  • Portrait Of A Godly Mother

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 13, 2001
    based on 69 ratings
     | 8,618 views

    The humility essential for motherhood is a picture of the humility of Christ.

    Mother’s Day was first officially observed in the United States in 1914. And ever since then, it has been the annual goal of candy makers, greeting card companies, florists, and restaurant owners to persuade you that the best way to show appreciation to your mother on her special day is to spend as ...read more

  • Teach Your Children Well

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 20, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 8,834 views

    The responsibility for training up children belongs with parents.

    I’d like to begin this morning with a story about my lawn. In the two years we’ve lived in Westlake, we’ve noticed that most of the lawns look very nice. And of course, that’s the suburban ideal, isn’t it? Getting away from the city, with all of its concrete, and asphalt, and buildings stacked one ...read more

  • Leadership In The Home

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 29, 2001
    based on 108 ratings
     | 8,605 views

    How the Biblical model of male headship should work, and what it is meant to show us about God.

    This morning, my choice of topics presents me with a difficult task. No one compels me; I willingly undertake it. But it is difficult. Because I know that what I have to say concerning leadership in the home – or rather, what the Scriptures have to say – will likely encounter some resistance. ...read more

  • Submission In The Home

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 3, 2001
    based on 56 ratings
     | 3,995 views

    The Bible sees no contradiction between the equality of men and women before God, and the distinction in roles in marriage.

    Last Sunday, I spoke on the issue of male headship in the home. I mentioned that this was a difficult topic to preach on, because this is an area where our society is so far out of synch with God’s plan. I said that today, those who uphold the Biblical pattern for the home are ridiculed and ...read more

  • A Matter Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Alan Adams on Jun 4, 2001
    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,212 views

    Belief is not a product of ’signs and wonders’ it is a product of faith.

    STRATHMOOR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH PENTECOST SUNDAY -- 05-03-01 -- John 4:43-54 / Isaiah 43:1-9a A MATTER OF THE HEART I. Are you confused yet? (You’re probably not alone -- if you’ve given up -- on tracking Jesus’ whereabouts.) 1. You aught to be confused -- because I have found that ...read more

  • Endurance

    based on 54 ratings
     | 22,722 views

    Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Antarctic expedition provides a powerful example of endurance (with applications for the marriage relationship).

    This morning, I’d like to tell you a story. It’s a true story, about an epic journey undertaken in the early part of this century. It’s a tale of great deeds attempted, of great disappointments and failures, and also of great achievements. And it’s a tale of a group of ordinary men who were pushed ...read more

  • Honoring Fathers

    based on 62 ratings
     | 12,339 views

    We honor fathers best by recognizing the critically important work God has given them.

    Father’s Day is a strange holiday. Like Mother’s Day, it’s a civil holiday, established by a Resolution of Congress and by an annual Presidential Proclamation. It was first recognized by Calvin Coolidge in 1924, and this year the President once again named June 15th as Father’s Day. So, ...read more

  • Don't Go Down With The Ship!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 24, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,772 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
     | 9,260 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

  • Evangelism

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 8, 2001
    based on 45 ratings
     | 26,308 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
    based on 263 ratings
     | 46,803 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
     | 29,314 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
     | 40,637 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

  • Service

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 5, 2001
    based on 79 ratings
     | 21,666 views

    What does it mean to serve as Christ did?

    If I were to ask you to describe yourself in one word; if I were to ask what one adjective best sums up your identity, what would you say? If you met someone for the first time, and they asked, "What are you?" how would you answer? What single term would you give in response to that question? You ...read more

  • Commitment

    What does it mean to be committed? Why is it important?

    On April 21st, in the year 1519, the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez sailed into the harbor of Vera Cruz, Mexico. He brought with him only about 600 men, and yet over the next two years his vastly outnumbered forces were able to defeat Montezuma and all the warriors of the Aztec empire, making ...read more
