    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,642 views

    What you believe about God’s Word will determine how you view the world around you. If your worldview does not come from God’s Word, it will come from the world.

    Why Worldview Matters Romans 12:1-2 Rev. Brian Bill September 9-10, 2023 How many of you wear glasses or contacts? Actually, we all use lenses to view the world around us.

    A look at the trials in our lives, why we have them, how we should use them, and keeping a proper perspective as we go through them.

    How many of us have found ourselves with burdens that affect our lives? In reality, we all have our hardships, don’t we? Have you ever wondered why God lets His children suffer such unpleasantries? Let me give you a little hint. It has to do with our huge egos that think we are the ones in ...read more

    This sermon examines the mission of the local church.

    Do you ever find yourself wondering about your purpose? As a church we should be continually considering that thought. Why are we here? I would like for us to consider this question today. This is a vitally important question. Sometimes churches misunderstand their task. Someone wrote a list of ...read more

    Why 'good' Friday?

    Contributed by Rodney Killam on Apr 18, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 17,804 views

    Why is Good Friday called good? Our answer to that question is determined by how we see that day’s event -- with worldy, physical eyes or Christian, spiritual eyes?

    A Good Friday Communion Service Meditation [Sermon Intro] Why Good Friday? Why do we call this Friday, good? This is the day that we see Christ dying on the cross. A day of remembrance like this would be more appropriately termed Mourning Friday, for that is what the disciples were doing -- ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,305 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    "from Every Nation"- The Bible And Race- Pt.3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Oct 25, 2020
     | 2,370 views

    Today, as I close out this series, I want us to consider the question: “So with the abundance of such teaching in the Scriptures denouncing racism, why has racism been such a problem for so long?”

    Over the past two weeks we have looked at the Bible and what it teaches about race and race relations. We have seen how everyone bears the image of God and should be respected as an image bearer. We have seen how we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and therefore we are all “family” being part of ...read more

    Numbers Is The Name Of The Game Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Jun 27, 2011
     | 5,882 views

    God’s use of numbers is intriguing and to understand them is to better understand His word. This message was developed after reading Dr. Rogers & Dr. Merritt and is very helpful for study.

    Numbers is the Name of the Game Revelation 1:4, 20 * Years ago schools embraced a simple form of education which was jokingly referred to as the 3 R’s of learning; reading, ‘riting, & ‘rithmetic. Remembering this reminds me of a story which my dad tells and declares to be the truth. In rural ...read more

    People were honoring Jesus Christ as they laid down their cloaks and palm branches; what are we honoring Jesus with on a daily basis?

    Today is known as Palm Sunday. Why do we celebrate Palm Sunday? Got questions? Got answers!! - The Word of God! Palm Sunday is described in all the 4 Gospels. The narrative in Mark 11 is abbreviated but similar to the one in Matthew. So let us read Matthew 21:1-11……. Let us note a few things ...read more

    This is a sermon that deals with the importance of having the right relationship with God.

    What am I here for? Ecclesiastics 5:1-7 This is my eighth Easter as pastor at this church. Easter is kind of like the Super bowl Sunday for the churches.

    No one can read the Bible and not believe in the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ

    The Lord’s return does not grip us quite like it did seventy-five years ago. There are not as many messages preached today as you used to here on the second coming of Christ. However, no one can read the Bible and not believe in the coming again of the Lord Jesus Christ. As someone has well said ...read more
