    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

    This is the 5th of our series on Action in Acts. We look at the charges against Peter, how he did not seek to justify himself but share what God was doing, and how we are called to focus on what is truly important.

    Action – Follow the right voice (5:17-42) Have you noticed how there seems to be people making stands for all sorts of things in life? There are thousands of causes, and there are people fighting for all sorts of things. Even within the “church” community, there are people with ...read more

    Growing in Jesus love is a key part of our lives as a Christian. In the sermon we explore what growing is Jesus love involves, what it means for us and how it affects our lives.

    Today we are exploring what it means to grow in the love of Jesus. When we look at the dictionary for the meaning of growing words like bigger, more, larger, taller, healthier and living pop up. Now throughout our lives there will be times when we want to be growing. But there are also times for ...read more

    It is amazing how genuine kindness and love touches others! Equally amazing to me is why we fail to express love or receive love until the most desperate kind of circumstances sweep over us.

    We face troubling times, not the least of which is the challenge of raising our children as Christians in a world crazed by hedonism, secularism and lack of moral and ethical moorings. There is stability to be found in Jesus.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) In Hebrews 13:8, we read, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” This is one of the most powerful verses in all the Scriptures, and one that most ...read more

    Servants Of The Word

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,347 views

    Luke says we're to be "servants" of the Word, not be critics of it or think we're over it. WHY? Because the Word of God is Divine/Eternal, because it's superior to us, and because it is the final authority. The Bible is the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

    SERVANTS OF THE WORD Luke 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW THE BIBLE 1. Did you hear the story about the lady who was talking to her friend and brought up the Bible. Her friend said, “Oh don’t start trying to tell to me about the Bible; my parents had me read it every day. I’m ...read more

    Beyond our three decades of ministry, and in spite of the terrors of this world, we have great reason to rejoice in the Lord! (Context of sermon: Preached on our Congregation's Rally Day and 30th Anniversary.)

    [Singing] “This is the day / This is the day / That the Lord has made / That the Lord has made / I will rejoice / I will rejoice / And be glad in it / And be glad in it!” I worked at a camp in Wisconsin one summer, and we sang this song every day.

    Essential to the life and growth of any church is corporate worship. Corporate worship is a significant indicator of the true spiritual condition of a congregation. But what exactly should corporate worship look like?

    Church Essentials: Part Three True Worship - Acts 2:41-42 Essential to the life and growth of any church is corporate worship.

    Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; it’s making sure everything is right—right with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,829 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more
