    Rejoice Anyway!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 15, 2002
    based on 84 ratings
     | 5,420 views

    Is your Christmas turning out to be less than ideal? So was the first one. Rejoice anyway!

    The Christmas season is a time of celebration, a time of rejoicing. As the song tells us, "It’s the most wonderful time of the year!" And there are dozens more where that came from, Christmas songs exhorting us to rejoice and be of good cheer; songs like "Good Christian Men, Rejoice!" and, "We Wish ...read more

    It Will Be Worth It All

     | 9,337 views

    The joy of Christmas morning fades, but the joy of Christ’s second Advent will never diminish.

    This week, I read an article in USA Today, in which various celebrities were asked to name their most memorable Christmas present. These were A-list celebrities; people with money and fame; people who can have pretty much anything they want. Catherine Zeta-Jones, for example. You may know her as ...read more

    Should You Make Resolutions? Yes!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 86 ratings
     | 5,654 views

    Four reasons why making (and keeping) resolutions can be a spiritually beneficial practice.

    How many of you made New Year’s resolutions this year? (Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to reveal any specifics. That could get a little embarrassing.) Researchers tell us that about a third of Americans do make New Year’s resolutions. Not only is it traditional, it’s human nature. When we pass a ...read more

    Harnessing The Power Of The Tongue

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 12, 2003
    based on 124 ratings
     | 20,564 views

    We should seek to harness the tongue because: (1) It has great power to do good and evil (2) Our speech reveals our heart (3) It glorifies God.

    In last week’s message, I gave four reasons why it can be a spiritually beneficial practice for us to make and keep resolutions. They stimulate us to think about what it means to be godly; what it means to be conformed to the image of Christ. They express our faith in God’s promises to transform ...read more

    Seeking God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 19, 2003
    based on 89 ratings
     | 24,919 views

    Seeking God is a lifelong quest for every Christian.

    At the beginning of a new year, I like to get back to basics, to talk about the fundamentals of the Christian faith. What are we really doing here? Why do we get up every Sunday morning and come together with other people, to sing songs about God and listen to a talk on religion? Why do we pray, ...read more

    The Rewards Of Seeking God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2003
    based on 85 ratings
     | 27,770 views

    God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

    Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more

    Saddam Dances To God's Tune

    based on 154 ratings
     | 5,749 views

    Just like another Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam Hussein has to do God’s will, like it or not.

    If you’ve been paying attention to the news for the last few weeks, you’ve probably concluded, as I have, that we are marching inexorably toward an imminent war in Iraq, regardless of what the U.N. may do. President Bush and various cabinet officials have said as much in their public statements – ...read more

    A Failed Church?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 17, 2003
    based on 66 ratings
     | 5,917 views

    God’s view of "failure" vs. the world’s view.

    This morning, I’d like to offer some thoughts on where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we go from here. I don’t claim that this is a comprehensive summary of our history as a church; nor do I present this as the final, authoritative word on what we’ve suffered and accomplished. For one ...read more

    Don't Go Down With The Ship!

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,940 views

    The actions of those on the Titanic who volunarily gave up their seats in the lifeboat to others illustrates the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners.

    This morning, I’d like to tell you the story of the sinking of the Titanic. At 11:30 p.m., on April 14, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic, the pride of the White Star cruise line sailing on her maiden voyage, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and sank less than 2 1/2 hours later, taking with her ...read more

    Who Needs The Church?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 4, 2001
    based on 84 ratings
     | 9,374 views

    For anyone who wants to know God, the church is essential.

    Let’s imagine it’s sometime this afternoon. You’re at home, working in the front yard, and you see a moving van stop a couple of houses down the street. Two men get out of the truck and start unloading furniture. Then you see a minivan pull up to the curb, and a family gets out. You want to be a ...read more

    How evangelism integrates into church life.

    Let’s imagine that you have somehow come into possession of an important piece of information that affects every single person you know. Everyone in your neighborhood. Everyone in your family. Everyone you work with. Everyone you meet at the bank, or the grocery store, or the mall as you go ...read more

    Worship

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 16, 2001
    based on 263 ratings
     | 47,642 views

    What is worship? How do we worship, and what prevents us from worshiping?

    We probably all have some kind of mental picture of what it means to worship. Depending on your church background, when you think of worship you may think of classical sacred music - a great choir, singing the Hallelujah chorus. Or perhaps what comes to mind is the image of a traditional brick ...read more

    Fellowship

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 22, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 29,671 views

    What is Christian fellowship? why is it important? How do we do it?

    I’ve never run a marathon, which probably doesn’t surprise most of you. Nor have I ever competed in a triathlon (although I do own an Ironman Triathlon wristwatch, which is almost the same thing). But what you may not know is that in high school, I was a runner. I lettered in cross-country, and my ...read more

     | 41,150 views

    What is discipleship? What does it have to do with the church?

    This morning, we continue our look at the five purposes of the church, the five primary reasons that we relate to one another as a body of believers, rather than just living out our faith privately as individuals. So far, we’ve looked at three - evangelism, worship, fellowship - and today, we ...read more
