    All We Have Is A Prayer Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 28, 2020
     | 3,086 views

    When you consider the sin of mankind and the tumult of the nations, what hope is there for sinful man. The truth is that all we have is a prayer--and it's enough when you pray as Daniel prayed.

    Pray to our only hope—an awesome loving God to Save us from our Sins Many of you know that I’m a fan of spectator sports. Each morning I generally have my devotions in two different places, in the Bible, and the sports page. As a sports fan, I’m familiar with mismatches—like when the #1 ...read more

    The second of our "I Do" sermon series focusing on "The Proposal." Do we look out for our own interests or think outward?

    Jesus The Controversialist Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023
     | 2,186 views

    Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

    A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

    When we focus too much on what happened in the past it becomes hard for us to see what God is doing in the present and is leading us in the future.

    Can We Pass The Test?

     | 38,970 views

    I wonder how we would score if there were a test available that could reveal just how faithful & devout a Christian we really are - that really measured the level of our spirituality?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. Not long ago I preached a sermon entitled “The Love Test” in which we mentioned that passage of scripture where Jesus asked Simon Peter, “Do you love me? Do you really love me?” And we talked about that subject. Now today, let’s go a ...read more

    Live A Godly Life . . . Why Should I?

    Contributed by Tony Klinedinst on Mar 9, 2009
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,586 views

    This is the 10th sermon in a series through 1 John. It deals with the attitude "I am saved by grace, why should I go through the trouble of living the Christian life?" We live a godly life because of God’s love for us.

    why should I love a Godly life? Though many of us would come right out and ask this question, I am sure many of us have spent considerable time wondering. In case you haven’t heard, living a God-honoring life isn’t easy. God is constantly calling us to step out of our comfort zone and enter into ...read more
