Sermons on Waters Brought Forth:

What Doth The Lord Require Of Thee

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 13, 2021

God has brought a charge against His people, and the charge is the same that He brings to us today. Their religion and their worship had become nothing but emptiness and meaningless rituals. All of it had become unrelated to their character and unrelated to their daily life.

They were deeply religious. They were very faithful in performing the acts of worship, but they were empty and meaningless. They had no affect whatsoever on the character of those who worship and on their daily walk and activities. As we go through this life serving God, we need to be careful not ...read more

Was It A Morning Like This? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Easter: This message shows how, through the resurrection, Jesus has brought light to our darkness and given us good news to share. Jesus seeks a personal encounter, and wants us to experience His resurrection power in our life.

Was It a Morning Like This? Luke 24:1-12 I have entitled our message, “Was It a Morning Like This?” Was it a morning like today when Jesus arose from the grave? I want to begin by reminding us how the resurrection is the event on which our faith is founded. In 1 Corinthians 15:16-17, the ...read more

The Encouraging Report Brings Joy Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 14, 2022

The report Timothy brought back of the Thessalonian believers put new life into Paul. The believers were standing strong in faith and love. They were longing to see Paul and Silas too. The report is so encouraging they pray day and night for the church.

If you have seen a Popeye the Sailor Man cartoon you know how the story goes. Brutus pushes Popeye to his breaking point. Popeye say his famous line, "That's all I can stands, 'cause I can't stands no more!" Popeye is almost down and out but, somehow, he is able to open the ...read more

God Can Make A Nobody Into A Somebody Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016

For a long time, many skeptics and atheists have stated that David is a mythical character invented by the Jews. But recent archaeological discoveries have proven otherwise. My trip to Israel in January 2016 brought new revelations. David is God's Man.

Unless A Grain Of Wheat Falls Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 21, 2013

For years I had gone to church on Palm Sunday, waved the palm branches which the church gave us and brought it home without grasping an iota of the love of God behind it. I want none of you to miss it today!

Unless a grain of wheat falls………Unless a grain of wheat falls John 12:24”Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his ...read more

Elijah's Question For Pagan America

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021

Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.

This nation is at the edge of the cliff. All it will take is one more step to go over, regulating America to the dustbin of history. For over sixty years since prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public schools by a poor interpretation of the First Amendment by a liberal Supreme Court ...read more

Contributed by Pedro Trinidad on Mar 18, 2023

Living With The End In Mind Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 16, 2022

Paul brought in the dimension of time and urges the believers to "wake up, clean up, and dress up" in the light of the nearness of Jesus' return. Let us live with this end in mind and watch what we leave behind.

Paul has been addressing the conduct of Christians since the start of Rom 12. • It is the life of those who have believed the Gospel that he laid out in Rom 1-11. • The right belief will lead to the right conduct. As followers of Christ living in a paganistic society like Rome, the readers’ ...read more

Will You Serve The Lord?

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 7, 2019

Israel had seen the 10 plagues, the Red Sea open, the miracles in the wilderness, and God conquer the promised land. But 24 years later their devotion cooled off. Joshua brought them to a decision to recommit their lives. We need to make a new dedication too!

WILL YOU SERVE THE LORD? Josh. 23:3; 24:14-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Most of us make resolutions at New Year’s. One young boy asked his father what his new year’s resolution was, and his father said he was going to do everything possible in the new year to make his mother very happy. 2. The ...read more

Corn Of Wheat

Contributed by Tony Abram on Sep 8, 2006

We must become like the corn of wheat before we can bring forth fruit in our lives. We must also be willing to become as an corn of wheat and have our lives hid in Christ. Let the world see Jesus living in us. Let our lights shine. (John 12:24 KJV) Veri

God's Word: Nourishment For The Spirit

Contributed by Larry Brincefield on May 28, 2004

The Bible provides nourishment for our spirit, much like food and water provide physical nourishment. We need to accept the authority of God’s Word; Incorporate the truth of the Bible into our thinking; and Apply it to our lives.

"Stay With The Boat"

Contributed by Bobby Touchton on May 10, 2004

Among the interpretation’s of Peter’s attempt to walk on water, one in particular is that he should have stayed with the boat, much like Christians should stay with other Christians and allow them to minister to one another.

Submitted by Dr. Bobby J. Touchton Ashland, Kentucky “Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but ...read more

An Amazing Catch

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Feb 8, 2007

We will never witness miracles by living in disobedience to God’s call, by doing nothing or by continuing to do what has not worked in the past. We are not called to the safety of the shoreline; but to “put out into deep water, attempting the impossible!

Luke 5: 1 – 11 An Amazing Catch Intro: Normally, when your hear someone talk about a person who is really fussy about the way their hair looks, you think they are talking about a woman. Well, I have a confession to make. I was born with this straight thin hair and I always wanted it to be wavy ...read more
