    It’s not about us, it’s all about Him. (Sermon delivered during the 15th Anniversary Celebration of Fil-Am Community Church in Springfield, VA on Nov. 20, 2011)

    VIDEO (What’s it all about, Alfie?) This song comes from the movie of the same title, “What’s it all about, Alfie?” It’s the story of a womanizer who thinks that life revolves around him. Until he gradually realizes the consequences of his actions. Now, I’m not recommending that you watch this ...read more

    So What’s Your Excuse?

    Why are not moving in the power and love of the disciples from the Bible?

    “My dog ate my homework.” “There was a wreck on the bridge that held me up.” “I didn’t see the stop sign.” “Maybe it’s not God’s will.” “His ways are not our ways.” It seems we all have heard a million excuses, and we have all used thousands ourselves. Making excuses or laying blame elsewhere ...read more

    What You Were, What You Are Series

     | 6,288 views

    It is interesting to see what we once were and to compare it with what we are. Paul does that in Romans 6 as he says we once were slaves to sin, but now are slaves to righteousness.

    Flipping through old photo albums, or even Facebook photos, can be a very interesting thing. It is neat to see what you were compared to what you are now. It can be interesting to see how you used to look and dress compared to how you do currently. Sometimes it can make you say, “What was I ...read more

    Choosing What’s Most Important 2 Kings 17: 35-39 Jealous of David’s growing power, influence and popularity, King Saul sought to have him killed. David went into hiding. But when Saul died, he could finally stop running and was anointed King of Israel. The following 7 ½ years, the nation was ...read more

    The history books in Heaven, are still writing and recording the Greatest story ever told! The opportunity to be part of the Greatest story ever told is still available, the question is will you play the part, you have been given?

    What's your part in the story? 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJ 4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is ...read more

    There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us . . . And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Nelson Mandela

    Nelson Mandela once said; “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, ...read more

    A refresher on the subject of truth and how important it is to have that sorted out in life

    How’s your bucket list?

We launched this new series about bucket lists, and about making sure ...read more

    Is the Law of the Old Testament good toward our salvation and sanctification, or not?

    Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Today we have an opportunity to reflect on the longest psalm in Scriptures, which is numbered 119. It’s easy to remember three psalms other than the ever-popular 22, “The Lord is My Shepherd.” Psalm 117, “praise the Lord, all you nations” is the shortest psalm, just two ...read more

    What’s Better Than Forgiveness? Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Dec 6, 2023

     | 1,280 views

    This sermon explores the concept of forgiveness, emphasizing that Jesus offers more than just forgiveness - he offers freedom from sin and a constant, abiding presence through the Holy Spirit.

    Hello Church! We’re going to look at the opening to Mark’s gospel today. One of the unique things about the Gospel of Mark is how to-the-point Mark tells the story of Jesus. He doesn’t beat around the bush and he omits a lot of material that we find in Matthew, Luke, and John. In fact, Mark uses ...read more

    Lesson 11: A Teaching Sermon Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 14, 2018
     | 4,381 views

    We will discuss modifying the sermon outline to a teaching format, and share a brief introduction to how we can reach people who learn by different methods.

    Lesson Goal I hope to encourage obedience to Jesus' command to teach in Matthew 28. Lesson Intro Jesus instructed the disciples to both preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15) and teach those who responded, to obey what he had taught them (Matthew 28:19-20). Preaching is more or less gospel work, and ...read more

    This first in a letter study series deals with the idea of being chosen by God. What does it mean and what are we chosen for?

    Chosen Ephesians 1:3-14 Over the next few weeks we are going to be taking an intense look at the letter of Paul to the Ephesians. This is really only loosely intended to be a series of teachings as the lessons are connected only by two things ¡V 1) the letter itself and 2) that this letter ...read more

    Until the old man is saved the natural man has no idea what the new man is, and what is meant by the old nature.

    EPH. 2: 1-3 5-10-08 THE OLD MAN & THE NEW MAN- OLD NATURE & NEW NATURE Today I want to bring a few thoughts on the subject of “the old man & the new man, the old nature & ...read more

    How do you ask God for things?

    As you know, this Lord’s Prayer is all part of what we know as the Sermon on the Mount. Just a few verses from where we are here… Jesus says something else about prayer. In chapter 7:7-11, He says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: ...read more

    What Does It Mean That Jesus "takes Away The Sin Of The World"?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 18, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,230 views

    A look into the idea from the Day of Atonement of the "scapegoat." Jesus doesn't just forgive our sin - He removes our sin, like a goat being taken away into the desert.

    JOHN'S PROCLAMATION: Jesus takes away the sin of the world. - John 1:29. - This is an Easter truth that we love to proclaim – and rightfully so! - Jesus takes away the sin of the world. - Tell a story that emphasizes only the forgiveness part, not the removal part. - But what if we don’t ...read more
