Language Of Edification Series

Contributed by Arthur Miller on Mar 24, 2014

The tongue is a destructive force that can spew the stench of a rotten heart, but we are called to speak only what is constructive to others. We need to be thinking about our words and changing our attitudes about people while God transforms our lives.

The Church Failed In A Time Of Crisis

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 27, 2022

I've had a rotten feeling in my gut since the beginning of this COVID-19 crisis. But I've been afraid to say it out loud. I've been afraid of criticism and hostility.

Worrying For Our Treasure

Contributed by Russ Houser on Jan 19, 2002

Life sometimes deals us a rotten hand. We can either let that eat at us, or we can learn from it and move on. But what happens when we dwell on these bad things that happen to us and our families?

Worrying for our treasure 1-20-02 AM Matthew 6 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not ...read more

Psalm 5 - Get The Inside Right First Series

Contributed by Rob De Jongh on Mar 15, 2021

God wants us to be right from within, and no amount of flattery on the outside will cover a rotten inside. We need to work on our own inner thoughts and desires first, so that the outward words and actions flow naturally from within.

In Psalm 5, David says this: "For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue." (Psa 5:9) Notice here that there are people who can flatter you and seem great on the outside, but ...read more

Saw That Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 26, 2012

Did you know at times we tend to view things wrongly? The good seems to be bad and bad seems to be good. Not all apples that look gorgeous and delicious on the outside are entirely tasty on the inside; at times the inner portion is rotten and also sour

Saw that…. 1 King 19:3”when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness…” Mightiest of achievements is ephemeral! Can I get your attention ...read more

A Living Christian Faith

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Mar 17, 2019

"I am... (fill in the blank)." What does it mean to be a Christian? More than church membership or checking a box. Christian faith is living, active and demonstrating.

Fill in the blank: I am . How would you complete that statement? I am…tired. I am…awesome. I am…excited. I am…a husband. I am…a parent. I am…a friend. You could probably complete that sentence in about a million different ways. But if you are going to make one of those claims, you ...read more

From Humble Beginnings

Contributed by Steven Haguewood on Aug 8, 2008

Good things come in small packages. In the same way, our faith must begin small. No one begins with great faith but grows in faith as we progress toward Christ and in His kingdom.

Contributed by Brian William on Oct 25, 2007

Seventh in the "Back to the Basics" series, exploring the foundational beliefs of Christians. This sermon addresses the question, "What do Christians believe about sin and salvation?"

God loves us. Even before we are aware of it, God loves us. That’s a basic, fundamental starting point for the entire Christian faith. God loves us. The Scriptures witness to that love on every page. Our lives were not an accident: We were created by God’s plan, out of God’s joy. God placed the ...read more

God's Human Nature Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The full Gospel is Christmas and Easter, and that Jesus was fully man and fully God. He was the God-Man. If you take either one out of the church year you have destroyed it, and if you take either of the natures of Jesus out of him you have destroyed the Gospel and the Jesus of the New Testament.

Depravity

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 22, 2004

Many people have trouble with the concept of total depravity. While not denying they are sinners, many people feel that their sin isn’t bad enough to condemn them. What they don’t understand is that any sin is wholly unacceptable to God.

Don't Accept Any Substitutes

Contributed by Edward Frey on Jun 5, 2002

There is no substitute for salvation through faith in Christ. There is no substitute for those who clearly teach such truth!

We live in a world of substitutes from substitute teachers to sugar substitutes. We’d agree that as useful as they are substitutes have their limitations – there’s no substitute for the real thing. For example, soybeans don’t make very good hamburgers. Saccharin doesn’t really taste like sugar. ...read more

Become a people, who are useful to God, who can build up the body.

And to that end, Jesus gave each of us a ministry in the church, to build the church up, help it grow in love and unity. The problem is, some of ...read more

What’s Your Heart Condition? In 1998 459,841 people or one in every 5 deaths in America were attributed to Coronary Heart Disease.
