I thought about getting something new, I wondered to myself how many of us get equally excited about obtaining a new life in Christ.

New In Christ (TLC 11/16/02) If you have your bibles, turn to 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Let me start off by saying that there are a lot of people that are trying to be new ...read more

Core 52 Week 5 - Holiness Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 2, 2020

Some things are set apart for specific uses and specific people. We “get it” instinctively that some things are not common. They’re special because of their purpose or perhaps an emotional attachment. That uniqueness, special regard is the idea behind the biblical concept of holiness.

Jewels Of Rules Series

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Jun 2, 2020

One of the first benefits we obtained in the Garden of Eden was life itself. But, even better... the promise of never dying, actually... as long as we followed one simple rule. See... God set into motion man's Free-Will...

It is a rare person who does not like benefits. The working we do, the toiling we face, and the utter anguish we endure are all resolved when benefits follow closely behind. You may know that ‘benefits‘ is generally described as, “something that is advantageous or good.” Sometimes, even having an ...read more

When Jesus Came To Church

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017

Mark records what happened when Jesus came to church. The normal order was interrupted, the people were amazed, the forces of evil were disturbed, and the oppressed were set free. The same thing should happen today when Jesus comes to Church!

WHEN JESUS CAME TO CHURCH Mk. 1:21-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FAITH BETTER THAN ATHEISM 1. I read about a rabbi who was sitting next to an atheist on an airplane. Every few minutes, one of the rabbi’s children or grandchildren would inquire about his needs for food, drink, or comfort. 2. The ...read more

A Godly Commitment Needed

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 20, 2017

This sermon is about making those commitments that are going to matter for all eternity. It deals with three major commitments we're asked to make entailing our will, finances, and agendas. It also talks about the barriers we set up to prevent commitment.

A Godly Commitment Needed Joshua 24:15 In 1519 Spanish explorer Cortez landed at Vera Cruz to begin his conquest of Mexico with only 700 men. Legend has it that before they set off into Mexico’s interior Cortez ordered the ships to be burned while his men watched their only means of retreat sink ...read more

Reflection D.5 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Revelation. The Four Horsemen.

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 12, 2020

When did the four horsemen in Revelation 6 set out? After Christ's ascension? In the future? Or, conceivably, in our time? Our view on this question makes a big difference to how we view 'End Times'.

At this point I feel as though I’m at a fork-in-the-road moment. We’re in Revelation 6. I have to keep reminding myself of why I am doing these Reflections. My goal is to ‘diagnose’ coronavirus. I am considering two possible ‘diagnoses.’ The first ‘diagnosis’ is that coronavirus is a random ...read more

Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say. Her mother sat in the front and tried to ...read more

Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Commitment Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021

We struggle with commitment in our world today. Marriages, for example, last as long as life is convenient. Commitment to God has dwindled as well. If we are going to make a difference in the world, and set our country right, we need a solid commitment to God.

Lack of commitment is something that runs rampant in our world today. People do not truly stand for anything or are even truly committed to anything. They are blown around like fall leaves in a windstorm, swirling around, going this way and that. (Chameleon Commitment By Neal Gracey Copied from ...read more

Conquering The Giants In Our Lives

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Feb 3, 2021

Like the ancient Israelites, we have been set free from the slavery of sin and now are heading to the Promised "Land." We face various "giants" of problems personally, in the family, and from society against biblical truth.

The Jews were staying in Egypt for 430 years. In the last two hundred years, they were enslaved by the Egyptians. God sent Moses to deliver them from slavery and entered the Promised Land. Before they entered it, in verses 1 and 2, God gave the command through Moses to send twelve men, one from ...read more

The Power Of Example Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Aug 9, 2024

Paul wrote letters to the young evangelists Timothy and Titus, giving them advice and encouragement that would develop their leadership and equip him for ministry. In those encouragements we can find today’s daily principle for discipleship: Set A Good Example for others.

Go Into The Light

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Mar 3, 2024

Christ is a beacon for all to set their compass, and reference for their journey home. We can also be beacons of light. We receive the fire of the Holy Spirit, and because of that, we can be one of the guiding lights that helps shepherd God’s children home.

Go Into the Light Do you remember the movie Poltergeist?

We Must Obey Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 23, 2023

The world is setting itself against the ways of God and persecution is headed our way. How do we prepare ourselves so we can stand firm in our faith. Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

Read text. Pray. Francis Chan has long been a favorite preacher/author of mine. Over the years he has shared many ideas that are very similar to those of our brotherhood. For instance, there’s a meme where he says, “If the Bible and I don’t agree, I must be wrong.” He has spoken of being ...read more

Sermon # 5 - God's Design For The Family Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 14, 2025

Marriage is God’s idea and God created Eve as a suitable helper for Adam. Only when couples understand the sanctity of marriage and abide by the guidelines that God has set for us will we have happy and healthy families that honor God and are a blessing to others.

We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God teaches us ...read more
