    There is a great difference between light and darkness, not just in the physical world, but also in the spiritual world. This sermon describes what living in the world of spiritual darkness is like and helps the hearers find out why Christians - - who are

    Introduction Brian Warner once said: “Initially I was drawn into the darker side of life. But it’s really just human nature. I started to learn that everything that’s considered a sin is what makes you a human being. All the seven deadly sins are man’s true nature—to be greedy, to be hateful, to ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,325 views

    A genuis is someone who shoots at a target no one else sees and hits it. It doesn’t take a genuis to agree that Kingdom Values are in our best interest as a child of God. Let’s see why!

    Introduction Recently, with everything happening in our world, it makes us step back and take a theraputic deep breath and we are almost forced to ask ourselves, "What’s the most imporant thing in my life." i.e. "Who is it that’s the most valuable to me." Let’s make a list: Family, finances, ...read more

    The word “ignorant” occurs 13 times in the Bible and is connected with some important spiritual facts we should all know and never forget. That is why today we cover the spiritual Truth that God is always near.

    IGNORANT SERIES: GOD IS ALWAYS NEAR PSALM 73:21-28 INTRODUCTION According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the word “ignorant” means unaware or uniformed. I would like us, for the next few weeks, to look at some spiritual facts that you may be unaware of or have forgotten. Most of the time ...read more

    Because God loved us, He gave us wondrous gifts... but why did He go to such lengthes to tell us how wicked we’d been before we recieved those gifts?

    OPEN: A young, married Bible College graduate and his bride were unpacking in their first parsonage. The young bride showed the young preacher a box and told him that he had to promise never to look in it. It was her personal box. He made the promise, but after 25 years he happened to see it on ...read more

    based on 13 ratings

    If you want to know where your life is headed then take a look at those you associate with. Samson ignored the warning signs. The cost of low living is always high, let’s see why.

    Introduction More often than not, many are so short sighted in their walk with the Lord that they are looking only as far as their next fleshly pleasure. The cost of low living is high! We have the best example of this in the life of Samson. He failed to heed the warning signs. He could of ...read more

    You Can't Tell Some People Anything Series

    based on 91 ratings
     | 19,690 views

    This passage contains one of the most tragic but repeated statements in all Scripture: "We will not listen to God..." Why did the Jews say it and how can we avoid the same error in our lives and in our churches?

    OPEN: A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner "Mom & Pop" grocery store picking out a pretty good size box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over and, trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do. "Oh, no laundry," the boy said. "I’m going to wash my ...read more

    Advent-- a time to prepare for the coming of Christ into our world and lives-- points us to the Christmas miracle! "Christmas for millions is just the holiday season. Are we losing the sense of marvel at the Christmas miracle? Why, this is the most stu

    All over our nation, there is unmistakeable evidence that that there are those who want to bar Christ from Christmas.

    Defending The 10 Commandments

    Contributed by Dave Kinney on Mar 4, 2005
    based on 55 ratings
     | 5,349 views

    Sadly Christianity has lost ground over the last 40 years! Why? The main reason…the 10 commandments have been aggressively attacked in America and reduced this country to a moronic and miniscule mindset of morals!

    “Defending The 10 Commandments” Exodus 20:1-17 Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. Notices that it says get “wisdom” and not “knowledge”. I believe that the application of knowledge by way of Biblical wisdom is paramount for the believer in today’s world! We live ...read more

    based on 76 ratings
     | 16,262 views

    Why are so many people unable to obtain intimacy with God the way Paul did? Intimacy with God means that one has such a tight relationship that your thoughts are closely related with His all of His attributes

    The Sons Of God And The Daughters Of Men Series

    based on 199 ratings
     | 21,664 views

    Who are the sons of God and why did their marriage to the daughters of men produce violence and unrestrained sin in the world? Jesus used this as a reference to the sign of His second coming, so how do we apply this today?

    The Sons of God and the Daughters of Men Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 ...read more

    An exploration of possible reasons why Jesus’ disciples must leave everything and follow Him – eliminating all but the fact that His call makes sense when we realize that He gave up everything for us.

    "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."

    Change the Image "For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

     | 3,638 views

    Why do you suppose so many people are unwilling to engage in new ministries? Could it be that they somehow have not grown in their knowledge, faith and intimacy with a God who promises to deliver those who trust in Him

    He is Able to Deliver You (Matt 4:1-12) Why do you suppose so many people are unwilling to engage in new ministries?

    "I Thirst" Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 9, 2003
    based on 246 ratings
     | 136,664 views

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there was at least three reasons why God inspired to John to record that statment. This sermons looks at those three reasons.

    Last week our fourth statement from the cross that we looked at was perhaps the most agonizing statement of all. I believe as Christ took on the sins of the world, that sin that was upon Him separated Him from His Father and in that time of spiritual agony He cried out, “My God, my God, why ...read more
