    Peace On Earth?

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022
     | 2,233 views

    Peace is not the absence of war or strife but the presence of God. Peace comes through personally knowing the person, that person is the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Today, the sermon topic is “Peace on Earth?” The biblical meaning of peace or “shalom” means far more than the absence of war or conflict. Shalom speaks of wholeness, completeness, of well-being, tranquility, prosperity, and security. Rabbinical texts speak of achieving peace on a social level, the ...read more

    What a difference can one day make. Seems some have compassion and make memories that will last through eternity. We need to bring the light into the dark rooms.

    THE DARK ROOMS OF THE HEART? MAKING A DIFFERENCE. By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) *MEMORY: mind stares, to store information, to learn and recall.

    Why is it that we come to church? Why do we open ourselves up to the possibility that we might have to confront ourselves, to repent and even to change?

    How many of you have heard someone say, “Why do I have to go to church? Can’t I be just as good of a Christian at home, reading the Bible, doing good deeds, praying by myself, maybe watching a favorite preacher TV in the comfort of my own living room? Why should I bother getting up on Sunday ...read more

    We have been forgiven in Christ for the sins that we have committed and confessed. But the underlying condition out of which these sins arise - what’s to be done about that?

    “Out, damned spot!” may be one of the most widely recognized lines Shakespeare ever wrote. I wonder why? In a more innocent age it might have been for the forbidden thrill of saying “damn.” But of course that doesn’t apply any more, does it. It’s one of the milder epithets available. If that’s the ...read more

    Avoiding A Critical Spirit

     | 1,985 views

    There is a place for honestly confronting others when done in a loving and gracious way. Yet maturity means learning to guard our hearts from an unhelpful, critical spirit, as we'll learn in this story of Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses.

    It’s summertime folks. And the heat of Texas is here. And that heat causes many to be on edge—on edge enough to gripe or complain about the smallest of things. Do we have any complainers here today? This coming November, I will have been pastor here at SEBC for 27 years. Through those years I ...read more

    Jesus told a story (parable) about two men who went to the Temple to pray. One man was changed, but the other remained the same. Let's take a look:

    (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Some folks have become concerned about where they’re going when they die. I know of some who have asked, “Am I going to Hell when I die?” Today’s text, a story from Jesus about two people, ...read more

    Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Preaching The Word Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 462 views

    Jonah preached and the people of Nineveh repented. Preaching the word of God should be taken seriously, should be based on the word of God. Here are some important aspects of preaching which when followed will certainly produce a bountiful harvest.

    We read in Jonah 3:5, “The people of Nineveh believed God. They decided to stop eating for a time to think about their sins. They put on special clothes to show they were sorry. All the people in the city did this, from the most important to the least important.” (ERV) The people of Nineveh ...read more

    Worship should be done in "Spirit and in Truth"... but what does that mean? How will I know when I've worshipped that way? And what difference would it make if didn't worship that way?

    OPEN: A few years ago, Scott (our Family Minister) and I heard that a church building over by High School was for sale and Scott thought it would be a great place for a youth outreach program (Scott’s a genius at lining up grants for things like that).

    Romans 13 is one of the most debated passages in the Bible, particularly when it comes to understanding the Christian’s relationship to government and authority.

    Compassion & Understanding Of The Lord Heals The Canaanite Woman’s Daughter

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

     | 585 views

    Because we harbour differences, misunderstandings, resentments, and issues that we must sort out with the Lord, he may growl at us when we ask for a favour. But if our faith in God remains unshaken, the Lord will ensure that God will answer our cries for help.

    Today, I want to hear God speaking to us through the story of Jesus healing the Canaanite woman’s daughter, who was tormented by a demon. For many reasons, this is a unique and fascinating story. For starters, this story, which is placed in the region of Tyre and Sidon, is among the two stories ...read more

    Sermon # 35 - The Heart Of A Christian Leader Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 205 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God, but he did not understand the loving heart of God towards a repentant people. The heart of Moses as a leader of the Israelites and the forgiving heart of Jesus are the best examples of how a Christian leader should love and care for the people under his or her care.

    We read in Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) There are two kinds of emotions that Jonah expressed as mentioned in the verse above, one was sadness, and the other was anger. As we meditate on this portion of scripture, we will try to understand the reasons for ...read more

    Understand that Glory and Honor is from Him – it is derived; it is not intrinsic to us. We have no Glory, we have no status apart from what God has given us.

    TITLE: GOD HAS REASON NOT TO LIKE US SCRIPTURE: PSALM 8 / JOB 7:17-18 I want to challenge us this morning with an unsettling statement as our thought for the morning – “God Has Reason Not To Like Us.” I will give you a moment to squirm in the pew.
