    What About What The Bible Doesn't Say

    Contributed by Michael Bolin on Jun 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,199 views

    what we eat is irrelevant-- but how our actions affect others in the body is not irrelevant.

    In our scriptures this morning, Paul moves now to a heated Corinthian dispute over an issue of doctrine. Should Christians eat meat from animals that have been offered first to pagan deities, and can they take part in a dinner party the host dedicates to a god or goddess? Doesn’t it seem peculiar, ...read more

     | 13,958 views

    God calls each of us. This sermon explores what it means to respond to God’s call. What do we do? and What does God do for us?

    Sometimes when you hear passages like today’s bible reading you can find yourself asking the question. Does this really apply to me? You maybe saying hey I already have a life. I have a family. I am not going to leave my job and family simply to become a full time disciple. I can’t afford it ...read more

    Integrity, Zeal, Knowledge: What’s In Your Wallet? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 6, 2012
     | 6,314 views

    While shallow Christians who are playing the game of religion may get into the trappings of the faith, committed believers connect that their faith is to affect their daily ethics.

    Integrity, Zeal, Knowledge: What’s In Your Wallet? (Proverbs 19:1-2, 5, 23) 1. What’s in your wallet? That’s how a bunch of Vikings and a credit card company challenge us to consider a switch to their card. 2. But what is in your wallet? Probably money, perhaps a driver’s license or ID, maybe a ...read more

    John The Baptist Again, But What A Man, What A Devotion.

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,765 views

    Another John the Baptist sermon, but I really did not understand the man until now. Can we ever emulate and sustain his devotion to Jesus?

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 17th December 2017 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 John 1:6-8,19-28 Psalm 19:14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our ...read more

    What’s In Your Clay? (September 4, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 1, 2022
     | 3,394 views

    How many times have you seen a Capitol One commercial where you always hear the question, “What’s in your wallet?” As we hear today’s text a better question to ask is “What’s in your clay?” What’s in our clay that makes us resistant to how God is trying to mold us and shape us?

    WHAT’S IN YOUR CLAY? Text: Jeremiah 18:1 -11 Jeremiah 18:1-11 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: (2) "Come, go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words." (3) So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his ...read more

    What You Do, Verses, What You Believe.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 9, 2022
     | 1,371 views

    Remember this, telling people what they are doing wrong does not give them the power to stop doing it. The law is powerless to give life; only by the life of Jesus Christ can we overcome sin.

    What You Do, Verses, What You Believe. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11NLT In his book Spiritual Burnout, Malcolm Smith tells the story of a drug addict he minister to. Hector had been a heavy drug abuser before he came to know the Lord. He had a ...read more

    Not here’s my tithe, No, it’s God’s tithe. Your blessing can’t be stolen if you give it as unto the Lord. —You attitude in giving is everything.

    What’s In Your Pocket. (Giving Out Of Love) Matthew 6:1-4TPT Every day, Glenn purchases his morning coffee at a nearby drive-through.

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 479 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more

    "What Is Our Blessed Hope?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Dec 11, 2007
    based on 20 ratings
     | 13,409 views

    New believers have many misconceptions about what they should expect now that they are saved. This message message deals with two great questions: What our blessed hope is not. And what is "The Blessed Hope" of the Christian!

    Title: "What is Our Blessed Hope?" Introduction: What is the "Blessed hope" of the Christian? Many people entered into Christianity much in the same way that people enter into marriage. They have misconception. Marriage is not all honeymoon, fun, and bliss. Nor is Christianity! Using today’s ...read more

    What God Wants Isn’t What You Think

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 4, 2025
     | 222 views

    Faith is not belief alone but a heart returning to and reaching for Jesus—seeking relationship, surrender, and wholeness in His presence.

    There are moments in Scripture so brief, so quiet, so easily passed over, that we almost miss the entire weight of Heaven behind them. Luke 17 records one of those moments—an encounter tucked into a journey, a miracle overshadowed by a greater truth, a healing overshadowed by a deeper kind of ...read more

    One afternoon in Jericho changed everything for a despised tax collector. Jesus looked up into a tree and called a sinner by name. Salvation came that day.

    2. ZACCHAEUS MEETS JESUS (FROM REJECTION TO REDEMPTION) Introduction The story of Zacchaeus shows the power of one encounter with Jesus Christ. This man lived in Jericho.
