    Holy To The Lord Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 19, 2022
     | 1,897 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 14:17-21 focuses on the wise leadership of Christ during the Millennium and the glorious presence of God at that time. The crowning subject of this book is HOLINESS.

    Intro The book of Zechariah ends on an extremely positive note. During the Millennium, the hopes and dreams of God’s people will be realized like never before. The perfection that will be in the new heaven and the new earth is not entirely realized. But compared to the previous ages, the Millennium ...read more

    Follow Jesus Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025
     | 204 views

    Following Jesus means trusting His leadership, surrendering self-rule, embracing transformation, and walking daily with the Shepherd whose presence shapes every step.

    There is a tenderness in the way Jesus calls people. He never shouts to impress the crowd. He never manipulates the moment. He never forces Himself upon anyone. Instead, He speaks in a way that reaches the deepest places of the heart and invites a response that is both personal and ...read more

    4 of 4. Habakkuk faced the disconcerting/unsettling dilemma of Divine 'inaction' towards His people, Judah. What makes, or How is Divine inaction unsettling? 4 fabrications that either: accentuate the dilemma—OR—that muddy/confuse/obscure the answer of God’s inaction.

    God's Gift Of The Magi

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015
     | 5,528 views

    The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

    Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened. The craziness of the Christmas season is over for the secular world, but here in the church, we have some more of the Christmas story to ...read more

    When You Run God's Red Light… Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jun 29, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,270 views

    In the pages of the Old Testament in the book of Joshua we find a story – a rather frightening story – about how worldliness and compromise really hurt the people of God and brought on God’s judgement.

    Which of God’s red lights are you most likely to run? Certainly, His top ten red lights are found in the Old Testament book of Exodus, chapter 20 – the Ten Commandments. “You shall have no other gods before Me.” When you consider not just the surface understanding of the command but the richer ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,717 views

    Death is a great loss to a carnal, worldly man, for he loses all his earthly comforts and all his hopes; but to a true believer it is gain, for it is the end of all his weakness and misery.

    Dying to Live Text: Philippians 1: 21 21For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Introduction: Death is a great loss to a carnal, worldly man, for he loses all his earthly comforts and all his hopes; but to a true believer it is gain, for it is the end of all his weakness ...read more

    A two-part series on the kingdom of God and what makes it so special and different from worldly kingdoms. It is a unique place ruled by a unique king with a unique purpose, salvation of its subjects!

    A UNIQUE KINGDOM Text: II Corinthians 6:16-18 INTRODUCTION 1. In times past much meaning was placed on the word church a. In the dark ages "the church" ran everything b.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,006 views

    The difference between the peace of God and the peace this world seeks and offers is that worldly peace is only in the mind (on a piece of paper or words). God’s peace is settled deeply in our hearts.

    TITLE: "PEACE" TEXT: Colossians 3:15 INTRODUCTION: Peace on earth? We are a nation that knows no LASTING PEACE. In the world around us: In our nation: There is a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between the peace the world seeks and the peace that comes from God. 1.) WORLDLY Peace. ...read more

    Wisdom In Wealth

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,071 views

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    Luke 16:1-13 Wisdom in Wealth What if you came to church one Sunday, and your pastor got up to give the sermon and said, “I don’t have a clue what this means!” Well, I’m pretty close to that with today’s passage. Maybe you could relate to that kind of pastor, since sometimes the Bible is just hard ...read more

    Let God Be Judge Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jul 7, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,623 views

    One of the characteristics of a worldly minded Christian is a judgmental spirit. This sermon draws a distinction between speaking the truth about sin, and lifting ourselves up as the judge over other people's behavior.

    If you have ever seen a court proceeding in England, you will have noticed that British judges and lawyers still wear Victorian era wigs at certain times in the proceedings. Most important, a judge will put on a long white wig prior to announcing the verdict to a defendant. There is a reason for ...read more

    When we follow Jesus, we are stepping into a new life that leaves an old life behind. It will cost us some of our worldly ambitions, but it will give us so much more.

    Following Jesus: The Cost Luke 9:23 Introduction Following Jesus means we hear his invitation to come and see, listen to His teaching, act upon what we learn from Him.

    The Lord is not against us gathering up some savings, or fill our closet with a few dresses and suits. But our faith and trust should be be rooted in something other than worldly possessions.

    Jesus taught about good works and giving. “Be careful! When you do something good, don’t do it in front of others so that they will see you. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “When you give to those who are poor, don’t announce that you are giving. Don’t be like ...read more

    Here, the Israelites became distracted from their purpose by a desire for worldly gain. They sought a more luxurious existence, with the ease of someone else doing all the work, and they ran from battle and confrontation.

    In 1797 the governor of Louisiana granted Daniel Boone ten thousand acres of land in Missouri; however, he failed to make the trip to New Orleans to complete the title. He instead became distracted by an opportunity to be appointed chief of the district of St. Charles.(1) While he was ...read more
