    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

    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

     | 9,789 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

  • God's Love Is Holy

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,118 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

  • Portrait Of A Godly Mother

    The humility essential for motherhood is a picture of the humility of Christ.

    Mother’s Day was first officially observed in the United States in 1914. And ever since then, it has been the annual goal of candy makers, greeting card companies, florists, and restaurant owners to persuade you that the best way to show appreciation to your mother on her special day is to spend as ...read more

  • Teach Your Children Well

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 20, 2001
    based on 76 ratings
     | 9,059 views

    The responsibility for training up children belongs with parents.

    I’d like to begin this morning with a story about my lawn. In the two years we’ve lived in Westlake, we’ve noticed that most of the lawns look very nice. And of course, that’s the suburban ideal, isn’t it? Getting away from the city, with all of its concrete, and asphalt, and buildings stacked one ...read more

  • Leadership In The Home

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 29, 2001
    based on 108 ratings
     | 8,930 views

    How the Biblical model of male headship should work, and what it is meant to show us about God.

    This morning, my choice of topics presents me with a difficult task. No one compels me; I willingly undertake it. But it is difficult. Because I know that what I have to say concerning leadership in the home – or rather, what the Scriptures have to say – will likely encounter some resistance. ...read more

  • Submission In The Home

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 3, 2001
    based on 56 ratings
     | 4,198 views

    The Bible sees no contradiction between the equality of men and women before God, and the distinction in roles in marriage.

    Last Sunday, I spoke on the issue of male headship in the home. I mentioned that this was a difficult topic to preach on, because this is an area where our society is so far out of synch with God’s plan. I said that today, those who uphold the Biblical pattern for the home are ridiculed and ...read more

  • A Matter Of The Heart Series

    Belief is not a product of ’signs and wonders’ it is a product of faith.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 23,475 views

    Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Antarctic expedition provides a powerful example of endurance (with applications for the marriage relationship).

    This morning, I’d like to tell you a story. It’s a true story, about an epic journey undertaken in the early part of this century. It’s a tale of great deeds attempted, of great disappointments and failures, and also of great achievements. And it’s a tale of a group of ordinary men who were pushed ...read more

  • Honoring Fathers

    based on 62 ratings
     | 12,471 views

    We honor fathers best by recognizing the critically important work God has given them.

    Father’s Day is a strange holiday. Like Mother’s Day, it’s a civil holiday, established by a Resolution of Congress and by an annual Presidential Proclamation. It was first recognized by Calvin Coolidge in 1924, and this year the President once again named June 15th as Father’s Day. So, ...read more

  • Don't Go Down With The Ship!

    The actions of those on the Titanic who volunarily gave up their seats in the lifeboat to others illustrates the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ for sinners.

    This morning, I’d like to tell you the story of the sinking of the Titanic. At 11:30 p.m., on April 14, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic, the pride of the White Star cruise line sailing on her maiden voyage, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and sank less than 2 1/2 hours later, taking with her ...read more

    For anyone who wants to know God, the church is essential.

    Let’s imagine it’s sometime this afternoon. You’re at home, working in the front yard, and you see a moving van stop a couple of houses down the street. Two men get out of the truck and start unloading furniture. Then you see a minivan pull up to the curb, and a family gets out. You want to be a ...read more

    Christians should have a proper understand of the dynamics of what it feels like for a woman to experience infertility.

    Once upon a time there was a woman named Hannah. Hannah didn’t have any children and she wanted so much to have a child. Hannah found her self in deep sorrow over her infertility. No one seemed to understand her need. In her anguish of being without child Hannah prayed and committed a vow to the ...read more
