    Evangelism

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 8, 2001
    based on 45 ratings
     | 26,265 views

    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

     | 46,790 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
     | 29,304 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

    Discipleship

    based on 95 ratings
     | 40,630 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

    Grow Up And Be Like A Child!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 30, 2003
    based on 89 ratings
     | 31,292 views

    As we mature in Christ, we will necessarily become more like little children.

    Several mornings this week, I stationed myself on the sidewalk in front of the church to welcome the children as they arrived for Vacation Bible School. I loved seeing them troop up the front steps, clutching their dimes and quarters for the offering. Sometimes, I would sneak up in the balcony and ...read more

    Entertaining Angels (Hospitality)

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 6, 2003
    based on 116 ratings
     | 21,262 views

    Hospitality isn’t just an admirable social skill; It’s essential for anyone who follows Christ. When we show kindness to outsiders, we reflect the character of God.

    This morning, I’d like to talk about hospitality. Now, I realize that, being the Fourth of July weekend, you might have been expecting a sermon on a patriotic theme, something like "freedom", or "sacrifice", or "the faith of our founding fathers". So, to connect my topic with the holiday, I’ll ...read more

    Don't Put The Fire Out

    Contributed by Alan Stokes on Mar 2, 2001
    based on 154 ratings
     | 13,398 views

    It is important for us to have a Christian life that is on fire for God and we must make sure we do not put out our own fire or the fire of Christian ministries outside our own tradition or the fire of the little ones.

    Once upon a time I went camping. A few of us stayed up late and talked around the campfire. From time to time one of us would add some wood to the fire so the “fire wouldn’t go out” and the camp site would remain warm, secure, and lighted. If you haven’t noticed the camp fires of the Lord’s ...read more

     | 7,245 views

    This a funeral sermon on Psalm 23 given for Janice Henderson (d. 1996).

    We are gathered here this morning recognizing that all of us have experienced a loss in the absence of Janice Henderson from our midst. Fred has lost a wife, Steve, Catherine, Suzi, and Jodi have lost a mother, Melissa, John, and Michelle have lost a grandmother, and Mariah has lost a ...read more

    Created To Praise God!

    Contributed by Alan Stokes on Mar 4, 2001
    based on 101 ratings
     | 12,233 views

    This is a funeral sermon for Bessie McCloud (died 1991), a Christian who was bed-ridden for several years before her death.

    Today, we seek to draw some eternal meaning from the life that Bessie McCloud has lived, in hopes that it will help us find God’s will for our own human life. Bessie’s life spanned almost the entire 20th century, but for the Christian who has died, we can see a faith history that stretches back ...read more

    Trust Is More Than Skin Deep

    Psalm 36 shows us that a trustworthy God can satisfy our every need, if we will simply trust Him in everything.

    Introduction: Read Psalm 36 I heard of a car bumper sticker that says, "Honk, if anything falls off." Does anybody feel that your life is like that sometimes? I. God Is Trustworthy (verses 5-7a) Look at verses 5-7a. Notice how the Psalmist compares the character of God to nature. He wants ...read more

    Contributed by Alan Stokes on Mar 7, 2001
    based on 195 ratings
     | 25,994 views

    This message, based on Matthew 5:8, shows how impossible it is to have a pure heart without God’s help.

    Introduction: Read The Beatitudes ~ Matthew 5:3-10. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” I. Purity Beyond Our Reach Three of the ways we can stumble in purity is with impure words, impure emotions and impure thoughts ...read more

    Victory Attitudes

    based on 106 ratings
     | 8,729 views

    Mark 13 shows us the attitudes of being intent, confident, and expressive will bring us victory in the evil days in which we live.

    As we look at Mark chapter 13, we notice an overwhelming sense of doom in our future. We are told that "nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. And these are (just) the beginning of ...read more

    Our God Is Not Small

    Contributed by Alan Stokes on Mar 8, 2001
    based on 78 ratings
     | 8,273 views

    As we draw closer to the Jesus who was Transfigured, we will find that God is bigger than all of our problems.

    Today is Transfiguration Sunday. On this Sunday in the church year, we call to our memory the event when Jesus Christ went up on the mountain and his appearance radically changed before Moses, Elijah, Peter, James, and John. Read Luke 9:28-36 Several years ago now, J.B. Phillips wrote a best ...read more

    Surviving Your Finances Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 27, 2001
    based on 84 ratings
     | 10,558 views

    In order to survive our finances, we need to examine our heart attitude toward money and possessions.

    When it comes to money and finances, preachers often fall into one of two extremes. The first is to avoid mentioning money altogether; or, if they absolutely must talk about it, to approach the topic very gingerly and apologetically, with a vague sense of embarrassment, as if money were a subject ...read more

    Surviving Your Marriage Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 27, 2001
    based on 185 ratings
     | 18,037 views

    In order to survive your marriage, you need to: (1) seek to serve rather than be served, and (2) stop trying to change each other

    When a man and woman are first married, they typically share a dream of having a wonderful, loving, life together. But too often, after a few years their marriage resembles a field of battle more than a field of dreams. It may not be all-out warfare; the combatants may be able to put up a ...read more
