    Why Do You Ask? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,415 views

    Neither conservatives nor liberals are really interested in learning; all want their opinions confirmed. Jesus teaches us how to deal with both by asking questions to test the argumentative spirit, to test honesty, and to get people to listen to their ow

    Some folks want their religion to confirm everything they’ve already committed to, but other folks want, or say they want, a religion that will challenge to change. And there isn’t much common ground between these two types. Or is there? Some folks want their religion to confirm everything ...read more

     | 4,365 views

    The Revelation was never intended to be take literally. Now, before you get angry with me, let me tell you that I do take the Revelation seriously and I do take it literally. This book is of vital importance.

    I. Introduction A. Under the Romans 1. At the time of the Greek Empire, the Jews asked Rome for help a. The reason was that the Greek King had persecuted the Jews, desecrated the temple, and murdered faithful followers of Jehovah. b. The Romans were their liberators, at first c. ...read more

    I guess my dad summed it up pretty simply. In fact, I was taken back at his statement. He said,“You know how I would answer that question, why I should be baptized? Because the Bible says to do it.”

    Why Should I Be Baptized? Introduction: Last week we took a look at several facts concerning Biblical baptism. Just a recap: The Authority = In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit The Method = 5 requirements o Water o Much water o Going to the water o Going down into the water o Coming up ...read more

    Why I Chose Salvation

    Why do poeple choose to be saved? Why did you choose to be saved? If the choice is based upon the right thing, there would be less backsliding.

    WHY I CHOSE SALVATION By Pastor Jim May I don’t remember exactly how old I was when I first began to understand that I was a sinner in need of a Savior. I can remember as far back as maybe the age of 5 or 6 years old when I would go to church, sit in the Sunday School classes and hear Sis. ...read more

    Discovering Your "Why” In Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2024
     | 580 views

    The will of the Father wasn’t an optional thing for Jesus; it was an essential thing. It wasn’t a cul-de-sac, but it was His main thoroughfare. Just as you were to finish a big porterhouse steak, Jesus is satisfied by doing the Father’s will. It was His source of life.

    Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know your “why”? Many American Christians fall into the trap that exists only to make money or to be happy. Do you know why God has placed you here on earth? Do you know your “why”? Invitation At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to ...read more

    Let us resolve that we will not hide the sayings from of old in the Scriptures; rather, we will tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. Let us make known the faithfulness of the Lord.

    Psalm 78:1-8 We Will Not Hide Them 1/1/06 D. Marion Clark Introduction Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth! I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. ...read more

    We Want A King Series

     | 2,974 views

    Long before the British royalty, the Bible tells the story of Israel’s royalty. Yet, many of us know so much less about Israel’s royal line than England’s royal line.

    On the birthday of “The King” Elvis Presley, I am grateful to have you join me for a study of royalty. Some people think that America may have never known “President” George Washington had he had a desire to be King George I. George Washington is our nation’s first military hero because he ...read more

    As the world continues to get worse and worse, many question why God continues to allow evil and suffering to proliferate? Will, in this sermon we will address those questions

    Today we’re going to address a very important question. Why does God allow evil and suffering? We’re going to get a little deep and heavy as we address this question. So, stay with me!

    This sermon examines the institution of the Lord’s Supper and discusses its importance as a concrete reminder of the basics of Christianity which we must never, never forsake or forget.

    Lest We Forget January 20, 2002 Introduction When I was growing up in West Texas cicada (pronounced sikad) “locusts” like the one pictured on the screen filled the giant elm trees at times. During the heat of the summer the shrill buzzing sound of their mating call filled the air. To this ...read more

    Why So Long In Slavery? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 12, 2015
    based on 30 ratings
     | 28,890 views

    Why did God allow Israel to even be in slavery? And why did He allow it for so long? The answers to these questions tell us much about the chains God would free us from in our lives.

    (Props – 10 foot length of ¼ inch chain; a cross on stage that can handle the weight of the chain) OPEN: I once read the story of a marketplace in northern India where people brought their wares to trade and sell.

    Sermon warns us that if we forsake Christ we forsake our only hope to save us from our deserving judgment.

    WHY DO YOU SMITE ME NOW? Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of ...read more

    Why 2,000 Years Ago Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Dec 6, 2018
     | 6,713 views

    Why did Jesus Come when He did. Why not before? Why not later? We will see that God had just the right time in history, like none other, for Jesus to come.

    Why 2 thousand years ago? Think about it, the land of Israel was occupied by the Romans. A pagan nation ruled over Israel and the Jewish people were in a state of upheaval, and the priestly system was corrupt. If Jesus came as a Ruler, or as a King, as a warrior Messiah, to drive out the Romans, ...read more

    In the words of C.S. Lewis, we are in the process of what we will be eternally; "immortal horrors, or everlasting splendors"

    1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He ...read more
