     | 22,814 views

    Have you tried and tried to be holy only to fail time and time again? If so, then the liberating truth that you need is found in God's Name Jehovah-M’Kaddesh (Jehovah Who Sanctifies).

    Purpose: To define holiness and its importance. Aim: I want the listener to pursue holiness. INTRODUCTION: One Sunday on their way home from church, a little girl turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this morning confused me." The mother said, "Oh? Why is that?" The little ...read more

    Acknowledging What We Are

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 28, 2004
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,406 views

    In our corrupt and chaotic world, we as Christians must be careful not to lose our proper perspective, both on our world, and ourselves. We must remember who and what we are.

    Acknowledging What We Are Text: I Cor.15: 9, 10 Intro: We live at a point in time that could be labeled as both exciting and exasperating. It is exciting because we are literally witnessing the coming together of events that point to the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is also ...read more

    Why I Quit Tithing

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,439 views

    Because God owns it all, the question should not be, "How much should I give?" But rather the question should be, "How much should I keep?"

    Most people simply don’t understand tithing. To many Christians, it seems like some sort of country club due. Another bill in the long list of monthly expenses. I hear questions like: “How Much Are You Supposed to Tithe?” “Do I tithe on my gross income or net income?” “My pay my tithe on my pay ...read more

    Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,439 views

    Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

    One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

    Choices We Make

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 14 ratings
     | 20,313 views

    When we sort through the implications of our choices, be they major or minor, how does a relationship with Jesus Christ figure into the equation? There is perhaps no greater choice facing us each and every day of our life than this choice. If you decide n

Intentionally set in very small type, they actually discourage people from understanding them. Because of this, many ...read more

    No sooner is he breathing and looking around and he is given a PURPOSE. In fact even before he is created from the dust of the ground God already gave him a purpose.

    Merry Christmas and beyond.

    A Christmas Message that keeps on Giving - Pre-existence. Intro: 1. It is not possible to stress the importance of knowing who Jesus Christ is too much. He is the basis of our faith. I thought it would be good to go beyond a little baby Jesus sermon and in the coming messages give you the truth ...read more

    How Could Anything Exist Unless God Had Created And Sustained It?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 31, 2025
     | 134 views

    This takes us to the central Scripture of this Sunday, the beautiful and even humorous tale of Zaccheus, the renegade Jew. I call him “renegade” because only such a person would collect taxes for the despised Roman occupiers of the Jewish homeland.

    Thirty-first Sunday Integral 2025 (yr C) The book of Wisdom, which we have heard recently, is a late OT writing that is preserved in Greek rather than Hebrew. Its theology is very advanced. Here the writer addresses God poetically as creator, ruler and master of wisdom: “Before the LORD the whole ...read more

    Why do bad things happen to good people? Suffering gets our attention and reminds us that we cannot make it without God.

    Why Do Good People Suffer? Luke 13:1-9 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION Today, I want to speak to you on “Why Do Good People Suffer?” I’ve preached on suffering before. In fact, one lady wrote me a note reading, “Pastor, I never knew what suffering was until I heard you preach. Now I know.” Some ...read more

    Why I Believe Christianity Is True

    Contributed by Neil Richardson on Mar 12, 2008

    We come from a Designer, which should cause us to consider what the point of life is; this can only be found in Jesus Christ.

    Where do we come from? 1. Random accident 2. Designer Who are we? 1. A collection of molecules 2. A significant creature with an eternal soul If 1 is true, what is purpose of life? 1a.

     | 4,860 views

    Why should we humble ourselves to do menial and low level jobs for others? Because Jesus humbled himself to wash the disciles feet.

    Why Should I Do It? 7/15/2018 John 13:12-17 Acts 1:1-11 Have you ever been in a situation in which somebody asked you to do something that you really didn’t want to do it, and you even thought it was unfair for them to ask you to do it.

    Why Is The Kingdom Open To The ‘least Of These’? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 20, 2026
     | 228 views

    We are familiar with Jesus talking about "the least of these," but why are they a target of the Kingdom? This parable gives us insight into that question.

    AN INTERESTING QUESTION: How did we get to the place where “the least of these” is such a focus of the Kingdom? - Luke 14:12-15. - You are probably tired of hearing me repeat that important interpretation principle: context is key. - Most of you fully know what I mean but for anyone visiting, let ...read more

     | 1,957 views

    In answer to the question, “Why did God become man?” we learn that God became man to solve a problem only he could solve.

    Introduction Christmas is a wonderful day. The secular culture celebrates Christmas as a time to party and share gifts. Christians, however, celebrate Christmas because it is Jesus’ birthday.
