But Christ!

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 6, 2019

The way into the Holiest.

BUT CHRIST! Hebrews 9:1-14. We have been comparing and contrasting the new covenant with the old, the heavenly tabernacle with the earthly; the substance with its shadow (cf. Hebrews 8:1-13). Also the ministry of Jesus with that of Aaron (cf. Hebrews 5:1-10). In this passage we see ...read more

Preparing For Christ’s Return Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2010

When Jesus returns to take His people to heaven, we must be ready. Spiritual preparation cannot be bought or borrowed at the last minute. The story of how the 5 virgins missed it all is perfectly true to life. It gives us the imagery of how we need to be

Love In Large Denominations

Contributed by Michael Hollinger on Jun 25, 2006

We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.

I have a confession to make. I have not been looking forward to Free Church as I ought. I remember when I attended my first one eight years ago, I looked forward to it. But nowadays, sometimes it seems like it’s getting just a little bit old. It’s tempting to say that the idea has had its day and ...read more

Psalm 8 - What Is Man? Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 19, 2022

This sermon focuses on the Majesty of God and how believers experience their sense of identity in the context of God's majesty and through their belief in Jesus Christ.

We have been spending time in the Psalms this summer and since the summer is ending, we are also winding the Psalms down to an end. Last week we looked Psalm 90; the whole idea of the brevity of life. I have to admit it was probably a little bit of a downer to talk about the shortness of life. ...read more

Why I Am No Longer An Evangelical

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jun 2, 2008

The Evangelical movement has been slipping from its moorings for many years. I believe the departure from orthodoxy is now complete and it is time to separate ourselves from much that is proclaimed under the banner of “Evangelical Christianity.”

Note carefully the indefinite article. This sermon will examine Evangelical the noun. I am not speaking about being evangelical. In that sense, the word evangelical is an adjective describing ones attitude toward sharing the gospel. I am not repudiating my Christian faith, but rather the ...read more

What Happens When We Die?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Mar 11, 2012

Is there life after death? Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life. We are all going to die? But will we all live again? What do philosophers and religion say about life after death? What does the Bible tell us?

What Happens When We Die? Job 14:14 “If a man dies will he live again?” Is this all there is to life? What happens when we die? If we die is that it? Are we simply absorbed into the cosmos? What lies beyond the grave? Is there life after death? Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life. ...read more

The Problem Of Sin Series

Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Feb 12, 2020

Paul’s point in our text today is that when it comes to sin, we are all in it together. We are all sinners and stand guilty before God.

THE PROBLEM WITH SIN Text: Rom. 3:9-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: One of the greatest powers of rationalization ever seen is the ability of people to explain away their sin. Our society finds all types of excuses, like poor parenting, social disadvantages, mistreatment by others and so on. ...read more

Wisdom From Above: Living In Light Of The Victory Of Jesus Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Ah wisdom, who can have it? Who can live wisely in such a strange corner of the universe? Who can live on this place they call Earth? More so, who can live rightly?

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
