    In the midst of our "throw away" society, Jesus restores broken lives. Let Jesus give you a "before and after" story of restoration, renewal and hope.

    Intro: You have probably heard the story about the preacher who would put a breath mint in his mouth as he would step to the pulpit to begin to preach. Not only did this keep the preacher from having bad breath to offend his congregation as he would greet them at the conclusion of the mornings ...read more

    We are living in an increasingly mobile society. Things that anchored people for thousands of years are being changed, almost overnight. In the midst of this, people feel disconnected.

    As citizens of God’s kingdom we are given values that govern our lives. Those values are used to bring influence in an open society for the kingdom of God.

    Quest For Purpose Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,029 views

    Christians today have both a negative and a positive role in society. The negative role is to restrain evil. The positive role is to spread the Gospel and do good works.

    1. The first purpose God has for the church today is preservation 2. The second purpose God has for the church today is propagation MATTHEW 5:13-16 I’ve got a book at home called Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave. Some of the names might not ring a bell.

    How To Live Right

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,438 views

    Our thinking drives our behavior. Rather than blindly accepting the trends in our society, Christians should allow their thinking to be shaped by revelation in the word.

    How to Living Right Romans 12:1-3 6-28-09 I begin this message today with an assumption. My assumption is this: Deep in the heart of every Christian is the desire to live right before God. I can’t imagine someone who is truly born again not wanting to please God. When the cry “Abba Father” comes ...read more

     | 5,074 views

    The only way America will ever once again be defined by the words “In God We Trust” is for the people of God to choose to live out their faith in society.

    IN GOD WE TRUST Matthew 12:15-21 (The second in a sermon series from Matthew 12 called “Words We Live By”)* Sermon Objective: The only way America will ever once again be defined by the words “In God We Trust” is for the people of God to choose to live out their Biblical Faith in society -- in ...read more

    Ethics Must Be Integrated Into Economic Activity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2009
     | 2,600 views

    Just as the action of Herod and of abortionists shows the divorce of economics and ethics, so we must reintegrate ethics into economic activity, if we are to reclaim society for Christ

    December 28, 2009 Feast of the Holy Innocents Caritas in Veritate The timeliness of the Pope’s encyclical, Charity in Truth, and its match to our Monday Scriptures is truly remarkable. Aristotle, himself an unbeliever, used mere reason to arrive at some remarkable truths. One of them is that ...read more

     | 5,652 views

    Jesus redeems the unlovable, untouchable and unreachable in our society. He loves sinners but He does not want them to remain unclean like the leprous man.

    Now a leper came to Him, imploring (ðáñáêáëÝù - continually calling for help) Him, kneeling down ( falling down on knees continually) to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean. (êáèáñßîù to make clean)" Then Jesus, moved with compassion, (óðëáã÷íßîïìáé to be moved with ...read more

    Submission - The Who, What And Where Series

    Contributed by Thomas H on Oct 4, 2010
     | 6,341 views

    Submission is not a popular word in today’s society, yet it is a biblical concept. This sermon explains what biblical submission is and then applies it to how wives are to submit to their husbands.

    Ephesians 5:21-24 Wives submit to your husbands Well we have finally arrived at that famous or infamous - passage: Wives submit to your own husbands. Why is this passage so famous or infamous? Why is this passage controversial? Why is the whole idea of wives submitting to husbands is ...read more

    According to estimates of the American Society for Population Research (ASPR), there are 60 million people who die annually. That is about 2 deaths for every tick of the second.

    Intro: According to estimates of the American Society for Population Research (ASPR), there are 60 million people who die annually. That is about 2 deaths for every tick of the second. I’m 100% sure that each year you hear of someone you know that has died. Death is sure, life is short, sin brought ...read more

    Knowing God Through Obedience

     | 5,988 views

    In a society where independence, self-determination and equality are so important in our daily lives, how can something like obedience even still exist!

    KNOWING GOD THROUGH OBEDIENCE 1 John 2:3-6 3 We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him.

    What Do I Need To Know About Sex? Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 4, 2014
     | 3,882 views

    Since 'sex' is a topic we hear and read about everywhere in our society, doesn't it make sense we hear about it in church as well?

    “Getting A Clue: What Do I Need to Know About Sex?” Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:12-20 I imagine today’s sermon title, “What Do I Need to Know About Sex”- raised some eyebrows – and maybe even some temperatures. Some perhaps stayed away – some perhaps came ...read more

     | 4,494 views

    The birth of Jesus is a tiny part of the plan of salvation and yet it is a gigantic step in that it accomplishes the incarnation. Have we gotten the priorities reversed in the church as well as in society?

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

    "Love" has degenerated in our society. Only God's love can fill the emptiness. Satan hates love and has always tried to destroy it.

    Judge People? No! Love People and God! by Kelly Durant 2-15-15 Matt. 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the ...read more
