     | 2,948 views

    To show that GOD gives distinction between the old and new covenant, we wait for GOD, not GOD waiting for us, because He is KING OF KINGS to come for us.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you king? JESUS CHRIST is KING OF KINGS, and I am His king. 1 Timothy 6:15 (Amplified Bible) Which [appearing] will be shown forth in His own proper time by the blessed, only Sovereign (Ruler), the King of kings and the Lord of lords, 1 Peter 2:9 (Amplified Bible) But you are ...read more

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 9, 2016
     | 15,856 views

    When David became complacent his heart for God turned to a heart for self.

    I want to start today with a story entitled “Kierkegaard's Complacent Duck.” According to his parable, one spring, a duck was flying north with a flock. In the Danish countryside that particular duck spotted a barnyard where tame ducks lived. The duck dropped down and he discovered ...read more

    The matriarch of the Hebrew family has much to teach the Christian disciple concerning faith. This sermon explores the power of faith lived out in this woman's life.

    Let’s see…a guy preaching on putting women in their place. What could possibly go wrong? Wait! Don’t answer that question. I already know the answer. We talk about putting women in their place, and our minds, unfortunately, return to a less pleasant time in history. Culture even ...read more

    Is Our Faith Blind ? Part I Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,505 views

    This sermon is basically a defense of God's holy word. Our faith is not blind because we have a love letter from God explaining in great detail who He is and what kind of relationship we are to have with our Creator.

    IS OUR FAITH BLIND – PART I Atheists Question: Isn’t faith in God blind? After all, what evidence is there that a God you cannot touch or see actually exists? You might begin speaking to atheists by mentioning the fact that the Bible is a personal love letter from God in which our ...read more

    The Distant Disciple - Nicodemus

    Contributed by Steve Wilson on Mar 16, 2016
     | 5,820 views

    Though it is difficult for us to relinquish control of our lives to this one who lived long ago (Jesus), it was even more difficult to do so when He walked on this earth. That was especially true for a prominent ruler of the Jews by the name of Nicodemus.

    Introduction • Read John 3:12-16; 7:45-53; 19:38-42 • To you, I hope, Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, your Savior and your Lord.

    The Spirit In The Epistles

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 10, 2015
     | 3,278 views

    The Epistles of Paul, Peter, and John contained the teaching and understanding of the closest individuals to the outpouring, of what the dispensation of the Spirit was all about. Their concept of what “Life in the Spirit” is all about is key to entering into the same kind of experience.

    THE SPIRIT IN THE EPISTLES PART 1: “LIFE IN THE SPIRIT” INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One day a young man who had his ears, nose, and even his tongue pierced went into an ophthalmologist’s office to buy contact lenses. 2. After the optometrist completed the eye exam, she told this ...read more

    Spiritual warfare is confined to within us. Satan is defeated and powerless unless we chose to give him his power back. This sermon looks at 5 ways we can do that.

    Let me begin today with a reminder of what Sun Tzu wrote in his book “The Art of War.” “It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; ...read more

    From Death To Life Series

     | 5,796 views

    THIS IS THE SECOND OF A TWO-PART SERMON ON PAUL'S TEACHING ON SANCTIFICATION. HE USES BAPTISM TO TEACH THAT AS CHRISTIANS WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE DOMINION OF SIN BECAUSE WE UNITE WITH CHRIST, NOT JUST IDENTIFY WITH HIM, IN HIS DEATH, THROUGH BAPTISM.

    FROM DEATH TO LIFE WE NEED TO REMEMBER AS WE START TODAY, THAT THE BOOK OF ROMANS IS A LETTER THAT ORIGINALLY HAD NO CHAPTER OR VERSE BREAKS. WHEN WE GET TO THE END OF CHAPTER FIVE, IT DOES NOT MEAN WE’VE REACHED THE END OF PAULS THOUGHT ON THIS ISSUE. LISTEN WHEN I READ THE LAST TWO ...read more

     | 31,887 views

    We cannot be saved without God’s wondrous grace. All that is expected of us is to accept in faith what the Lord is offering us. It is completely beyond the ability of man to save himself

    THE WONDERS OF HIS GRACE Study Text: Ephesians 2: 8 – 9 Introduction: - When we think of the grace of God, our minds are generally drawn to the great passage in Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as ...read more

    The heart of this stanza in the Lord’s Prayer is the distrust of the self. And because I don’t trust myself, I rush into the presence of God as my refuge from temptation.
