Why Being Good Matters Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more

Praiseworthy Pride Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

A legitimate pride is a completely personal matter, and does not depend upon anyone else. It is a matter of personal satisfaction in accomplishing something that is praiseworthy.

One of the most common paradoxes of history is the paradox of succeeding through failure. Jesus failed to turn Israel from her sins, and they crucified Him, but He thereby succeeded in paying the penalty for their sin, and also for the sins of the world. By descending into the valley of failure, ...read more

Christ And Criticism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

There is a legitimate place for expressing critical feelings. It is just that it is a delicate matter. It is almost as delicate as trying to catch soap bubbles on a pin.

Some years back at the University of Wisconsin a group of literary students formed a club. The purpose of the club was to criticize. The members would submit a story, and it would be dissected mercilessly with no punches pulled. The sessions were so brutal that the club members dubbed themselves, ...read more

Being A Man Of Conviction: Who Am I? What Do I Stand For?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

Who am I? What do I stand for? Today it seems like people have been brainwashed by consumerism. People don't necessarily have faiths they defend or causes they believe in anymore, they more so have favorite sports teams, favorite movies, and favorite foods.

Persistently Patient Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Those who do not learn this lesson, and who just cannot accept their limitations, can never become mature adults, let alone mature Christians. Maturity is directly dependent upon one's patience.

All our lives we are being tested on our ability to wait. Those who fail to learn early become candidates for insanity. Nothing is more frustrating than to have an impatient mind in a world where you cannot control all that is necessary to fulfill all your desires and dreams. Gutzon Borglum, who ...read more

The Kind Of Religion We Should Lose

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 25, 2022

Sometimes we hear people say, “I am about to lose my religion.” Well, there is at least one kind of religion that would be good for people to lose.

The book of James speaks about such a religion. It is called the religion of DEAD FAITH. James evidently had some in his congregation who should have lost their religion. The book of James is living proof that our circumstances change but mankind never changes. We have evidences of that today ...read more

Love’s Response To Hate

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He forgave us and all mankind for the sins that are sins of omission. These are sins we are not aware of and so we can never confess. Jesus forgave these along with all other sins.

One of the most diabolical criminals of his day, and the first big time American gangster, was also a very impressive pulpit orator. John Murrell as a youth was caught for horse stealing, and after a public whipping he was sent to prison. He declared eternal vengeance upon society for this, and ...read more

Your Spirit Series

Contributed by Andre King on Mar 21, 2019

People have many natures. Some are "sweet". Others are "mean". Some are passive. Some are "intense". Whatever your nature, it was given by God but shaped by the world. Is yours under God's control?

"Biology Of The Breathe Of Life”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Mar 25, 2019

We have made our churches so churchy that we forgot the very words of Jesus Himself in its very beginning...

I have titled this sermon “Biology of the Breathe of Life”, because we are studying here Life itself. The origin of everything. I want to title it before as Evolution of the Breathe of Life, but Life for me could not evolve but complete in itself. God is Life. No beginning and no end. There can be ...read more

He Died For Me, So I'll Live For Him!

Contributed by David Nolte on Apr 8, 2019

God is not seeking a blood sacrifice today; He desires a living one.

Capital punishment has been a controversial issue and a bone of contention for as long as I can remember. It has been voted in and out and in and put on hold. Some call it cruel and inhumane, or claim that it is just legalized murder. Others defend the practice on the ground of “an eye for an ...read more

But God Demonstrated His Own Love ... Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jan 27, 2020

For whom would you die? Would you give your life for someone who disliked you? Jesus did.

But God … I have found these one of the most comforting words in the Bible. Despite my faults, and shortcoming, God loves me. God loves me, not for who I am, but in spite of who I am.
