Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 10 – Two Treacherous Sisters Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 3, 2024

The heart of God yearned for repentance and Israel's return from idolatry. Israel was carried away in judgement, and Judah did not learn. It was so joined to idolatry that God kept likening it to an adulterous wife He would receive back if the nation repented. Faithless, treacherous Judah.

Paul’s Concern For The Church At Corinth

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

All churches are delighted to have visitors. Why do visitors excite them? Probably because they are hoping the visitors will become regulars and be used of God to enhance His work in a tremendous way.

All over this country today God is leading CERTAIN PEOPLE to CERTAIN CHURCHES because they can make valuable contributions to these churches. As God leads people to join the church, we need to ask, “WHAT SHOULD THEY BE LOOKING FOR WHEN THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH TO JOIN?” Many have their own ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025

The Road To Hell... Where Does It Lead?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 5, 2025

The title of my sermon is asking a question, the question is, the road to hell, where does it lead? This will not be a Joel Osteen sermon. I will show you from the Word of God the answer to that question, “the road to hell, where does it lead” in a few minutes.

But I want to ask you another question, how did the Lord Jesus preach His sermons when He was here on earth? We do not have to do any surmising, to find the answer to that question, all we have to do is turn to the scriptures. How? It depended on who He was preaching too… (1)HE PREACHED SOFT ...read more

Is God's Grace Cheap?

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Jul 22, 2001

The nature of God’s grace does not give us an excuse to sin.

In the preceding chapters of the Epistle to the Romans, Paul has shown that salvation is purely of grace (undeserved kindness). Because we are saved by grace we can know that our salvation is eternally secure. But there are many who do not believe in the doctrine of eternal security (maybe ...read more

What Does It Mean To Be "In Christ"?

Contributed by Bruce Willis on Dec 21, 2006

This sermon seeks to contrast the difference in the persons life who is "in Christ" as opposed to one who is "in Adam" from the perspective of The Exchanged Life.

So my question and the subject of this sermon is: “What does it mean to be in Christ?” For a couple of weeks now, I’ve talked about what it means to be “in Adam.” In fact, 1 ...read more

New Clothes/New Image

Contributed by Michael Trask on Dec 12, 2005

We sense that we’ve got an image problem. Like Adam and Eve before us, we try to fix it with clothing. But it can only be truly fixed with the garments of Salvation which our Lord provides through his Son Jesus

“I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.” Does this look all right? Do these go together or do they clash? Does this make me look fat? These are the kinds of questions we impose upon ...read more
