The Dark Side Of Doubt

Contributed by Davon Huss on Jul 11, 2005

A sermon on doubt (Material taken from Gary Habermas’ book, Dealing with Doubt)

It is one of the strangest phenomena that you could ever discover that in the Bible, from beginning to ending, there is never any argument, any defense, any presentation, any discussion concerning the existence and the reality and the being of God, never.

Biblical Authority

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007

This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more

Obedient Unto Death

Contributed by David Brockhouse on Apr 3, 2008

The Lenten season bares the skeletons of our disobedience in more ways than one; it Illuminates the one who was “obedient, even unto death on a cross” for our salvation. It also illuminates the less than stellar attitudes and behaviors we are prone to dis

The Sarcasm Of Jesus (Luke 13:31-35)

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 2, 2007

It doesn’t take much to twist genuine faith into something sick and destructive. There is a fine line between an unshakeable faith in a God who will never let His holy city.

The Marks Of Great Faith

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Mar 1, 2008

When one is told that their faith is great, it bears our study and meditation. What were the marks of this Canaanite ladies’ faith? There are at least four marks of great faith!

The Marks of Great Faith Matthew 15:21-28 Jesus Christ did not exaggerate or mince words. He spoke the truth and the truth alone. When He applauds someone’s faith as "great," then it ought to make us take notice. Only twice, both with Gentiles, does Jesus Christ call someone’s faith "great." ...read more
