Christmas Day: What are the implications of God becoming man? We explore this question in this message.

Jesus’ birth had been prophesied for centuries prior to his coming into the world. One reason that many devout and religious people missed his arrival on that first Christmas Day was because He came “wrapped” in a way that they didn’t expect. Many were waiting for a Messiah that would come with ...read more

This is about the "pause that refreshes"--the importance of taking time alone with God.

Antithesis Just suppose in our hurried state of mind, we took the time to re-interpret Psalm 23 in order to make it fit our twenty first century lifestyle. It might come out something like this... The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest. It makes me lie down only when exhausted. It leads ...read more

Worship

When Jesus says, "A time is coming and now has come when true worshippers will worship the Lord in spirit and in truth," he was giving us some insights into worship.

“Worship” John 4:7-23 If you were to ask 100 people what worship is, you’d probably get 100 different answers. The primary reason for this would be the wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Another reason for such a wide range of views of worship is the never-ending list of “worship ...read more

A Patriotic sermon for the 4th of July based on material by Vance Elzinga

Blessed is The Nation! It was the middle of a very unpopular war, a conflict noted for its shabby ideology and selfish ends. Besides which, it wasn’t going well. On the night of September 13 a man found himself sloshing around in a small boat. He was on a mission. He’d volunteered to take ...read more

based on 9 ratings

| 2,852 views

We cannot go far in the Kingdom of God until we get the lust for status under control. This is true in the material realm, as we shall see in a message planned for next week, and it is true in the religious realm as well, as we shall see this week.

Status or Substance? (Matt. 6:1-15) Note: here is my bulletin insert I wrote up along with the sermon. Sermon follows. Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (notes for Matt. 6:1-15) Since modern Judaism no longer has the Temple (in the Biblical sense) many Rabbis teach that charity, prayer, and fasting ...read more

The Lost Sheep

Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Nov 22, 2006

based on 14 ratings

| 5,916 views

When Jesus compares us to sheep, it may not be flattering, but it is apt.

Sheep don’t have a very good image, do they? If I asked what your favourite animal was, I doubt very much that any of you would say “sheep”. Our view of sheep is somewhat negative. We don’t say positive things like “Oh, he’s as strong as a sheep” or “She’s as wise as a sheep”. How about “as ...read more

FBC Gaithersburg: funeral for Julia McNeely Vance, centenarian, physician, daughter of Irish Baptists. Text and poem requested by family. Julia's commitments, nurtured early, brought her into an unusual life. Not delivered by me because of illness.

That classically Irish face looks out at me from the printed page, and I wonder what it must have been like for Julia McNeely, born a century ago, to have grown up and to have followed her calling. On one side were all the customs and expectations of her day and time … that women would live ...read more
