Sexual Immoraity In America

Contributed by Steve Greene on Feb 4, 2020

One of the clearest indicators of rebellion against God is the blatant rejection of God's guidelines for sex. When we sin sexually, we hurt ourselves, we hurt others, and we break the heart of God.

We are ALL broken people born into a broken world. The evidence of that brokenness often shows up most obviously in the area of our sexuality. So many people—professing Christians included—are willing to give their heart to God, but it seems like they want Him to stay out of their bedroom and out ...read more

Floundering

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 27, 2005

Israel’s foolish acts are listed (vv. 1-7), and her floundering is portrayed (vv. 8-16). God’s desire for Israel was healing and restoration. Instead they were involved in lying, theft, robbery (v. l), blatant contempt of God (v. 2), political corruption

Free Indeed!

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jan 28, 2024

This sermon exposes the blatant attack on religious liberty via the pandemic and the less than adequate response from the church. It encourages us to be watchful and aware of how the enemy is working to silence and control even God's people and what we can do to gain the victory!

Religious Liberty Sermon 2024 (Free Indeed!) It was Patrick Henry that once passionately exclaimed, “Give me liberty, or give me death!

Healing From Anger Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 27, 2021

One of the mightiest emotions we have inside of us is our anger. We feel intense anger when something horribly wrong or unjust is done, say the sexual abuse of a child, or some blatant racial discrimination, or your wife has betrayed marriage vows and committed adultery with another person.

The Psalms are inspired by God and therefore meant to instruct us how to think about God and the entire world. On the other hand, the Psalms are poems or songs and are meant to awaken and shape our feelings about God and the world. We have focused in the previous messages on the feelings of ...read more

The Power Of Truth

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 5, 2023

If a man is not truthful to God, he cannot be truth to himself. He will definitely struggle to be truthful to his neighbor. Truth is walking in the light; falsehood is groping into the darkness.

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips but their hearts is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8-9). What a serious indictment! In our key verse above, our LORD Jesus Christ was ...read more

The Dignity Of The King Vs. The Depravity Of Humanity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022

John 18:12-36 continues the story of Jesus' journey towards the cross as He faced His enemies and an illegal trial based on false charges. What they didn't know was that Jesus was in control and that this was part of the redemptive plan (1 Corinthians 2:7-8).

The Lord Jesus had been arrested while in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:1-11). He was being hauled off to an illegal trial on false charges.
