  • Building Community - Accept One Another Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 77 ratings
     | 11,358 views

    We build community in the church by willingly turning a blind eye to one another’s faults.

    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
     | 6,149 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

  • Rolling With The Punches - Coping With Change

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 3, 2001
    based on 79 ratings
     | 10,483 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
     | 11,302 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

  • Contentment

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 45 ratings
     | 9,991 views

    We can cultivate contentment by giving thanks, by realizing that God withholds no good thing from us, and by seeking that which is eternal.

    Joy is a deep, abiding sense of satisfaction and fulfillment that flows from our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the birthright of every Christian, something purchased for us by Christ, something we all desire and which God desires for us. And yet joy is something which we don’t always ...read more

  • How To Hold On When You Feel Like Giving Up

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 436 ratings
     | 98,228 views

    How do we keep holding on when we feel like giving up? How do we find the strength to persevere, to go on?

    Ever feel like giving up? Ever feel like quitting? Ever feel like your situation is so hopeless that the only thing you can possibly do is leave? Just walk away, head out the door and never come back? In extreme circumstances, people can feel so much emotional pain that they take their own lives. ...read more

  • Jesus - Absolute Victor

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 141 ratings
     | 6,019 views

    Jesus is completely victorious over sin and death

    Are you a winner or a loser? We all want to be winners, don’t we? At the end of the game, we want to be on the side with 14 runs, like the White Sox had last night, instead of the team with 3 runs, like the Indians. Nike had a slogan a couple of years ago that reflected this attitude: "second ...read more

  • God's Indestructible Love

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 21, 2001
    based on 49 ratings
     | 4,966 views

    What in this world is truly indestructible? Only God’s love.

    Over the past few weeks, we’ve been reminded, in a shocking and brutal way, that nothing in this world is indestructible. For over two decades, the twin towers of the World Trade Center stood watch over New York City, monuments to man’s skill, and energy, and intelligence. Everyone assumed they ...read more

  • A Hope For All Seasons

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 28, 2001
    based on 66 ratings
     | 10,486 views

    True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

    As a pastor, one of the things I’m called upon to do is to comfort those who are going through difficult circumstances. At times of suffering or crisis, people typically look to the minister for support and encouragement. And so, when tragedy strikes, or the storms of life become overwhelming, or ...read more

  • Hope And Pray

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 4, 2001
    based on 47 ratings
     | 5,882 views

    Walking in hope means allowing our vision of the life to come to permeate our daily life here and now. How do we do this?

    This morning, I’d like to continue looking at the topic of "hope" which we began last week. Let’s begin with the basics. Hope is a function of two things: First, it arises from the fact that we have desires, that we prefer some things over others. Otherwise, we would be completely indifferent to ...read more

  • What On Earth Am I Here For? Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 28, 2002
    based on 55 ratings
     | 8,488 views

    It’s not about us. God’s purposes are paramount.

    Note: This topic and some of the ideas come from Rick Warren’s "40 Days of Purpose" campaign. [Clip: "Everybody Loves Raymond," excerpted from episode 119, "Talk To Your Daughter". Note: this episode is one of four included in a "For Your Consideration" DVD/VHS package that was prepared for the ...read more

    The first purpose of our lives is to worship God.

    Note: This topic and some of the ideas come from Rick Warren’s "40 Days of Purpose" campaign. This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life".

    The second purpose of our lives is to love one another.

    Note: This topic and some of the ideas come from Rick Warren’s "40 Days of Purpose" campaign. This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life". So far, we’ve seen that God made us for a reason. He had a purpose in creating us. Life was not an accident; the human race ...read more

  • Entertaining Angels (Hospitality)

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 6, 2003
    based on 116 ratings
     | 20,511 views

    Hospitality isn’t just an admirable social skill; It’s essential for anyone who follows Christ. When we show kindness to outsiders, we reflect the character of God.

    This morning, I’d like to talk about hospitality. Now, I realize that, being the Fourth of July weekend, you might have been expecting a sermon on a patriotic theme, something like "freedom", or "sacrifice", or "the faith of our founding fathers". So, to connect my topic with the holiday, I’ll ...read more

  • Will This Be The Year?

    Contributed by Alan Smith on Apr 20, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,919 views

    As this year begins, I can’t help but wonder, “Could this be the year that Jesus Christ returns?”

    I want to begin the lesson this morning by wishing a “Happy New Year” to each and every one of you! I sincerely hope the year we have just started will be the best ever in your life. And my particular wish for each of you is that this will be the year in which you are more open to God’s presence, ...read more
