D. Greg Ebie – Firm Foundation

Now is the time for us to wake up from our dead faith slumber threatening our families, churches, and communities. Jesus wants to make us alive again with resurrected faith to proclaim His word with boldness in our communities. Let’s take a moment to hear this brief but important word from the LORD as we…

If you take all the Christians who nod off and fall asleep in church on Sunday morning and lay them end to end, side by side, they will sleep much more comfortably. We face a problem today far greater than taking a nap during a pastor’s sermon. Far too many Christians sleepwalk through life. Day…

Our Sermon SEED Exploration of Matthew 28:18-20 reveals three big ideas. The authority of Jesus call us to mutual submission, The mission of Jesus remains the singular focus to make disciples or Christ-followers. The presence of Jesus reminds us this is a co-mission accomplished with His power and not human energy.

Sermon SEED exploration of Matthew 16:15-18 reveals three big ideas. Jesus alone serves as the foundation and builder of the church. Jesus establishes the plan and purpose for His church, Christ’s church endures to stand against the enemy.

Sermon SEED provides ideas and insights for pastors and Bible teachers. Every SEED includes four parts. 1. Scripture because God’s Word provides the firm foundation for every message. 2. Exploration of the scripture in a simple outline form. 3. Execution because to hear God’s Word requires personal application to do what it says. 4. Dependence a call to prayer, asking the LORD to forgive our disobedience and help us obey His word through he power of the Holy Spirit.

These stones are often engraved with the date and an inscription. Sometimes this brick is hollowed out to serve as a time capsule filled with memorabilia. The cornerstone in ancient architecture was different. Rather than being…

Inevitably loss is a part of life. Loss comes in all shapes and sizes, but whether great or small we feel the pain of regret. When left unresolved emotional heartache can grow. This leaves individuals feeling empty and vulnerable. Some withdraw from other people for fear of further disappointment and hurt. However, we don’t have…

This is our starting place. We must grasp the depth of meaning and come to know what faith really is. Only then can we take hold of what Jude has in mind so we contend for the right thing. In the New Testament, the same Greek word translated “faith” is used as both a noun…

Regardless of the kind of work we do, you and I wear many different hats. Day-to-day and moment-to-moment, we find ourselves pulled in lots of different directions. Often these distractions keep us from the things we need to complete—only at the last minute do we cross them off our to-do-lists. Stop for a moment and…
