    God's Temple

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 624 views

    In our text for today, the apostle Paul makes the amazing claim that now the church is God’s temple. And we’re not talking about church buildings or services, we are talking about the community of people.

    Alba 3-16-2025 GOD'S TEMPLE I Corinthians 3:16-17 Throughout history people have created structures to be used as places of worship, and offer sacrifices, and to meet with their god or gods. When the children of Israel were still in the wilderness, after leaving Egypt, God gave instructions ...read more

    Is Isaiah Crying Marantha? (Advent 1 December 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 808 views

    Though we are not a post-exilic community, like the one in today’s text we too, want relief from our disasters of this tumultuous year. The one thing that quarantine has in common with being exiled is isolation. ... We too, want God to act and fix things.

    IS ISAIAH CRYING MARANTHA? (Advent 1 December 2020) Text: Isaiah 64:1 - 9 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence— 2 as when fire kindles brushwood and the fire causes water to boil— to make your name known to your ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023

     | 1,969 views

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

    In this text we see Jesus begin to proclaim God’s good news. He tells us what this good news is, and what we are invited to do about it. Then we see what we can expect from this good news, as well as what not to focus on. It all begins with some bad news,

    Kingdom Come! Mark 1:14-39 INTRO: What’s the best news you have ever heard/could ever hear? Today, God has some really good news for you!

    Now having given the disciples a pattern for prayer, the Lord continues his instruction by telling a story. But why does he give us this parable? In the text we are going to see three principles about prayer.

    This is a fun sermon to preach! God’s call extends from the ordinary (apostles) to the extraordinary (Jonah). Many times God calls us through the subtlety of invitation as in this text. We are invited to go and do likewise.

    How do you know you’re Christian? Do you know what being a Christian involves and brings with it? That’s what Paul talks about to the Romans in today’s text.

    March 13, 2005 Romans 8:16-18 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God or you could even say co-heirs with Christ, since we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

    Intriguing look at some OT Saints saved in NT days...still looking forward for their Messiah until they realized He was behind them! Link included to formatted text version, handout, and PowerPoint template.

    Saying ‘Grace’ and ‘The Second Blessing’ Acts 19:1-7 It’s very important to understand that the book of Acts is a book of “transition.” It’s a bridge, so to speak, between the OT and the NT. Bridges are a good thing…they help connect things…make new journeys possible. But one thing you never ...read more

    Offense involves the conduct of the person who is injured. It denotes the enticement or occasion leading to conduct that brings with it the ruin of the person in question. In our text Luke 17:1, the concept of offense is concerned mainly with the fact tha

    Today, I would like to deal with the word “offense.” Used in a variety of ways in Scripture, as it is in English: it is an infraction of law, sin, transgression, and state of being damaged. In addition, it is the act of creating resentment, hurt feelings, and displeasure. The Greek word for ...read more
