    The Simplicity Of The Gospel

    Contributed by David Scudder on Apr 25, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,420 views

    If we are not careful, we can be so tangled up in a long string of religious ideas and rules that we wind up confused and discouraged. Many things about Christianity and the Bible are very complicated, the Gospel is not complicated.

    Purpose: To explain the meaning of the Gospel. Aim: I want the listener to commit (or re-commit) his life to spreading the Gospel and rejoicing in the resurrected Christ. INTRODUCTION: Life can get very complicated. An illustration of this is a traffic sign at an intersection of two superhighways ...read more

    Faith Sermon 01/2014

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jan 29, 2014
     | 5,404 views

    The Old Testament was all about rules and regulations....the dos and don’ts for a relationship with God.....but, every man that God used throughout the scriptures failed at some point and time except Jesus

    Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 By ...read more

    Failure Of Judah Series

     | 14,737 views

    After the death of Joshua, the nation of Israel was ruled by judges, or heroic military deliverers, for about 300 years until the united monarchy was established under King Saul. The era of the judges was a time of instability and moral depravity . . .

    Chapter 1 Failure of Judah [Judges 1:1-1.20] Scripture 1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? 2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have ...read more

    Follow Me!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 22, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,702 views

    Jesus' call of the first disciples reminds us that God takes the initiative to pursue us; that God calls us into relationship, not rules; and that God's mission becomes our mission: to teach, preach, and heal a hurting world.

    Matthew 4:18-23 Follow Me Today we’re talking about fishermen. Anyone here like to fish? Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune. The first day they go ...read more

    Establishing A Covenant Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,532 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    What Are You Wearing? Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,800 views

    The Galatians were clothed with Christ, but they'd been convinced that Jesus wasn't enough. Someone had told them they needed to follow rules and laws to be acceptable to God. Why was that false?

    OPEN: Jesus told a parable about KING who invited everybody to his son’s wedding. Now, I’ve been told that the custom of the day was for the host to supply his guests with appropriate wedding garments, but Matthew 22:11 tells us “when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who ...read more

    Dealing With Ocd Series

     | 3,613 views

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

    Benedictine Monks had rules for just how much each monk was to eat in the monastery. But if one monk takes more than his share of the limited food, another monk goes without dinner lunch.

    We are continuing our teaching series around the Seven Deadly Sins of Family. This is the fifth in the series. Our fifth deadly sin for families is greed. The Sin of Greed In the iconic 1987 film, Wall Street, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas gives an affirming speech in favor of greed. ...read more

     | 229 views

    Sometimes I feel a sermon I could never preach. This is one of them. The Jezebel Spirit tries to rule the spiritual atmosphere. Beware, the 10 gradual downward spiral that can become a trap. The crucible is sure.

    The Beauty Of Christian Life

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,104 views

    The reason why many Christians, who claim to be holy, look miserable and depressed and long-faced is that they try to produce a sort of holiness by themselves through some rules made by men. They live again under law.

    The happiest person ever walked on the face of this earth is Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that He was the wealthiest, healthiest, most handsome and most influential person ever lived! But the joy of his life was centred completely on his trust in his Father (God Almighty). Jesus was not moved ...read more

     | 43 views

    This sermon explores the ultimate demonstration of God's power in the resurrection and supreme exaltation of Christ, who now rules over all creation and has been given as a gift to be the Head of His body, the church.

    Introduction We’ve all seen images of a presidential inauguration. It’s a moment of immense significance, where a leader officially takes their oath and assumes the highest office in the land. At that moment, all the authority of the state is publicly vested in them. Their word becomes law, and ...read more

    Following The Shepherd Part 4 Of 6

    Contributed by Larry Elder on Jul 12, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,085 views

    Some feel they are better than others. They don’t hurt people, lead a good life and don’t break the rules. Comparing ourselves to “others” we might think we might look pretty righteous.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    Scriptural principles to make life better. 1- Stay cool, don’t blow your cool 2- Try faith, don’t let faithlessness rule 3- Be possessed, don’t give in to obsession

    INTRO.- ILL.- I like the story about the preacher who had a microphone in his hand as he preached, and as he moved around the platform he would jerk the cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles ...read more

    Scripture is verbally inspired of God and is the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. The world is trying it’s best to live without the Bible, unfortunately too many Christians attempt the same thing.

    The Scriptures Inspired Intro.: There are incredible stories of wealthy people who live in poverty (not wanting to spend their own money). Whereas, we, as Christians, live as paupers when we have the greatest wealth in the world, the Bible. The Bible has been a target for persecution for ...read more

     | 6,988 views

    This message warns us not to depend on a list of rules, which only makes things worse, but to depend on the Lord, who alone can change us from the inside out as He lives His life through us.

    Freedom’s Power (Galatians 2:11-21) Several years ago, the Chicago Tribune, ran an article about the religious history of the Chicago area. It began with a paragraph about Zion, a small town north of the city: “Rev. John Alexander Dowie left little to chance a century ago, when the charismatic ...read more
