    Surviving Loss Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 27, 2001
    based on 64 ratings
     | 10,534 views

    We can survive loss by allowing ourselves to grieve, by receiving God’s comfort and strength, and by trusting in God’s sovereign purposes.

    As your pastor, I try to be as open and transparent as possible. I want you to know me well enough to see that the faith I talk about every week is real. And one of the ways you get to know someone is by asking what they like. Favorite food, favorite hobby. Favorite movie. So, in case any of you ...read more

    Surviving Job Stress Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 27, 2001
    based on 144 ratings
     | 13,330 views

    In order to survive job stress, we must put God first; we must sometimes say "no" to other things in order to say "yes" to God.

    Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands of your job, as if no matter how hard you work, you just get farther and farther behind? You go into the office early so you can get some work done before the phone starts ringing, you work through lunch answering e-mail, you stay late trying to get the ...read more

    Seeking God Through Obedience Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 28, 2001
    based on 137 ratings
     | 13,847 views

    We come to know God by obeying Him.

    I’d like to begin by telling you a little story about something that happened to me this week. I took the minivan in for an oil change at the Chrysler dealer. I was sitting in the waiting room, which was empty except for me and one other man. I was a little bored, so I struck up a conversation. And ...read more

    Seeking God Through Giving Series

     | 11,350 views

    We come to know God through giving.

    This morning, our topic is "Seeking God Through Giving". As you know if you’ve been attending this church for very long, we don’t emphasize giving. We don’t take an offering, we don’t pass the plate. We just have a basket in the back for contributions. I don’t look at the giving records, so I don’t ...read more

     | 11,179 views

    We come to know God through service.

    This morning is the third message in our five-part series on Seeking God. Just to review, on December 31st, I suggested to the church that we each make one resolution for the coming year: that in the year 2001, we would seek to know Christ more deeply than ever before. Why is this important? ...read more

    Seeking God Through Prayer Series

    based on 75 ratings
     | 16,570 views

    We come to know God through prayer.

    My goal this morning is very simple: to persuade you to pray. Not to persuade you that you ought to pray, or to convince you that prayer is a good thing. That’s not enough. No, what I want is to motivate you to actually do it. So if you leave here today agreeing with everything I said, and if you ...read more

    We come to know God through the Scriptures

    This rather imposing book I’m holding is not an easy one to read. In fact, it can be very difficult to understand. For one thing, it was written thousands of years ago, in the context of ancient cultures very different from ours. Their popular songs, their well-known stories, their familiar ...read more

    Getting Past Your Past

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 29, 2001
    based on 419 ratings
     | 53,982 views

    The good news is that we don’t have to be paralyzed by regret, we don’t have to let it rob us of the joy and hope that God has promised us as our birthright in Christ

    In "A Christmas Carol", Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who against his will, takes him back to a time when he was still a young man. Scrooge sees himself proposing to the woman he loved, a woman who later breaks their engagement because she realizes that he has come to ...read more

    How Easter Makes Sense Of Christianity Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 29, 2001
    based on 354 ratings
     | 10,708 views

    Without the resurrection, nothing about Christianity makes sense. But with the resurrection, Christianity is the only thing that makes sense of life.

    I stand before you today, on this the holiest day of the Christian year, to declare that the Christian religion is utter nonsense. A huge mass of inconsistencies; a conglomeration of all that is absurd, ridiculous, incomprehensible, contradictory, unbelievable, incredible, and patently false. Allow ...read more

    Mary - Faithful Servant Of God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 29, 2001
    based on 85 ratings
     | 11,790 views

    Mary’s faith and devotion to God is an example to Christian mothers today.

    Today, as you know, is Mother’s Day; a day set apart to honor Mothers and Motherhood. Why mention Mother’s Day in church? After all, it’s not a religious holiday. Mother’s Day was created by the state, not the church. Since 1914, the President has made an official proclamation every year ...read more

    based on 80 ratings
     | 12,899 views

    Our one great resolution in the New Year should be to seek Christ.

    I hope everyone had an enjoyable and blessed Christmas. I hope that, amidst all the travelling, and feasting, and gift-giving, and family reunioning, and football watching, you were able to remember that what we are really celebrating during this season is the birth of Jesus Christ. As you may ...read more

    The Hope Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 200 ratings
     | 79,263 views

    Christmas is hope personified. It highlights the fact that Christianity is essentially a religion of hope.

    Today we began the Advent season by lighting the first Advent candle, the candle of hope. As we heard a few minutes ago, this candle reminds us of the hope God gave His people when He promised to send them a Messiah, a Savior, a Deliverer. The candle reminds us that this promise was fulfilled in ...read more

    The Shepherds Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 1,310 ratings
     | 176,356 views

    God’s choice of the lowly shepherds, as those to whom the announcement of Christ’s birth came, shows that his love is available to all on the same basis -- faith.

    [Luke 2:8-20] Most people in America are familiar with this passage, even if they rarely crack open a Bible. These verses from Luke have even entered the popular culture, through Linus’ famous speech in the Charlie Brown Christmas video. Every December since 1965, in between televised scenes of ...read more

    The Humility Of The Incarnation Series

     | 21,473 views

    Christ’s humility, displayed in the incarnation, is an example for us as his disciples.

    Well, after thirty-five days, we finally have a President-elect. How many watched the speeches on Wednesday night? How many can’t remember who won? How many don’t care who won? It’s definitely one for the history books. All during the last five weeks, we’ve been hearing that this is a great lesson ...read more

    The Greatest Gift Series

    based on 1,419 ratings
     | 93,887 views

    The birth of Jesus Christ represents a gift of great value, but one which must be opened and received.

    Christmas is a time of giving. And that means Christmas is a time of shopping. Ever since the wise men from the east showed up at the stable carrying gold, frankincense, and myrrh, people have been exchanging gifts at Christmas. Of course, it’s much more complicated today than it was for the wise ...read more
