A comparison between the U2 song, "With or Without You" and Paul’s teaching on marriage and our relationship with Christ.

-As we’ve discussed in the past, in this first letter to the Corinthians, Paul is basically responding to their questions -Even though Paul spent considerable time in Corinth (in Acts 18, Luke tells us that Paul stayed there for a year and a half), they still had some major theological and very ...read more

Within, Without Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 11, 2008

Paul and John Mark, a study in maturing relationships. John Mark starts out young and conflicted; he is insecure around the powerful Paul; but Paul grows to accept him and think of him as useful.

The Scripture texts I will be using today are scattered through several chapters in the Book of Acts, plus other locations in the New Testament. And so instead of simply reading passage after passage, let me put together a vignette, a character sketch, in order to make the life of John Mark ...read more

Without Hindrance Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 24, 2008

For Lent and for Black History Month, with a focus on Africa: the purposes of God will be accomplished, though not without difficulties and sacrifice. Examples of African Christians to show this truth.

I cannot imagine how Paul did it. Here he is, in prison, chained to a soldier, and he is talking about hope and making plans for the future. How can anyone with half a brain do that? Does he not understand how perilous is his predicament? Chained! Awaiting trial! And yet he can say, “It is ...read more

Without A Doubt

Contributed by Gregg Rustulka on Mar 29, 2008

As we walk with God in our daily lives “doubt” seems to rise up consistently. When we talk about our faith, our assurance, or having confidence it can be easily recognized that the opposite of these is DOUBT.

Without A Doubt Scripture: John 20: 24 - 29 Key Verse: “Then Jesus said to him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’” Ill: One day John Wesley was walking with a troubled man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness ...read more

Without Wavering

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 11, 2009

Funeral sermon for Howard Abernethy, the church’s longest-standing member. He lived without wavering from old values, from his church, from his friendships.

Howard Abernethy approached me after worship one Sunday and said that he and his wife wanted to invite Margaret and me on a little excursion. It would be a day on the railroad. He had learned that my grandfather had been a railroad mechanic, and thought maybe we were kindred spirits. Howard ...read more

Without A Word

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Nov 13, 2006

Considers the vital role of God’s Word in our lives, what it would be like if there were not Bible, and what it is like to ignore it.

Intro – Some of you watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” in the past couple of weeks. Sure enough, just like last year, George Bailey wished he’d never been born, and he got to see what the world would have been like if he had never existed. It was just a little over a year ago, I asked everyone to ...read more

Without Christ

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 1, 2013

I believe that we all understand that along with the rest of the world, we were once WITHOUT CHRIST. There’s no way I can describe for you the great misery that lies in those two words.

Without A Prayer

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 25, 2016

An apologetic for the effectiveness of prayer, based on all the Scriptures where it is evident that prayer made a difference. Inductive in nature.

Have you noticed this morning that, so far, we haven’t prayed much. We prayed once. One prayer. ____ seconds long. I wonder how many of you here this morning, (except for being in SS), realized at that point that you hadn’t prayed yet today. Has that ever happened to you? Have ...read more

Not Without Blood

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2019

The ratification of the old covenant did not take place without blood. But it took the blood of Christ to bear away our sins, once and forever!

NOT WITHOUT BLOOD. Hebrews 9:15-28. In continuing to compare and contrast the old covenant and the new, we have seen how the high priest would enter the ‘Holiest of All’ (Hebrews 9:3), alone, once a year (on the Day of Atonement) ‘not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ...read more
