Countering Drip-By-Drip Change...

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 10, 2016

Sometime change in our, and our churches, Christian perspective is so slow that we fail to recognize what is happening. It is like the drip-by-drip change, which Nazi ideology brought to Germany.

Countering Drip-by-Drip Change... Illustration We need to take the time to question how the German people could have allowed Nazi fanatics to turn their country into a Satanic tool that killed Jews by the millions? While it is true that early on some Germans openly adopted pagan and irreligious ...read more

Set Apart: How God Launches Movements PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 18, 2025

God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more

Confusion In The Church PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 19, 2025

God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

Lost And Found PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 23, 2025

Jesus sees, calls, and transforms the overlooked and broken, offering grace and belonging to all who respond to His invitation, no matter their past.

Friends, picture it with me: a crowded street in Jericho, hot dust swirling, elbows and shoulders jostling for a glimpse of a traveling Teacher. At the edge of that scene is a man who feels small in more ways than one. He has money that can buy him furniture but not friends, status that sparks ...read more

When God Is Distant - Mark 15:34 And Psalm 22 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 30, 2024

What can you do when God is far away? You cry out to him and receive no comfort, no strength, it just seems like your prayers bounce off the ceiling. That actually happened to Jesus, and when it did, he quoted a psalm that teaches exactly what to do in times like that.

Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Introduction What can you do when God is far away? You cry out to him and receive no comfort, no strength, it just ...read more

False Start Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 13, 2025

Moses had not wanted this assignment, but after some convincing, he had gone before Pharaoh and thrown down the gauntlet, but instead of crumbling, Pharaoh had taken up the challenge and thrown the first punch, apparently unafraid of the insignificant shepherd and his desert God.

February 15, 2025 Last week, when the Children of Israel were told that Yahweh had seen their misery and was concerned about them: “They believed and bowed down and worshiped” It was a great 1st start. Now all Moses and Aaron had to do was convince Pharaoh. I am not sure what they were ...read more

Hiding In The Church House Unnoticed Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Aug 7, 2021

We tackle the group that Jesus refers to in the Sermon on the Mount as wolves in sheep's clothing. These are the one who work their way into the church congregation, get places of authority and then start sharing lies or half-truth about God or His Word for the purpose of deceiving you.

Introduction: Today, we are going to look at the final group of players whose purpose is to deceive you and me as we approach the end times. In previous weeks, we looked at the scoffer who gets the Christian to question God. And then we saw last week that Satan uses lawlessness to his advantage to ...read more

5 The Fully Awakened Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025

But we need to hear the REAL Jesus speaking today telling us to WAKE UP to the lies, and get out of the heated water, get OUT of the culture–you are in the world but not OF the world. Not everyone will be let in! We must find our voice to speak up after we WAKE UP!

This is a sermon about “The Goat and The Frog & The Colon.” When I was growing up, my uncle would drive the stock truck by our house to pick me up and take me along with him to Lugbill’s Farm Auction in Archbold, Ohio. We would haul the choice animals over to the gate, unload, then go inside ...read more
