    2 Corinthians 13:5 (NLT) 5Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine. Test yourselves. If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you, it means you have failed the test. The reason Paul calls on them to examine themselves was, Paul was concerned that many of them had been ...read more

  • We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,109 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

    IT TAKES FAITH (part seven) Hebrews 11:17-19 Today we'll be looking at probably the greatest test of faith given to a man followed by the greatest display of trust and obedience (next to Jesus', of course).

    When God tests your faith... When He challenges you to do more than you’ve ever done with your life... I want you to see what a great opportunity He’s given you. I believe that our greatest work is just around the corner… This sermon was adapted from a

    An English teacher and her class were studying well known Proverbs. One day she gave them a test to see how well they were understanding what she taught.

  • What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,616 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

  • Aspects Of Endurance

     | 1,976 views

    If we lived a life of constant health, wealth, and happiness we would become a weak and ineffective Christians: assuming we were somehow capable of maintaining our relationship with Jesus.

    Aspects of Endurance Of course, the need for enduring does not mean we adopt a persecuted-prophet perspective or conduct ourselves so zealously that we induce hardships. It does one no good to manufacture hardships so that they can practice endurance. The endurance Christ repeatedly urges ...read more

    We are continuing with our Genesis “From Dust to Life” series.

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

  • Following Jesus, Even Through Trials And Tests Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,323 views

    James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

    Full disclosure: this is edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO in August 2022 Introduction: Many of us think following Jesus is going to be a walk in the park, so to speak, but that isn’t always true. Certainly, as He promised, He’s there with us, but trials and tests ...read more
