    based on 49 ratings
     | 4,306 views

    How did the world get in such a mess? Where does the evil found in our society find its roots? The answer is not mental insanity, but original sin.

    The Fall and Original Sin (Genesis 3:1-7) 1. Lots of tragic news: child killed by molester; mother murdered her children.. 2. O’Reilly guest---all murderers are insane… 3. Now sometimes people are insane, but so many people refuse to accept another explanation for mankind’s woes: original sin. 4. ...read more

     | 10,763 views

    As Christians, living in this materialistically oriented society, we need to consider the word of God delivered by Jeremiah to Baruch, his scribe: "Seek Not Great Things for Thyself!"

    SEEK NOT GREAT THINGS FOR THYSELF "Baruch, this is what the Lord says: ’I will destroy this nation that I built. I will uproot what I planted. Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! But don’t be discouraged. I will bring great disaster upon all these people, but I will protect ...read more

    Quest For Purpose Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 10, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,129 views

    Christians today have both a negative and a positive role in society. The negative role is to restrain evil. The positive role is to spread the Gospel and do good works.

    1. The first purpose God has for the church today is preservation 2. The second purpose God has for the church today is propagation MATTHEW 5:13-16 I’ve got a book at home called Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave. Some of the names might not ring a bell.

    Ethics Must Be Integrated Into Economic Activity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2009
     | 2,666 views

    Just as the action of Herod and of abortionists shows the divorce of economics and ethics, so we must reintegrate ethics into economic activity, if we are to reclaim society for Christ

    December 28, 2009 Feast of the Holy Innocents Caritas in Veritate The timeliness of the Pope’s encyclical, Charity in Truth, and its match to our Monday Scriptures is truly remarkable. Aristotle, himself an unbeliever, used mere reason to arrive at some remarkable truths. One of them is that ...read more

     | 6,447 views

    Submission is not a popular word in today’s society, yet it is a biblical concept. This sermon explains what biblical submission is and then applies it to how wives are to submit to their husbands.

    Ephesians 5:21-24 Wives submit to your husbands Well we have finally arrived at that famous or infamous - passage: Wives submit to your own husbands. Why is this passage so famous or infamous? Why is this passage controversial? Why is the whole idea of wives submitting to husbands is ...read more

    According to estimates of the American Society for Population Research (ASPR), there are 60 million people who die annually. That is about 2 deaths for every tick of the second.

    Jesus redeems the unlovable, untouchable and unreachable in our society. He loves sinners but He does not want them to remain unclean like the leprous man.

    Now a leper came to Him, imploring (ðáñáêáëÝù - continually calling for help) Him, kneeling down ( falling down on knees continually) to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean. (êáèáñßîù to make clean)" Then Jesus, moved with compassion, (óðëáã÷íßîïìáé to be moved with ...read more

    What Do I Need To Know About Sex? Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 4, 2014
     | 3,974 views

    Since 'sex' is a topic we hear and read about everywhere in our society, doesn't it make sense we hear about it in church as well?

    “Getting A Clue: What Do I Need to Know About Sex?” Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:12-20 I imagine today’s sermon title, “What Do I Need to Know About Sex”- raised some eyebrows – and maybe even some temperatures. Some perhaps stayed away – some perhaps came ...read more

    In a society that seems to be obsessed with self love the concept of crucifying self seems a little odd. This message looks at what it means to crucify our sinful nature.

    Enough with the selfies. And you thought that selfies were harmless. When selfies first came out I thought taking pictures of yourself with a cell phone was a passing fad.
