    "desperate For God"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Oct 25, 2022
     | 3,324 views

    A sermon about learning to love ourselves and others because Jesus loves us.

    “Desperate for God” Luke 19:1-10 “Zacchaeus was a wee little man, and a wee little man was he. He climbed up in a sycamore tree for the Lord he wanted to see. And as the Master passed that way, He looked up in the tree. And He said, “Zacchaeus, you come down. For I’m going to your house ...read more

     | 2,261 views

    When you think of the disciples who do you think of first? Some would say Peter. Others might some of the names of the other disciples. How many would say Andrew? Did Andrew live in the shadow of his brother Peter?

    SHARING THE GLORY Text: John 1:40-42 As someone has said, “God did not save you to be a sensation; He saved you to be a servant”. (James S. Hewett. ed. Illustrations Unlimited. Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers,1988, p, 452). A sensation leaves an impression, ...read more

    Wake Up! (First Sunday Of Advent 2018)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 2,121 views

    Today’s text reminds us once again, that Jesus was and is and is to come. Jesus was: Jesus was in heaven and left His glory to become obedient. Jesus is: Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith. Jesus is to come: Jesus is to come again in glory.

    WAKE UP! Text: Luke 21:25 -36 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will ...read more

    The Birthright (2008)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 812 views

    When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

    THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more

    Contention Intervention

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,358 views

    The kind of conflict---contention that the Apostle Paul addressed in the early part of I Corinthians is very similar to that that existed in the split that resulted in the formation of the “Ant-peg Baptist Church”.

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

    Out Of Control (Father’s Day 2010)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 956 views

    Today, we are going to talk about demonic forces and deliverance from those forces.

    OUT OF CONTROL Text: Luke 8:26 – 39 Today is Father’s Day. Probably one of the most common texts that is used for Father’s Day is Luke 15 in the parable of the prodigal son. Although today’s text is a miracle story about a man with many demons we can still address Father’s Day. ...read more

    The Sure Foundation (1994)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,843 views

    Matthew 7:24-29 is a Biblical parable that points to the necessity for obedience. In that parable, Jesus illustrates His point through three things in that passage of scripture which are the construction site, the storm's test and the results of the test.

    THE SURE FOUNDATION Text: Matthew 7:24-29 "It is told that [Horatio] Nelson [1758-1805] was famous for his courtesy to defeated enemies. [He was one of England's most famous Naval heroes.] On one occasion a defeated captain came on to Nelson's quarter-deck as a prisoner. ...read more

    Submission Of The Will (2001)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 870 views

    This story relates to something that the book of James in the New Testament was talking about. James 4:1-2 points out that wars ---conflict start within the individual and have the potential to transpire into something more as it can become a war between people.

    SUBMISSION OF THE WILL Text: James 4:1-7 There is in British history a war that has a title that is just as ridiculous as its cause. It is called the War of Jenkins’ Ear. This war began back in 1739. It ...read more

    Called To Be A Covenant People (2017)

     | 1,073 views

    …. one of the four Servant songs. The message seems to be about the nation of Israel at face value. However, the message can be applied to when Jesus came in the first advent. Jesus literally embodied what this text meant as a prophecy that was fulfilled through Him.

    Isaiah 42:1-9 1. "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. 2. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he ...read more

     | 1,489 views

    Micah prophesied to people in a time and place that seemed doomed to failure. How many times have we known people who have had a pessimistic view about the promise of the future?

    THE UNLIKELY Text: Micah 5:2 - 5 Years ago I was at a little league baseball game. The underdog was behind by eight points by the very last inning of the game. You would have thought that it was safe to go home as if the game was already over. In fact, some did go home. But, the best was ...read more

    Today’s text presents us with two touchy topics----- lust and divorce. All one has to do is look at the news, newspapers, and internet news outlets and see that there is fodder for discussion about these topics everywhere.

    Their effectiveness as Jesus' disciples would not happen by default. They would always have to work at it and pray about it.

    ALL, FOR THE ONE Text: Mark 9:38-50 “One of the highlights of the college freshman biology class was the monthly feeding of a caged rattlesnake kept in the laboratory. One time, the entire class gathered around the cage and, in complete silence, watched as the feeding took place. ...read more

     | 991 views

    In Colosse, the community to whom the apostle Paul wrote the New Testament Epistle we know today as Colossians, Paul was addressing the concerns of those who were being led astray by false teachers.

    THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM OF LIGHT Text: Colossians 1:11-20 Probably everyone remembers the story of the Pied Piper. It is a story---- a German legend about a musician who lived in a town called Hamelin. As the story goes, the Pied Piper, played his flute and got the rats of the ...read more

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,032 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

    Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more
