Sermons on Yochanan 3:30:

The Voice

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Dec 29, 2024

John knew who he was; "I am the voice". A voice is temporary. A voice is fleeting. A voice is fading. John saw himself as a fading voice that is crying out in the wilderness. Each generation has a voice, and we are the temporary voice for this time for this place.

In 1948, ...a remarkable religious phenomenon occurred... in the United States. It began in a tent ... near Hollywood California, ...under the preaching ... of a young evangelist. The crowds were sparse at first ... but as the preaching continued, ... the crowds began to grow. At first, ... ...read more

Consumed With God: The Pursuit Of God Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 23, 2024

We are consumed by God completely… while our obsession used to be selfishness and self destruction and we were very excited about that, we now pursue knowing God with abandon.

My wife tells me that I sometimes become nearly obsessed with certain things. I get so focused on something it consumes me. I fall into the pool after staring into it too long. Are you like that? I have a bit of an obsessive, addictive personality. I want it and I want more. I want to learn more. ...read more

Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025

Jonah as a prophet of God did not give God the rightful place. When we obey God, serve Him alone, and set aside all that displeases Him, we will truly honor God and give Him the rightful place in our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:7, “But God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn of the next day, and it struck the plant, and it withered.” (LITV) As Jonah enjoyed the shade of the plant that God had prepared for him, the Lord appointed a worm that obeyed God’s bidding, and ate up the plant, so that it ...read more

Some For A Reason, Some For A Season, And Some For A Lifetime

Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025

Have you ever wondered why God places certain people in your life or calls you to a specific task? Some callings are meant to fulfill a specific purpose, others to last only for a season, and a few are designed to span a lifetime—all serving God’s greater plan for His kingdom.

Some for a REASON, some for a SEASON, and some for a LIFETIME The concept that “God calls some into a specific ministry for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime” reflects the biblical understanding of the variety, purpose, and timing of God’s callings. Throughout Scripture, we see ...read more
