Sermons on The Great Commandment:

Recognizing The Great Apostasy

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 6, 2022

The Bible tells us to stay strong in our faith and to always meet together as a church. But when we look around, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason.

In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one ...read more

Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say. Her mother sat in the front and tried to ...read more

A Great Cloud Of Witnesses

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

The apostle Paul wrote these words, encouraging believers in Jesus to run the race. Run the race of what? Of the faith.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2020

The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7).

The Parable Of The Great Feast

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Aug 30, 2019

One can always improve their position, but can also be demoted

THE PARABLE OF THE GREAT FEAST (Luke 14:1, 7-14) In this Gospel reading, we again find Jesus teaching through a parable – but this time we get two for the price of one.

A warning against rejecting the only means of escape.

THIS SO GREAT SALVATION. Hebrews 2:1-4. Perhaps the Hebrew Christians to whom this letter was first sent were a little inclined to go back to ‘the old religion’.

Dare We Be Great

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 10, 2019

Hypothetically, if you were in a supermarket and someone asked you, “what does it mean to be great and would that be something you desire of yourself?”

Would you stop to think what it means to be great and why this person would be asking, “me of all people?” Would we have to defer until we got home to check the internet or perhaps dust off our old copy of Webster’s…or would we have an immediate answer? Would our answer be any different if we ...read more

So Great A Cloud

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Nov 18, 2019

Saints can be great people like Mother Teresa or Francis of Assisi … but saints can be ordinary people. People like you and me. People who have given their hearts to Jesus. People that the light of God … the light of the Holy Spirit … shines through.

One day a man and his five-year-old son were walking through a beautiful church. The church was filled with bright light from its many colorful stained-glass windows. As the boy looked at the windows, he asked: “Who are all the people in the windows, Daddy?” “They are saints,” his father ...read more

Contributed by John White on Dec 3, 2018

Christmas is a time for questioning. It is the year's end. In the life of a church it is the climax of a year's worship and service unto God. A time when every individual should have a close look at his relationship to Christ and stop and reassess his committal.

THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF CHRISTMAS Isa. 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Isa. 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his ...read more
