    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 6,191 views

    One of the things that parable points out is that actions have consequences. That means that we have choices that have consequences both good and bad.

    UNLOCKING POTENTIAL Text: Matthew 13:31 - 33 Have you ever underestimated the potential of anything? It only takes a spark to get a fire going right? Just think of the potential that lies within a match. One match has the potential to burn down a forest. When Jesus told the ...read more

    Discipleship And Distortion (September 20, 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 3,669 views

    In this passage of scripture, we can see three things. First, we can see where caution hinders compassion. Secondly, we can see where compassion builds community. Finally, we can see where members of the community must be accountable to God and each other.

    DISCIPLESHIP AND DISTORTION Text: Mark 9:38 – 50 There is the story of an army chaplain who once told his men that he did not believe in hell. Some of his men responded by saying that his services would no longer be needed. The one who tells this story (Warren W. Wiersbe) also says ...read more

    Thorns And Grace (July 2012).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 7,034 views

    Perhaps one of the most intriguing passages of scripture is that of Paul's mention of the "thorn in his flesh." Paul expounded upon his metaphor of the thorn as he said that it was something that kept his pride in check.

    THORNS AND GRACE 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 I remember going barefoot as a ten year old kid, when I was living in Aiken as a preacher’s kid. As I was going barefoot, I wound up stepping on a board that had three nails in it. The pain got my attention and definitely ...read more

    Cheap Or Costly Grace Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 9, 2021
     | 1,872 views

    Like the old Bob Dylan song, we all serve somebody. Do we serve sin or righteousness. All scripture references are from the NASB.

    This sermon series we’re dealing with discipleship. As true believers, as those who are saved by grace (for it was not from anything we have done or earned), how are we to live? This is the whole point of discipleship, learning to follow Jesus, to walk in his steps, to be like the master. Romans ...read more

    INTRODUCTION • God heard the cry of the Israelites; He delivered them from the hands of the Egyptians; they are now free! • Why did God do this? • This goes to the question as to why God created us in the first place? • Honestly, the way you answer that question will determine how you live your ...read more

    We can believe God and struggle to believe at the same time. But Jesus will accept us, even in our struggle.

    INTRODUCTION • Have you ever been desperate for something—like when you’re thirsty or hungry and are desperate for anything that will fill you? • Or if you’re in a lot of pain and will take anything to take the pain away? • Our doubt can come from disappointment, but doubt can also desperately ...read more

    Comforting God’s People

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 4, 2023
     | 1,257 views

    Today’s text echoes what we see throughout scripture about how the Lord disciplines His children. God disciplines us because He loves us.

    COMFORTING GOD’S PEOPLE (December 6, 2020) Text: Isaiah 40: 1 - 11 Isaiah 40:1 -11: Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the Lord’s hand ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,311 views

    Moses was willing to refuse to be known as a son of Pharoah’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). If you had been Moses, could you have made the same choice? Today, we will look at Grit, Growth and Glory because those three are connected.

    FAITH MATTERS Hebrews 11: 24-26, 29-34, By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, (25) choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

    Perspective And Persuasion (March 20, 2009)

     | 1,218 views

    Unlike Agrippa, Festus would not have been familiar with the prophets, like Agrippa because he was not as familiar with the Jewish religion. Paul was speaking soberly about his subject.

    ACTS 26: 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains." PERSPECTIVE AND ...read more

    The Two Thieves

    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,284 views

    The following sermon is going to examine the testimony of the two thieves on the cross to illustrate first no one or is beyond redemption and second that faith is not to be dependent on circumstances but on belief that God is sovereign and can do the impossible!

    The Two Thieves Luke 23:32-43 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1 Should not those whom have God’s holy Word and His Spirit living inside of them have such a great faith ...read more

    Jesus Before Pilate Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,654 views

    The trials on Jesus’ last earthly day picture the religious & political world’s rejection of Jesus & His claims. He came unto His own and they did not receive Him. Sin’s blindness leads to Jesus’ dying because of who He is, God in human flesh.

    LUKE 23: 1–5-7 JESUS BEFORE PILATE [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Mark 15:1–5; Mt. 5:10-12] Jesus’ last day begins with Him being rejected and condemned by the Jewish ruling counsel and then being hauled before Pilate.
