Sermon: Job’s Worst Day

Jobs Worst Day

Five things we can learn from Job’s response after losing his possessions and family. He said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21)

Sermon: Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood

The Words of Jesus

Jesus ends His teaching at the synagogue in Capernaum by provoking the Jews with His insistence that unless they ate of His flesh, and drank of His blood, they had no life in them.

Hindrances

A discussion (borrowed from Jeremiah Cox’s sermon of the same name) of men’s self-imposed impediments to understanding God’s word.

Sermon: Jesus Asserts He is the Bread of Life

The Words of Jesus

Lesson 14 in series (6:41-51)

Sermon: The Function of Hope

The Function of Hope

Sermon by Jeremiah Cox

Hope serves to supply us with joy, stability and focus. It motivates us to purity and steadfastness. Hope is the anchor of the soul!

Sermon: Looking at Parallels

Looking at Parallels

The Holy Spirit uses comparisons, like comparing the lifetime committment of marriage to the Jews relationship with the law (Romans 7), and Jesus relationhip to the church to establish truths in the husband/wife relationship. The Hebrew writer does the same in Hebrews 9, teaching an important lesson about Christ’s sacrifice.

Sermon: The Church of ME!

The Church of Me

A self-centered, and willful individual is destructive to the people of God. Diotrephes was such a man (cf. 3 John 9-10). It is worth time to examine the way that self-centered people see their relationship with God and His people.

Sermon: The Desires of Disciples

The Desires of Disciples

An examination of the proper desires of God’s people. For example to be lovers of God rather than the world, and to Honor and Obey Him, no matter the sacrifices that must be made.

Sermon: Not Carnality, But Christ

Not Carnality But Christ

The text of Colossians 3 contrasts the life of the self-indulgent with the better life of a child of God who practices self-denial. Let us choose Christ rather than the fleshly lusts!

Sermon: Diligence

Diligence

Diligence in serving God, the Brethren, Family and Others. These are the hallmarks of faithful disciples.

Sermon: Using Euphemisms

Using Euphemisms

The use of Euphemisms can be healthy and helpful. In fact, euphemisms are often found in scripture. However, when they are used to mask profane thoughts and ugly words, they are sinful!

Sermon: The Cost and Reward of Righteousness

The Cost and Reward of Righteousness

Joseph, in Genesis 39, shows us that righteousness sometimes comes with consequences. Remember, it may cause conflict on earth, but it guarantees a heavenly reward!

Sermon: They Continued Steadfastly in Prayer

They Continued Steadfastly in Prayer

The disciples practice of prayer in the first century, both in frequency and manner, serve as a wonderful example for Christians today to emulate.

Sermon: You Have Not Passed This Way Before

You Have Not Passed This Way Before

As Moses taught Israel in Joshua 3 as they were preparing to cross the Jordan, it is reckless to launch out on your own, without direction. So long as we trust in God and His word, the untrod paths can be traversed accurately and safely.

Sermon: Wrong is Always Wrong

Wrong is Always Wrong

Wrong is wrong, regardless of whether it is legal, you get caught doing it, you do it for the right reasons, someone else influences you, or the other person is doing even worse. It is wrong even if your conscience is clear or it is an expedient thing to do. It is wrong even if you refuse to admit it is wrong. It is wrong even if it is done in ignorance, or if others are doing it too. Wrong is ALWAYS Wrong!
