    Living Water

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2019
     | 5,028 views

    This message is about the importance of living water. The western mind struggles to comprehend how important this was to the woman at the well. As is today spiritually we struggle to truly connect to this analogy.

    Note: I did read a few articles on the waters of the Middle East in Jesus' day. So this is a combination of different sources. Title: Living Water Theme: To show the need for more in a persons life and how to share our faith. Text: John 4:1 - 26 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the ...read more

    Surrendered To The Savior Series

    Jesus offered a convicting mandate - take up your cross and follow me! In that culture the cross was not westernized like it is in our culture as a fashion statement. It meant death.

    Surrendered to the Savior Mark 8: 34-38 For the past few weeks we have discussed some intense conversation between Jesus and the disciples. He had questioned them regarding His deity and their acceptance of Him as the Christ. While others had a skewed perception of Christ, Peter boldly, and ...read more

    Concluding the series on Trusting God examining the life of Joseph, we see that even as Joseph trusted God throughout his life so to when he comes to the end of life's journey.

    TRUSTING GOD … WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD! “So Joseph and his brothers and their families continued to live in Egypt. Joseph lived to the age of 110. He lived to see three generations of descendants of his son Ephraim, and he lived to see the birth of the children of ...read more

    Knowing God

    Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

    Note 1: This sermon can be used as a companion sermon to "Knowing Christ," which is also posted on Sermon Central. They are not redundant, and may be used separately or presented on consecutive occasions. Note 2: I have developed some PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. If ...read more

    A Christmas Sermon: philosophy, science, and religion can only take us to Jerusalem, it takes special revelation from God's word to find Jesus. Message taken from the Magi's journey.

    Christmas – God’s Special Revelation Matthew 2:1-12 In a Peanut’s cartoon, Charlie Brown goes up to Lucy and says, “Someone said we should live each day as if it were the last day of our lives.” Lucy then runs out screaming, “Aaugh, this is the last day, this is it.

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Right Place At The Right Time

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 7, 2021
     | 2,420 views

    Paul's preaching in the synagogues and the markets of Athens drew the attention of the city's philosophers and intellectuals who invited him to speak at the Areopagus. When the Gospel is proclaimed, it has the power to win souls for the glory of God (Hebrews 4:12).

    Paul's mission to carry the Gospel to the nations continued while he was in Athens. Even though persecution had driven him out of one area, the LORD in His Sovereignty placed Paul right where He wanted him, and that was at the intellectual capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Athens. ...read more

    "The Gospel Not Of Man"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 5, 2009
     | 2,848 views

    What aspect of the Gospel differentiates it from every philosophy or doctrinal statement of mankind? It is that it comes directly from God. It is otherworldly. It is entirely divine in origin.

    “For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.” Vs 11 Preacher and Bible commentator, John Stott, said this in his exposition of Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “To tamper with the gospel is to trouble the church… Indeed the church’s ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,566 views

    If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

    For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

    Too often in the western world, we minimalize connections thinking that teaching principles is enough but 90% of the people who come to church do so on the basis of their friendly connections.
