    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 30, 2001
    based on 86 ratings
     | 17,116 views

    The hope of the Christian is not that we will never experience grief or sorrow. Our hope and confidence is that when we do, Christ will strengthen and comfort us.

    This is week two of a series of messages on the topic of “seasons” in the Christian life. What’s a season? A season is a period of time, long or short, when our lives tend to be dominated by one particular issue. For instance, last week, we looked at “waiting” as one of these seasons. The purpose ...read more

    As you probably know, it’s now officially Autumn. Along with many of you, I was in southeastern Ohio yesterday for the church’s family retreat at Seneca Lake. It was beautiful there, wasn’t it? The air was crisp and cool, the sun was warm. The leaves were just beginning to turn. It was one of those ...read more

  • God Is Gracious Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2001
    based on 80 ratings
     | 27,340 views

    God’s love toward us is unconditional.

    God is gracious. What does that mean? That God has good manners? That He’s courteous? No. "God’s grace is His free and unmerited favor". Let’s examine that. God’s grace is "unmerited". It is undeserved. It is unearned. It is purely a gift. We receive good things from God, not in response to ...read more

  • God Is Compassionate Series

    based on 50 ratings
     | 7,936 views

    God is compassionate toward us, because he created us, and because Christ became one of us.

    When you picture God, what do you see? What kind of mental picture do you get when you think of God? Do you see God as a kind, jolly old fellow, sort of like Santa Claus or a favorite uncle? Do you see Him wearing a robe and crown, sitting on a throne? Is he holding a lightning bolt, like Zeus, ...read more

    God is sovereign over all things, from the fates of nations to the details of our own lives. Therefore, He is worthy of our trust and confidence.

    For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been looking at some of the attributes of God; trying to better understand what God is like. So far, we’ve considered God’s goodness and His wisdom. This morning we’re going to look at what the Bible has to say about His power. After all, what good would it do us ...read more

    God’s unlimited knowledge and wisdom are greater than ours, and form a basis for faith and hope.

    How many sent children off to school this week? How many for the first time? Here’s a question: Why? [Other than because it’s the law, or to get them out of your hair] What is it you’re hoping they’ll learn there? Math, reading, science, history . . . but is that all? No, of course not. You hope ...read more

  • God Is Good Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 54,635 views

    God is good. He always does what is right, and always acts for the good of those who follow Christ.

    How many of you say grace at meals? At our house, we divide it up by days. So on Monday, I give thanks, on Tuesday, it’s my wife, and so on. That arrangement at least eliminates arguments over whose turn it is to pray, although enthusiasm for the task varies considerably. We don’t have a set ...read more

  • Building Community - Value One Another Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 11,806 views

    As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

    This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 184 ratings
     | 42,146 views

    We need to encourage one another, because encouragement is a powerful tool to help one another persevere in faith.

    Lately, we’ve been discussing what it means for the church to be a community, and how we can build and maintain a sense of community in the church. Why is this topic important? In our country, social bonds have been steadily eroding for the last forty years. People are less connected, less ...read more

  • Building Community - The Importance Of Unity Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 75 ratings
     | 17,549 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

    based on 116 ratings
     | 18,012 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

    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
     | 7,346 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

     | 11,330 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
     | 12,219 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
