The Name Of The Lord

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 29, 2017

A theme in the bible dating back to the third generation when "people began calling on the name of the Lord." It is vitally important to recognize the importance of the Lord's name--it is "hallowed." By calling on it we are saved.

Living While Waiting

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025

Because the Day of the Lord will come suddenly, our anticipation of that Day must shape this day—so we strive to be holy, think rightly, watch carefully, and grow steadily.

His burden is simple and weighty: that we live holy lives that honor the Lord Jesus and are not swept away by the immorality, false teaching, and scoffing around us. How do we do that in a world soaked ...read more

The Cost Of Discipleship

This sermon looks at the rejection of the Samaritans, and examines the excuses of the three would be disciples. This sermon has some illustrations to draw the hearer back in, and helps to apply the text to the life of the hearer in their baptismal identity.

Three Strikes But Not Out!

Contributed by John Bartol on Jan 26, 2013

Insights into the fall of Simon Peter through his threefold denial of Christ. How God used the crowing of a rooster, the look of Christ and the prayer of Christ to bring Peter back with tears of heartfelt repentance.

Three Strikes But Not Out. In our Scripture readings we have seen this truth illustrated in the life of Peter, one of Jesus disciples. At the Last Supper, Jesus said to his disciples. “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: I will strike the ...read more

The monks at a remote monastery deep in the woods followed a rigid vow of silence. Their vow could only be broken once a year – on Christmas – by one monk. That monk could speak only one sentence. One Christmas, Brother Thomas had his turn to speak and said, “I love the delightful ...read more

Rolling Up His Sleeves Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 17, 2008

16% of Americans think of God as being critical and uncaring. Another 25% believe Him to be distant and unwilling to intercede in human affairs. But how does this contrast with the message of Isaiah?

Meeting Our Sins Again

Contributed by Ed Wood on May 31, 2007

You can sin and think God has forgotten all about it, but someday you’ll be forced to “meet them again” and pay the price He demands.

MEETING OUR SINS AGAIN Genesis 42:21 INTRO: Many people today have reversed their thinking about God. Once they thought of Him as almighty and just, a God who punished sin. But not all people feel that way today. God is looked upon as a soft and sentimental old grandfather, a Santa Claus ready to ...read more

Leper Healed; His Response Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 10, 2017

Leprosy was believed to be God’s chastisement for sins that were committed by the person. That type of thinking removed compassion and sympathy for the leper. They were likely to be stoned, if they got too close.
