    The Source Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jul 20, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,912 views

    Jesus had broken down the barriers between the diverse elements of the church. We have one faith, one Lord, and one baptism. From the cross flows the river of peace.

    Ephesians 2:11-22 “The Source of Peace” INTRODUCTION When we think of heaven, we conjure up many images. The Jews imagine a place of feasting and celebrating. Our Teutonic and Scandinavian ancestors couldn’t quite conceive of heaven being a party place, so they pictured a place of peace that ...read more

    "I believe, help my unbelief" is a confession of sin and of faith that takes real courage to make. In the Cross we know what God’s response to us is and forever will be.

    Mark 9:14-29 Today the Word of God that engages us is from Mark chapter 9. In the middle of these verses is one God-Inspired phrase that has been a real help to me on my own journey of faith. Words spoken first by a man who had the courage to be truly honest with himself, and honest with God. ...read more

    Sin at its worst is the inability to understand ourselves and to control ourselves, leading to separation from self, others, and God. The cross, the empty tomb, and Christ’s life rescue us.

    Well, are you ready today for the fourth step, the step that’s all the way down at the floor level? Those who were not here last Sunday do not know what I’m talking about. Those who were here will need a little review. Let me explain. Last Sunday we walked the first mile on the Roman Road ... ...read more

    Having A Pit Bull Mentality Pt. 2

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Sep 29, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,373 views

    This sermon reassures the believer that we have our salvation because Jesus the Christ refused to come down from that old rugged cross because of His Pit Bull Mentality.

    Introduction: Pit bulls are some of the most vicious dogs that an owner can purchase. They are known by society for holding on relentlessly to their victim until dead. Once they grab hold, they are determined not to let go. They are focused with a made up mind not to release their prey. ...read more

    The Real Reason For The Season

     | 4,938 views

    Surely it is good we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. But why did God send His only Son? What was the reason? It ultimately leads to the cross and forgiveness, and our salvation.

    We talked last week about “What if.” We looked at the Dickens Story “A Christmas Carol” and while acknowledging that “Christ” was not mentioned in the story, as Christians, we look for the message of Christ everywhere. And as such, we said that we might look at the “Spirits” of Christmas past, ...read more

     | 5,438 views

    Jesus makes it clear in Luke 9:23 that the path of discipleship is a costly one; what challenges do we face in "bearing our cross daily" in today’s culture?

    COSTS OF THE JOURNEY In this series from Luke we are seeing how following Jesus – what we call discipleship – is like a journey with him. This is what the disciples did in Luke’s Gospel, where Chapters 9-19 are in the form of a journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In the first week Wayne introduced ...read more

    We have recorded for us seven of the sayings made by Jesus from the cross. This sermon seeks to describe what were are to gain/learn from Jesus providing for his mother.

    John, in specifically selecting the events that lead to belief, preserves for us three of the recorded sayings that Jesus made while suffering the unthinkable, the unimaginable on the cross. The Synoptic writers record four others. We would be in error to portray that we know for certain that ...read more

    The Curse: Why Jesus Died Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 6, 2009

     | 6,020 views

    We see in the Bible that the curse is why Jesus died. To remove the curse of sin and death. We will also see the cross where Jesus died and the Crown why Jesus lives.

    Intro: Paul’s letter to the Galatians is addressing what man seems always to do. Either add to or take away from God’s word. It began in the garden with Adam and Eve. Adam disregarded God’s word and Eve added to it. I’ve got to quote John Piper, “Satan is continuously at work tempting us to ...read more

     | 11,685 views

    What does it really mean that Jesus died for us? There is a story of Jesus Barabbas who should die on the cross but his place was taken by Jesus Christ, God´s Son.

    Today I want to tell you a story of a man whom we meet during the Lenten season but we don´t know him very well because his name just briefly shows up in the passion story. This person made many unusual decisions in his life and tried some things that an ordinary person may never experience. Now, ...read more

     | 4,970 views

    The question was asked by Christ on the cross and we often ask it as we look at the Easter Story, God Why Don' t you do something. The reality is that he was doing something

    Matthew 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” How many times have we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked as he hung dying on the cross? ...read more
