    Sorry I Missed Your Visit Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Mar 13, 2006
    based on 90 ratings
     | 16,120 views

    This is about the idea in Lk.19:44 - the people missed the day of God’s visitation. This sermon talks about missing it when God tries to speak to us for our own good.

    Luke 19:28-44 – Sorry I Missed Your Visit Today we are looking at a familiar story from The Life of Jesus. It’s what we call the Triumphal Entry. It tells when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday, 5 days before His death on what we call Good Friday, and one week before Jesus ...read more

    A grace-filled sermon about Peter. We all mess up, even though we shouldn’t, and don’t have to, but we do. There’s still hope for us anyway.

    Luke 22:31-34; 54-62 – When a Believer Fails Today, as we continue to look at The Life of Jesus, we are looking at a familiar story from Scripture. We are going to look at Peter, in particular, his failure. But what it really a failure of faith? What was it? And are we likely to go through it ...read more

    Doing Church Together

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Aug 6, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,186 views

    At its best, the church is communal, creedal, charismatic, and caring.

    Doing Church Together Ephesians 4:1-16 August 6, 2006 One of the things that I have learned through the years as I have taken scores of psychological tests for ordination and continuing education is that I am terribly introverted. I am so introverted that I am almost off the scale. Extraverted ...read more

    based on 164 ratings
     | 12,589 views

    Watching out for falsehood requires both recognition and realization.

    INTRO.- ILL.- It is my understanding that many years ago (1979) Bradley, Automotive Division of Thor Corporation, sold a fiberglass body that fit perfectly onto a VW bug chassis. The body was very modern in style and design, giving the impression it was an expensive sports car. On the outside it ...read more

    Removing The Frogs Of Addiction

    Contributed by Matthew Morine on Aug 8, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,703 views

    Tomorrow is always better than today. Many times the pain is easier than the change. Why did Pharaoh wait until tomorrow for Moses to remove the Frogs? Maybe because of the same reasons we wait before removing sinful habits from our lives.

    REMOVING THE FROGS THEME: REMOVING SINFUL HABITS TODAY NOT TOMORROW. There was a merciful dullness in her mind now, a dullness that she knew from long experience would soon give way to sharp pain, even as severed tissues, shocked by the surgeon’s knife, have a brief instant of insensibility ...read more

    Be Quiet, Be Still And Behave

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 14, 2006
    based on 88 ratings
     | 27,348 views

    Being quiet and still drives us nuts! But we are told in Scripture to seek God in the stillness -- not in the noise and busy-ness of life.

    If there is one thing that drives us almost insane, If there is one thing that we cannot stand, If there is one thing that makes us uncomfortable it’s... (The sermon begins with the pastor standing in the pulpit, and simply standing for a full minute, doing nothing but waiting, seeming to be ...read more

    What About Your Gestures?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,760 views

    The gestures of worship - lifting up holy hands in praise - must be in sync with the gestures of holy living.

    Gesture Theology Ephesians 5:15-20 August 20, 2006 I remember the very first sermon I ever preached. It was at License to Preach School down at DePauw University during the summer of 1972, between my freshman and sophomore years in college. I knew that I was headed for seminary by that time, and ...read more

    Learn to persevere in prayer - "pull" by the hope we have in Christ, and keep up the "push" in faith.

    How do you normally approach God? Do we come to Him with determination and passion? Or as someone whom we turn to only when it’s convenient? To drop Him a line only when we can? The way we approach Him reveals a lot about ourselves – do I really need Him? How much do I really depend on Him? Do ...read more

    How To Impress God

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 2, 2005
    based on 178 ratings
     | 51,460 views

    We can only impress God when we finally realize that we have nothing in life aside from Christ within us. That is how we manage to impress God - not with our pride, but with our humble honesty.

    There was a very lost, wicked, and rebellious man who decided it would be good for business if he went down to the church and joined it. He was an adulterer, an alcoholic, and had never been a member of a church in his life. But when he went down to place membership, he gave public testimony to ...read more

    Jesus loves the outcast and calls them into redemption, and so should we.

    Apprenticing Under The Master Mark 2:13-17 The Calling of Levi I don’t think that tax collectors have an equal today in Canada in terms of how people in Judea felt about them. Hate would be too weak a word. Even today, tax collectors are not well-loved in the best of situations! But these ...read more
