    Figs, Faith And Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,494 views

    The solution to any problem in your life is simply this: Have faith in God. The answer to any need in your life is: Have faith in God.

    INTRODUCTION People tend to remember short pithy slogans. If you’ve heard these, fill in the last word: “A miss is as good as a mile.” Or “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” Or “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Or “Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket.” Those are so short and ...read more

    Keeping God's House Clean Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 33,185 views

    God won't live in a dirty house. You may live in one, but God won't. He is holy and He can't abide with the presence of sin.

    INTRODUCTION Last week I suggested some hymn titles for the chronologically challenged. This week someone emailed me a funny list of pop song titles for aging Baby Boomers. I realize anyone under the age of 40 probably won’t recognize any of these songs, so ask a Boomer who may be near you. Now ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,021 views

    Our job as parents and grandparents is to create a desire in our kids for the things of God.

    INTRODUCTION One of the things I love about the Bible is that it is so full of variety. Last week’s passage we were talking about God’s definition of marriage, a pretty deep subject. And in the very next passage before us today, we see Jesus loving on little children. If you’ve ever been to ...read more

    God's Definition Of Marriage Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,064 views

    America doesn't have a homosexual problem; we have a human sexual problem. If you consider yourself a Christian, God expects all of us to practice sexual purity.

    INTRODUCTION Today I’m going to talk about “God’s Definition of Marriage.” This is the most popular trending topic today since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states. However, I’m not just speaking today in reaction to this ruling. Most of you know I teach ...read more

    Imagine: No Hell Below Us; Above Us Only Sky Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,218 views

    Two-thirds of Americans believe there is no hell. Let's imagine for a moment there is no hell. Lest you take me literally, I DO believe in the existence of heaven and hell. But what would you do if you wanted to eliminate the distasteful idea of hell?

    INTRODUCTION There are many theories about the afterlife. Some people believe in reincarnation. Three men died and stood before God, who asked them how they wanted to spend their next life on earth. The first man said, “I want to come back as myself, but I want to be 10 times smarter.” “Poof,” God ...read more

    Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose. Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 23,509 views

    The New Testament records Jesus healing seven different blind men. And in each case He employed a different method. God is a God of variety. He seldom saves two people the same way.

    INTRODUCTION You might recognize the title from the television series, “Friday Night Lights.” When I moved from Alabama twenty-four years ago I thought High School football was big there, but I soon learned that, like everything else, High School football is HUGE in Texas. The movie “Friday Night ...read more

    The Day Used Sigh Language For A Deaf Man Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,077 views

    Sometimes we are so burdened we can't even express words in our prayers. When you're praying if you don't know the words to say, don't worry. God understands sigh language.

    INTRODUCTION After a break for the holidays and the Treasure Truth series, we’re back in the Gospel According to Mark. I’m calling this series, “The reMARKable Power of Jesus.” What you don’t know can hurt you—or embarrass you. It’s important to understand what things mean. I found an actual text ...read more

    Faith That Feeds On Crumbs Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 6 ratings
     | 31,514 views

    We don't always recognize when God is testing us. Most of the time the tests are disguised as trouble, trials, and adversity. A discussion of the four characteristics of great faith.

    INTRODUCTION This year we’ve been going through the Gospel According to Mark and we’re picking up where we left off before we started our emphasis on Missions and Christmas. This message is entitled, “Faith That Feeds on Crumbs.” When I first read this passage, I was in for a big surprise. ...read more

    The Heart Of Your Problem Is The Problem Of Your Heart Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 42,842 views

    The reason we like traditions, whether it’s washing your hands or dressing up for church, is that it is something we can do outwardly and feel good about ourselves.

    INTRODUCTION Part of this message is about traditions. Why do we do the things we do? Sometimes we do them because we’ve always done them the same way and we never questioned the reason. Growing up, I had exactly the same breakfast every morning: two fried eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. And the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 40,263 views

    Can you remember a time when you were so afraid you thought you weren’t going to make it? The most dangerous storm that night wasn’t the weather on that lake. It was the storm of fear raging in the minds of the disciples.

    INTRODUCTION One of my favorite stories is about the country preacher who used to visit a widow in his church named Mrs. Jones. He liked to visit her around lunchtime because she had a vegetable garden and she loved to cook fresh vegetables for her pastor. One day the preacher arrived at lunch, ...read more

     | 24,785 views

    When you face any challenge in life, you're going to approach it with either doubt or faith and it's your choice.

    INTRODUCTION Throughout history there have been many examples of misjudgments. Here are seven of my favorite famous misjudgments: (1) “Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground and try to find oil? You’re crazy.” (Hibernia Bank’s response to Edwin Drake’s request to borrow money to drill for ...read more

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 6 ratings
     | 29,819 views

    The story of Jairus teaches us that when we face grief, we never should never lose sight of the fact that Jesus gives hope whenever there is death.

    INTRODUCTION In the past few miracles we’ve seen that Jesus has power over danger. He calmed the scary storm. He has power over demons; He transformed a scary man. Jesus has power over disease; He healed the woman with the scary sickness. In this miracle we’re going to see that Jesus has power ...read more

    Don't be deceived by the lie of self-help. Jesus is your only hope.

    INTRODUCTION Thank you for your prayers for Dale Pond and me as we traveled to Uganda and Tanzania to train pastors and to preach in the churches. We worked with over a thousand pastors who are hungry to learn how to build a Healthy Church. Greg Smith, our friend from Atlanta, joined us. Greg is ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 27,131 views

    So what is the purpose of the transfiguration? It was more than just Jesus showing off that He was God in the flesh. He was trying to communicate an important truth.

    INTRODUCTION Did you hear the funny story about the skinny teenager named Billy? He was so thin he had to run around in the shower to get wet. Billy got a job at Six Flags sweeping the grounds, but there was a problem. Billy weighed so little that when the Texas wind would blow, he would lose his ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 50,970 views

    You haven't always existed; only God is eternal in both directions. Your soul will exist long after your physical life is over, either in heaven with God or in hell separated from God.

    INTRODUCTION What is your most precious possession? This world has plenty of expensive baubles and trinkets. Here are some actual things people own that they probably consider to be a precious possession. For instance, how about a gold-plated, diamond studded iPhone? The cost is $2.97 million and ...read more
