    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021
     | 2,180 views

    How many times have you listened to sermons, read articles, or read books which inevitably point to the "failings of the church?" It seems like a constant theme.

    How many times have you listened to sermons, read articles, or read books which inevitably point to the "failings of the church?" It seems like a constant theme. The church isn't doing this, the church isn't doing that! The church is failing because of this; the church sucks ...read more

    Do we get caught up in the ’crowd mentality’ of today as people did on the day Christ rode into Jerusalem? How does society influence our thinking and our actions?

    Who is This? Palm Sunday, April 5, 2009 Matthew 21:1-11 Matthew 21 The Triumphal Entry 1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, ...read more

    Our Society is summed up in the words of a U2 song - "I still haven’t found what I’m looking for." This sermon explores why we have such a drive for more...

    I Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking For 1 Timothy 6:6-10 While your turning to our passage, I want you to listen to a few words from a song by U2. (Play song) I hope you caught that.

    All Things New, Week 3. Everyone makes mistakes, but starting over with Christ means moving away from your failings and moving toward God in obedience.

    Move Forward Phil. 3:12-16 This month, I’ve been preaching a series titled “All Things New”. Week 1, we looked at what it means to be “Born Again”. Last week, we looked at the fact that it’s “Never Too Late” to accept the new life that offers through ...read more

    Making Wise Investments Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jul 27, 2021
     | 1,974 views

    Perhaps the greatest challenge the church faces is finding her place in changing world, on that doesn’t appear to be getting better. John gives an imperative for the church, make investment on in God’s promises which are eternal, not in a worldview that is destined to fail.

    Our society is infatuated with extremes, there seems to be no common ground for living. I developed a model, Pathway to Recovery, that illustrates this dynamic. While at a bookstore, I observed a group of students. They were polls apart when discussing religious thought. I had made the comment to ...read more

    Being Salt Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 31, 2023
     | 2,452 views

    Immediately following the Beatitudes, Jesus turned the instruction from character qualities of his followers to their function in the world as salt and light. Matthew 5:13 warns about failing to function as salt.

    Intro We have found in our study of the Beatitudes that a certain kind of person is blessed (approved and favored by God). This follower of Christ has the same characteristics developed in him that we see in Christ. He is poor in spirit, mournful of anything that does not glorify God, meek, etc. It ...read more

    2nd in the series "Love Notes: A Letter from John." About living a life of love and holiness and seeking forgiveness when you fail.

    President Calvin Coolidge went to church, and afterwards was asked by a friend what the minister spoke on. “He preached on sin.” The friend asked what the preacher had to say about sin, and was told, “He’s against it.”... That’s sort of the bottom line of today’s message—that sin has no place in ...read more

    Standing On The Premises Instead Of The Promises?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jun 30, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,892 views

    We can learn to come to God’s premises and easily fail to stand on His PROMISES. GOD’S PROMISES ARE EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS!

    STANDING ON THE PREMISES BUT NOT ON THE PROMISES. By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com One of the chief reasons for spiritual leanness and spiritual anemic weakness is we do not know God’s promises and we do not accept His promises are for me today.

    Two Way Communication

    based on 35 ratings
     | 5,033 views

    One of the greatest tragedies of the Christian life is that we fail to ever enter into a relationship with God that is born of the Holy Spirit. We are left with a religion, not a relationship.

    Two Way Communications Isaiah 50:4b; John 10:27 Recently I have been over hearing in certain classes on whether or not we can influence God? I think that if that question is asked or thought of here maybe our people feel that way as well. If we as future shepherds, feel that way how can we ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 11,440 views

    Before making decisions, we need to check it out first with God and seek His counsel. Joshua failed to do this, and suffered the consequences.

    “Check It Out!” – The Gibeonites Joshua 9:1-27 INTRODUCTION: Our story tonight has to do with choices, decisions, deception, and jumping to conclusions. BACKGROUND: The Children of Israel had finally crossed over into the Promised Land. The waters departed for them to cross the Jordan River on ...read more

    What Does God See?

    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,146 views

    A sermon that discusses why most churches are failing in their walk with the Lord. We tend to walk about with a spirit of timidity rather than a spirit of boldness.

    Back in the first part of the last century, Cumberland College of Kentucky was playing football with a rival, and they were absolutely outclassed. They were losing miserably and the opposing team was bigger, stronger, and more intimidating than they were. One of their players fumbled the ball, ...read more

    Cleaning House

     | 7,319 views

    When we fail to keep God’s temple clean, God will clean it for us eventually and get our attention while doing it.

    WHEN GOD CLEANS HOUSE Matthew 21:12-16 INTRO As we read of the Temple being cleansed by Jesus for the extortion that was taking place there, we often focus our attention on the temple building. We often forget that once we accept Christ as our Savior, our bodies become the temple of ...read more

    When we fail, when we deny, when we fall short, Jesus will still prepare for us a table in the midst of our enemies.

    Following the Shepherd Psalms 23 Ps 23… The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of ...read more

    8th in the series "Coversations With Jesus." Jesus gives sight to one blind man, but the spiritually blind Pharisees fail to perceive the Light of the World.

    Introduction: Clip from DVD "AT First Sight" where bandages are taken off of Virgil’s eyes. Medical experts have found that Virgil’s experience is typical of those who have either never had sight or who lost it at an early age. Even if a medical miracle is somehow able to restore the physical ...read more

    Jesus commends the servants who risk trusting the master and produce good return but scolds the servant who is motivated in fear and fails to trust the master.
