Continuing In Him

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Feb 21, 2010

The scripture makes a great distinction between a Christian who occasionally commits sin and a lost person who lives a lifestyle of sin.

CONTINUING IN HIM INTRODUCTION: Today some of you will not like the sermon. I know that because I have preached it before and some people did not like it. Some will call it mean-spirited, unloving or even un-Christian. Sometimes, in trying to teach a positive lesson we need to use negative words. ...read more

The Last Judge Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 4, 2025

Samuel was the last Judge of Israel. He serves as a link between the time of the Judges and the Monarchy, so our story begins with him.

December 06, 2025 Last week we concluded the book of Judges with these words: “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit.” The stories in Judges graphically demonstrate what happens when God’s people deliberately turn from his leadership and choose to follow their own ...read more

Studies In Genesis: Chapters 6 - 9 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 6 1*. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto ...read more

A Call To Action – "Get Up! Pick Up Your Bed And Walk”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 12, 2024

I always enjoy reading the gospels and I regularly recommend to new converts to read the gospels for two reasons:

(1) Some parts of the scriptures are difficult for a new convert to understand, so I recommend they start off their Christian life reading the gospels that a child can understand. (2) Also, I recommend to new converts to read the gospels because it has many things to teach old converts and new ...read more

Jesus, Justice & Jubilee

Contributed by David Smith on Jan 24, 2007

Father Dave’s sermon on the relationship between evangelism, social justice and the Gospel. Why was the Gosepl proclaimed as ’Good news the poor’ and what was Jesus’ vision of Social Justice?

There has been an unfortunate division in the church, that goes back over many years, between those who emphasise the preaching of the Gospel as the primary work of the church, and those who focus on issues of justice, love, and peace. It is regularly assumed that those who focus on the preaching ...read more

A CONTRAST OF COMMITMENT 1 Sam. 26:21 2 Tim. 4:7 Intro: The Bible is a book of contrasts. In the NT, especially the teachings of Jesus, we find many contrasts. i.e.- 2 roads-1 broad, that leads to destruction; 1 narrow, that leads to life. 2 went to pray—a Pharisee & a publican…. The ...read more

A covenant is a serious agreement two parties enter into and they must not be taken lightly, especially the covenant we have with God.

Covenant Smuvenant 2 Corinthians 3:4-18 Remember Daffy Duck—whenever he thought something was not important, he would say “smuvenant.” Have you ever just blown something off?

1 Samuel 1 & The Institution Of Marriage

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 28, 2007

Who was it who came up with the idea that the purpose of marriage was to make two people happy? Marriage is an institution designed for a very specific purpose! ... ...

’Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like horse and carriage’. So we’re told, but not in my book they don’t, and by ’my book’ I mean the Bible. That’s a warm and inviting way to start a sermon, isn’t it? But the tone is set for us today by our reading from the Old Testament - the ...read more
