Sermons on Wicked Humans:

No Ipod Jesus Series

Contributed by Mike Wilkins on Jan 15, 2007

The Unhindered Gospel In The Hindered Church Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 9, 2009

I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

The Unhindered Gospel in the Hindered Church A 20th century philosopher, Gamaliel Bradford, once said that “Life is hope triumphing over experience.” In those words, he summed up 20th century optimism. He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more

What Is Heaven Like? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 1, 2006

We see in Revelation 4 that the first words John hears are worship - and that the highest order of angels and the best of the redeemed humans bow to God - what does that tell us about our activities here on earth?

Chapter 4 marks a huge shift in the book of the Revelation. First, we leave the epistle section of chapters 2 and 3 where Jesus Himself wrote to the church. Second we leave the church age itself. Third we enter into the main section of the book - apocalyptic literature takes over from epistle. ...read more

God Must Be Crazy

Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Jan 19, 2005

People understand "crazy" in different ways. We label others as "crazy" for being eccentric or mean or insane or different. God is "crazy" because he loves humanity too much, something that does not make sense.

God Must Be Crazy! Hosea 11:1-11 At this stage in my life I believe that God is crazy. Some of you reading this will say to me, “You are crazy for saying such things about God.” I will answer you by saying that if you do not think so after reading this sermon then you are the one who is crazy.

Redemption #16 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Mar 8, 2005

BEFORE God created a single grain of sand, before a single human was formed, before there was a single moonbeam, God loved you and made a plan of redemption, just for you. My, friend, that’s love!!!!

In the past few lessons, I have tried to establish a workable introduction to the eternal and infinite subject of Biblical redemption. In the last lesson, we saw that the subject of redemption is vast, and is interlaced and interdependent on many other Biblical subjects. 1. The essence of God ...read more

Rejection is a universal experience that none of us escapes. The words of Jesus in verse 46 of Matthew 27 introduce us to a side of the human drama that will benefit us all: How do I cope with rejection and loneliness?

From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” – which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.” ...read more

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 10, 2005

Conflict is a part of our human existence. This sermon looks at the way Paul handled a conflict between two women in the church of Philippi and hightlights concepts that we can use today to live at peace with each other.

A Fork in the Hand… When I was in junior high school, I witnessed a fight that I will never forget. Two girls were arguing in the cafeteria and a crowd gathered to watch.

A Life Of Freedom (By Pastor Jose Gomez Jr.)

Contributed by Jose Gomez Sr. on Sep 12, 2005

There is freedom available from sin and weakness. But, there are no human actions or works that help save us. It is only through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made that we can ever hope to be boundless, limitless, and truly free.

Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with ...read more

Review – children of God, bride of Christ: Loved, desired, God takes pleasure in us. Valentines day is a few days away. So it is appropriate we cover this subject this week.

Jesus Is King

Contributed by Andy Payne on Apr 5, 2010

The story of the Bible is the greatest of all stories. It is the story of Christ and His entering into the struggle of humanity in order to rescue his fallen creation. The great story of Christ permeates all of Scripture including every individual scene.

We all love a comeback story. Today is Easter, or as I like to call it, Resurrection Sunday. The Resurrection story is about victory rising out of suffering and defeat. It is the story of the greatest comeback in human history!

The Gift Of The Gospel

Contributed by James Maroney on Feb 28, 2014

The Gospel is the GREATEST gift we could give any human being. That being said, it is important that ministry, and saints alike, learn that the spreading of that gospel is not giving people what they WANT to hear, but what they NEED to hear.

“The Gift of the Gospel” Romans 1:1-11 Charles Spurgeon once said, “Where the gospel is fully and powerfully preached, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, our churches do not only hold their own, but win converts; but when that which constitutes their strength is gone-we ...read more
