Be Great By Faith Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 15, 2024

John says we've been given the right to become Children of God. How do we receive that right, and what can it mean to us?

A preacher was on a radio program where the interviewer was an atheist. The atheist demanded that the preacher NOT quote any scripture during the interview. “I don’t want to hear any Bible on my airways. You got that? No Bible on my airwaves.” So, then the interviewer started the program by ...read more

Essentials Of Faith

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 4, 2023

In this exposition of Hebrews 11:1-6, the nature of faith (v. 1), understanding by faith (v. 3), and essentials of faith (v. 6) are explored. "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Therefore, the subject is of supreme importance.

We take our text today from Hebrews 11: the great faith chapter. We will begin by reading the first six verses. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by ...read more

Faith And Fear

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 11, 2023

We ask for more faith than we realize we have. We let it lie dormant in us, while all the time God is there, and our faith in God is there, doing very little.

There is a legend from the Orient about a traveler making his way to a large city. One night he meets two other travelers along the road: Fear and Plague. Plague explains to the traveler that, once they arrived, they are expected to kill 10,000 people in the city. The traveler asks Plague if Plague ...read more

Faith In Healing

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2023

Everything in Mark chapter 5 concerns itself with healing and restoration: from the healing and restoring of a demon possessed man to the resurrection of a little girl. In-between these two healings are that of the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may ...read more

Legalism Or Faith

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 22, 2023

Do we rely on things of the flesh like circumcision, rest days, tongues, wealth and health? Do we rely on Christ?

Did Paul use strong terms for those who promoted a variety of legalism? So then, my brothers and sisters, be glad in the Lord. It’s no trouble for me to repeat the same things to you because they will help keep you on track. Watch out for the “dogs.” Watch out for people who do evil things. Watch ...read more

Faith Is The Victory

How does faith give the victory? 1. Faith in the future. 2. Faith overcomes temptation. 3. Faith to Go on. 4. Faith to Die (Started working on this some years ago so have no idea where this outline came from. Yes, this sermon is based on the hymn, "Faith Is the Victory")
