    It's one game board, but two games. Checkers and Chess are not only played differently, but they illustrate for me the difference between how the world deals with conflict and how God would have us do so. Do you know the difference?

    OPEN: (We showed a picture of a checker board on the overhead) What is this game? That’s right, it’s a checkers game. How many of you have ever played checkers? (almost everyone held up their hands) You know, I did not realize it until I began my research for this morning’s ...read more

    In the game of "Clue" the person who died was "Mr. Boddy." In the Scripture, the person who died was us - we died in our sins. But what killed us, and whose fault was it that we should be counted dead?

    OPEN: During WWII Nazi Germany believed they could bomb Britain into submission, so over the years they sent 1000s of bombs down upon London and other parts of England and 1000s of English people died. One of Britain’s forms of defense was to build bomb shelters. Essentially these were ...read more

    Jude wanted to write a joyous letter, but instead he had to write a warning. Certain ones had crept in unnoticed.

    Jude wanted to write a joyous letter, but instead he had to write a warning. Certain ones had crept in unnoticed. We are to contend for the faith. The Christian life is not unopposed. There is a spiritual attack directed against us, there is a warfare. There is a hassling from the devil. There are ...read more

    Imagine a commentary on the Old Testament by Jesus Christ. It would be the best, and we have one in the Sermon on the Mount. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s look at murder, adultery and bearing false witness in Matthew 5:21-37.

    Hate Crimes

     | 6,453 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    As we follow on the weekend of Valentine's Day, Jesus talks about what is attractive to Him, and what we should be attracted to. He shows us what sin is, so that we see who HE is.

    2.16.20 Matthew 5 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ 28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to fall into sin, pluck it out and throw it away from ...read more

    Love Them?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 24, 2020
     | 3,112 views

    Loving God. I can do. Loving your neighbor. I will try, especially if they are fellow Christians. Loving your enemy. I don't if I can do that. How does a person love their enemy?

    Love Them? (Matt. 5:43-48) Intro: A. I want to start this lesson with a word found at the end of our reading. It’s the word “perfect.” “You therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That calling seems to be impossible, so how could Jesus call upon us to be at the level ...read more

    “How did this happen?” Have you ever read or heard a news story that just left you with that thought? “How did this happen?” I think that there were quite a few people that felt that way last Sunday afternoon as the heard the news of the 41 yar-old basketball superstar, Kobe Bryant’s death. ...read more

    David, realizing the harmful effects of his sins on his health and overall well-being, implores the Lord to bypass the discipline he fully knows he deserves.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    A continuing look at what it means to worship God. Focus is on our heart and spirit. This will help lead us to better understand our purpose in life.

March 1, 2020 A number of years ago, probably about 20 - 30 years ago, the church world entered what was affectionately called “WORSHIP WARS!” Worship wars really have to do with one aspect of worship, the music.
