Preaching From Philippians # 12

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

All the nations on earth desire to have peace, but as you know, all nations do not have peace. There is a reason for that. For example, many Americans discovered during the Iraq war that peace comes at a high price. This is difficult for many Americans to comprehend because of two reasons:

(1) As Americans, we are used to watching Clint Eastwood ride into town on a horse, and in one hour clean up the meanest town in the west. We wonder why the United States military can’t do the same in one hour! (2) Americans see other nations are having wars on their streets, but we have never ...read more

How does a father feel, sacrificing his son, to war, or to a cross? Abraham faced that test, and passed. What could Isaac have been thinking during his father’s trial of faith? Let's look at Isaac's faith.

Share With Me

Contributed by Larry Grant on Oct 15, 2022

The world capitalized on our fears. Whether it’s the floods, fires or foreign interference in our elections, war in the East or the attempted overthrow of our government, Paul teaches, “Fear is NOT of GOD!” For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7-9 (NKJV) “SHARE WITH ME” October 16, 2022 Summary: Timothy was a young man who was being mentored by Paul.

At A Time And Place Of God's Choosing

Contributed by Don Campbell on Mar 22, 2023

Most wars are fought for one of three reasons—or a combination of this reasons: territory, ideology, theology. The word “territory” doesn’t always mean land. The Pharisees had carved out a territory, which they intended to defend at all costs (John 11:45-53).

Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 1, 2023

The cross wasn’t a tragic mistake. It didn’t “happen” to Jesus. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. Jesus died because He deliberately chose to lay down His life – and he made that choice at Gethsemane. The war was not over, but the battle was won at Gethsemane.

September 02, 2023 Today we are going to conclude the Gospels section of our series with Gethsemane. The Passover meal was over. Judas had left the group to make arrangements for the betrayal of Jesus. Now as the little party made their way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus made a startling ...read more

Holding Our Ground In The Faith,

Contributed by William Yates on Mar 24, 2004

We in America and in the church are in the midst of a great cultural war. How do we respond when we hear of gay marriages and gay pastors being ordained? We can learn from 1 Chronicles 11 that we need to not retreat, but rather hold the high ground.

Holding Our Ground in the Faith Note: I am a United Methodist pastor who wrote this sermon in response to a recent ruling to allow a gay pastor to retain her ministry in the church. Though this message exhorts United Methodists to take a stand against a few radical elements within our fold, I ...read more

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 29, 2010

Advent 1987: Many of us live with deep disappointments, profoundly wounded spirits. Whole nations so live, thanks to the scourge of war. Christ, the Word Made Flesh, does more than tell us to "get over it." He stands beside us, with us.

Jim, as I will call him, was a successful pastor, acclaimed for his preaching skill, sought out for his wisdom, almost worshipped by the flocks of young adults who came to the church he served. It seemed he could do no wrong and that he had it all together, from here on out. Nothing, it seemed, ...read more

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

So, do I have to go to the heart of Africa or some other war ravaged, AIDS ridden, refugee overrun, starving hordes kind of country before I can show mercy? I hope not! Is that unmerciful? What does being merciful really mean?
