Contributed by Steve Wilson on Jun 11, 2012

This is the fourth sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

God the Spirit provides the conviction necessary to receive the truth of the gospel of grace.

Scripture Introduction I have wondered (and maybe you have also) what it was like to see Jesus walk on the earth.

"It Is For Your Good That I Am Going Away."

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 21, 2013

We often wish Jesus was still here today. We envy the disciples who had God in their presence. They could be with him and talk with him-physically. But here we see Jesus telling them that it’s a good thing that he’s leaving them. Let’s find out why.

He Overcame Series

Contributed by Richard White on Oct 20, 2012

I gleaned this from a book by RC Sproul by the same title "12 Promises Christians struggle with". The question is Do we believe God or Not?

He Overcame John 16:33ff One of the main reasons we have a problems accepting the promises of God is SIN. Sin comes so naturally to us that our default position is not to believe God. Adam and Eve failed to believe God, when the Father of lies told them “You will surely not die, you ...read more

Lack of belief is a sin because if you don't understand that reunion with God is the purpose of life, you will wind up lost. Literally.

I was 8 years old when my family moved to Brazil. Everything changed: language, food, customs, weather. And one of the things that I at least did not expect was the absence of school buses. If Dad couldn’t take us we had to take public transportation: a taxi, a tram, a bus. We usually took a city ...read more

Benefits Of Persecution Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023

In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more

Being Persecuted

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 2, 2022

Suffering may not be a common topic of conversation in our lives but suffering for the sake of Jesus, being persecuted because we follow Him, is something Jesus told us to expect.

As we live our Christian lives there are a lot of questions that are related to the Christian Life that don't really fall into life and death categories. Questions like: what's your favorite version of the bible? How can I be a better group member? Or the BIG ALL-IMPORTANT QUESTION: if a ...read more

Sing In The Power Of The Holy Spirit For A World In Desperate Need Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2021

The Holy Spirit should be our constant counselor and guide. We are under tremendous pressure in the Christian churches and schools these days.
