Sermons on Sinner In The Water:

Avoid Harmful Relationships.

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 10, 2024

The Bible doesn't ask us to seek out perfect people, but rather to build relationships with fellow sinners who have experienced God's transformative love. At the same time, Scripture does provide guidance on setting boundaries and being mindful of the company we keep.

2 Timothy 2:22, is a great example of this balance. It encourages us to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, while also seeking out relationships with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. This reminds us to prioritize relationships that promote ...read more

This last sermon draws it all together and we stand in awe at all that the Lord has done in addressing ALL the consequences of Adam’s sin. Then He has restored what Adam could never have had in full grace and mercy to the sinner. I have loved doing this series and hope you do also.

The Four "Ifs” 1 John 1 V 7-10 - God’s Forgiveness Is Cleansing And Peace Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022

When a Christian sins, there is usually a barb of conviction that enters the soul, an awareness of guilt that clouds the person’s spirit and life. A Christian is a new creation with a new awareness and new values. This precious passage deals with confession of sin and restoration.

The Fool Who Says, ‘there Is No God’ — And The Grace That Says, ‘come Home’ — Psalm 14:1 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 4, 2025

Every age has its fools — not because people lack intelligence, but because they reject truth. We live in a world where humanity believes it has outgrown God — yet moral decay, despair, and violence reveal that something has gone terribly wrong.

Test 4: The Tongue Test Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007

Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

Contributed by Tony Abram on May 2, 2010

Prayers are made all day long all over the world by all religions and even in hell, remember the rich man prayed in Luke 16 that Abraham would send the poor beggar to give him one drop of water. Most of all these prayers or perhaps none are ever answered.

HOW TO PRAY THE PRAYER OF FAITH Romans 8:14-171 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness ...read more

Don't Stay In The Boat

Contributed by Russell Lackey on Aug 10, 2014

It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

The Passion Of Fire

Contributed by Dale Carter Sr. on Jun 5, 2020

The Fire of passion will ward off the wolves in sheep clothing. The fires of passion will let you lay down and find rest and peace which the Psalmist described as green pastures and still waters and arise refreshed ready to take up your cross and follow the Great Shepard, Jesus Christ.

God Is Love, And We Are Not

Contributed by Randall Long on May 30, 2019

A lot of us go through life with a watered-down idea of what God's love is. We will look at two incidents from the Gospel of Luke in which someone met that love face to face to help us understand both His love and His holiness.

There is a saying that appears a few times in the Old Testament. Proverbs 9:10 puts it like this: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Other verses use slightly different wording, but they all declare the value of the "fear of the LORD". I was troubled by that ...read more

The Ten Commandments Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 18, 2021

When you appear before a holy God, you would no more approach Him than you would walk into shark-infested waters. When God appears in front of you and you tremble in awestruck fear, it is a wise thing to call for a mediator to stand between you and He.

Today we begin a new series entitled simply, The Ten Commandments. Today’s Scripture And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for ...read more
