Generous Savior Series

Contributed by Ryan Akers on Apr 6, 2012

Most people might like to consider themselves generous people, but the reality is we are only generous some of the time and selfish most of the time. If we want to learn what true generosity looks like then we need to look to the God who not only created

Generous Part 1: Savior I want to begin this message with a question. What is the most generous thing you have ever done for someone? I mean what is one thing that you did that was so big that it made you sit back and think, man I’m a good generous person? THAT was generous. For each of us ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 3, 2019

The Lord is not "the shepherd" and He's not "a shepherd." David says He's MY shepherd. What does that mean for us?

Whate’er I do, where’er I be, still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.’ (CHORUS) He leadeth me, He ...read more

It's Only Physical Series

Contributed by Andy Stanley on Sep 18, 2009

This is the fourth in a series of messages about the impact of the "unseen" world on this world. This sermon focuses on sexuality and the biblical definition of oneness and intimacy.

I spent 15 years or so talking to high school students. That’s how I got my start in ministry. So, I talked about sex a lot. I talked about it as much as I possibly could. One of my favorite things to do is I created a lecture that was for premarital sex. I would come in as a different character ...read more

Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007

This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more

Psalm 139 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 12, 2020

God sees all and knows all. That can cause us to feel either threatened or comforted. The best response is that of David, "lead me." It is far better to be led by the one who sees and knows everything, even our own thoughts.

In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
