    The Good Example Of A Crook

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 28, 2013
     | 6,656 views

    Sadly, Christians are some of the most gullible, naïve folks around. Almost every week you read another story about how some trusting Christian was bamboozled by a scam where he gave away his life’s savings in some “sure-fire investment.”

    The Day Jesus Wept Series

    Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?

    OPEN: Back in March of 2008, the mayor of a city in SW France had a problem. It seems his village was running out of space. Not in housing, nor in the retail district, nor even at City Hall. It seems they were running out of space… in the cemetery. There was no room for any more graves. It was ...read more

    A King? On A Donkey?

    Why does the story of Palm Sunday begin with Jesus on a donkey? Prophecy fulfilled. A living parable. Corrie Ten Boom said: Eveyone one singing. Waving palm branches... do you think for a moment the donkey thought it was for him? Let me be the donkey on which Jesus rides in His glory.

    In Jesus Holy Name April 5, 2020 Text: John 12:13-15 Palm Sunday Redeemer “A King? On a Donkey? The Romans Laughed” Palm Sunday and Holy Week has arrived to find each of us “sheltering in”. Unexpected. I did not expect to be sharing these two great events by video, in ...read more

    Do you remember the story about The Three Little Pigs? The first little pig built his house out of straw. The second little pig built his house out of sticks. And the third little pig worked hard and labored diligently as he built his house out of brick.

    What would things look like if Satan really took control of a city? If Satan took over a city, all the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and the city streets would be pristine with people who smiled at one another. There would be no swearing.

    "it's Not Fair!" (Part Two) Series

     | 7,868 views

    Last week I stated the series on the places in the bible where it seems as if God wasn't being fair. We looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. Then we looked at the story of Job. Let's look at two more examples.

    "IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part two) Last week I stated the series on the places in the bible where it seems as if God wasn't being fair. We see it started right from the beginning with Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. On the surface that seems ...read more

    The Door To Hope Series

    Sin can sometimes pounce upon you and destroy you in one fell swoop … or it can quietly, silently eat away at your heart and soul. Achan's story in Joshua 7 can show us what happens when we try to hide or bury our sin.

    We’ve all heard the question: “How do you boil a frog?” And the answer is: “One degree at a time.” Now … scientifically, it turns out that that’s not true. When the water gets hot enough, the frog will jump out of the water. How do you destroy a person’s soul? Answer: One sin at a ...read more

    "i Do Believe; Help Me Overcome My Unbelief!"

    Today we'll be looking at the story of Jesus casting an evil spirit out of a man's son. The sermon title is what the father said to Jesus. If we're honest with ourselves, we could say the same thing. We believe, but sometimes we struggle with unbelief.

    “I DO BELIEVE; HELP ME OVERCOME MY UNBELIEF!” Mark 9:14-29 Today we'll be looking at the story of Jesus casting an evil spirit out of a man's son. The sermon title is what the man said to Jesus after he was questioned about whether or not he believed Jesus could help his son. Although this ...read more

    Fear God?

    As is often the case with military veterans who have endured actual combat, conversations eventually circle around to war stories and then on to; “Were you scared?” Those who saw actual combat often reply, “Only the foolish are not afraid.” Fear can be friend or foe! Fear is our warning system.

    The Christmas story is one of love, grace, mercy and blessing. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, born of a virgin, laid in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, declared by angels and a new star as being born. Jesus Christ is born! The Gospel has come at last!

    Before I get into this message today, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read the sermons God has laid on my heart to share with all of you all over the world. God has opened this door to me and has sent me here to preach His Gospel to all the world. Thank you for taking the time to ...read more

    The Wise And Foolish Man Series

    We have all sang the song, and we all know this story, but we can still learn something new from Jesus today when we hear Him speak to us about how the wise and foolish man built their houses on the rock and the sand...and how this impacts their foundations...

    So, a few weeks ago we started a new sermon series called the Sermon on the mount. I love this series because we honestly get to see Jesus’ ministry at it’s core…we see Him speaking to His followers, His people, and we hear exactly what He is all about…we also get a glimpse into the type of teacher ...read more

    This sermon is going to review the story of the children of Israel at the Red Sea in order to show that while many battles in life cannot be won through our own effort, God is more than capable and willing to secure our victory if only we would stand still and let Him fight for us!

    Anybody Can Become Somebody In God's Hand

    The story of Joseph proves that everyone has a shot at being someone great - at starting all over when in God's Hand. And one thing I do not understand is just how God does it. How He takes the low-borns and makes them heroes? Relax in God's hands, folks.

    Losing Our Unction Series

    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 19, 2019
     | 3,796 views

    One of Satan’s aims is to trip up God’s child so that we lose our power (unction), witness, etc… To illustrate this point Paul presents an O.T. study. It’s the story of God’s own nation. They serve as an example (warning) (v.6, 11).

    LOSING OUR UNCTION I CORINTHIANS 10:1-13 INTRODUCTION: “Unction” = anointing. Fervency in speaking or behaving. Persuasion. See 9:27. What was Paul fearful of? Not losing his salvation, but his unction = divine authority/power/persuasion/influence! If that left him he would have nothing ...read more
