Debate Over The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 19, 2017

Jesus remained under attack from the Pharisees. Their demands for adherence to unbiblical standards clouded their vision and desire for Christ. Sadly these attitudes remain today. While we must adhere to doctrine, the Lord affords liberty through grace.

Debate over the Sabbath Mark 2: 23-28 Have you dealt with a season in life when others acted as if you could do nothing right? Surely we have experienced times when people criticized our efforts or challenged our motives. It seems as if everything we tried to accomplish was met with skepticism and ...read more

God Is Our Bunker

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 2, 2021

Friend, there are million things attacking our homes, children, marriage, church, ministry and health today, mere walls cannot save us, we need today the hands of God to protect us, say Hallelujah. Never be too smart, smug and snobbish to think you can make it without God’s protection.

Hedge of protection! Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan answered the LORD and said, "From roaming about on the earth and walking ...read more

I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.

What I am writing down here is the product of a message I originally presented to a group of men and women during a chapel service at our local rescue mission. The topic of marriage was probably not on their list of favorites for the fact that many of them had left abusive and toxic ...read more

When The Glory Of God Departs Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 2, 2024

The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?

- It’s worth noting as I get started this evening that this is a wild chapter with a lot of interesting and unusual details. Those parts of the chapter are worth a Bible study unto themselves to unpack those meanings. This sermon, though, is not that Bible study. - Instead, we will be focusing ...read more

Throw Out The Old, Bring In The New

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 31, 2022

All over the world people have traditions of throwing out the old and bringing in the new. It's a scriptural practice -- 2 Cor. 5:17. We need to have DEEP SORROW for sin, to UTTERLY FORSAKE our sins, and to TRUST IN JESUS for pardon.

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon explores how grumbling and complaining can undermine God's grace and poison the heart, using examples from the Bible and popular culture to illustrate the importance of focusing on gratitude and grace.
