    "a Crypt-Tic Tale:" The Rich Man And Lazarus

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.

    Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,680 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

    In your pursuit of meaning in life, look beyond your own hands; look beyond your own head; and look beyond your own heart. Look beyond the sun to the Lord, who died for you and rose again.

    The Samaritan Appointment

    Our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't afraid of those who were the “cast off” of society; the sinners, the lepers, the Samaritans, and neither should we.

    The Samaritan Appointment John 4:1-26 As I’m sure you all know, during Biblical times, the Jews and the Samaritans were locked in a bitter rivalry, but in case you didn’t know, it partially began back when the Kingdom was torn apart—when it became a divided kingdom after Solomon's death and ...read more

    There's a heart that fits this day perfectly, a day where we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or what the world calls “Easter.” There is a hope for our world, and that hope is Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and is alive.

    Debido a que Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos, nosotros también... pero antes de irnos, somos transformados en algo que él quiere que seamos. Quiere que anhelemos la muerte y nuestra vida futura con él.

    The False Prophet At Bethel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 14, 2025
     | 669 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

(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
