    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,041 views

    Neverland and Peter Pan have entertained children and adults for generations, but there are misconceptions among Church people that are nothing less than fantasy with no foundation in reality.

    FINDING NEVERLAND June 19, 2005 Jerry Goff Magnolia Springs A/G Hurley, Mississippi There is a movie that was released recently entitled “Finding Neverland. The movie was nominated for several academy awards and explains how the author of Peter Pan, James Barrie, was inspired to write the very ...read more

    Three adults in John’s Gospel are the product of a very dedicated and devout mother. Although never named in the Bible, this mother cast a big shadow.

    What My Dad Should Not Have Taught Me

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Mar 19, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,678 views

    How we as adults reflect on our past sin influences the children in our lives, to expect censure or approval when they sin in similar ways.

    What my dad should not have taught me Genesis 26:1-12 My father has told me many stories. Most of them took place before he became a Christian, because I can remember his life since then. Some of these stories have elements of sin in them. My father and all fathers must ask this question: Does ...read more

    A short talk for our Christmas Pensioners' Praise service but it works for all adult congregations. Some lessons about life and evangelism for all Christians

    I’m going to pick out three snippets of conversation that caused shock in the 1st Century Land that Jesus walked; three bits of conversation that could change the course of the church in Billericay in our time. 1. The Samaritan woman said to Jesus, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan ...read more

    Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 2, 2013
     | 4,525 views

    Defending toe to toe seems to be the way of life; patience, kindness, gentleness seems to be passé! Children/adults later ape them. Watch out!

    Gentleness! ‘Let your gentleness be known to all men?’ (Philippians 4:5) The word ‘gentleness’ is archaic in this barbaric world! Take a look around and you will find aggressiveness, rebelliousness and boisterousness being hailed in reality shows and TV soaps, be it, ...read more

    Part 7 of an 8-part series that was originally developed as a 13-week adult class. This part examines the Christian's relationship with and responsibility to civil government.

    DIVINE PROVIDENCE This is Part 7 of an 8-part series that was originally developed for a 13-week adult class, with some of the parts taking more or less than a 45-minute class period.

    God Doesn't Have A Drive-Thru Window.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,899 views

    God is not a fast food resteraunt with a drive-thru. We don't get our salvation OUR way, but rather, we take it God's way, or we just DON'T get it.

    Launching Text: Jeremiah 18:1-6 We often take for granted the convenience of a drive-thru at McDonalds, right up until, for whatever reason, we have to park the car and go inside the store to get our low-quality burgers and fries. At this point we begin to complain. Giving up control is difficult ...read more

    Adoption

     | 5,059 views

    We come into God’s family by Spiritual birth. But the instant we are born into the family, God adopts us and gives us the position of an adult son.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Adoption is the process by which a person who does not belong to a given family is formally brought into it and made a full, legal family member with the rights and responsibilities of that position. The practice of adoption was not common among the Jews, but was more ...read more

    The Baptism Of Jesus

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Feb 16, 2009
     | 7,324 views

    A brief background about John the Baptizer, who was Mark, and why would Jesus have to be Baptized? This was preached on a Sunday morning when an adult Baptism was performed.

    The Baptism of Jesus This morning, we’ll begin taking a walk through the Gospel of Mark. It seems to me it’s probably a good idea to know a little about Mark as we begin this journey. And after we come to know a little more about Mark, we’ll look at what happened one day in a river long ago and ...read more

    I wrote this funeral message for a mentally handicapped adult who was very child-like. It is based on some of the more obscure verses of "Jesus Loves Me."

    INTRODUCTION: One of the most familiar Christian songs in the world is “Jesus Loves Me.” Most of us can recall one or two verses, but did you know that the author of the song, Anna Bartlett Warner, originally wrote seven? BODY: As I looked at some of the more obscure verses, I quickly realized ...read more

     | 12,514 views

    To honor your parents means to obey them if you're a child living at home, to respect them if your an adult child, and to care for them if they are disabled.

    A couple of months ago (March 16, 2017), a London newspaper, ran an article on Mother’s Day in Great Brittan titled “20 awful Mother's Day cards that you absolutely should not buy.” They included: Mom, thanks for always checking up on me (with a picture of a cell phone with 24 unanswered calls ...read more

    Three things to help us get to a higher level in our walk with God. Included in this sermon is a kid's sermon I did before the adult sermon.

    Kids Sermon So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. 1 Kings 19:19 NKJV Elijah needed a replacement and God sent him to a young man named ...read more

    How Does One Get To Heaven

    Contributed by John Hamby on Jul 23, 2018
     | 10,305 views

    A contrast, between a child who received Jesus just the way He offers and a wealthy adult who wanted to come to Jesus on his own terms.

    “How Does One Get To Heaven?” Luke 18:15-27 So how does one get right with God? How does one get to Heaven? Previously in Luke chapter eighteen, Jesus has just told the Parable of the ...read more

     | 5,832 views

    This sermon was prepared to help the baptism candidates understand the meaning of baptism and why baptism is necessary. I prepared for the youth group, but it would apply to adults as well.

    Baptism like a wedding ring (at Youth Gathering) Baptism like a wedding ring: Just as a wedding ring symbolizes your marriage, Baptism symbolizes your identification with Jesus. Just as a wedding ring itself doesn't make you married, Baptism doesn't make you Christian. Just as a wedding ...read more

    The Thessalonians # 6

     | 1,349 views

    One of the things adults talk about is how it seems that young people today do not appreciate the many sacrifices many parents have made for them.

    Why is this the case? It could be because they have been given many things without exerting any effort themselves whatsoever. Therefore they can not really appreciate the sacrifices that have been made to make it possible for them to have those things. This explains why they do not think the way ...read more
