Sermons on Weeks:

Living For A Higher Calling Than Me Series

Contributed by Charles Whitmire on Jan 27, 2008

This is the third message in the Contrarian’s Guide series. This week we look at idols, and how as odd as it sounds, if we are not careful our idol becomes "me."

This is our third message in our contrarian series - we’ve been looking at things from a little different perspective, or vantage point. Last week we talked about slowing down - rather than speeding through life, maybe if we slowed down we could learn to hear God. The week before that we talked ...read more

Christian Warfare: Christian Armor Series

Contributed by Christopher Glenn on Jul 14, 2012

This week we will see the spiritual equipment and armor that God provides. In order to stand therefore in the heat of battle, believers need every piece of God's armor.

INTRODUCTION: It comes as a shock to the new believer that the Christian Life is a battleground and not a playground. We can always tell when a new believer is starting to mature, because they always find themselves fighting battles. This is a good sign because as Spurgeon used to say, “Satan ...read more

Dealing With Transition

Contributed by William Nieporte on Nov 19, 2007

This sermon was preached a week after I have followed God’s call to resign as pastor of a loving church to follow a new call from God.

Intro: There have been many kind reactions to my announcement (notes, phone calls, visits, chance gathering, compliments) Some more interesting reactions: To my lovely wife Jeana, one person said: “Can’t he go and the rest of you stay!” From Mary D. suffering with serious memory loss, I ...read more

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

This is a summary of the Reflections on coronavirus so far (series A and B). I will follow with a series based on the New Testament excluding Revelation, and then another on Revelation, in the coming weeks.

Today we’re at a milestone in our Reflections. We’ll be leaving the Old Testament! Do I hear ‘hooray’? 🙂 After a short break we’ll move on to the New Testament. A milestone is a good place to take stock. It’s probably impossible to summarise 23 Reflections in a short space but I’m ...read more

Last week we talked about three views of the atonement of Jesus. Today we’re going to continue forward and talk about the concept of sanctification.

The Great Depression # 4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2021

Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

The Prophet Isaiah 2 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 27, 2022

We could spend many weeks dealing with the 66 chapters of Isaiah. However, the purpose of covering all the prophets in this series is to give you a survey of these prophets.

Isaiah lived during the late eighth and early seventh centuries BC, which was a difficult period in the history of Jerusalem. This was the time of the divided kingdom with: • Israel in the north • Judah in the south There was prosperity for both kingdoms during Isaiah’s youth, with little foreign ...read more

Better That Christ Go To The Father

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 28, 2022

As we enter this week before Pentecost, we are reminded today why Jesus told us it’s better for us that He go to the Father.

Monday of 7th week in Easter Acts 19: 1-8/John 16: 29-33 I suspect that we are all like the early Christians, like Mary Magdalene, wanting to cling to Jesus, wanting to be able to touch him and see him and hear his voice speaking words of love and tenderness and reassurance. Especially now when ...read more

Do Your Best To Be Your Best

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 29, 2022

Most young men and women that attend a Bible College are given six weeks to find a church that they will be working with. The colleges call this, “Christians service!”

• Those who are sincere about doing something for the Lord look for a church that will use them. They realized they are in training for the ministry and they want to be used by the Lord and get all the experience they can get. • Some students that are not sincere are very content to find a church ...read more
