    The Comfortable Church

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Sep 20, 2025
     | 380 views

    The sermon addresses the spiritual dangers of a comfortable, complacent church exemplified by the Laodicean church in Revelation. It warns against lukewarm faith, false security in material wealth, and neglecting Christ’s presence, urging repentance and renewed zeal for true spiritual riches.

    The Comfortable Church Sermon Manuscript Based on Revelation 3:14–22 (KJV) Incorporating excerpts from *The Narrow Road* by Thomas Andrufski and selected quotes from Charlie Kirk Idea based on the “Day’s of Praise” devotional by Henry M.

    A Very Frightening Reading About Hell, How Then To We Avoid It.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Sep 28, 2025
     | 182 views

    No matter where we are in our spiritual journey, this parable will quickly return us to earth with a bang. Let us remind ourself of our duty to God and our fellow man.

    Introduction: “This is a frightening reading” What a horrible, and frightening reading that was. For me, this is one of the worst passages in the whole bible, partly because we do not understand it in full, and partly because we do. … No matter where we are in our spiritual journey with the Lord, ...read more

    The Peril Of Having Too Much Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 28, 2021
     | 2,350 views

    The rich young ruler and his decision to walk away from the call of Jesus shattered the disciple's beliefs about riches being an exclusive sign of favor with God. Money and possessions tend to be a hindrance to faith in Him instead.

    A young man whom the Scriptures refer to as a "rich young ruler" came before Jesus with a question on how to obtain eternal life. After using the Law as a means of examining his motives, Jesus instructed him to go and sell all his possessions in order to receive spiritual treasure and ...read more

    Godliness with contentment is great gain.

    THE TRUE TREASURE. 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 1 Timothy 6:17-19. 1. A Word To Poor Christians (1 Timothy 6:6-10.) Paul’s response to those who suppose that ‘gain = godliness’ (cf. 1 Timothy 6:5) is the exact opposite: “But godliness + contentment = great gain!” (1 Timothy 6:6-7). This contentment ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Rich Man And Lazarus) # 18

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,888 views

    This parable is different from most parables because it conveys to us a number of vivid contrasts, such as:

    • Riches and Poverty • Heaven and Hell • Compassion and Indifference • Inclusion and Exclusion As we teach this parable, I need to mention that there are some who refuse to teach Luke 16:19-31 as a parable. Their objection is for two reasons: (1) It is the only one of the parables in which ...read more

    Man in his pomp, and without understanding, will be like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49 verses 12 and 20.

    THE CONFIDENCE OF THE FOOLISH EXPOSED. Psalm 49:1-12. This is a wisdom Psalm, addressed to “all people”: “both low and high, rich and poor, together” (Psalm 49:1-4). It is an encouragement to the poor not to fear (Psalm 49:5; cf. Psalm 37:7). It is an exposure of the folly (cf. Psalm 49:13) ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,361 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

    Are You Going Up Or Down?

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 19, 2015
     | 5,504 views

    The rich man's sin was not his wealth, but his hard heart. Those who are rich have an obligation to help the poor. How we use what we have leads to God's judgment.

    The Pope, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts all died on the same day and arrived at the Pearly Gates at the same time. St. Peter said to them, "I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that we are full right now and I am going to have to send the three of you down to the devil. The good ...read more

    God's Power Toward Us Who Believe

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 3, 2021
     | 4,314 views

    Man has always sought unlimited power. God has given believers just that. What is this power that God has given us, and how do we avoid squandering it?

    I) The search for unlimited power has been constant theme of history. A) Politically, we see this in attempts throughout history to rule the world. For example, Alexander the Great ruled Greece at the age of sixteen and soon set out on a conquest that saw him ruling most of the known Western ...read more

    It is not merely unbecoming for a Christian to slander or to malign a person, it is ungodly.

    “An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.” “A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.” [1] Life in this modern age has trained us to accommodate the transformation of language.
