Sermons on Sinful World:

Give Us A King

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

Are We To Blame? Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 22, 2001

Is the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on America punishment for our sinfulness or a wake up call for us to examine our hearts?

ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE SAID, "I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN MANY TIMES TO MY KNEES BY THE OVERWHELMING CONVICTION THAT I HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. MY OWN WISDOM, AND THAT OF ALL ABOUT ME SEEMED INSUFFICIENT FOR THE DAY." IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT THE SEPTEMBER 11TH TERRORIST ATTACKS ON AMERICA HAVE GIVEN OUR ...read more

Getting Tripped Up By The Flesh Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 19, 2007

The three things that trip up Christians after major victories for the Lord are arrogance, independence, and giving into the flesh. Learn how we can actually become our own worst enemy and how to stop it!

The two greatest enemies to living a victorious life in Jesus Christ are the world and the flesh. While the world presents itself as an impenetrable walled city, the flesh appears much more subtly: as just a few small baubles, a little temptation here and there that surely can’t hurt anything. Our ...read more

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 15, 2012

A holy life lived to the glory of God attracts outsiders to ask, "What must I do to be saved?"

“What must I do to be saved?” [1] I fear many vital, even essential words are disappearing from common usage today. Society as a whole is becoming linguistically impoverished. Some words have been misappropriated; they will never be returned to their proper place in English vocabulary. “Gay,” ...read more

How Can A Loving God Send People To Hell? Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

Does the doctrine of Hell deny a loving God? If Hell is real what should our response be?

This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful.

A Remedy For Wretchedness

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 28, 2015

Paul desperately wants to be delivered from the influence of indwelling sin. He struggles, as do we all, with his corrupt nature. Through Christ we overcome and make progress...yet the more we grow, the more in touch we are with our faults.

Do you ever feel like a hopeless mess? The Apostle Paul sure did. In Romans 7 he berates himself for his shortcomings: “What a wretched man I am!” Paul's problem was a serious condition. Sin enslaves; it takes over. Jeremiah writes that the human heart is “desperately ...read more
