Sermons on Theological Meaning:

Bridegroom Of Blood Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 13, 2009

Being "in" the Will of God doesn’t necessarily mean that we aren’t distracted by human concerns and relationships.

Personally, I have a lot of trouble with the theological term, “the permissive will of God.” We usually apply it whenever someone has done something wrong or merely made a foolish, but not deliberate, choice and then, God makes something good out of the human mess. My problem with the term is that ...read more

The Second Command: Love Others

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

A second great command is issued by Jesus Christ in the gospels: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself?

John 13:34 (ESV) says “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” Christianity in it's essence is all about relationship between God and man. This relationship is cultivated through love exchanged between God and man. ...read more

Created In The Image Of God Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 8, 2022

This message looks at the concept of being created in the image of God, what that means and how the image becomes distorted.

In the Beginning. That’s where it all started and where God created all things. Now, I have no interest in dating when that creation may or may not have happened. Everybody has a theory. For me, it’s enough to believe that God created everything. That this world as we know it was not an ...read more

Press In Like Priscilla

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Nov 17, 2013

To press into the spiritual realm means we strive to be mature in Christ and in how we view things in life. It means we are in tune with God and His agenda for our lives and for the Kingdom of Heaven. It means we push through the tough times of life and in our faith and we don’t quit.

Strength With No Power

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on Dec 29, 2018

Power. The world puts a lot of value into the word. For us power can mean many things; the amount of influence a person has or the amount of physical capability a person possesses. It can mean how much a vehicle can move or haul, or the ability to influence world politics. It can mean many things.

I know a lot of people who are sports fans. Whether you are a fan of football, baseball, hockey, or soccer. Some people are fans of boxing, although I will admit I am more of a fan of UFC then boxing. And for every person who is a fan of a certain sport, they also have favorite teams and players. ...read more

You Hold The Key

One can see from these examples of binding and loosing that it means more than declaring something lawful or unlawful by preaching. It also means to confirm the truth by power as Christ and the apostles did.
