I must confess that there is something else that I don’t understand – why there seems to be such hatred in this world against anything that is considered to be Christian.
MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. There is a beautiful old hymn that begins with these words: “Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should He love me so?" And ends by asking, "Why should my Savior to Calvary go? Why should He love me so?” How would you ...read more

Scripture: Psalm 46:1-11
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
Hopelessness comes from misunderstanding the cross. There is no beauty in the cross to the carnal man. Once conviction of sin and confession of Jesus as Lord happens there is hope.
Intro: Our world seems hopeless in many ways. Economically, politically, racially, stock market woes, natural disasters. From a purely worldly standpoint there seems to be no reason to hope. The disciples of Jesus felt much the same way. Even though Jesus had told them again and again what ...read more
Scripture: Romans 1:17
Denomination: Baptist
This sermon reveals how easy it is to say one is a Christian but at the end of the day our fruits will either confirm or deny what we confess.
“Close [enough] Only Counts in Horse Shoes and With Hand Grenades.” How many have you heard or used that statement before? I remember hearing that a lot as I was growing up. For instance, I was often instructed to pick up every piece of trash, stick and stone from the yard before ...read more
God meets us in our questions and ordinary moments, inviting us to respond in faith, obedience, and public confession through Jesus Christ.
Some of the most beautiful moments in Scripture happen on ordinary roads. Dust on the sandals. Sun on the horizon. A heart with honest questions. That’s where we meet a man in a chariot and a disciple named Philip. And that’s where so many of us live these days—somewhere between questions and ...read more
Scripture: Acts 8:36
Topics: Hindrances, Obstacles
The sermon urges us to personally confess Jesus as the Christ, surrendering all to Him, and finding true life and identity in wholehearted allegiance to Him.
There are questions that settle the soul. They steady the heart in a world of headlines and hurry. One question rises above the noise like a bell in a storm. Jesus asks it with gentle authority and unshakable kindness: “Who do you say that I am?” We carry many names on our backs—titles, labels, ...read more
Scripture: Luke 9:18-20
Topics: Discipleship, Commitment
The sermon emphasizes honest confession, community prayer, and faithful living as the pathway to experiencing God’s healing power and transformative presence together.
Friends, I’m so glad you’re here. I don’t know what kind of week you’ve had—messy or marvelous, hurried or hopeful—but I do know this: God meets us where we are and loves us too much to leave us there. He meets us in living rooms and hospital rooms, in traffic and in tears, in quiet corners and ...read more
Scripture: James 5:16
Topics: Prayer, Effectiveness, Importance
True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.
Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more
Scripture: Luke 18:9-14
Topics: God's Mercy, Divine Compassion
Peter’s confession was not merely the recitation of a creed: it was an expression of an inner belief and conviction which had taken hold of his whole life.
WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Revised. Matthew 16:13-20. 1. Jesus asked, “WHO DO MEN SAY THAT I THE SON OF MAN AM?” (Matthew 16:13). Throughout the Gospels our Lord’s favourite name for Himself is: “the Son of man.” It is an expression which is found in Psalm 8:4. It is a title which ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20
True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or comparison, but from humble confession and receiving the mercy and love found in Jesus Christ.
Some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a scoreboard in our heart. You know the scoreboard I mean—the quiet tally of how we’re doing compared to others, the inner itch to be seen as enough, the nervous need to be noticed and approved. We measure our worth by the week we had, the ...read more
Topics: Humility, Exaltation, Self-Righteousness
What are we declaring when we give our weekly offering to God. Powerful insights are given by Solomon to his son. (A couple of families changed their giving practices as a result of this sermon)
OPEN: In 21ST Century Christian Magazine a mother told this story: Our 3 year old daughter was in the habit of giving half of her 2 quarter allowance to God each week. One Sunday we were out of town, so the next Sunday, we gave her an extra quarter to teach her about “making up” our giving when ...read more

Prayers in order to be heard, must not be hindered by sin in our life
James 5:17-18 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. Ok what sport ...read more

Scripture: Luke 15:11-24
Don’t pretend to be better than you really are. You could end up worse than you were; and besides, you don’t have to fake it to make it with God.
A cowboy walked into a Texas bar, ordered three bottles of beer, and sat in the back room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished them, he came back to the bar and ordered three more. The bartender told the cowboy, "You know, a bottle goes flat after I open it. It would taste ...read more
Scripture: Acts 5:1-11
Denomination: Evangelical Free
A problem for a lot of people who name the name of Jesus as Christians is there hasn’t been a lot of growth in their Christian life. A lot of Christians don’t grow much beyond that point of conversion. There is no growth in grace, as the Bible calls it.
INTRODUCTION I’m too young to remember this, but I am told there used to be a television show in black and white entitled, “Wanted, Dead or Alive,” starring Steve McQueen. My wife says she remembers that show, but I don’t. It refers back to an old tradition among bounty ...read more
