The Verdict: No One Is Righteous Series

Contributed by David Owens on May 28, 2019

This sermon is the completion of Paul's three chapter presentation of the universal sinfulness and helplessness of all people. Before Paul can share the good news of the gospel, he must first we understand and accept the bad news of our condition.

Divine Providence Part 4 - Justice, Mercy, And The Plan Of Salvation Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Nov 10, 2018

Spit It Out!

Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Mar 5, 2024

This message is about the need to share the Gospel, even though at time our heavenly Father may need to compel us to do so. We should never be ashamed to share the powerful Gospel of Salvation!

SPIT IT OUT! Text: Rom 1:16-17 (16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Exercising And Exorcising

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025

In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 10 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 9, 2023

Part 10 looks at Darwinism (Evolution) and Climate Change. Both are very major issues and right up there near the top of Satan’s great schemes and delusion. Both these agendas have changed the world. I know some might disagree but I can see no other way.

WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 10 We are not ignorant of Satan’s devices because God tells us that, but do we know much about them? I am exploring some of these that Satan uses to pollute, confuse, distort and lie about all that God has established. In this address we ...read more

Sermon - The Paradox Of Biblical Faith

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 15, 2024

Believers today must likewise persevere in faith and trust God, even when they do not see all the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. The faith that pleases God is a faith that can surrender God's promises back to Him and trust God for their fulfillment according to His will.

Subject: The Paradox of Biblical Faith Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on ...read more

Who Do You Say I Am

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Apr 19, 2022

Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do people say that I am?" Peter answered, “John the Baptist, or Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” Jesus asked, Who do you say I am? Peter’s answer reverberates across the centuries: "You are the Christ, the son of the living God"

Anchored In The Lord PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 25, 2025

Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

Some of us walked in today with our shoulders tight and our phones buzzing. Headlines howl. Schedules stretch. Hearts race. You know the feeling—when the ground under your feet seems to shift and your peace feels paper-thin. In those hours, we want something steady, something sure. We long for a ...read more
