Land Of Liberty

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

The Christians who came to America to enjoy liberty did not come here to escape the bondage of atheists or humanists, but of other Christians. In our Western history it has been Christians who have been the greatest opponents of religious liberty.

Liberty is America's second name. We have such national symbols as the Statue Of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the songs of liberty like My Country Tis Of Thee-sweet land of liberty, of thee of I sing. The Preamble to our Constitution says, "We the people...in order to establish ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 23 – The Religious Classes Were Superficial And Acted Corruptly – Challenges – Greedy And False Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024

Living in a society where all is greed and false is not pleasant, but when this is worst among the religious class, it is especially wicked. Jeremiah faced this problem. The arrogance of today’s western world is almost unbelievable. Serious problems are addressed superficially.

"Hope For The Future”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Dec 22, 2021

An opening by Dr. Paul Ruskin in the Journal of the A.M.A. “Stages of Aging.” It was really a photo of his baby daughter. Simeon holds the baby Jesus ..How did he know which baby in the temple that day? How did He and "we" listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit?

Oop's! Theres A Fork In The Road!

Contributed by Kenneth Burisek on Feb 5, 2005

Narrow way/Broad way---Comparing two Old Testament men of God Joseph and David who came to the same fork in the road with a decision to make. I use a lot of Country/Western lingo as we are a country style church.

Oops !!! There’s a fork in the road !!!

A Feast Of Grace

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 4, 2014

This little psalm along with the Lord’s Prayer may be the most well-known passage in the Bible, and it is definitely the world’s favorite psalm, since it is the favorite of Jew, Eastern Orthodox, Western Protestant, and wistful agnostic alike.

May 16, 2014 Tom Lowe Title: A FEAST OF GRACE Psalm 23 (KJV) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I ...read more

How To Spot A Fake Faith Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Apr 2, 2012

Christianity has become a surface religious distraction from the hardships and realities of life and is no longer a relevant belief system connecting us to our Creator and Savior. In the western world the fakes are much more visible than those who stil

I think we may finally be living in a day when the ‘Christianity’ that exists in the cultural marketplace is now more fake than real. What began with liberal departures from the essentials of our faith has now moved to a wide spread illiteracy of the very truths of Christianity. ...read more

The eerie spiritual fog has rolled in over the Western church and Christian culture, it has descended on us because, “There is no fear of God before people’s eyes today.” This created the right atmosphere for fog to roll in and engulf our nation.”

Sermon 2: The Fog I have shared about being in the fog and the dangers of fog but we have compared natural fog to the eerie dense spiritual fog that has invaded the landscape of western culture and even churches in the last 50 years.

Repentance For Revival And Increase In Anointing

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

We live in a time where a lot of the western church is caught up in the hyper grace movement that condones sin and sells salvation wrapped up in sensuality and stickers of liberty. But God wants true freedom in his house and a hungering after righteousness again.

Walking in humility, repentance and a greater anointing Humility is a key to seeing God move and for Him increase you in the anointing. Biblically speaking, Humility has a lot to do with fasting and vise-versa. Fasting had to do with mourning. Jesus was asked: why don’t your disciples fast. He ...read more

Contributed by Kenneth Burisek on Mar 13, 2005

We are a country/western church and I use a lot of country style slang in my sermons---it’s about two trains---the Heavenly Cannonball and the Hellfire Express---everyone is ridin on one of these spiritual trains---this sermon is short but very effective

The Fog - Hide And Seek Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 19, 2023

The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!

The Fog Chapter 4 - “Hide and Seek?” Illustration: Have you ever played Hide and Seek – I have with my grandkids – Deklan is the funniest because where he hides is usually in the same place and if you listen you can hear him singing – he loves to sing – at our summer blast I put him on the ponies, ...read more
