    based on 51 ratings
     | 8,129 views

    Part 1 of "Heavenly Cleansing" series. God’s Word teaches us how to discern the difference between being "accepted" by God and being made "acceptable" to God.

    WASH ME Eph. 5:1-11 INTRO. While visiting my wife’s parents, my 4 year old son got the opportunity to play outside. After about an hour, there was a knock on the back door, there was Brandon completely covered in dirt. He wanted to come inside to get a drink. I told him to stand right where ...read more

    based on 291 ratings
     | 23,306 views

    Many are desperately searching for true meaning in this life. The answer is found in this passage of Scripture.

    FINDING THE MEANING IN LIFE TEXT: ECCLESIASTES. 1:1,2 INTRO: One of the funniest catchphrases of recent years is from an old Wendy’s commercial. An elderly woman and her friends open their hamburger buns and found them virtually bare. The perceptive old lady, who was able to see beyond the ...read more

     | 28,927 views

    Part 2 of a 2 part sermon on some of the beautiful lessons that we can learn from the events surrounding the resurrection of Lazarus.

    UNBINDING LAZARUS Jn. 11:43-44 INTRO. A great part of the grandeur of our Lord’s earthly ministry was His willingness to associate His disciples with Himself. Anything that they could do, He allowed them to do. He sent Peter and John to prepare the upper room for the Last Supper. ...read more

    Part 1 of a 2 part sermon on some of the beautiful lessons we can learn from the events surrounding the resurrection of Lazurus.

    BELIEVEST THOU THIS? Jn. 11:25-26 INTRO. As a preacher of the truth of Jesus Christ, it is a disgusting thing, to me, to hear someone ascribe the holy power of God to the depraved weakness of man. That is to say, many in their spiritual ignorance and heretical teachings, attempt to attribute ...read more

    The Great Samaritan

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Oct 3, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,436 views

    When Jesus told the parable of the good Samaritan, He answered a lot more than just, "Who is my neighbor?" He detailed the entire history of man and man’s need for a Savior.

    THE GREAT SAMARITAN Luke 10:30-35 INTRO. This parable is probably among the most well known of all the parables. Everyone is familiar with the story of the "Good Samaritan". But far too many people do not understand the primary meaning of the parable. This is not a parable told to highlight ...read more

    based on 104 ratings
     | 8,513 views

    There is soul saving power in the message of the cross.

    THE WORD OF THE CROSS I Cor. 1:17-18 INTRO. "preaching" = word (logos) See John 1:1; explain - What is the significance of a word? Words without proper definitions are just so much useless babble. It is not the word itself that carries power, but rather the meaning of that word. God ...read more

    The Kind Of Conviction We Need

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 26, 2002
    based on 139 ratings
     | 36,011 views

    There is a great need, in this world, for Christians with biblical convictions.

    THE KIND OF CONVICTION WE NEED I Cor. 8:1-13 (vs.13) INTRO. The apostle Paul had two great desires in life; (1) To live his life wholly for the Lord and thus bring honor and glory to his God, (2) to help others. This is the essence of the Christian religion. Paul wept over others. ...read more

    Christ Receiveth Sinners

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 26, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 3,847 views

    We owe the promise of eternal life to the fact that Christ receiveth sinners.

    CHRIST RECEIVETH SINNERS Luke 15:1-2 INTRO. (Describe the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.) They wished to monopolize religion for their own set group. They were the most religious people of their day, devoted keepers of the Mosaic Law and yet they were the worst of the enemies of Jesus. Instead ...read more

    The Bible encourages a child of God to be careful in choosing the kind of people he surrounds himself with.

    COMPANIONS Psalm 119:63 INTRO. Every time I enter into the pages of the Bible, I am struck by the marvelous company a Christian finds himself in. As a preacher, I see myself among such men as Enoch, who was raptured before the flood; and Noah; and Isaiah, the man who saw God in his temple in ...read more

    The Command To Be Heavenly Minded

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 24, 2002
    based on 300 ratings
     | 37,636 views

    The Christian is to set his thoughts on "better things" instead of getting bogged down in the cares of this world.

    THE COMMAND TO BE HEAVENLY-MINDED Col. 3:1-2 INTRO. I believe that it is possible to determine a person’s true character by finding out what they really love and what their goals are. Ask yourself these questions: 1. What are the three things you are most earnestly working for right now? 2. ...read more

     | 5,366 views

    Even in this modern age it is impossible to hide from God.

    "YOU CAN NOT..." Isa. 55:6-11 INTRO. There was one thing for certain that I knew when I was a child. That was that when I had been caught in a misdeed and Mom or Dad came at me with the switch or belt, I had better not run. Oh, I knew I could out run them but sooner or later they would catch ...read more

    Borrowed Time

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 24, 2002
    based on 155 ratings
     | 43,245 views

    Many act as if they will live forever, but the Bible teaches that we are all living on borrowed time.

    BORROWED TIME James 4:13-14 INTRO. ("News Too Late" -ill.) - A doctor called one of his patients into his office to deliver some very important news. "I have received the results of your tests and I have some bad news and some good news", said the doctor. The patient was quiet for a moment, ...read more

    Beyond Belief

    Contributed by Howard Parnell on Sep 23, 2002
    based on 26 ratings
     | 4,945 views

    After salvation we are commissioned to move forward in our Christianity. There are wonderful blessings beyond belief.

    BEYOND BELIEF John 8:31-32 INTRO. In giving the Great Commission, Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world...." The requirement for the church to fulfill the work given to us in the Great Commission is that we "make disciples". I have heard many preachers from many backgrounds preach wonderful ...read more

     | 27,729 views

    It is easy to know that Jesus loves you. But do you love Jesus? Can you tell others why you love Him?

    I LOVE THE LORD BECAUSE... Psalm 116:1-6 INTRO. Love is a wonderful thing. It amplifies the virtues and discounts the faults. For instance, through my eyes, my wife’s natural beauty is enhanced because of my love for her. So it is with her intelligence, wit, talents and numerous other virtues ...read more

     | 6,176 views

    The investment you make in trusting Christ is the only investment that will pay eternal dividends.

    THE BANK OF HEAVEN II Tim. 1:12 INTRO. These are likely the last words of this great old soldier of the Cross. He ends this letter with 4:6. He is in prison, his death sentence already passed against him and he is merely waiting for the time when his soul will fly to be with his Saviour. As ...read more
