The Single Saint Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 17, 2021

The major theme of social questions has always been, and will always be, how do I relate to the opposite sex. You cannot escape these issues, for they are like the air we breathe, and are everywhere present.

John Woolman, the Quaker, demonstrated the power of the question to change lives. In the 18th century many of the wealthy Quakers were slave holders. He was convinced this was inconsistent with Christian compassion, and he vowed he would rid the Quakers of this terrible blight. His strategy was ...read more

The Danger Of Disrespecting Church Leadership

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 14, 2025

It's All Edge

Contributed by Brian Buriff on Jun 14, 2006

The Bible – a two-edged sword – has no dull edges (never dull or boring). It cuts in every direction (left & right politically; up & down socially; in & out spiritually) and can slice to the depths of any soul.

Making A Name For Ourselves

Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jul 10, 2007

It is natural, when living in the flesh, for people to want to make a name for themselves. We want to “stand out” among our peers: academically, socially, behaviorally, athletically, etc. Christianity, however, teaches just the opposite.

Making a Name for Ourselves Theme: Whose name are we trying to promote: ours, or God’s? INTRODUCTION A. It is natural, when living in the flesh, for people to want to make a name for themselves. 1.

Called To Be Rebels Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on Jan 16, 2006

Looking at Jesus’ Temple cleansing, we can see He was a social revolutionary and a rebel against the culture, even the religious culture. This sermon calls people to rebel as well, as long as they’re obeying God.

Poverty Is A Result Of Laziness (Part 1 Of Rich Man Poor Man In Proverbs) Series

Contributed by Henry Trocino Jr. on Mar 27, 2017

The book of Proverbs is not a book of finances. Rather, Proverbs is about wealth and want in light of the social reality of Proverbs. It makes us rethink the tribulations of poverty and, yes, even the troubles of prosperity (Prov. 15:16).

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man" (Prov. 6:10-11). The context of this sub-section is laziness. Solomon tells the lazy person to look to the ant (Prov. 6:6). The ant has no boss ...read more
