Sermons on Wrong Motives:

I Am Holy Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 18, 2021

In that moment, when Jesus paid the penalty for our sin, something wonderful happened. He came down from the cross, took all His holiness and wove it into a suit of clothes and gave it to you and me. We walk around today wearing the holiness of Jesus Christ.

Pastor and author John MacArthur remembers a conversation that he once had with a well-known charismatic pastor who told MacArthur that Jesus sometimes comes into his bathroom while he’s shaving in the morning and puts his arms around him and they talk together. I love MacArthur’s incredulous ...read more

First Samuel 30:1-31 shows us how God turns tragedy into triumph.

Scripture The last few chapters of First Samuel switch between David and Saul. David’s temporary unfaithfulness caused him to go and live in Philistia.

Taking A Risk For Jesus Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 18, 2022

The kingdom of God is brought near to others when I take a risk for the sake of the kingdom

ENGAGE I’m going to begin this morning with a question: How many of you want to be like Ananias? No one? That is probably because many of you either thought to yourself “Who is Ananias?” or else you were thinking of the Ananias back in Acts 5 who was immediately killed by God when he and his ...read more

This sermon is an introduction to the series titled "Do Not Conform, Be Transformed" and provides a broad overview of the book of Romans along with the negative patterns in the world.

The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit – The Gifts Of Revelation

The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022

This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

[Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

Be Steadfast

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022

At a church fellowship supper, some Christian men were talking about their jobs.

One of them spoke up and said, “I have a good job offer but it would require that I would have to move too far from the church.” The man he was talking to said, “Take the job, you can always find another church somewhere else!” This man’s answer is typical of many people in our age. That is, ...read more
