    Love Never Pretends!! (Hix)

    Doesn't matter if you can preach good, or use long 50 cent words, that nobody understands, if they don’t love! What good is it? I've known preachers, that love to hear themselves talk, but I'm not sure, they love the ones they're talking too!!

    1 Cor. 13:1-3-Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have ...read more

    What Exactly Are You Doing In The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death Anyway?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 31, 2014

    Sometimes we do not hear what God is saying to us unless we hear what he is not saying to us. To understand, we need now to go through some highs and some lows, especially the valley of the shadow of death to appreciate what a loving God we have. Read on.

    This sermon was delivered to the congregation in St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 15th May 2011: by Gordon McCulloch (A Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    Anybody Can Become Somebody In God's Hand

    The story of Joseph proves that everyone has a shot at being someone great - at starting all over when in God's Hand. And one thing I do not understand is just how God does it. How He takes the low-borns and makes them heroes? Relax in God's hands, folks.

    "He Has Risen, Truth For Those Behind Locked Doors”

    Sunday morning 2000 years ago, the disciples of Jesus are hiding in a locked room. They were without hope. They were afraid to go out into the streets. On this Easter we can understand their fear as we sequester behind closed doors shuttered windows. Quotes from B. Graham & C. Colson

    He is Risen! He has risen indeed! The world has tried to cancel Easter and shutter church doors. Easter cannot be canceled… 2000 years ago all the forces of hell tried that and it failed. The forces of evil tried to kill the infant Jesus. Their plan failed. The same forces of evil ...read more

    Faith. What Is It Really?

    Contributed by Michael Brown on Oct 24, 2020
     | 3,502 views

    I'm doing a study on Roman 14:23 which touches on faith. It says that anything that is not of faith is a sin. To get a better understanding of this verse we need to know God's definition of FAITH. I did research on that word & this sermon/definition is what I found.

    We've all heard people say you have to have faith to make something happen. Faith is important to our Lord too. He devoted an entire chapter in the Book of Hebrews to it. To fully understand faith we should know God's definition of it. The Lord defines faith in Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews ...read more

    Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Corinthians 3:11) "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (Proverbs 23:24) "The ...read more

    As a child, our parents disciplined us from time to time as we needed correction. It often was not well taken by us, but over time we began to understand why we. Sometimes the discipline was more severe than before. God has disciplined mankind likewise. And, He still does.

    Decisions That Shape Your Life SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 7, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,675 views

    Choice is a gift from God, beginning with His decision to place the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden. This gift was passed on to mankind, and the choices we make daily shape our future. God's gift of choice is a central theme in our lives, and understanding this can lead to a more fulfilling future.

    The topic of today's sermon is "Choice." Choice is something that originates from God. God made the choice to place the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the center of the garden, ensuring that Adam and Eve couldn't miss it. And God passed on this gift of choice to humanity. The choices we make ...read more

    The Truth About Grace

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Oct 13, 2023
     | 2,743 views

    I spent years in Church not understanding what God's grace does in the life of a Christian. I was surprised when I learned grace DOES NOT COVER my sins. Before you stop reading here, read the message and then decide for yourself what grace is doing in your life.

    The Truth About Grace Scripture: Romans 1:17-18; Titus 2:11-12; Ephesians 3:20; Hebrews 13:9 When Paul opened his letter to the Christians in Rome, he wrote, “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.’” (Romans 1:17) ...read more

    The Jesus Of The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 17, 2025
     | 576 views

    Try as we might, we can't make Jesus into just anything we want Him to be. If we would meet, follow and worship the real Jesus, we must understand that He is the Jesus of the Bible, the Living Word of God, for to believe anything else will result in wasted worship.

    “You don’t get your own personal Jesus!” In spite of what a recent “He gets us” television ad says, that’s the emphatic title of a little booklet written by popular east-coast Baptist Pastor J. D. Grear. He confesses that he first said it, actually yelled it in the middle of a television ...read more

    Sermon # 13 - The Way Of The Cross Part 2 - Standing Around The Cross Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 583 views

    Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

    We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more
