    Women Teachers : Are They Ordained?

    Contributed by Dana Carpenter Jr. on Dec 30, 2000
    based on 299 ratings
     | 6,098 views

    Scripture grants much more freedom to women than the historical church allowed them to have, but does that freedom include the permission to teach men?

    (The views expressed in this teaching are not necessarily those of Freedom Bible College, Concepts of Freedom Ministries, or any affiliations, ministers, faculty, or staff thereof.) INTRODUCTION. A. I ask your forgiveness in advance as this message is going to seem harsh at some points. ...read more

    Living A Life Of Sacrifice: A Matter Of The Heart

    Contributed by Mike Hays on Dec 2, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,067 views

    The woman with the alabaster jar and the widow’s two copper coins show us that sacrificial giver is not determined by much we give, but by a grateful heart.

    “Living A Life of Sacrifice: A Matter Of The Heart” Romans 12:1-8 This is the last week of our stewardship “check-up.” I hope that during the past week you have found quiet times to allow the Lord to search your heart, give you insights into His will, and give you the passion to become a godly ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Massey on Mar 29, 2002
    based on 78 ratings
     | 9,620 views

    Jesus’ ministry did not pass away with His death on the cross. He is still very much involved in every believer’s life today.

    THE CONTINIOUS MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST “HE EVER LIVETH” HEB. 7:19-25 In just a couple of weeks, we will celebrate one of Christianity’s most holy days, which is Easter. The Gospel, or good news, contains not only the message that Jesus died for us and paid our debt of sin to God, it also ...read more

    His Former Presence

    Contributed by Johnny Carver on Apr 9, 2002
    based on 79 ratings
     | 4,986 views

    This sermon deals with the reality of God’s Presence having been allowed to be shoved out of the workings of the church and not very much is said about it.

    Scripture: Songs of Solomon Title: “His Former Presence” Introduction: One of the saddest things I can think of is to have the “Presence of the Lord” to depart from someone. To have once had the vibrant “Presence of the Lord” at work in your life and then for it to be gone.  It was common ...read more

    God Is Merciful... Are We?

    We are blessed when our sins are forgiven... how much greater is the blessing when we can forgive those who wrong us.

    God Is Merciful-- Are We? MT 18:21-35 Today’s scripture reminds me of the story told about Gen. Robert E. Lee after the civil war. Lee visited a Kentucky lady who took him to the remains of a grand old tree in front of her house. There she bitterly cried that its limbs and trunk had been ...read more

    based on 104 ratings
     | 10,664 views

    Second in a series of sermons based on Hebrews 11. Abel’s sacrifce is lauded not because of its content as much as the faith it took to give it to God.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The text for tonight’s proclamation is taken from the Epistle, Hebrews 11:4; By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of ...read more

    Proverbial Wisdom

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jun 1, 2001
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,297 views

    Much of God’s wisdom can be found in the book of Proverbs. Two subjects covered are: 1- Hard work 2- Drinking and drunkenness.

    PROVERBIAL WISDOM INTRO.- Proverbial wisdom. I want to share some of God’s wisdom from the book of Proverbs, but first let me share some good quips and quotes or words of wisdom from man. - It’s all right to be dumb, but it’s stupid to make a career out of it. - Ignorance is not the problem. ...read more

    Breakthrough In Jerusalem

    based on 17 ratings
     | 16,305 views

    A breakthrough in your day-to-day life can mean a lot to us. But a breakthrough in a spiritual crisis can take on a much greater meaning.

    BREAKTHROUGH IN JERUSALEM I am thankful today that God has helped me in many difficult times. Each of us can remember times when God has helped us face what seemed to be impossible situations. We are victorious because of His promise found in - Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more ...read more

    Slow Down And Shut Up Series

    based on 21 ratings
     | 10,143 views

    24th in series on Joshua. This is about jumping to conclusions about someone else’s faith, and how it’s much safer not to speculate.

    Joshua 22:1-34 – Slow Down and Shut Up (NOTE: I draw heavily on Brian McLaren’s A New Kind of Christian for this message. And the reference I make to Pentecostals are towards the Jesus-only variety, not the Trinitarian varieties.) Maybe you have heard the poem called The Cookie Thief, by ...read more

    So much is changing! However, God is not, and the forgiveness and presence of Jesus does not change. This is a short homily given at a residential care home for the elderly.

    [This is a short homily given at a residential care home for the elderly.] In the pop song ‘Everything fades away’, Mariah Carey sings the words, “Nothing ever stays the same.” However, in the old hymn ‘Abide with me’ we come across these words: “Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who ...read more

    Taking Paul’s lead to change our focus from this world to the reward at the end of the race. How much would you need to change if ....

    I was raised in a small town in southern Ohio. I remember the lazy days of summer when the air-raid sirens went off once per week and we would all look up to see if we could see enemy planes, or when all the boys would gather on the school playground to play baseball like the big kids did.

    So That Nothing May Be Lost

    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,998 views

    Christ Jesus thought some leftover fish and bread was important enough to be gathered up. How much more important are the fragments of your life?

    John 6: 1 – 21 So That Nothing May Be Lost Intro: I. The story of the miraculous feeding occupied a central place in the oral tradition about Jesus. It is the only miracle story that occurs in all four gospels. In fact, Matthew and Mark even tell the story twice. There are basically ...read more

    How much sweeter my relationship, more fulfilled my life, more powerful my ministry, if I had a greater passion for Christ.

    If We Only Had A Passion For Christ PASSION-Any powerful emotion , such as love and joy. Boundless enthusiasm.

    You'll Never Have To Worry About Money Again

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Jan 28, 2005
    based on 31 ratings
     | 4,303 views

    According to Jesus, this is true, even if you don’t win the lottery. It has nothing to do with how much money is in your bank account.

    Matthew 6:24-34: “YOU’LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MONEY AGAIN” “You’ll never have to worry about money again, if...” if what? How would you finish that sentence? You’ll never have to worry about money again, if – you win the lottery? That’s a common one. If you could get a better job? If ...read more

    This sermon shows us by analyzing certain events in the life of David just how much GOD loves those whom others deem as unworthy!

    “GOD Loves Leftovers!!!” I Samuel 16:1-13 1 Samuel 16 1.
