    Christmas Characteristics Series

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Dec 17, 2011
     | 7,441 views

    In a negative, sinful world, we have to be the evangelists of hope, of good, of positive thought.

    My ministry and my travels take me all over Michigan. I visit all sorts of small towns, medium size town, big sububs and large cities. Some of the cities and towns seem the same. Traffic signs and traffic lights blend towns into a sort of sameness. People watching is interesting, but most of us ...read more

    We are citizens of Michigan and citizens of the Community of God

    If you have lived in Michigan any length of time you can look around and see that this is a very solid, established state. The city of Detroit was founded in 1701 by Pierre Demuth Cadillac. A fort was built on what is now Fort Street. But along the riverbank is a ribbon of a road that runs from ...read more

    Occupy Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Nov 13, 2011
     | 4,139 views

    The occupy Wall Street movement has missed the mark. It is faceless and pointless. People need Jesus as the center of life, a more abundant life.

    In recent days, I have watched protesters, anarchists and the homeless camp in our nation’s parks and sit outside businesses and city halls with signs of protest. What is their point, what are they doing? Let’s look at a typical day in the life of a protestor. 10AM get up, 11 AM smoke, 12 noon, ...read more

    Beginnings Series

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Jun 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,912 views

    The Book of Genesis is the story of beginnings. It is also a story of people in conflict, matters of life and death, and also redemption and hope.

    Life is full of beginnings. We start each day with a new dawn of expectation. We start each year with a resolution and an expectation of things to come. We find new friends or make an acquaintance a friend, it is a new beginning. These changes and beginnings are all from God. He gives us the ...read more

    The Alpha and Omega came to my neighborhood, he came to my block. He came from the marbled halls of Heaven to live with man, to live in me!

    Blah! Blah! Blah! How many of our messages are just words? How many just reflect our church view or our own worldview? How often is it just taken from a lexicon, a commentary a footnote from somewhere? No! When we preach, we must hear from God! We must hear from the book! And we must be ...read more

    Of No Reputation

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Dec 22, 2008
     | 6,390 views

    Jesus did not fit the standard of an honored leader. He emptied himself and took on the cross.

    Throughout the year, there are times of reunion, times of sharing and caring. It’s when people come together, when people meet as family and friends. Homecoming day at high school or college, brings together old friends. Thanksgiving is an opportunity to bring together the whole family and share ...read more

    China

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,806 views

    China is a great sleeping giant. Millions die each year without BENEFIT OF THE GOSPEL?

    Do you believe the gospel? Do you believe the Great Commission? Have you done all you can to reach the lost for Jesus Christ? A hundred and fifty years ago, Hudson Taylor started China Inland Missions with a call to go to China and reach the millions without Christ. The message today is the same: ...read more

    Freedom From Addiction

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,876 views

    Your addiction is a choice. Read from Isaiah and find your deliverance!

    Addictions are obviously the work of the Devil. People wreck their lives, their families and their very souls. How does this happen? We can blame the Devil or we can make the choice to choose the right way. We can choose the way of grace, the way of peace, the way of salvation. The Devil came ...read more

    There are lots of things we can do to draw close in our relationship with Jesus. Here are three simple things: Love more, ask more, be more.

    The other day, I was in a hurry to get to a meeting regarding the church and our association. Did you know we are loosely connected with other churches in the Blue Water Association, headed up by Ted Stevens? Did you also know or do you know that each church that holds to a basic belief in Jesus ...read more

    New Clothes For The New Year Series

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Dec 28, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 8,426 views

    There is always work to be done in every Christian’s life. Things to put off, things to put on and things to put forth. The Bible shows us how.

    New York City is a fascinating place. So much of what we are and so much of what we do, comes from the culture and media giant that is New York. Though it’s only seven hundred miles away, I’ve never been to the city. There were a couple occasions when we were on the way, or nearby, but for some ...read more

    The Babe In The Manger

    Contributed by Joe Adaline on Dec 22, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,434 views

    The Christ child represents a lot of figures in our world. That is one of the reasons that God, in his divine wisdom sent a baby into this world.

    We have seen as the prophets foretold the Messiah would come. We see that Christ comes in the form of a child, a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. God in his wisdom saw this mere infant as representing mankind in so many ways. Let’s look at the ways God represents Christ in ...read more

    Let’s go to the island, and find our place with God. Let’s taste and see that His word is good. Let’s seek his face, and live for Him!

    I live in the Great Lakes area. It is a beautiful part of God’s world. The lakes are beautiful blue in color some days and grey and foreboding other days. In the summer, boats can be seen dotted along the horizon and along the shores. In the winter, there is a serenity and beauty as the lakes ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,198 views

    We need to know with certainty when God speaks to us. We need to know what he is saying, and we need to know it is from Him. Jesus gives us instructions and challenges in our text this morning.

    Downtown is a large City-County building. It holds many municipal and county courtrooms. Probate court is there. Every day, petitions and writs are read and heard, telling the will and wishes of the testator. The person who’s will was to wish after his death, such and such would happen, such a sum ...read more

    What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus

    When I was in high school, the world was very different to me. My parents both worked, tried to raise us right. My brother was the greatest friend I could have, being my younger brother. I had sisters, and it was good time after good time. It was a good time to grow up. I was sitting in my French ...read more

     | 4,167 views

    The church of Jesus Christ is supposed to be an organism, growing and growing. Often it is just a church, an institution, resisting change.

    We have a library at the church here. Virginia and I are going through the books to recommend to the church which ones we will dispose of, giving them to a proper charity, library, seminary or cemetary. The library represents something that is old, dated and needs to be updated with current books ...read more
