    Spiritual Weapons For Obeying Christ PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 25, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 36 views

    True victory in life’s battles comes through prayer and relying on God’s spiritual weapons, surrendering every thought to Christ rather than fighting in our own strength.

    Some battles thunder. Others whisper. Some arrive like a storm front on the horizon. Others slip in through the crack beneath the door, like worry, like weariness, like the what-ifs that wake us at 2:13 a.m. You know those skirmishes, don’t you? The ones between your ears and behind your ribs. The ...read more

    Sermon # 4 - In God's True Image Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 290 views

    God’s image in us as human beings is what makes us special. But, we should also bear in mind that we are the temple of the living God and He dwells within us. Only when we live in total obedience to His word will all of our confusions be turned to peace and rest.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) The word of God counsels us ...read more

    Fear

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 3, 2019
     | 8,937 views

    This message is about fear and how our thoughts of fear generates the actual feelings of fear which we act on. God has not given us a spirit of fear and this message discusses how His Word addresses fear in our lives.

    FEAR Scriptures: 2 Timothy 1:7; Luke 12:22-32; 1 John 4:18 • You drive to the wrong side of town by mistake and when you realize where you are your heart starts racing. Why? • You receive a phone call from the IRS leaving you a message asking you to call them ASAP and it’s not a scam caller and ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,054 views

    In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

    A Journey Towards Transformation?“The Damascus Road” Acts 9:1-19 Thinking about this whole idea that we’ll be exploring in our Easter message, “God Will Make a Way,” the concept of the various roads that both Jesus and His disciples took up to and following His resurrection came to mind.

    1. Direct your delight to the Lord (vs. 4-5). 2. Take your troubles to the Lord (vs. 6-7). 3. Turn your thoughts to the good things of God (vs. 8). 4. Follow the footsteps of the faithful (vs. 9).

    Sowing & Reaping Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 12, 2009
    based on 55 ratings
     | 42,013 views

    The creation precept built into the very fabric of all creation, both physical & spiritual, is that a person reaps after the same manner & nature that they sow. Every thought, attitude or action has its own reproductive cycle. You reap what you sow.

    GALATIANS 6: 6-8 SOWING AND REAPING The principle of reciprocity is certainly being taught here. Though the initial thought is that their ministers should have a material return for what they spiritually sow in the life of the believers the principle extends beyond that arena. The creation ...read more

    1. Have you ever thought about what our proper response should be to the long-suffering of God? There are grave consequences for failing to properly understand and respond to God’s great patience.

     | 15,110 views

    Speaking to those who are ’sure’ in their faith (not mature, but sure), Paul directs our attention to the Israelites in the wilderness who thought the same thing. We are invited to examine our faith journey.

    Bibliography: Finding Christ, Finding Life: covenant & community Tonight I am speaking to those who are sure in their faith. Notice I said those who are sure in their faith, not those who are mature in their faith. Although sometimes the two terms go together, tonight we make a distinction ...read more

    After the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus told his disciples to pick up the fragments and place them into a basket. Why? Three thoughts: To remind them of their miracle, their mission, and of their Manna from Heaven.

    Title: “A Basket Case” After the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus told his disciples to pick up the fragments and place them into a basket. Why? Here are three simple, but profound, thoughts that God laid upon my heart to share with you today. 1. To remind them of the Miracle. In Mark 8, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,694 views

    This message deals with the thought that Communio is all about God and not about us. Additionally, the Corinthians church was acting in such a way that communion was divisive and thus did more harm than good for the local church.

    SEATED AT CHRIST’S TABLE 1 CORINTHIANS 11:17-34 INTRODUCTION: Last week we looked at the beginning of this chapter as an introduction to this section of 1 Corinthians, from chapter 11 through chapter 14. The major thought is that of public worship, and our propriety or activity in that worship. ...read more

    I have divided my thoughts on this text into two divisions: Three things that you can plan on. And seven things that you cannot plan on. Spontaneous worship is the essence of revival!

    Title: "Spontaneous Worship" Introduction: We do not know for certain who the woman was in this text, but we do know for certain that we will see her in Heaven and that her example has made a great impact on Christ and his Church. Tradition has it that it was Mary Magdalene in the text. I have ...read more

     | 2,922 views

    Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.

    Title: Once, for all! Scripture: Romans 6:9-14 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves ...read more
