  • That Old-Time Religion: Job's Friend Bildad Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 4, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,030 views

    When we are in distress, we do not want doctrine. We want a fresh encounter with God, we want listening friends, and most of all, we want, and have, a Redeemer.

    Years ago the church of which I was then a member had an evening ice-cream social and service out on the church grounds one summer Sunday. It was a gently warm night, and as the sun went down and a little chill crept into the air, as the stars began to come out and faces began to disappear into the ...read more

    Sermon series on the Book of Jonah. Some of my resources come from John Hamby’s sermons as well as Jerry Giffords

    “Returning to God” “Jonah’s Prayer” Jonah 1:17-2:1-10 Jonah’s story is simple. Jonah, a child of God, ran from his Father. God pursued his child on the wings of a storm. The storm, of course, forced Jonah to reconsider the path he had chosen. This short book is his record of those difficult days. ...read more

    Contributed by Ryan Akers on Dec 3, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,643 views

    You never seem to hear about people saying they are afraid of Jesus but truth is not only were people afraid of Jesus when he was born but millions are still afraid of him today.

    Jesus. What Child is This? Part 1- Many Are Afraid- Herod’s Fear Matthew 2:1-18 One of the most interesting emotions I think humans experience is fear. It’s an emotion that goes up and down all the time. Sometimes we love it and look for it (movies, roller coasters, extreme sports) and sometimes ...read more

  • Are You Still Being Saved Today?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,926 views

    A message of how our salvation is not something relegated to the past; something that happened to us "once", but is actively being worked on in the present.

    We Christians talk a lot about our being saved, don’t we? But have you ever noticed that it always seems to be in the past tense? ‘Have you been saved?’ ‘When were you saved?’ I think the more appropriate, and perhaps the most accurate way of asking about one’s salvation would be, ‘Are you ...read more

  • God's Judgment Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jan 23, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,286 views

    In this sermon we notice that God sends judgment on some, and that is not inconsistent with his justice.

    Scripture Today I would like to study what is arguably one of the most difficult doctrines in the entire Bible: the doctrine of reprobation. The previous two weeks we studied the positive side of predestination, which is election. Of course, many people struggle with the doctrine of election. ...read more

  • Playing It Safe: Job's Friend Zophar Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 7, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,133 views

    For Lent and Annunciation: Zophar’s counsel is to "play it safe" by sticking to ideas rather than engaging persons. He thinks that security is the goal. God in Christ takes the risk of loving us and living with us.

    Every human heart is so made that it can be hurt. Of that I have no doubt. Every human heart is subject to hurt, to pain, to shock. Every one of us is subject to feelings that we do not enjoy -- disappointment, anger, despair, guilt, anxiety -- a whole range of painful feelings. And we either deal ...read more
