    When The Son Came Out

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Jan 18, 2003
    based on 104 ratings
     | 12,223 views

    When the Son comes out, we discover peace, resurrection power and a commission to move beyond our church walls.

    Years ago, my two sons attended a spiritual gifts retreat for children. On the way home from the campgrounds, the boys’ mother wanted to know what they had discovered. She asked our younger son, “What’s your spiritual gift, Sam?” Sam stuck out his chest and proudly announced, “Mom, my spiritual ...read more

    Gone Fishin' Series

    God’s love for all people compels us into the deep--not stay in the dock

    It’s the Bible story that everybody knows, right? Even unchurched folks can tell you about Jonah. He was the guy swallowed by the whale. A story immortalized in children’s picture books everywhere. A fantastic, bizarre tale of a reluctant prophet, a huge fish, and a pagan city. Do you remember the ...read more

    A Church Service Of One Series

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Jan 17, 2003
    based on 165 ratings
     | 10,709 views

    God calls and commissions ordinary people into service

    It was a church service of one. Isaiah the prophet was the only person in attendance – a preacher in Judah, the Southern Kingdom of Israel, who lived about the time that Homer was composing the Odyssey and Iliad in Greece. Isaiah was in the Temple that day, the Dwelling Place of God, the palace ...read more

    Love Conquers All Series

    based on 96 ratings
     | 16,013 views

    God is a jilted spouse with a persistent love for an unfaithful partner--us.

    She was a floozy, the kind of girl your mother warned you about and your dad might take a sneak peek at. She wore purple eye shadow, thick mascara and lipstick so red that hummingbirds buzzed around her. Her dresses were always a size or two smaller than they should have been, and her walk was more ...read more

    Meeting God Down A Rabbit Trail Series

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Jan 17, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,824 views

    God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

    You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

    The Prophet In Overalls Series

    based on 96 ratings
     | 11,636 views

    A prophetic call to conduct God’s justice

    He was the prophet in overalls, a farmer who wore clodhoppers on his feet, calluses on his hands, and righteous anger in his heart. Amos was his name. He hailed from a dusty little town called Tekoa, about 6 miles southeast of Bethlehem, perched on the edge of the Judean badlands. Amos was a ...read more

    Three Parades

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 14, 2001
    based on 169 ratings
     | 5,768 views

    The parade that wound into Jerusalem on that long ago Sunday was exciting -- but it can’t hold a candle to the parade that took place on Friday.

    The parade route begins near the twin towns of Bethpage and Bethany, less than two miles from Jerusalem and winds into the Holy City. The Grand Marshal is an unlikely hero – a rustic from a blue-collar town up north, the son of a woodworker. In keeping with his “common man” image, he decides to ...read more

    The All-The-Way Plunge

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 12, 2001
    based on 86 ratings
     | 2,951 views

    The waters of commitment call us to take a plunge, but will we let fear take over?

    My younger son, Sam, loves to swim. I remember the days when he took his first swimming lessons. Like most kids, he loved the water and just dived right in. Some swimmers are like that – plungers. How many of you like to plunge right in? How many of you like to take your time getting into the ...read more

    Hello, Beautiful!

    God has sent a Valentine’s card to you, postmarked with the blood of his precious Son.

    It’s a small town – one of those kind of towns people make jokes about. You’ve heard ‘em – “that town is so small that when you dial the wrong number, the person on the other end gives you the right number.” "It’s so small that there’s no place to go that you shouldn’t." "It’s so small that Third ...read more

    The Wise Men's Greatest Act

    based on 290 ratings
     | 14,957 views

    Worship was the Wise Men’s greatest act

    What was the wise men’s greatest act? Was it their diligent study of the heavens, which resulted in the discovery of the Christmas Star? The Wise Men, also known as the Magi, were probably not kings, but a priestly band of scholars and stargazers. We don’t know what brilliant star these Magi saw. ...read more

    It's Not What I Wanted

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 85 ratings
     | 3,523 views

    Nobody wants the gift of adversity under the Christmas tree--but sometimes we get it, anyway. Question is, what do we do when we get it?

    Some of you may be wondering if the preacher is one episode shy of a mini-series by preaching from Job during the Christmas season. What does a suffering man have to do with the season of good cheer? Plenty. There’s a dark side to Christmas that most of us don’t like to admit. I knew a man who ...read more

    Witness

    based on 287 ratings
     | 16,415 views

    Christians are witnesses of the light who have seen something, have something to say, and who have a dangerous but rewarding job.

    “Witness” By Mark Winter Text: John 1:1-9 Have you ever read a scripture so thoroughly that you believe there’s nothing else to wring out of it? That’s what I thought with John’s Prologue, when suddenly verse 8 leapt out: “He himself was not the light (meaning John the Baptist); he came only as a ...read more
