Barriers of Opinion (Matthew Post)

The Anxiety of Jesus (Dr. Ben Kachelman)

Dr. Ben Kachelman uses the primary example of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane to show how we can cope when we are threatened to be overcome with anxiety in our lives.

How to Sustain Godly Success (Adam Faughn)

Joshua led the people of Israel into the Promised Land, but, eventually, it was time for a transfer of leadership. In his final speech, he boldly declared that the people needed to stay focused on what was right. While there are always bumps in the road, God’s people see success often. How can we sustain that success, to the glory of God? Using Joshua 24:14-15, this lesson will give three simple, but vital, things that must be in place for success to continue.

A Family Man Looks at America (John DeBerry)

John DeBerry, of Memphis, Tennessee, delivers the third of three sermons on the subject of "Looking at America Through the Eyes of Faith." In this sermon, the husband and father of two looks at our nation through the eyes of a family man.

When Will We Stand? (Adam Faughn)

The finishing of the building of the wall in Nehemiah is a high point of the Old Testament. So is, later in the book, when Ezra reads the law and the people show respect. Their respect is shown when, for hour after hour, they stand at the reading of God’s Word. Using that concept, this lesson is meant to cause parents to ask: when will our children see us stand for the Word of God?

A Preacher Looks at America (John DeBerry)

John DeBerry, of Memphis, Tennessee, delivers the second of three sermons on the subject of "Looking at America Through the Eyes of Faith." In this sermon, the long-time gospel preacher looks at our nation through the eyes of a preacher.

A Politician Looks at America (John DeBerry)

Overcoming - Part 4 (Vance Hutton)

In this last lesson, again taken from the Revelation of John, he expounds on the thought that those who overcome will get to come over to Heaven. [NOTE: The first three parts of this series were preached the previous three nights at three other sister congregations.]

3 Big Lessons from 1 Small Verse (Adam Faughn)

Sometimes, great things come in small packages, and that is true with many Bible verses. This lesson is designed to help us all see just how many great themes can be packed into one verse of Scripture. Ecclesiastes 3:11 states, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.” In that verse, there are at least 3 great Biblical themes.
