Sermons on Their Glory Was In Their Shame:

Face-To-Face With Your Maker

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 27, 2018

What will it be like to see God face-to-face? Isaiah does, and notes a pattern for us: we need to experience God's glory, sense our own unworthiness, receive God's cleansing, and respond to God's call. Then, we walk in fellowship with the God who made us.

Isaiah 6:1-8 Face-to-Face with Your Maker Prepare to meet your maker! Have you ever wondered what it will be like to see God face-to-face? The ancient prophet Isaiah actually had occasion to do so, and he didn’t die. God gave him a vision that would forever change him. As I looked at Isaiah’s ...read more

What Is The Proof

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 27, 2022

Every Christmas people gather in churches and exchange gifts among families and friends. Glory and honor to God for giving us His Son, Jesus Christ. We thank Jesus Himself, who chose to be born into our lives, die for us, and resurrected to give us eternal life.

Although there are some people who do not celebrate Christmas because they claim Jesus was not born on the 25th of December. Okay, maybe they are right. Contrariwise, others celebrate Christmas, regardless of when Jesus was born. The question I would like you to ponder today and answer is, ...read more

When The Veil Is Lifted

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on May 19, 2025

Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

Memorials On Memorial Day

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 26, 2025

We set memorials around us for many reasons. Joshua 4 gives God's people 3 specific reasons to set Memorials around them, to remind ourselves, to set forward God's truth to the next generation, and to bring Honor and Glory to God.

Memorials on Memorial Day Good Morning. Funny thing writing a sermon on why memorials are good, I got an email for something for a previous church. I ask Steph, “Why did I get this?” She said that church never changed their info. I ask if I should forward it to their current pastor, she says, “You ...read more

Moses - The Reluctant Hero Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 27, 2005

Most of the time we think of spiritual giants just itching to do God’s work. Moses was actually very reluctant to answer God’s call. This gives us ordinary folks hope. God takes us - whatever we have in our hand - and uses it for His glory.

What are you like when God calls you? Do you actively listen for His voice then jump at the chance to obey? Or are you just kind of going along, doing your job, minding your own business and when God calls you might reluctantly go along if He twists your arm enough? You might think that a ...read more

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 7, 2016

Sometimes God's plans are so much greater than our plans that all we can do is keep hoping, keep putting our faith in the One who always works for our good and his glory. As we cultivate a relationship with Christ, we build our faith muscles.

Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 Got Faith? Have you ever come down with a case of PCS-itis? You know what that is, right? PCS-itis is when every two or three years you start itching for a move. It’s in your blood. You’re not content to stay put. It may be simply moving down the block, or moving ...read more

We're Doing Life Together Series

Contributed by D. Greg Ebie on Aug 21, 2016

It’s one thing to believe God brings us together as the body of Christ for His glory, and it is another to act upon what you believe. We can believe all the right stuff, but faith without works is still dead right? Let's walk together in covenant.

Learning to Live in Covenant - We’re Doing Life Together Amos 3:3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?

S.d.g. Living

Contributed by Beth Garrod-Logsdon on Aug 17, 2009

J.S. Bach signed most of his sacred music "S.D.G." (Soli Deo Gloria). 1 Kings 3:1-15 and Ephesians 5:15-20 encourage us to live an S.D.G. life style - a life that gives glory to God alone.

And it’s even more difficult to imagine worshiping our Savior without the joyful sounds of singing. One of the greatest composers of sacred music was Johann ...read more

Taking A Look At Family

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012

There’s that thread again, “in the same way.” In what way are husbands to give honor to their wives? In the same way that gives God the glory and makes His name more famous in the community. The motive matters. If our homes look like God arranged them

1 Peter 3 is just one of many Scriptures that deal with our human families and the church family in the same context. One reason why the definition of marriage in our modern environment is so important is because God uses the analogy of human marriage to explain His divine relationship with his ...read more

Preparing To Take Our Test

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Apr 23, 2010

Tests will come but learn to walk in God’s truth. God will withhold no good thing from them who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk up

Preparing To Take Our Test Psalm 26:1-2 NAS 1 Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, And I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and try me; Test my mind and my heart. I have entitled this today: “Preparing To Take Our Test” Sooner or ...read more

The Power Of God

Contributed by Randy Shepard on Jul 9, 2018

A sermon that is part of my story interwoven with some theology of disability. I have Cerebral Palsy. The doctors told my parents that I would never walk or talk. God made me a preacher who walks just fine. Feel free to use my story for God's glory.

42 years ago today on July 1, 1976 there was a baby fighting for his life in the PICU at Saint Frances Hospital in Peoria. The baby had begun to breathe while still in the womb, and his lungs coated with fluid cutting off oxygen to the brain. The truth is that the doctors should have done a ...read more

Walk In A Manner Worthy Of Your Calling Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 17, 2021

Know your calling. Feel the full worth of God's grace in your life! See the cross in all of its glory and Christ's actions for securing your eternal salvation! The greatness of your calling should constrain you to lead a life worthy of His call.

Living A Humbled Life (Palm Sunday) Version 2

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 22, 2021

When we become Christians, hopefully, we come to the realization of our own vanity when we realize how the world really does not revolve around us! The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

LIVING A HUMBLED LIFE (Palm Sunday 2020) Text: Philippians 2:1-11 Philippians 2:5-11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, (6) who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (7) but emptied himself, by taking the ...read more

The Lord Of Hosts

Contributed by James Dina on Sep 19, 2020

O Lord of hosts, the King of glory, blessed is the man who trusts in You! ; you shall throughly plead his cause with his oppressors and give rest to his land. Our Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name.

THE LORD OF HOSTS “For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who treads on the high places of the earth, The Lord God of hosts is His name” (Amos 4:13). ‘Thus, says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his ...read more

Are You The King Of The Jews?

Contributed by Paul Green on Nov 27, 2021

Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more
