    "fear"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Apr 19, 2022
     | 3,671 views

    A sermon about overcoming fear through the Risen Christ.

    “Fear” John 20:19-31 Our Gospel Lesson this morning begins on the evening of Easter. The doors are shut; they are “locked for fear of the Jewish leaders.” And this is understandable. The disciples were, after-all, followers of this Man who the Jewish leaders hated—hated enough for them to ...read more

    Paul writes a letter to the church in Thessalonians about their problems that they were having, and in his writing he was informing them that judgement was coming.

    Paul writes a letter to the church in Thessalonians about their problems that they were having, and in his writing he was informing them that judgement was coming. The purpose of judgment is to rectify injustices. You see the believers at Thessalonica were suffering fierce persecution and all kinds ...read more

    The resurrection peace of our lord Jesus Christ, who dies so that we may have everlasting life.

    SHALOM…PEACE How often has Jesus warned us of the hatred of the world as He experienced it , how He was persecuted so we shall be as well. His disciples feared for their lives after the crucifixion, locking themselves in the upper room, waiting… Are we as individuals and a church sitting behind ...read more

    "who's Number One?"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 2, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,675 views

    A sermon about humility.

    “Who’s Number One?” Mark 9:33-37 I love that the writers of the Gospels included this story. It teaches us so much, and it also holds a mirror up to me—perhaps to all of us as human beings. There is no place for judgment here, for who of us hasn’t found ourselves vying for the best places, ...read more

    "Finding Our Way Home" Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,348 views

    We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

    “Finding our way Home” Luke 15 A good friend of mine and I drove all the way to Detroit to see a baseball game. I had never been to the old Tiger’s stadium and they were playing my favorite team so we made the trek. I took my car and getting to Detroit was not a problem but ...read more

    Confidence Within The Chaos

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 26, 2016
     | 14,946 views

    Life is filled with uncertainty. In fact, life can be chaotic at times. It is easy to lose focus and stumble among the chaos. Fortunately, we do not have to succumb to the uncertainties; we can overcome in Christ.

    Confidence within the Chaos John 16: 32-33 We have read a passage from one of my favorite sections of Scripture. Beginning in chapter thirteen, and going through chapter seventeen of John, we find an intimate account of the last hours Jesus spent with His disciples prior to His arrest, trial, and ...read more

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 13, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,004 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    What a wonderful passage it is that we find in the third chapter of Romans. Atonement, justification and by connection, salvation through the work of Jesus on the cross and by faith in Him. What an awesome truth.

    Last week - we spoke about Atonement from the perspective of the Old Testament and the New Testament This week we will take a look at Justification / Salvation from the very same Scripture Atonement is the foundation for Justification / Salvation Romans 3:21-26 (read from the Bible) Francis ...read more

    Obedience: The Evidence Of His Love

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 6, 2017
    based on 10 ratings
     | 25,186 views

    Obedience which does not proceed from genuine love to Christ has no reality in it; it is not the genuine offspring of the heart, the real act of the soul. It lacks the essential motive and inspiration of all Christian deeds.

    OBEDIENCE: THE EVIDENCE OF HIS LOVE Study Text: John 14: 15 - 21 Introduction: - Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command”. Three motives for obedience exist: We can obey because we have to; we can obey because we need to; or we can obey because we want to. - A slave obeys because ...read more

    A perspective on the parable Luke 16: 1-13; The parable of the shrewd manager. The story builds up to a bunch-line. What is the punch-line in this parable? It is the focal point for discussion and the opportunity for Jesus to bring healing into your life.

    A Perspective on: The Parable of the Shrewd Manager What is a parable? A parable is a story with the intent of informing the listener something about life. The parables that Jesus spoke compared earthly life to the Kingdom of God and the way to salvation. Many stories throughout the Bible ...read more
