     | 9,267 views

    If Not Here - Where

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,250 views

    If Jesus is not here, where is He? If Jesus is not in you, where are you?

    If Not Here, Where? Today is Easter. It is a day that we celebrate not His death but His resurrection. Mark 16:1-7 I don’t want to trivialize the trials Jesus went through, or the beating He endured and by no means the horrible death on a Roman cross, but Jesus was not the first one ever to ...read more

    Warm And Comfortable The Day After Easter

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 30, 2014
     | 5,958 views

    The resurrection did not end on Monday. The events of Sunday continue 24/7 in our lives. We need to remember yesterday, so we can grow today and tomorrow. The two men on the road to Emmaus needed to remember yesterday so they could Jesus today.

    Warm and Comfortable the Day after Easter? It is getting to the point that we may need to turn the A/C on during the day, but the evening air might be a little cool. As we kick off our shoes and reach for the newspaper or maybe a cup of hot chocolate we get that comfortable cozy feeling. We are ...read more

    Has the joy of being a Christian been taken or stolen from you? Where is your joy of worship God?

    Everyone say AMEN. Amen, is said to express agreement, to affirm a statement and to conclude a prayer. Now everyone say Hallelujah. Hallelujah is said to praise God or to express happiness.

    Paradise - Fathers - Stewardship

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jun 20, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,405 views

    Paradise is not without work. God does not ask us to do anything that He is not willing to do Himself, rest, be a father and to serve.

    What does Paradise – Fathers – Stewardship make? The Hawaiian Islands could be called paradise and that is why it is Hawaiian Sunday today. I want to share with you about paradise and what it means. Beautiful beaches, warm blue water washing up the shore. Maybe there is a soft breeze ...read more

    Stop Looking For The Answers In The Cemetery

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 25, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,938 views

    Stop looking for the answers in the cemeteries, there is no life there, there’s no celebration there, there’s no music and there is no fire.

    It is reported in Matthew 27:50-51, 54 (NIV) And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. Matthew 27:54 When the centurion and those with him who were ...read more

    Pride, Lust And More Sin

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Apr 4, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,757 views

    The decisions we make in haste brings to the fore front, our pride, and ego that can and will cause sin to over power our better judgement.

    When we give our word, we are to stand-by it. James tells us that our Yes be yes and our No to be no. But what happens when we make a decision that turns out to be wrong? Do you continue in the wrong or do you change your mind? Many of our decisions would be different if we had slept on them over ...read more

    D.o.a. Or D.b.j.

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Feb 27, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,369 views

    You are D.O.A. or Dead Before Jesus and we need to be A.W.J. "Alive With Jesus". Take away the earthly things that are between the living and the dead. Remove the obstacles that separate you from God.

    D. O. A. or D. B. J. John 11:11-14 (NLT) Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.”12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!”13 They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant ...read more

    Can Love Heal A Broken Heart?

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Feb 14, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,969 views

    The phrase “I Love You” will eventually bring up the response, “Why Do You Love Me”. Well now you can be on the spot. Why, Why, Why? What can I say, what should I say? Why do I love him or her?

    Can Love Heal a Broken Heart? As you all know, it is Valentines time again. The candy makers have been working overtime, the florist have blisters on their fingers and band-aids on their hands from the rose thorns. And the greeting card printers have been producing hundreds of thousands of cards so ...read more

    Change

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,633 views

    We sing “Change My Heart O God”, but do you really mean it? Or is this change just for a moment, just for this song, because we really don’t want our life to change.

    Acts 17:16-34 (NLT) Change We just had a mid-term election; we have change in our future. At least that’s what we voted for. We the people, we the people, are tired of the same ol’ thing, time after time. They all say, more water, less taxes and put the rights of the people back into ...read more

    What is the Unpardonable sin and when does it take affect?

    Unpardonable Sin Matt 12:22-32 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. 23 All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?" 24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by ...read more

     | 11,065 views

    They cannot argue about your testimony. I get emotional when I tell of the mercy the Lord has shown me and others.

    My Story can Change the World Mark 5:19-20 (NLT) But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”20 So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had ...read more

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Oct 25, 2010
     | 5,051 views

    We can change the world in which we live by the way we worship, but we must first define worship.

    I must first admit that I did barrow the titles of each of my sermons. My Worship can change the world! If a man commands his dog to “Fly!” the dog doesn’t stand much of a chance of obeying him. And it won’t help if the man first tells his dog, “Be a ...read more
