    Unity and cooperation will accomplish much more than criticism and isolation. God wants to bring us together as living stones to fulfil His purpose throught the Church.

    During the Revolutionary war a young British soldier found himself separated from his unit, numb with cold and so far away from home. He stumbled from the woods into a small village. Going from door to door, he begged for a morsel of food and a warm fire. The doors were constantly slammed in his ...read more

    What kind of rock for the Lord are we?

    NIV 1 Peter 2:1-10 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.

    We have the plans for our house, the blueprints and now we are looking at the final product. Does our house resemble the plans from which it was constructed? The Bible, God’s written Word is the blueprint of how we are to live our lives, do our lives ac

    A Holy Priesthood Text: 1 Peter 2:4-10 Introduction I watched a show where scientists tried to make a smaller model of the great pyramids to learn how the ancients had accomplished the feat.

    Peter says we are a royal priesthood. What does that mean for the average church goer? (this sermon had great effect to prompt members to greater involvement in the church.)

    OPENING: On the overhead projection we put up a cartoon showing a crazed man being led away from a church in a straightjacket. On the steps of the church building the preacher comments to another man “I’m going to miss Louis - he volunteered for everything.” COMMENT: As funny as that cartoon is, ...read more

    This outline is based on a sermon by Sermon Central Contributor William Groover on Harry Potter. I have added video clip suggestions and presented the message in more of a "life-changing" format, with Biblical passages to reinforce each point.

    Harry Potter or the Stone? (Don’t Be a Muggle!) [Expanded powerpoint available based on this outline: don_hawks@hotmail.com] Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the ...read more

    In a world where "sticks and stones" can hurt and tear people down, we are called to be "living stones," builting up one another with Chtist’s own love.

    The Church…Built on a Rock “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” This refrain has been used by many a generation of children to ward off the attacks of teasing peers. The image of children throwing rocks at one another has taken on new meaning of late, as our news ...read more

    Mission Festival Sermon: Through the power of the Cross and Resurrection, we are invited to be both builders and spiritual stones in the Spiritual Temple being built by God.

    I want to talk with you today about building, because you see, we’re builders. From the time we’re born, we start building. As babies, we spend all our energy and effort building bodies and vocabularies. As young adults, we build our knowledge and our skill. We build relationships with others. ...read more

    We are called by God to be in community with each other. We are each a spiritual stone used by God to build the church. There’s no such thing as an individual Christian.

    Imagine a world where coming to church meant risking your life, a world where professing belief in Christ was the same as signing your own death sentence. Although that might be hard for us to comprehend, it is that world that our scripture invites us into this morning. 1 Peter was a letter ...read more
