Sermons on Wicked Mothers:

Are We Our Brothers’ Keepers?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on May 25, 2025

Jesus at the cross introduced his mother to John, from that we can infer that we are our brothers’ keepers.

John 19: 25-27 Standing close to Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so, he said to his mother, “He is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “She is your mother.” From that ...read more

The Psalm Of The Two Ways

Contributed by Howard Mcglamery on Jan 30, 2003

How can we be sure to establish a God-centered life rather than an ungodly life. Psalm 1 is a description of the wicked and the righteous. It describes both the God-centered life and the self-centered life.

The Psalm Of The Two Ways Psalm 1 I claim little originality for this sermon. Much of this came from a commentary by the late Ray Stedman. Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the ...read more

A Conversation With God Series

Contributed by David Nolte on Aug 3, 2018

"i Will Proclaim The Truth" Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 24, 2020

The Bible says that both people and society will grow more wicked as the time approaches for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The preacher is to face this with the soul-convicting, life transforming power of the Word and Spirit, no matter the cost.

Anyone who makes the ridiculous statement that the Bible is merely a human book, and nothing more than a collection of inspiring stories has let others do their thinking for them, mimicking someone else's skepticism, or have claimed to have read it to end up condemning what it says about the ...read more

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023

Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more

Joseph: Reunited With His Family Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 13, 2022

Joseph was separated from his family at the age of 17 not because of war, but because of the wicked jealousy of his own brothers. In their jealousy they sold Joseph into slavery and presented his ornamented coat to their father. God used this for his purposes.
