    The third purpose of our lives is to become like Christ.

    Note: This message draws heavily on the outline and ideas in Rick Warren’s sermon of the same name, in the Purpose Driven Life series. This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life". We began by establishing that God made us for a reason, every one of us. No one here ...read more

    (Note: The title, and some of the ideas for this message came from Rick Warren’s sermon of the same name.) This morning, we continue our series of messages on "The Purpose Driven Life".

    (Note: The title and some of the ideas for this message came from the Rick Warren sermon of the same name.) Today we turn to the fifth and final purpose for our lives, which is to carry out our mission in the world.

  • Giving Thanks

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Nov 24, 2002
    based on 70 ratings
     | 9,061 views

    The key to a distinctively Christian Thanksgiving celebration is giving thanks for the right things.

    This morning, I’d like to begin with a question. Is Thanksgiving a Christian holiday? The word "holiday," after all, comes from the phrase "holy day". And so, is Thanksgiving a holy day for those who serve and worship Jesus Christ? Does the twenty-eighth of November have any special spiritual ...read more

  • Waiting On God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 1, 2002
    based on 100 ratings
     | 8,749 views

    Advent reminds us that people have always waited on God. And so will we. Why? Because waiting plays an important role in our spiritual growth.

    Today is the first Sunday in the season of the Christian year called Advent. The word "Advent" simply means arrival, or coming, and so during the next four weeks we will be celebrating the arrival of Christ. During Advent, we look back at the time when God became an infant child, born in a stable ...read more

  • The Powerless People Of God?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 108 ratings
     | 3,828 views

    Jesus’ first advent, as a helpless infant born to peasants, confounds our false notions of power.

    Today is the second Sunday of Advent, the time of the Christian year in which we celebrate the birth of Christ and look forward to His return. During this season we remember the first coming of our Savior, and also anticipate His second coming. Now, let me begin by asking you a question: why do we ...read more

  • Rejoice Anyway!

    based on 84 ratings
     | 4,864 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
     | 8,149 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

  • Running The Race

    based on 164 ratings
     | 33,514 views

    A sermon on running the race of life, using the Tour De France and the life of Lance Armstrong as illustrations.

    Today’s message is entitled "Running The Race." This morning, we’re going to see from the Scriptures that all of life is a race to be run. Now, I realize that you may not feel much like running, at eleven o’clock on a Sunday morning in July. In fact, you may not ever feel much like running. But ...read more

  • Why Am I So Tired?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 28, 2002
    based on 84 ratings
     | 17,916 views

    The dangers, causes, and cures of fatigue and weariness.

    This morning, I want to ask you a question. Here it is: "Why am I so tired all the time?" Not me personally, but all of us. Because we all experience fatigue and weariness. We may know them as occasional visitors, or as constant and unwelcome companions, but every one of us has made their ...read more

  • Hope In The Darkness

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Aug 5, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 17,763 views

    A sermon on hope, using the rescue of the nine coal miners in Pennsylvania as the central illustration.

    This morning, I’d like to consider the topic of "hope". Is hope important? Is it something we need? Is it essential to our happiness, essential even to our survival? For an answer to that question, we could probably talk to the nine coal miners who were rescued this week in Pennsylvania. They spent ...read more

  • Arrows In The Hands Of A Warrior

    Contributed by Alan Smith on Aug 9, 2002
    based on 67 ratings
     | 45,893 views

    Part of raising our children is learning to let them go.

    “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.” (Psalm ...read more

  • The Extravagance Of Love

    Contributed by Alan Smith on Aug 9, 2002
    based on 324 ratings
     | 83,842 views

    If our love the great enoough, then there will be a willingness to sacrifice the very best we have.

    Introduction: Unbelievers have always had a hard time figuring out the lifestyle of Christ’s disciples. When you think about it, you can understand their difficulty. They are guided by a life philosophy that promotes selfishness (the attitude that says, “You’ve gotta look out for ‘Number One’”), ...read more

    God has called us to be saints and to live lives of holiness.

    Introduction: There’s a story about two brothers who had terrorized the small town where they lived for decades. They were unfaithful to their wives, abusive to their children, and dishonest in business. They were loud, boisterous and just plain rude to nearly everyone. One day, out of the clear ...read more

    We are to get rid of childish traits while maintaining certain other childlike qualities.

    Introduction: You probably have heard that tonight is the start of our Vacation Bible School. Everyone has been working hard to get ready, and you can see the results of their work in the halls and in the classrooms. We would like to keep the children out of the classrooms, but if you adults ...read more
