God warns the Christians in the church of Corinth about the dangers of devoting themselves to things or beliefs other than Himself. The purpose of our lives isn’t to see how much we can get away with and still be Christians; rather, it is to glorify God. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49081629

Mother's Day Message 2023: God knew that His creation would not be complete without women. He uses Mothers, Wives and Leaders to show a complete picture of His love for the world. Today we celebrate God's blessing of women! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49078242

Just because you have the right to do something, does not mean you should if it causes someone weaker in their understanding to stumble. Everything we do should be for the purpose of advancing the gospel message of Jesus Christ. This is the prize we as the church must be focused on, even if it means giving up some of our rights. Our love for our brothers and sisters and desire for unity should fac...

Loving our brothers and sisters in Christ are more important than our individual rights. Being devoted to traditions and preferences will keep us divided while focusing on loving God and others will bring us together. We must take what the Bible says as literal and authoritative, but elevating our preferences to the level or above “inspired” scripture is dangerous and divisive. Do not let the free...

In today’s scripture, Paul continues to answer the questions people in the Corinthian church had submitted to him. Due to the hyper sexualized culture and pride of many in the church they had lost their convictions in the area of their sexuality and spirituality. Paul reaffirms God’s design for our relationship and gives practical advice to how we should live. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/eve...

The church at Corinth has lost their understanding of the gospel message. The culture they were in began to skew their views on sexuality, marriage, commitment and divorce. Some were so concerned that they wrote a letter to Paul asking some questions. Chapter 7 is his response. These answers are still viable today. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49063987

We must take Jesus at His word. He promised He would resurrect and that is exactly what He did. Do not doubt the power of His resurrection and the hope it brings to you today! He Is Alive! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49060629

The greatest testimony a church can have is being known for treating another the as Jesus would. The worst testimony a church can have is to be known for having believers who do not get along. In today’s scripture, worldly concepts had infiltrated the church. The core issue was self-gratification. It was sending the wrong message to those outside the church and they were not honoring God whom they...

God established his church to live differently among others in the world. It’s time we as believers remembered that. The church at Corinth was not only a divided church, it was a disgraced church. Open sin was going on publicly in the church and they were not addressing it. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49052635

Last week Paul drew a picture of what the church should be. Individual believers seeking to grow spiritually in a unified manner through the church. Their foundation to build on and rally around was and still is to this day the gospel “Good News” of Jesus Christ. Today in chapter four we focus on the minister, steward, servant as well as those who support them. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/ev...

There is a problem when people in the church act just like the people outside of the church. In today's passage Paul addresses believers who are divided, backbiting, fulfilling their fleshly desires, and seeking wisdom apart from Jesus. This is a recipe for a floundering faith and then ineffective Church. Discipleship is the tool for growing past problems of immaturity and finding a path for spiri...

The greatest power any person can experience is the working of the Holy Spirit in their life. His presence will give you wisdom that transcends anything this world can offer. The gospel is our message and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live it out and share it. Though many do not understand God’s plan, He is revealing it to all who call on the name of Jesus! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/event...

The world today continues its search for wisdom and self discovery that began long ago in the Garden of Eden. While many pursue wisdom apart from God, the believers find their power in the cross of Jesus Christ. Worldly wisdom is valuable in this life, but it does not have the power to carry you to heaven. That power is only found in the cross of Jesus. Sermon Outline at http://bible.com/events/49...

God continues to raise a new generation of leaders in His church. Thanks to the examples of those who have gone before us and those who currently serve we can celebrate this new chapter in the life of Matthew Franks. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49030031

God placed His church in this world to reflect His glory, to share His love, and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to people who don’t even know they need Him. Somewhere along the way the Church of Corinth got lost in their purpose; they were divided ineffectively and quite honestly being a bad example to unbelievers. As we read our scriptures today may we seek to identify the areas in our lives as...

God has placed you here for a purpose. It may be beyond what you can understand at the moment but that means He is preparing you for what is to come. God will use all those who are willing to glorify His name in all aspects of our lives. Are you willing for God to use you? Are you ready to see God do something only He can do? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49021512

Jesus challenges those who follow Jesus to consider the cost of becoming His “true” disciple. In a world that loves to hear “Easy Believism” Jesus lays down the gauntlet. You will never experience all faith in Jesus Christ brings to your life until you become His disciple. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49019532

If you have ever felt like you have failed Jesus then you are in good company. All of us at some point in our lives let Jesus down. Satan uses those moments to shame us and make us think we are unworthy of God’s love. At times you may feel like your relationship with Jesus is sprained or broken. In today’s passage we are encouraged to know that Jesus never fails us, even when we fail Him. Sermon O...

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming. With all of the troubles of this world weighing on us we must remind ourselves of the greatness of God. Though many may try to ignore Him or erase Him from the world, it will never happen. In good times and bad times, God’s goodness is true. Take a few moments to praise the Lord for His greatness and experience the peace that follows. Sermon Outline @ http://b...

No matter what you have done or the depths of where your choices have brought you, there is room for Jesus’ grace. Whether you are a self-proclaimed perfectionist or your life is a mess, Jesus died to offer you a start over. He wants to deliver you from your sin, not stay in it. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49007255

Today we celebrate Jesus' Birthday! Christmas is bigger than just a decorated tree, an old man with a white beard, a bunch of gifts, and a lot of long standing traditions. Christmas is about God’s love for the world and your response to it. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49006006

There are two main themes of Christmas that can be described from (John 3:16). First, God Loved The World (Which Includes You) So Much! Second, that He sent His one and only son Jesus as a gift to die for your sins and mine. The way He chose to do this had been laid on in scripture since the days of His early covenants (Promises). Although today many do not see their need for a Savior, God sent Hi...

Before time began, God had a plan for our redemption. He knew what we needed, not a powerful political figure still a king. A king that would grow up to become the sinless sacrifice for sin and wear a crown of thorns. You can praise God today because He knows exactly what we need. Forgiveness of our sins. Praise Him for this new day, Praise Him for new starts, Praise Him for sending Jesus to this...

God promised to save you from your sins and has demonstrated His love throughout history to prove it. God keeps his Word! Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/48995508

Before we leave the book of Nehemiah, we learn the greatest lesson of all. Rebuilding requires leadership and love. Even in the early days of Jerusalem being rebuilt, Nehemiah had to make reforms to correct and protect God's people. Rebuilding is not a one time process that is completed when the systems are in place, it is a constant work of love for God and His children. Sermon Outline @ http://b...
