The Christian Civil War
by Rev. Greg Powell (Jul 7 2010)
Series: I Really Want to Change
Romans 7 is all about the struggle that Christians have in living the Christian life effectively. It describes the war we will face between the spiritual man and the carnal man for the rest of our lives. We must choose to abandon this exhausting life and exhange it for the empowered life through God's Holy Spirit. Every Christian should be able to identify with this message.

Honoring the "Little" King
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jun 9 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
People don't necessarily change the direction of a country based solely on who they are. People must have right and reasonable policies.

A return to biblical principles is what this country needs.
Overcoming Threats to Spiritual Destruction
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Jun 2 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
We seldom realize how much sin in our lives will throw us off track. In this passage, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat did much evil in the sight of the Lord. His life and reign were filled with sin and he ended in ruin so that no one even cared he died. God forbid that you and I would live our lives like that. May this sermon remind us to avoid spiritual destruction.
A Tale of Three Houses
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (May 26 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
Revival must first start in our own houses. Then, the spirituality of our houses will affect the church house. As churches across America turn back to God, then there will be a positive effect on the courthouses in this country. This message examines the lives of Jehu, Jehoshaphat, and the judiciary from 2 Chronicles 19.
God's Word Should Be Trusted
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (May 19 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
People who try to out-think God are terribly undermatched intellectually. Not only does God know everything from the past to the present, but He also knows the future--He even orchestrates the future. That is why God's Word should be taken literally and should be trusted by those of us who claim to be His children. This passage explores three principles pertaining to the trustworthiness of God's Word.
How God Uses a Lying Demon
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (May 5 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles

But the Preacher Said So
by Dr. Jeff Amsbaugh (Apr 21 2010)
Series: 2 Chronicles
So often we seek advice from people who we know will tell us what we want to hear instead of what we need to hear. Like Ahab said of Micaiah in this passage, it is easy to "hate" those who are willing to share the Word of the Lord with us, regardless of our comfort or popular opinion. This sermon on pastoral advice should challenge you to seek counsel from biblical sources.
