Sermons on Spiritual Firmness:

Stand Firm And Hold Fast Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 4, 2024

The news and letters that were causing the alarm for the church at Thessalonica was that they missed Jesus coming again. But Paul is giving them something solid they can hear and read that will counter all the misinformation.

Have you read something or heard something that really alarmed you? Does everything going on around you these days make you unsettled? Probably you have been alarmed and unsettled. It is that way now, and it was the case for the Christians in first century Thessalonica. Paul is writing them in the ...read more

Stand Firm And Work Hard Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 16, 2022

'Stand firm and work hard' might seem a very strange Easter message. But it's Paul's key message in 1 Corinthians 15 - the longest passage on the resurrection in the Bible. The resurrection gives us hope - and that hope gives us reason to stand firm and work hard.

Easter Sunday is the day when we celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from death. When I say WE celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead, I mean, WE IN THIS CHURCH celebrate it. Clearly, a lot of other people DON'T celebrate it. A few years ago the Daily Telegraph conducted ...read more

Standing Firm In The Last Days

Contributed by Ronald Moore on Feb 7, 2025

Paul describes a society that has turned away from God, where people are consumed with self-interest, greed, pride, and ungodliness. His words sound eerily familiar, as if they were written for our own time. But they also contain guidance and encouragement for us as faithful Christians.

“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

Spirituality Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Spirituality is where fear and faith collide. Escaping the trap of spirituality means admitting our limitations, recognizing the call and walking in obedience in spite of our fear.

We continue our series of “Escape” by looking at another area that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming and rising offer us. The last few weeks we have spoken about escaping bad decisions, the shame/guilt that accompanies them and even trading religion for relationships. This week ...read more

Spiritual Armor For Spiritual War

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Sep 27, 2001
