    Euodia and Syntche will forever be remembered for not getting along in the church at Philippi. What did Paul have to say about Church members in conflict?

    “WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?” To many of us the L. A. riots of several years ago were just a news story. A score of people were killed and several thousand were injured in the ensuing fights that erupted over a racially charged situation. The African-American community in L.A. correctly ...read more

    Consider what we believe: 1. About the method of baptism. 2. About the meaning of baptism. 3. About the motive for baptism.

    Why We Believe What We Believe about Baptism Matthew 3:13-15 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - Jan. 9, 2013 *Baptism is a big deal in Ukraine. Most churches don't have a baptistery, and the winters are very cold, so they only get to baptize once or twice a year. On those days the ...read more

    Our fallen condition demands that God must provide a Saviour if we will be saved. We cannot redeem ourselves.

    “While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have ...read more

    The Story Of Esau And Jacob - Why It's Destructive To Hold A Grudge

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 8, 2013
     | 18,707 views

    For those of us who have or maybe are holding grudges now, I hope you understand how destructive it is for you. It's impossible to love those you hold a grudge against.

    Have you ever held a grudge? I have. I was once accused of plagiarizing material I wrote for a small group study. The person who accused me wanted to fire me, but, didn't have the authority himself to do it, so he tried to diminish my character by accusing me of stealing my material. I have to ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,264 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

    We've prayed so long, so hard, without any results. There is great assurance that He hears every prayer. He has made everything beautiful in its time. The longer a prayer is delayed, the more perfect it will come forth at last. The deeper the silence, the louder the answer.

    WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? “So, I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Luke 11:9) We've prayed so long and so hard without any results. There is great assurance that ...read more

    Sheep listen to the shepherd's voice. We need to hear God so that we can be directed by Him, devoted to Him and dependent on Him.

    HEARING GOD – WHY WE NEED TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE Before refrigerators, people used ice houses to preserve their food. Ice houses had thick walls, no windows, and a tightly fitted door. In winter, when streams and lakes were frozen, large blocks of ice were cut, hauled to the ice houses, and covered ...read more
