Two Kinds Of Love

Contributed by George Warner on Sep 17, 2025

Jesus Christ was an Open Rebuker

The Bible says that charity rejoices not in iniquity but rejoices in truth (1 Corinthians 13:6). Today's open borders & uncontrolled migration fanatics don't seem to know the difference between rational love and irrational love. An example of rational love is this : An atheist sinner ...read more

A Tale Of Two Fathers

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jun 16, 2025

I don’t want to look at Lot’s life to denigrate or belittle him for the mistakes he made, but that we might learn some practical lessons for our own lives.

TITLE: A TALE OF TWO FATHERS SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 13:1-18 Lot was the son of Haran. Haran was Abraham’s brother. Abraham and Lot were both saved men, but Lot was like many of the fathers today.

A Tale Of Two Churches

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jul 5, 2025

A Sermon for a Church who have just recieved a new priest (not me) - that the secret of growth won't be him - it will be them.

Who here would like St Jo’s to grow? [presume lots of hands go up] So [go round asking people] what would it be like if St Jo’s grew significantly? [take a reasonable number of answers to unpack the question – before returning to the sanctuary] Jesus stands in the middle of the crowd and says ...read more

A Tale Of Two Kings

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

There would have appeared to be no contest in a contest between the great King Herod and the little baby Jesus. But Jesus' power of humility and holiness and obedience to God, displayed at Christmas was greater then and continues today.

Our text for this morning is Luke 2:1-7, the story of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ. You’ve probably heard it many, many times before. Can there be anything new in it, any way that this ancient text relates to our world today? Let’s see. I encourage you to open your Bible to it as Linda ...read more

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

The Two Sides Of Prayer

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 4, 2022

. Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. –Author unknown.

The Two Sides of Prayer By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Oftentimes prayer is the most neglected area in a person’s life. The lack of prayer has weakened our spiritual body and because of this we often find ourselves spiritually feeble, without strength and even the crumbling of our ...read more

In Christ (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

In part one of In Christ, I talked about how being in Christ means we live a new life. And in Christ there is now no condemnation. However, we need to keep the faith and persevere to the end. I conclude with the fact that in Christ we are blessed and we are one.

Two Kinds Of Appearances

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

Two Revealing Prayers Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

Two Ways To Live Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 19, 2023

Message 7 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

If you have grown up in church, there is a good chance that somewhere along the way, you have heard this phrase, “Be in the world, but not of the world.” And depending on what church you grew up in, that could mean all kinds of things…but let’s be honest, sometimes that idea is what turns ...read more

#62 Two Rocks Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 13, 2022

In the story of Jesus being brought to His Jewish trial, Mark portrays two “rocks” – Jesus the solid rock and Peter, the “cracked rock.” This sermon contrasts the steadfastness of Jesus to Peter’s denials and challenges us to think about what these two examples teach us in our lives personally.
