  • Rejoice Anyway!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 15, 2002
    based on 84 ratings
     | 5,509 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

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 22, 2002
    based on 71 ratings
     | 9,472 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

  • Should You Make Resolutions? Yes!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 86 ratings
     | 5,776 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
     | 20,744 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

  • Jesus Christ - Master Military Strategist

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 6, 2003
    based on 64 ratings
     | 6,690 views

    We need to trust Christ’s "war plan", even when it seems the battle is going against us.

    Over the past couple of weeks, since the war in Iraq began, we have been subjected to a barrage of television commentators expressing their views on the conduct of the war. Every channel has their own set of talking heads – retired generals arguing about whether we have enough troops and tanks on ...read more

  • Send Us A Different Messiah!

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 13, 2003
    based on 56 ratings
     | 7,039 views

    The crowds shouting "Hosanna!" soon were shouting "Crucify Him!" What accounts for their sudden change of heart?

    We are assembled here this morning, as millions of other Christians are assembled in other churches all over the world, to commemorate our Lord’s entry into Jerusalem at the close of his earthly ministry, almost two thousand years ago. We share this celebration, not only with our brothers and ...read more

  • From Passover To Easter

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 22, 2003
    based on 87 ratings
     | 11,799 views

    The feast of Passover foreshadowed Easter in several important ways.

    There are many kinds of sermons. One is the kind you hear from ministers on Sunday mornings. Another is what Saint Francis of Assisi was referring to, when he said, "Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words." Saint Francis, who lived in the thirteenth century, understood that those ...read more

  • Spiritual Renewal

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 1, 2003
    based on 119 ratings
     | 56,719 views

    We all need spiritual renewal from time to time. Where does it come from?

    My text this morning comes from the book of Isaiah, chapter forty, verses 28 through 31: "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the ...read more

  • Praying At Midnight

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 10, 2003
    based on 90 ratings
     | 22,815 views

    We must pray as those who are desperate for bread.

    Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to call someone for help in the middle of the night, at a time when you knew they would be fast asleep in bed? Perhaps a medical emergency of some kind – your wife is going into labor, or your husband is having chest pains and you need to drive ...read more

  • Honoring Fathers

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 16, 2003
    based on 60 ratings
     | 17,536 views

    What children owe their fathers. What children need from their fathers.

    Today, as you know, is Father’s Day. It may surprise you to learn that Father’s Day is not a Christian holiday. By that, I mean it’s not recognized as one of the special days of the Christian Year which have been celebrated by the church for centuries, such as Christmas, or Easter, or Pentecost. ...read more

  • Spring Cleaning

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 24, 2003
    based on 98 ratings
     | 40,296 views

    Over time, our lives tend to fill up with the clutter and debris of sin. How to prevent that from happening, and how to conduct "spring cleaning" when it does.

    All physical systems, over time, accumulate debris. It’s an unfortunate fact of life. They get cluttered, and clogged, and congested, and that hinders the operation of the system. Let me give you some random examples. As we age, plaque tends to build up in our veins and arteries, which gradually ...read more

  • Hidden Treasure

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 2, 2002
    based on 154 ratings
     | 24,690 views

    No act of faith or obedience, whether great or small, whether seen or unseen, will go unrewarded.

    This morning, I’d like to address a simple question: Is it worth it? Is the payoff worth the cost, is the potential reward worth the risk? We face that question all the time, for the simple reason that everything has a cost. Nothing is free. Even gifts usually come with some kind of strings ...read more

  • Happy Or Holy?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 9, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,735 views

    Is God’s overriding purpose in our lives to make us happy, or to make us holy?

    What is God’s purpose for your life? Have you ever wondered about that? I’m not referring to questions like, what career should you follow, or whom should you marry, or how many children should you have. I’m talking about the big picture – what is God’s overriding goal, His primary purpose, for the ...read more

  • Telling The Truth

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 16, 2002
    based on 37 ratings
     | 13,204 views

    We can afford to be honest about our flaws and failings, because we are completely loved and accepted in Christ.

    "Most Christians are habitual liars." Let me repeat that: "Most Christians are habitual liars." And quite proficient at it, too. Now, of course we don’t call it lying. And we don’t think of it as lying. In fact, we don’t think of it at all; we just do it, and that’s part of the problem. We’ve ...read more

  • Future Joy

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 23, 2002
    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,440 views

    We find joy by saturating our minds and hearts with the future promises of God.

    This morning, I’d like to talk about joy. How does that statement make you feel? Hopeful? Glad? Or does it arouse feelings of apprehension? Joy is a funny topic. You would expect that people would enjoy hearing about joy; that they would welcome a discourse on such a positive topic. But I’ll bet ...read more
