Hebrews - God Has Spoken in Christ (1 of 29)
by Robert Dawson
Linda, a first grade teacher, tells this story about an interaction she had with one of her students on the first day of school. Accustomed to going home at noon in kindergarten, Ryan was getting his things ready to leave for home when he was actually supposed to be heading to lunch with the rest of the class. Linda asked him what he was doing. ''I'm going home,'' he replied. Linda tried to explain that, now that he is in the first grade, he would have a longer school day. ''You'll go eat lunch now,'' she said, ''and then you'll come back to the room and do some more work before you go home.'' Ryan looked up at her in disbelief, hoping...

Ephesians - The Foundation of the Church at Ephesus (1 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
Series Introduction Now that Spring is in full form and summer right around the corner, the missus and I have been trying to get Aiden outside as much as possible. You see Aiden is lot like our Golden Retriever, in many ways, but particularly when it comes to an endless supply of energy. In all honesty there have been times recently with our 2½ year-old that we've contemplated just putting him on a treadmill, pressing start, and just seeing how long he could go! He loves being outside, though, so we do that instead. Teresa's been trying to teach him soccer, I'll play catch and baseball with him; Charley just sits there in her...
Nehemiah - Discontent (1 of 6)
by Dave Gustavsen
So...does everybody have their Lego? Everyone got a Lego when you walked in today? I'll tell you what that's about in just a little while. In the meantime you're welcome to play with it, although there's not much you can do with one Lego. Which is part of the point. But we'll get to that later. So-this is the time of year when we think about resolutions, right? No matter how bad we might have messed things up last year, there's a sense that this is a new start, and a new opportunity to get things right. And I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking, ''I don't do resolutions. That's childish. That doesn't work...
Galatians - Calling Clarified at Galatia (1 of 10)
by Donald Cantrell
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points. Introduction: Before we get into the doctrinal aspect of the book of Galatians I want to take some time to discuss the penman, the period, the place, the people and the problem that that prodded Paul to write this book. 1 - The Penman Gal 1:1 KJV - Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Gal 5:2 KJV - Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. There is no debating the fact that Paul wrote the book of Galatians. In fact...

If you have your Bible, turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 1. We want to start a brand new series tonight on the Book of 2nd Corinthians.

I've entitled this sermon series...
Ezra - God's Got the Wheel! (1 of 7)
by Robert Dawson
How many of you like rollercoasters and amusement park rides? The faster the better! The taller the better! The more dangerous the better! Nope. Not for me. I can't handle them. They don't like me. Too many twists, turns, drops, loops and corkscrews at high speed disrupt my equilibrium. I cannot stomach them and my stomach cannot take them. I was reminded of that on vacation this year. We had won some tickets to Six Flags so off we went. I rode a couple of coasters and enjoyed them. I did okay although the second coaster started to get to me a little and I knew I needed a break. Jordan was not keen...

Colossians - The Preeminent Christ (1 of 15)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: While on his third missionary journey, Paul had an opportunity to teach the Word to the citizens of Ephesus who gathered in the school of Tyrannus. While Paul taught faithfully, one of his proteges named Epaphras made a brief excursion to his home town of Colossae, preached the Gospel there and the Holy Spirit birthed a church. It seems almost accidental, a brief detour, but with God there are no accidents, only divine appointments. Keep in mind Paul had never set foot in the city of Colossae. Almost a decade had passed - Paul finds himself in prison at Rome - when word comes to him about this accidental...
Philippians - Priority Mail from the Pen of Paul (1 of 16)
by Jim Perdue
READ TEXT *Illustration of receiving a letter. You see the ''To,'' the ''From,'' and the contents of the letter. Notice the difference between junk mail and a love letter. Use letter from the Lamberts.*Paul shows us the ''return address'' very early in this letter. It came from Paul and Timothy. We see the address of the sender as well, ''To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi.'' And we see the content of the letter also, ''grace and peace.'' Philippians 1:1-2 serves as the introduction to the letter written from Paul to the church at Philippi. Over and over again through this letter Paul expresses his sincere...
How Were The Books Of The Bible Chosen? (2 of 5)
by Stan Coffey
Last Sunday we began a brand new series on "How Can We Know For Sure That The Bible Is God's Word." We are going to be in this study for about 4 or 5 more weeks. This series of lessons deal with a very important topic and that is how did we get our Bible, how can we know for sure that the Bible we have today is as reliable as the original manuscripts that the apostles wrote? We don't have the original manuscripts anymore. There are none of the original manuscripts available to us, so how can we be sure that the Bible we have now is exactly like the Bible as it was written down in the original. So we are going to...
Is The Bible Just Another Book?
by Ernest Easley
This past June during the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention there was a lengthy discussion regarding the new Baptist Faith and Message. Now if you’re not familiar with the Baptist Faith and Message, it is a summary of what Baptists believe. The first one was written in 1925. The second one was written in 1963. And now we have the 2000 version. You ask, “Why is it necessary to keep updating the Baptist Faith and Message if it is a summary of what Baptists Believe?” Well, it’s not so much what we believe has changed, it is what we face that has changed. This generation of Christians...
The Book of Nineveh
by Jerry Vines
How many of you have ever heard a sermon from the book of Nahum? We have one fellow over here. I've never heard one myself. I can hardly wait to hear what I'm going to say about the book of Nahum.The first statement in the first verse says ''the burden of Nineveh.'' A message of judgment concerning Nineveh. This is the second book in the Bible that has to do with the city of Nineveh. Nineveh was the capital of the wicked nation of Assyria. You may recall that God gave the prophet Jonah a message for the city of Nineveh. The Lord told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and preach to them, that they were...
