  • The Love Of God Displayed In The Cross

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 31, 2002
    based on 74 ratings
     | 35,922 views

    God’s love is supremely exhibited in the cross of Christ.

    The cross of Christ – by which we mean his suffering, and death, and resurrection – is a topic packed with significance. Without the cross, there would be no Christianity. No forgiveness of sins, no eternal life, no hope for the future, no power for this present life. The cross is more than a ...read more

    based on 69 ratings
     | 22,458 views

    Self righteousness and a critical, judgmental spirit usually go together. Why? Because self righteousness is a zero-sum game.

    Over the next few weeks we’ll be looking at some of the parables of our Lord. A parable is a fictional story told to illustrate a spiritual reality. Jesus told many of them. As a preacher, He knew that what people often remember best about a sermon are the illustrations. He understood that ...read more

  • The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 28, 2002
    based on 75 ratings
     | 31,506 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

     | 36,573 views

    How do we begin the process of personal change?

    If you take one of the bulletins and turn over the flap, you’ll see a list of eight "core values". These core values identify what we’re about as a church. They describe our basic identity, our DNA. And like DNA, which is found in every cell of the body, our intent is that we would see these ...read more

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 30, 2001
    based on 111 ratings
     | 12,126 views

    The need of the hour isn’t for more programs, it’s for more power.

    It is a long-standing custom in our society, when approaching the end of a year, to pause and reflect on the twelve months past. To think about what we’ve attempted, what we’ve achieved, what we’ve lost, what we’ve gained, what we’ve suffered, and hopefully, what we’ve learned from it all. It’s ...read more

    based on 38 ratings

    If we do not merit God’s blessings, then how is it that those who are obedient are more likely to see their prayers answered?

    This morning, we continue our series of messages on prayer. I’ve chosen this topic to begin the year because of its great importance. Prayer is absolutely foundational to the Christian life. It’s basic to our identity as Christians. Prayer is a necessary practice for anyone who wants to know and ...read more
