    You Cant Fool God Series

    Contributed by Dan Borchert on Nov 17, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,706 views

    We think we are so smart, we think we are able to pull a fast one on God. No we cant, God will find out, and we will have to deal with the consequences

    Acts 5:1-11 You Can’t Fool God Introduction A. Let me make a disclaimer here B. I do not like this passage C. Now John 3:16 – I like that, it make me feel good D. I like Romans 8:31-38 “What can separate me from the love of God?” E. Boy if that isn’t encouraging I don’t know what is F. Then we ...read more

    Real Life Evangelism Part 1 Series

     | 3,110 views

    Want to be a part of bringing God’s love to the world but think you have to be a missionary to the jungles of Africa to do it? Think again. Share the gospel without speaking a word.

    As I’ve said on numerous occasions, there are two purposes for redeemed humanity: to glorify God by becoming like Him, and to therefore be more effective in bringing others into relationship with Him. To do the first we must come into relationship with Jesus—invite Him to do a friendly takeover of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,771 views

    This message focuses on the truth that the choice is ours as it relates to how we think about our situations. And how we think about our situations will determines our responses to them.

    The Choice Is Ours Scripture: Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 37:24-25 The title of my message this morning is “the Choice Is Ours.” Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right.” I personally believe he came to this conclusion after ...read more

    Marriage: Build Up Your Spouse Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 10, 2022
     | 3,062 views

    Christianity is a call to be selfless. To think of others needs more highly than yourself. In Christian marriage we are called to think of our spouses needs before our own needs.

    We all know how easy it is to tear down. You could spend one hour building a sandcastle. It can be destroyed with one swift kick. It is easy to see the dust in someone else’s eye and overlook the plank in your own. In this message on Christian marriage I really just want you to look at half of it. ...read more

    Which Branch Do You Want To Be?

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Apr 28, 2021
     | 4,329 views

    As we think about Jesus being The Vine, this sermon challenges us to think about our relationship with Christ and how we move into closer relationship through our lives.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. One thing that I am not is green-fingered, I know how to mow a lawn, and how to pull up weeds, although if I’m being honest they are more likely to be flowers, and I know that roses should be pruned. I don’t know why this is the case, I just ...read more

     | 11,093 views

    In these sermon we will unpack a very familiar passage in Philippians 3 and discover 2 things that if we embrace and keep striving to live out, this year can be different... forgetting what is behind and pressing on to what is ahead.

    These Three Things #ThisYearCouldBeDifferent 700 years before Jesus put on flesh and invaded our planet, GOD breathed the following words through the prophet Isaiah… to a people who… • Had seen better days • Experienced great suffering • Lost hope • In many ways had no one to blame for their ...read more

    As we think about all that Luke 9 is about, I want you to please begin to think where you are at in your relationship with Jesus. I want to help you FOLLOW Jesus and so it is good to critique, pray, think, and ruminate on how we are doing in our relationship with God.

    HELPING PEOPLE FIND AND FOLLOW JESUS Luke 9:57-62 #followJesus THE PURPOSE OF CINCINNATI CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND AND FOLLOW JESUS INTRODUCTION Every year I like to start the year with focusing on the purpose of our church family.

    What do you think would happen, if Jesus Himself would be looking for someone?

    “Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, ’Do you believe in the Son of Man?’ He answered, ’And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’ Jesus said to him, ’You have seen him, and it is he who is speaking to you.’ He said, ‘Lord, I believe,’ ...read more

    Many thanks to my good friend, Pastor David Carter of The Rock Falls Church in Boiling Springs, SC for the thoughts in this sermon. When you practice Luke 6:38, go ahead and plan for the overflow!

    LUKE 6:38 “PLANNING FOR THE OVERFLOW” A) I think it is time we started emphasizing GIVING, instead of someone’s income! * We live in a world where our social standing is based on our income. * God is not interested in how much you make – He is interested in how much you give. * No one will be ...read more

    How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023
     | 1,045 views

    Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

    In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

    The Power Of The Cross Series

     | 2,747 views

    The power of the cross is so great that we've chosen to make this cross the emblem. We look at that cross and we don't just think about death, we think about life.

    I think there's something inside of all of our hearts that loves superheroes. I think that as I was growing up, I really liked the Old Testament Bible stories of Samson, David, Moses, and Joshua. Those are great stories. I can imagine the Jewish young men growing up, the disciples themselves ...read more

    Why Jesus Concentrated on Only Twelve Disciples by Paul Fritz Mark 3:14-3:14 In a world where bigger is usually assorted with better, it seems that Jesus might be considered a failure by today’s standards.

    We will all suffer for we live in a decaying world. Many will persecute Christians simply because they hated Jesus. Regardless, we must look ahead for to be glorified because the time for suffering won't last.

    Do we know and understand that God’s creation has/is patiently been waiting for God’s elect? They have been waiting for a long time, in fact for more than a couple millennium. They are waiting for us to join them. They are waiting for the curse to be over. Who then is waiting for us? The ...read more
