    You Were Created To Become Like Christ

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 4, 2002
    based on 63 ratings
     | 12,882 views

    The third purpose of our lives is to become like Christ.

    Note: This message draws heavily on the outline and ideas in Rick Warren’s sermon of the same name, in the Purpose Driven Life series. This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life". We began by establishing that God made us for a reason, every one of us. No one here ...read more

    The fourth purpose of our lives is to serve God.

    (Note: The title, and some of the ideas for this message came from Rick Warren’s sermon of the same name.) This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life". We began by establishing that God made us for a reason, every one of us. No one here this morning was a mistake ...read more

    The fifth purpose for our lives is to share the gospel.

    (Note: The title and some of the ideas for this message came from the Rick Warren sermon of the same name.) Today we turn to the fifth and final purpose for our lives, which is to carry out our mission in the world. Now, as we saw last week, we each have a ministry to other believers, to those in ...read more

    Giving Thanks

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 24, 2002
    based on 70 ratings
     | 9,068 views

    The key to a distinctively Christian Thanksgiving celebration is giving thanks for the right things.

    This morning, I’d like to begin with a question. Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday? The word "holiday," after all, comes from the phrase "holy day". And so, is Thanksgiving a holy day for those who serve and worship Jesus Christ? Does the twenty-eighth of November have any special spiritual ...read more

    Waiting On God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 1, 2002
    based on 100 ratings
     | 8,750 views

    Advent reminds us that people have always waited on God. And so will we. Why? Because waiting plays an important role in our spiritual growth.

    Today is the first Sunday in the season of the Christian year called Advent. The word "Advent" simply means arrival, or coming, and so during the next four weeks we will be celebrating the arrival of Christ. During Advent, we look back at the time when God became an infant child, born in a stable ...read more

    The Powerless People Of God?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 108 ratings
     | 3,829 views

    Jesus’ first advent, as a helpless infant born to peasants, confounds our false notions of power.

    Today is the second Sunday of Advent, the time of the Christian year in which we celebrate the birth of Christ and look forward to His return. During this season we remember the first coming of our Savior, and also anticipate His second coming. Now, let me begin by asking you a question: why do we ...read more

    Rejoice Anyway!

    based on 84 ratings
     | 4,868 views

    Is your Christmas turning out to be less than ideal? So was the first one. Rejoice anyway!

    The Christmas season is a time of celebration, a time of rejoicing. As the song tells us, "It’s the most wonderful time of the year!" And there are dozens more where that came from, Christmas songs exhorting us to rejoice and be of good cheer; songs like "Good Christian Men, Rejoice!" and, "We Wish ...read more

    It Will Be Worth It All

    based on 71 ratings
     | 8,150 views

    The joy of Christmas morning fades, but the joy of Christ’s second Advent will never diminish.

    This week, I read an article in USA Today, in which various celebrities were asked to name their most memorable Christmas present. These were A-list celebrities; people with money and fame; people who can have pretty much anything they want. Catherine Zeta-Jones, for example. You may know her as ...read more

    Commitment

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 19, 2001
    based on 195 ratings
     | 44,227 views

    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

    Courage

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 26, 2001
    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,972 views

    Courage is critically important, because it is at the center of all the other Christian virtues. What convictions undergird and strengthen our courage?

    This morning, I’d like us to consider the topic of "courage". Not merely courage in a general sense, as an admirable character quality, or as a moral virtue that we should seek to cultivate. But specifically, as an aspect of Christian faith. I’d like for us to consider what part courage plays in ...read more

    God's Love Is Personal

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Sep 2, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 8,640 views

    What does it mean to say that God’s love is "personal"? What difference does it make?

    Most people would agree, I think, that our society is becoming increasingly impersonal. More and more of the daily activities that used to involve contact with another human being are being automated. For instance, some of us are old enough to remember the days before telephone answering machines ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,460 views

    God loves us as we are, but He also loves us too much to leave us that way.

    When you hear the phrase, "God loves you," what kind of picture does it conjure up in your mind? Specifically, what image of God do you envision when you hear someone say that God loves you? Perhaps you think of a kindly old grandfather, smiling down on you benevolently from heaven. Someone who’s ...read more

    Time To Pass The Gravy-Serving Others At The Holidays Series

    Part of the Christmas Wonder PowerPak.

    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

    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,054 views

    As our country makes war on terror, we need to be reminded that God’s love will prevail.

    What an extraordinary week this has been. What a horrifying, sad, frightening, exhausting week this has been. By now, you all know the tragic story: terrorists hijacking four commercial airliners and flying three of them into buildings filled with tens of thousands of people. You’ve seen the ...read more

    based on 96 ratings
     | 3,705 views

    Fear is never God’s will for His people. But how can we avoid it?

    It’s now been a week and a half since the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, and all over America, life is returning to normal – even as we realize that our definition of "normal" will have to change. The airlines are flying again, even if the planes aren’t very full. The stock market is ...read more
