    Purity In Our Opposite-Sex Relationships Series

    Contributed by Vince Miller on Dec 30, 2018
     | 4,028 views

    Why our conduct with women matters today, and God's standard for what men call "locker room talk."

    “The proof of spiritual maturity is not how pure you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace.” Philip Yancey “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.” 1 ...read more

    Was Paul A Good Preacher?

    Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020
     | 3,106 views

    Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

    Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

    People are inundated with enough mess without having Christianity or a so-called form of it piling more complex standards, rituals, and obligations upon them.

    The Simplicity of Christ By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- When we look around and see the asinine events that are taking place we realize our world of today is in utter turmoil as people strive for preeminence and superior individuality, we can quickly become overwhelmed with all the ...read more

    Explores Jesus Christ as our standard, source, and sacrifice of love, urging us to live out genuine, selfless love in our daily lives.

    Good morning, beloved family of God. Isn't it a joy to gather together as one body, united in our love for Christ and for each other? We are here, not because of our own merits, but because of Christ's love for us. A love so profound, so all-encompassing, that it transformed us from sinners into ...read more

    The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,310 views

    One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

    When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more

    based on 13 ratings
     | 3,267 views

    This message looks at what we really mean when we say, "He’s a good person" and what the Biblical standard is to be able to say that.

    1. Our Belief: “I’m a good person.” 2. Some Examples Of God’s Standards: a. It’s a blot on our record every time we get angry at a friend without cause. - Matthew 5:21-22. - We’ll say, “Well, at least I’m not a murderer,” but here we see that we’re in danger of judgment for our unjustified ...read more

    ARE YOU FULLY EQUIPPED FOR LIFE? IF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT READ AND APPLIED DAILY, YOU ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO LIVE LIFE. THE BIBLE IS OUR PERFECT STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIFE.

    Fully Equipped Text: 2nd Timothy 3:14-17 Introduction. I’d like to tell you a story about a little 9 year-old boy by the name of “Joey”.

    God sets the standard for GOODNESS ... He turns badness into GOODNESS. It’s God’s nature to be good. We can trust in the GOODNESS of God.

I learned this from childhood. 1.- When I was just a child, my mother taught me a prayer to say at mealtime: “God is great, God is GOOD, let us thank Him for our food. By His hands we all are fed.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,300 views

    In a culture where the lines of right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, how and who determines what is the standard for what is true and what is false?

    Have you ever noticed how criticism can be a way of life? In fact, we might say that it is the democratic way of life and an integral part of our society. We have music critics, art critics, drama critics and movies critics. Politicians, athletes, teachers and preachers are critiqued. We critique ...read more

    A good life involves having 1) the right attitude, 2) have the right response, 3) have the right standard, and 4) have the right incentive.

    VBS this week: joy of children celebrating realities of God, it becomes obvious how we often learn ways of casting off Joy and losing focus. This morning, given our locale of worship, I want to change our usual format to focus on the nature of a good life in 1 Pt 3:8-12 in having 1) the right ...read more

    When we fail to keep his perfect standards perfectly, our failures remind us that Jesus, the cross and the empty tomb is our only hope.

    The Gospel passage from Mark 10:2-16 appears at first glance to be two unrelated stories, but there is a connection between the two of them. Both stories tell us how Jesus cares for the outcasts and the less fortunate in society and how he expects us to treat them. In Old Testament times, ...read more
