    Jesus will meet us at what ever level our love and commitment. It is time for us to hit the stop button and to get off of the "Guilt" Merry-Go-Round. It is time to move forward in the faith and to be conformed into the image of Christ.

    Simon the sorcerer is an illustration of Counterfeit Christianity or false faith. It begins with a false self perception, and foolish pride. Trying to show folks that the rituals we use in the church do not save, instead it is the life changing presence

     | 9,290 views

    God has always blessed men and women of faith. He still does today. However, God will take a people and His church as far as their faith will take them.

    THE EFFECTS OF FAITH A. FEAR is certainly prevalent in our society. 1. Saturday, a week ago, our nation marked the third anniversary of 9/11. a. Although we heard the word "TERRORISM" in newscasts and read about in newspapers, it was something that did not affect America only other ...read more

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 1, 2014
    based on 46 ratings
     | 30,986 views

    The Pharisees of Jesus' day died long ago. But their spirit lives on in congregations across the land. How can we recognize if we have become like the Pharisees, and what did Jesus teach us about what we need to know to avoid becoming like those men?

    (Before reading the text I noted that the stories in this section of Mark detailed the conflict between Jesus and a religious group known as the Pharisees… and I emphasized the word "Pharisees" as I read through the text) OPEN: Back in the 1980’s, the Minnesota Twins had this ...read more

    A sermon on Nehemiah 12 on characteristics of a great celebration (worship service). Must have preparation and participation!

    Sermon for 2/18/2007 Introduction: A. Gordon Dahl said, “Most middle-class Americans tend to worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.” B. Worship really isn’t a fair word for what we do here on Sunday mornings. It is more like a celebration. Jesus Christ has risen and ...read more

     | 9,577 views

    Same-sex attraction and homosexual lifestyles - hardly mentioned in public a few years ago - are mentioned daily in news, entertainment, and other venues. Public acceptance is on the rise. How is the Christian to respond to this development?

    Homosexuality and the Christian I. Introducton Read the story of Lot in Sodom (Genesis 19:1-11) God destroyed Sodom because of its utter sinfulness. Clearly, theirs was homosexual sin. When I was coming of age in the 1950’s, I was barely aware such a thing as homosexuality existed. I naively ...read more

  • Layers Of An Onion

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,641 views

    I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

    Have any of you tried a fried blooming onion? They taste great. If you haven’t had one - they cut open a sweet Vidalia onion and dip it in batter and deep fry it and all the layers spread out. You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more

  • Unexpected Converts

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 26, 2000
    based on 66 ratings
     | 15,595 views

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Dec 25, 2018
     | 6,755 views

    This is my Christmas 2018 message. It's about having an intimate relationship with Jesus versus having a superficial relationship with Him.

    The Gift Is In The Box Scriptures: Prov. 20:11; John 3:16; 1 Cor. 13:11; Luke 7:36-50 In 2017 I did a series entitled “It’s Time to Grow Up.” In that series I shared with you the differences between a mature Christian and one that is not mature.
