    Building Community - The Importance Of Unity Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 75 ratings
     | 17,319 views

    Unity in the church is important because it reflects the character of God, it exemplifies what Christ came to do, and it is necessary to the health and growth of the church.

    Does it seem to you that people are angrier than they used to be? The unspoken rules of civility that help us all to live together in a society are either unknown or ignored. Violence is seen as an acceptable way of addressing conflicts. People seem less tolerant, more willing to lash out at one ...read more

     | 17,815 views

    We build communitiy in the church by bearing one another’s burdens and serving one another.

    “Community.” A sense of belonging, of being connected with people. Knowing that if you don’t show up, someone will notice, knowing that people care if you show up or not. Having things in common – common values, priorities, beliefs. Having people to share things with – joys and sorrows, work and ...read more

    We build community in the church by willingly turning a blind eye to one another’s faults.

    How many of you have watched the television show, “Cheers”? For eleven seasons, from 1982 to 1993, Cheers was one of the highest-rated shows on television, and since 1993 its spinoff, Frasier, has also consistently been at the top of the ratings. What accounts for this popularity? Inspired writing, ...read more

    Freedom Without Escape

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001
    based on 74 ratings
     | 7,098 views

    Real freedom does not come from escaping your circumstances, or from being able to do whatever you want; real freedom is the power to live in obedience to God.

    Do you feel free? Or do you sometimes feel trapped? No way out, all the exits boarded up? Ever feel that all your obligations and responsibilities have tied you down, that all you’re doing is marching to someone else’s music, responding to someone else’s demands, all the time doing what you have to ...read more

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001
    based on 79 ratings
     | 11,180 views

    We can thrive in the midst of change by relying on our unchanging God.

    "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in ...read more

    Making A Full Recovery

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 12,036 views

    How do we get back on track after lapsing into sin?

    Often, as we come together for Sunday morning worship or Friday evening Bible study, the topics we address have to do with how to be a good Christian. I don’t mean that in a negative way ("aren’t you a good little Christian"). I mean that we consider what the Bible teaches about how to be faithful, ...read more

    Contentment

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 45 ratings
     | 11,126 views

    We can cultivate contentment by giving thanks, by realizing that God withholds no good thing from us, and by seeking that which is eternal.

    Joy is a deep, abiding sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that flows from our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the birthright of every Christian, something purchased for us by Christ, something we all desire and which God desires for us. And yet joy is something which we don’t always ...read more

    How To Hold On When You Feel Like Giving Up

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 436 ratings
     | 100,654 views

    How do we keep holding on when we feel like giving up? How do we find the strength to persevere, to go on?

    Ever feel like giving up? Ever feel like quitting? Ever feel like your situation is so hopeless that the only thing you can possibly do is leave? Just walk away, head out the door and never come back? In extreme circumstances, people can feel so much emotional pain that they take their own lives. ...read more

    Jesus - Absolute Victor

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 141 ratings
     | 6,496 views

    Jesus is completely victorious over sin and death

    Are you a winner or a loser? We all want to be winners, don’t we? At the end of the game, we want to be on the side with 14 runs, like the White Sox had last night, instead of the team with 3 runs, like the Indians. Nike had a slogan a couple of years ago that reflected this attitude: "second ...read more

    God's Indestructible Love

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 21, 2001
    based on 49 ratings
     | 5,520 views

    What in this world is truly indestructible? Only God’s love.

    Over the past few weeks, we’ve been reminded, in a shocking and brutal way, that nothing in this world is indestructible. For over two decades, the twin towers of the World Trade Center stood watch over New York City, monuments to man’s skill, and energy, and intelligence. Everyone assumed they ...read more

    A Hope For All Seasons

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 28, 2001
    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,639 views

    True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

    As a pastor, one of the things I’m called upon to do is to comfort those who are going through difficult circumstances. At times of suffering or crisis, people typically look to the minister for support and encouragement. And so, when tragedy strikes, or the storms of life become overwhelming, or ...read more

    Hope And Pray

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 4, 2001
    based on 47 ratings
     | 7,014 views

    Walking in hope means allowing our vision of the life to come to permeate our daily life here and now. How do we do this?

    This morning, I’d like to continue looking at the topic of "hope" which we began last week. Let’s begin with the basics. Hope is a function of two things: First, it arises from the fact that we have desires, that we prefer some things over others. Otherwise, we would be completely indifferent to ...read more

    based on 86 ratings
     | 4,507 views

    Despite some pitfalls in Dr. Wilkinson’s presentation, the prayer of Jabez is an inspirational and useful tool for believers.

    "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested." -- 1 Chronicles 4:10, NKJV All of us struggle ...read more

    What does it mean to ask that God "enlarge our territory"?

    This morning, we continue our study of the prayer of Jabez, found in 1 Chronicles 4:10: "And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" ...read more

     | 26,764 views

    What does the title "Wonderful Counselor" tell us about Jesus?

    This morning, we begin a new sermon series; during the Advent season, we’ll be looking at four of the names of Christ, found in the Old Testament book of Isaiah. These names are prophetic descriptions of the King who was to come; they told God’s people what kind of deliverer He would send them; ...read more
