Sermons on the gates:

Going On A Little Further

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on May 20, 2008

Being saved is not the end of the process. Being pleasing to god requires us to pass through the gate of salvation... and then go further. This sermon discussed the other gates we must pass through.

Going on… A little further. Matthew 26:36-45 This morning I want to speak to you about something very important… going deeper in your spiritual life. As always our example is Jesus. He went a little further than the old law required. "You have heard it said, but I say..." The requirements ...read more

Taking It To The Mat Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 23, 2015

How do we defeat Satan? It appears we do it by (as a Church) beating down the gates of Hell. But how exactly do that, and what is the objective in beating down those gates?

When Joe Louis was in his prime he fought "Two-Ton" Tony Galento. Louis was favored to win because 2 Ton Tony loved to fight… but he hated to train. At the first part of the fight, Galento threw his Sunday punch and sent Louis sprawling to the mat. Louis was more surprised than hurt and ...read more

Rocky - Preparing For The Fight Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 5, 2003

Why did Jesus take His disciples to Caesarea Philippi? Why go to a pagan, idolatrous city to ask His disciples the most important question of His ministry?

OPEN: I read once the story of a young black man in the ghettos. He was fortunate in that he had both of his parents, and they struggled to make ends meet. But for his birthday that year they had scraped together enough money to pay for a brand new bicycle. A few days later someone stole it. ...read more

"A Mighty Army” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Aug 9, 2010

God sees His church as being a mighty army, storming the gates of Hell.

One of our Lord’s teaching techniques was to ask His listeners a question, which, in the process of answering, would allow Him to teach them truth. Such is the case here. Jesus wanted His disciples to see that the world doesn’t know who He is. The disciples, on the other hand, did know who He is. ...read more

Automatic Door Openers

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 19, 2010

For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

Christ is the King of Glory. He is the One who ascends into the Presence of the Lord. Only He has perfectly fulfilled the Law in perfect righteousness. Christ, who went to the cross and defeated our two greatest enemies: Sin and death!

It’s funny how things go sometimes.

Templegate: Jesus Cleanses The Temple - Easter 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 1, 2024

The Bible says that many were willing to believe in Him because of His signs, or His miracles. Still, Jesus can see through such false “belief.” If belief were a pool of water, then their belief would have been a puddle.

Ever since Watergate that took down the 37th President of the United States, scandal and corruption stories often end with the word” gate” as a result. There was Nannygate, Deflategate, Grannygate, and Spygate. I invite you ...read more
