Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and ...read more

    When we experience the death of a loved one, memories and feelings run rampant in our hearts and minds. We must allow God to heal us.

    1. As we gather here, there are many feelings that are present with us today. I know at death our feelings are touched like no other time. 2. Also present here today, are many memories. These become more precious to me at the time of death, memories of a son, brother, neighbor, and friend. a. I am ...read more

    This sermon explores the importance of faith, obedience, preparedness, and gratitude in our spiritual journey, using the parable of the ten virgins as a guide.

    The Love Of Christmas

    based on 376 ratings
     | 41,518 views

    Christmas revealed to us God’s desire to have fellowship with man and His desire to meet us at our point of need.

    John began his Gospel quite differently from the rest of the Gospel writers. The rest started with the historical accounts of the events that took place. · Matthew and Luke talked about circumstances leading to Jesus’ birth. · Mark started off with Jesus entering into ministry, writing about a ...read more

    From the words of Simeon when he saw Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus in the Temple. Know that at Christmas (1) our consolation has come; and (2) we have all that we need for life.

    Do you look forward to Christmas? Kids love Christmas, because they know many wonderful things happen at Christmas. They will have lots of fun, parties and gifts. We all look forward to Christmas for many different reasons. Some for the bargains you’ll at Christmas sale; others will take it ...read more

    Brood Of Vipers

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Dec 14, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,108 views

    What drove the man who wore rags rather than “Botany 500” was being true to God’s calling on his life – making certain his generation understood genuine faith and power. There have always been a lot of mistaken ideas about that.

    John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up ...read more

    Imagine with me, if you would. You are an employee at a store. The store has had an incredible year; profits are through the roof. The store is having the best year ever.

    Waiting....a Centering Excercise

    Contributed by Derek Noorman on Dec 8, 2012
     | 4,180 views

    With three powerful words, "Let it be...," Mary goes from Nazerene poor girl to highly exalted mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. But Mary's words also give us a different perspective on our own waiting.

    Prayer for Illumination: Lord we bring ourselves to your word this morning, And we ask that you would speak to us that we might hear your words. Unstop our ears to listen, Chase the thoughts of tasks unfinished and tasks yet to do from our minds, Open our hearts to be responsive to your ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the hope of Advent. Our community suffered the devastation of Hurricane Michael and we spent 2019 reacting to the chaos. This series is an encouragement to turn the corner and find newness in God's hope and mercy.

    Making Room

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 8, 2001
    based on 173 ratings
     | 15,797 views

    This is the second in an Advent Series. This message deals with those who neglected to notice Mary & Joseph in the inn. Thoughts for the direction of this sermon were greatly influenced by a John MacArthur message "The People Who Missed Christmas".

    Making Room…Luke 2:1-7 Intro: (Read Text) He gets a pretty bum rap for someone we actually don’t even know exists. The Bible doesn’t mention him (or if he existed). Tradition talks a great deal about the fellow – but it’s still all tradition and folk-lore to be historically honest: that “poor ...read more

    One of the ways that we can make meaningful connections is by connecting with people who are often overlooked.

    Several years ago there was a game show called, Name That Tune in which contestants competed for cash and prizes by trying to name songs in as few notes as possible. The famous line being of course, I can name that song in one note! This morning, we are going to briefly play “Name That Person” ...read more

    A Dividing Peace

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,871 views

    The Prince of Peace was born in Bethlehem but his birth didn’t bring the peace this world longs for. Instead, he brought a sword. The peace that Jesus offers is a peace with God.

    A DIVIDING PEACE Luke 2:13-14, "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." One of the best things about Christmas has always been that people were kinder and more generous ...read more

    Ever since the brightness of heaven flooded the hills of Bethlehem; and the far off twinkling star guided Eastern wise-men to the new born King…Christ has been the Light of the world, and we have celebrated Christmas with colorful lights.
