  • The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 28, 2002
    based on 74 ratings
     | 27,495 views

    The parable of the good samaritan gives us more than a contrast between love and indifference. It gives us a contrast between two kinds of religion.

    This morning, we continue our mini-series on the parables of Christ. Parables are stories intended to convey spiritual truth. They’re not historical; they’re not accounts of actual events; they are fictional narratives involving made-up characters. The situations they describe never really ...read more

  • The Prodigal Son

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 5, 2002
    based on 108 ratings
     | 36,035 views

    The younger son wanted blessing without relationship. So did the elder son. And so do we today.

    This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. As we’ve noted before, a parable is a short story which is intended to teach or illustrate some spiritual truth. Parables are small but powerful, and this is demonstrated by their familiarity. Few of us, I imagine, could explain ...read more

  • Should You Make Resolutions? Yes!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 86 ratings
     | 5,158 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
     | 19,455 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
     | 21,964 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

    based on 85 ratings
     | 25,585 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

  • Seeking God And Holiness

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 2, 2003
    based on 71 ratings
     | 8,324 views

    Seeking God requires a commitment to growing in personal holiness.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been considering, in a broad sense, the topic of seeking God. What it means to pursue God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Why we should desire to do so, why it’s beneficial and even essential that we continue striving for God throughout our lives – ...read more

    based on 67 ratings
     | 3,683 views

    If we desire to know God, we must declare war on sin.

    For the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about seeking God. What it means to pursue God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. And why it’s necessary to do so; why it’s not only desirable and beneficial, but even essential, that we continue striving for God throughout our lives. Last week, ...read more

  • Saddam Dances To God's Tune

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 16, 2003
    based on 154 ratings
     | 5,335 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

  • God's Indestructible Love

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 21, 2001
    based on 49 ratings
     | 4,966 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
     | 10,494 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
     | 5,882 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

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 18, 2001
    based on 86 ratings
     | 4,068 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

    based on 67 ratings
     | 3,694 views

    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
