A Fan, A Follower, Or A Fraud

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Feb 5, 2008

This was a Super Sunday message. Although at the last minute changed this quite a bit, I believe this will stir your thoughts. The audio will be available shortly. This also contains my LOVE presentation.

A Fan, A Follower, or A Fraud Matthew 4:18-22 * In 2007 over 100 million people watched the Super Bowl.

Would You Be Blind? Series

Contributed by Joe Friend on Feb 6, 2008

The message today might seem a bit harsh but Jesus spoke and we have to preach it. I admit I am more comfortable whispering repentance and shouting grace.

TEXT; MATTHEW 5:27-32 TITLE: “Would You Be Blind” INTRODUCTION: Most Sundays I am excited to preach. I’m usually fired up to prepare a message and present it. I have to admit that it’s not really the case today. The passage we’re going to study this morning is a tough and controversial ...read more

Contributed by David Smith on Feb 26, 2008

Following Jesus: It’s long hours, hard work, costly, and a little bit crazy, but would we ever consider changing positions and serving someone else? Not a chance! ...

I thought that I finally had a totally positive sermon for you today! I’ve been under rather trenchant criticism of late for repeatedly giving sermons focused on the theme of judgement and on the hard path of discipleship, and I admit that I have been looking for that text, "Come to me, all ye who ...read more

The King Who Turned White Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 4, 2011

What's wrong with a little pride? Apparently quite a bit. Learn the effect pride had on King Uzziah, on you... and perhaps the influence it had one of the great prophets of the Old Testament.

Hurry Up And Wait Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 20, 2021

The three points of this sermon and a good bit of the content is borrowed from a sermon by Ray Pritchard (see the resources at the end of the sermon). The key to facing hard times is learning to wait on the Lord.

Introduction: A. Once there was a boy who asked a girl to go to the school formal dance. 1. She agreed, and he decided to rent a tuxedo, but the rental store had a long line, so he waited and waited, and finally he got his suit. 2.

Into The Storm Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 29, 2020

This morning, we are going to see a prophet try to run away from God. And we will see God pursue Jonah with a storm. At the end of this section, the story gets a bit fishy.

How To Enter God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 15, 2023

An easy-to-read parable, but with the most powerful of meanings. It’s a bit scary in times but it clearly outlines our purpose in life, and the consequences; encouraging others to follow Jesus.

Introduction: Years ago, I was introduced and became fascinated with the topics on the kingdom of heaven, however if I was to introduce or even describe this kingdom, I would not use this morning reading to do so, because although this reading appears relatively easy to follow, it is rather ...read more

Knocked Down But Not Knocked Out

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Mar 31, 2025

Nobody will get through this life without taking a few hits. The Bible says that a just man falleth 7 times, but he riseth again. Somebody is making a come-back today.

A Christmas Tree In Bethlehem Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 19, 2010

God planted a Christmas tree in Bethlehem. But it was a differnent kind of tree than the one folks often decorate and place in their homes for Christmas.

But he didn’t. His was a two story dwelling that was only 30 feet tall. So, did he just put the tree ...read more

God Is Not The Author Of Confusion

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 5, 2022

All of us have driven through neighborhoods and noticed that many of the houses are built with carports - some even with double carports - to park their cars out of the bad weather.

In many of these homes, from the street you see the garage doors are open, and you immediately come to the conclusion there is no way they could park a car in there because they are filled with what looks like junk. It is even dangerous to walk into some of these carports because you might get ...read more
