    This sermon addresses the fact that discerning God's will for our life is just as important as serving God.

    What Is Better? Luke 10:38 - 42 Intro: Larry was hard of hearing and was having chest pains. He and his wife went to the doctor. The doctor told Janice that the chest pains were likely from stress. Larry asked, “What did he say?” Janice answered, “He said you are sick.” The doctor said ...read more

    Is there more to taking the Lord’s name in vain than with our speech?

    INTRODUCTION • What’s in a name? How many of you when you were kids were told about how important it was for you not to tarnish the family name by doing something really stupid? • A Chinese friend of ours who we met in Macomb told us that in China when young people would get out of line with ...read more

    After announcing my resignation from the Sunrise Presbyterian Church in order to accept a new call, I address the issue of "how do we seek and know God’s will for our lives?"

    My wife and I went to a baseball game last week. I bought the tickets at the stadium and when I was at the ticket booth, this young fellow behind the window sold me two tickets and he is about to take my money. And he insults me! I couldn’t believe it. I asked how much the tickets were and ...read more

    Love is an expression, not a feeling. It involves personal sacrifice.

    I. Ideal Love a. There was a Dad who took his kids to do a little shopping. As they drove up, they spotted an eighteen-wheeler parked with a big sign on it that said, "Petting Zoo." The kids jumped up in a rush and asked, "Daddy, Daddy. Can we go? Please. Please. Can we go?" "Sure," He said ...read more

    What Is A Christian?

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 2, 2020
     | 5,807 views

    I remember hearing a story of a young boy asking his father what is a Christian? After the father explained, the young boy asked, “Dad have I ever seen a Christian?”

    The word Christian is a very loose term; at least we use it very loosely, and it has become, in America, a meaningless term. To some, it means anybody living in the United States, and is not Jewish. The term Christian has been so abused and diluted that it has very little meaning to most of us ...read more

    A sermon that seeks to answer the question: What does it mean to be righteous in the eyes of God?

    “What is Righteousness?” Matthew 1:18-25 What is the first image that pops into your head when you hear the word “righteous?” Do you think of some fire and brimstone preacher with a red face who points a finger at sinners and declares them guilty in the eyes of an angry god? Or do you think ...read more

    What Is Truth?

    Wow. Has our society today lost hold on absolute truth or what? I shudder to think how blurred the line between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous will be five years from now! This message attempts to bring some clarity to that all-important question; what is truth?

    What Is Truth? You and I live in a world that has almost totally rejected the existence of absolute truth. The current pervading mindset today seems to be that everyone has their own truth, and that everyone else must affirm them in whatever truth they claim to have—despite how ridiculous it may ...read more

    This lesson serves to demystify Baptism, by examining What it is and Why we are Baptized

    There has been much discussion over what is baptism and who is it for and what is it for. Baptism is actually the fifth step in becoming a Christian. To review: We must first hear the word. HEARING includes receiving the word, not just listening to the nouns and verbs. We gain FAITH by listening ...read more

    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

    Christian fellowship is based on Apostolic Doctrine.

    WHAT A FELLOWSHIP, WHAT A JOY DIVINE! 1 John 1:1-4 by Cleavon Matthews November 28, 2004 INTRODUCTION Error is combated by affirming the truth. John writes to the church under attack by early forms of Docetism and Gnosticism. These two inseparable philosophical and theological ideas plagued ...read more

    WHAT'S THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM WITH CURSING? 1. WHEN CURSE WORDS ARE PEPPERED THROUGHOUT OUR WORDS: a.

    What Law? And What Good Is It?

    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
