     | 6,985 views

    We need to start living life as the precious gift from God it truly is. Deeper living from a deeper understanding!

    This past Wednesday, Scott Evans Dekraai, got out of his car in Seal Beach (CA) shot a man who was sitting in his SUV talking on his cell phone then entered a beauty salon where his ex-wife worked and opened fire, shooting at point blank his ex-wife and eight other people. Six died immediately, two ...read more

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Sep 20, 2010

     | 3,923 views

    Running through Paul's writings is the power of the cross and our need to turn from our sinful nature and desires. This sermon speaks to that power and that need in our lives.

    Do you know what I once was? I was once an enemy of God. I was once what Paul called, in Eph. 2:3, an object of God’s wrath, that is, his anger, his righteous indignation. I was wasting my life gratifying the cravings of my sinful nature as I turned down the voice of morality in my head ...read more

    In Psalm 107 we find four ways that God has specifically blessed that call us to be thankful, and the cool thing is these four ways were brought to life by Jesus.

    (From Pastor Aaron Burgess, SermonCentral.com) Thanksgiving is the act of expressing specific gratitude to God for the blessings he has bestowed upon us. Thanksgiving is the outward and inward communication of how grateful we are for all the things God has given us, whether those things are ...read more

  • Leaving The Land Of "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda"

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Jul 14, 2008
    based on 50 ratings
     | 17,650 views

    We all have a past, but we don’t have to live there. The grace of God is bigger than our regrets!

    We’ve all made mistakes and bad choices. We’ve done things we wished we could forget but somehow the memories of our past sins and temporary stupidity come back to haunt us and when that happens they turn into regrets; they become things we start to second guess: “What if I would have…” “Maybe I ...read more

  • Bread Of Life, Cup Of Redemption

    Communion is more of an Easter moment than we realize. This time of year we can hear the last supper story fresh and realize its significance.

    Communion is more of an Easter moment than we usually stop to realize. In Matthew 26, Matthew brings Jesus into the last portion of his life before the cross. He shows us how Jesus was clearly preparing his disciples for his death and, as well, his resurrection. Jesus has spoken about his death ...read more

  • We Are Called

    God has called the church to be something more than we’ve somehow become. It’s time to understand and accept the call...again!

    How do you answer the phone? “Hello?” “This is Sam (or whatever your name is).” “Yeah?” “Hey!” (usually if you have callerID)” “Talk to me.” “Wazzup?” Choosing to ignore it. Each of us here could get the same phone call and yet have a different response. But what if God calls? How do we ...read more

  • Let There Be A New And Better Way

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Jan 9, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 7,133 views

    Making changes is tough and too often we do what Moses did and snap back to doing things the way we’ve always done them, but that’s not always God’s way!

    “Let There Be a New and Better Way” – Numbers 20:8-12 January 2, 2005 Read Numbers 20:8-12 Ask: Do you notice anything wrong in that passage? Look again… – God tells Moses to gather up three things: Aaron, his brother and “assistant pastor”; the staff, the symbol of Moses’ work as ...read more

  • Prayer - A "Gotta" Not An "Oughta"

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Jan 9, 2005
    based on 14 ratings

    Too often we let things keep us from one of the most important things - prayer - and we need to make prayer a priority.

    “Prayer -- a GOTTA, Not an OUGHTA” -- James 5:13-16, John 17 January 9, 2005 I was looking at a past issue of Pray Magazine, a great magazine that is about, in the editors’ words, “encouraging a passion for Christ through prayer.” As I perused some of the articles I ...read more

  • Perspectives, Priorities And Personal Choices

    Contributed by Samuel Wilder on Jun 1, 2004
    based on 139 ratings
     | 14,802 views

    I used this as a subtle stewardship sermon to get people thinking about how they look at "stuff," what they make as priority in their lives and how their choices affect them, their world and even the church.

    I think there are three things that will determine the way we live and the way that we give: Our perspective – how we not only look at things but how we see them. Our priorities – what we place as of utmost importance in our lives (and, often, in our world). Our personal choices – what we hang to, ...read more
