    "Foremost Among Sinners"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Sep 21, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,891 views

    If all of us were prepared to stand and say, "NO, I am foremost among sinners", there would be a lot less finger-pointing, wouldn’t there?

    12 “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord ...read more

    Some folks think we have to work for our salvation. Maybe we’re saved by grace, but we stay saved by our works. Big mistake.

    Sermon for CATM – October 5, 2008 – “Working Out Your Salvation” Last week Pastor Bill Ryan did a splendid job of helping us understand the first 11 verses of chapter two of Philippians. I was thrilled actually, because Bill really did an amazing job…superb theology and superb application…making ...read more

    Daniel; A Man Of Prayer

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 14, 2015
     | 12,754 views

    Folks, God will send a blessing to many because of the prayer of one. But how much better would it be if all of us here, and the entire Church of God, were stirred up to pray for God’s kingdom.

    4-4-05 Title: Daniel; A Man of Prayer Text: "O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God; for thy city and thy people are called by thy name."—Daniel 9:19.

    How Is Jesus’ Way Different From The Law? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 8, 2021
     | 2,105 views

    This passage highlights how different what Jesus is bringing is from what the religious teachers were offering. How exactly is Jesus' way different?

    THE JEWS' PLAN: 1. THEIR SYSTEM WAS THE LAW. - John 7:21-24. - The miracle that is referred to in v. 21 is almost certainly the healing at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-15). John records miracles after that, but that was the miracle that brought out the issue of healing on the Sabbath. ...read more

    Junction Or Journey

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jul 29, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,461 views

    We’re too often guilty of aiming and nothing and hitting it every time. “Visionaries can see life for what it is, can see God for who God is. They are people who can read the “signs of the times”, not the “signs of the future”.” (Leonard Sweet)

    “Where there is no vision the people perish” (Hebrew Proverb) “Where there is only vision, people have nervous breakdowns.” (Postmodern Hebrew Proverb as quoted by Leonard Sweet) – having the vision and dreams but not doing (not able to do) anything about them. Larry of the Three Stooges caused ...read more

    How To Know If You Have Itching Ears

    Contributed by Jason Evans on Oct 4, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,929 views

    When your ear itches then you're going to listen to something, but it will not be sound doctrine. When we judge the word of God given by His preachers & teachers based on our belief rather than judging our belief by the scriptures they bring we're deaf.

    2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come ...read more

    In this message we will talk about the two connections that everyone one of us were made for... connecting to God and connecting to one another.

    Made For Connection The Chase – week two Video bumper Wow! Powerful video, right? I MEAN - I can so relate… running from God.

    The Tamed Tongue

    Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,222 views

    The Bible says a great deal about the tongue. David prayed for the Lord to set a watch and keep the door of his lips. The writer of Proverbs declared that the hypocrite with his mouth destroyed his neighbor. Jesus warned about judgment regarding use of the tongue (Matt. 12:36–37).

    The Tamed Tongue Scripture: James 3:1–12, especially verses 8–10 No man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and ...read more

     | 1,789 views

    There is a pre - eminent master key that opens the door to God's vault of blessings. Treasures are stored in well fortified strong rooms and you need a master key to gain access to the treasures. To access God's blessings, you need to pray (Matt 7:7).

    TEXT: "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who ask, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened" (Matt 7: 7-8 ...read more

     | 9,729 views

    I believe that we all understand that along with the rest of the world, we were once WITHOUT CHRIST. There’s no way I can describe for you the great misery that lies in those two words.

    4-9-04 Title: WITHOUT CHRIST Text: “WITHOUT CHRIST." (Ephesians 2:12) Introduction: I want to use two words from Ephesians 2:12 and that will be our text. The verse says, “That at that time ye were WITHOUT CHRIST, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers ...read more

    The Church at Laodicea was an example of a Church that lacked leaders who were willing to move them past their comfort zone. God calls all of us to lead people without fear.

    Humility Of Abraham Vs. The Pride Of Babel

     | 19,180 views

    Only God has the right to make a name for us. Abraham submitted and was exalted, the people of Babel exalted and were humbled.

    The Humility of Abraham or Pride of Babel I want to start by looking at Isaiah 57: 15: For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to ...read more
