    The False Prophet At Bethel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 14, 2025
     | 666 views

    Just because one claims to be an old prophet doesn't mean he's a true prophet. This message recounts what happened to a true prophet who listened to an old but false prophet. The true prophet paid dearly.

    Introduction: Bethel was the scene of some good encounters between people and the LORD. Sadly it was also a place where Jeroboam established a false religion, centering on the worship of a golden calf. The background for this message comes from 1 Kings 12-13 Full disclosure: Sermon Central has ...read more

    Public Prayers And Private Prayers

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 982 views

    Today with God’s help I am going to be preaching on two kinds of PRAYERS

    Why? (1) Because much of the preaching that preachers preach about today is about PRIVATE PRAYERS only. (2) They SELDOM EVER preach on PUBLIC PRAYERS making the distinction between PUBLIC and PRIVATE. Both of these kinds of prayers are taught throughout the scriptures and should be preached. ...read more

    This message summarizes why our understanding and remembrance of Black history is so important to how we see ourselves and walk in our future. It must be instilled into the next generation.

    Why Black History Scripture: Deuteronomy 4:7-10; 6:5-12; Genesis 9:21-25 Good morning Strangers Rest.

    3 of 6. The apostle Peter encouraged the Churches to bolster/strengthen their faith in Christ, in order to provide an abundant entrance to God’s kingdom. God’s people are obligated to further their faith. ?What does ‘Furthering Your Faith’ involve or entail? Furthering Your Faith involves...

    Discernings Of Spirits Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 27, 2024
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,920 views

    This message discusses the supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit called "Discernings of Spirits" in 1 Corinthians 12:10. This gift unveils the spiritual realm, and its operation often precedes exorcism. It is a protection from deception.

    Intro In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul raises the subject of spiritual manifestations. He lists nine gifts or manifestations of the Spirit. We have examined the first six and now come to the seventh, discernings of spirits. I begin reading in verse 7. “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each ...read more

    The Name You Can Rely On Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 2, 2025
     | 373 views

    Jesus stepped in, not to handle something minor, but to take on our greatest need—our separation from God. His sacrifice doesn’t just make life “nicer.” It changes everything. Do you see Jesus as someone who did you a small favor or as your Savior who paid your greatest debt?

    Several decades ago, Gary Campman wrote about five love languages. They are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. These five love languages describe different ways people give and receive love. Each of us has a primary love language, and often, ...read more

    Reaping What You Sow

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 27, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 619 views

    This sermon explores how every thought, word, and action sows seeds that lead to a spiritual harvest—whether of destruction through lust, fear, and pride, or of eternal life through repentance, obedience, and walking in the Spirit—urging believers to live purposefully, sowing for the glory of God.

    Sowing Seeds, Reaping Consequences 2 Samuel 11-12; Numbers 29:7-12; Numbers 13-14; Galatians 6:8 Does it really matter how we live our lives?

    The Bible in several locations mentions we are IN CHRIST as believers. • Galatians 3:26 • I Peter 5:14 • Romans 8:1 • Colossians 3:3

    What does this mean we are IN CHRIST? Because we cannot stand in these sinful mortal bodies before a holy God of heaven, He has to clothe us in the sinless body of Christ. • In II Cor. 5:21 when we accept His sacrifice on our behalf, that is we give Him our filthy righteous and He gives us His ...read more

    Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,679 views

    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more
