    1- We’re on a team, so be a team player. 2- We have a coach, so listen to him. 3- We may get hurt, so what? Play anyway.

    INTRO.- Everyone should have a goal in life. Goals give motivation to our lives whether it’s the game of baseball or the Christian life.

    I Never Saw That Coming

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 2, 2003
    based on 53 ratings
     | 9,133 views

    As a nation we are being blindsided by things that destroy us. Yet if we were to look more carefully and see Jesus at work in all things, we would learn to be wholistic, we would identify with the needy, and we would deal with both the physical and the s

    Have you ever been blindsided? Something happened, but you never even saw it coming? The snow, for instance. After several mild winters, did you think we would be hit by repeated snowstorms? Did you see that coming? I didn’t. I laid out seven super Sundays of sermons on the churches ...read more

    When Curiosity Isn't Enough

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,353 views

    It is not enough to be curious about Christ, keeping your distance or living in the world unequipped. If you are merely curious, come closer and you will grow and mature.

    We have a new puppy at our house. She’s about 11 weeks old. And is she ever curious! She is curious about everything. There is nothing that escapes her attention, and nothing that does not interest her. She has to sniff at the house plants; she pulls at the towels; she tugs at the bedspread ...read more

     | 7,851 views

    If you want to be truly wise, don’t be like those who WON’T SEE, and don’t be like those who CAN’T SEE. Instead, be like those who DO SEE, because they let Jesus touch them, not just once, but as many times as it takes.

    A businessman was late for an important meeting and couldn't find a parking space. As he frantically circled the block, the man got so desperate that he decided to pray. Looking up toward heaven, he said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space, I'll go to church every ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Epps on Sep 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,712 views

    Faith is a reductionism of the greatest kind. For in Jesus, the "extraordinary" is nothing more than the "ordinary" things in life PUT TOGETHER to achieve an "extraordinary" feat.

    Beloved, I would like to engage your hearts and minds for the next few minutes, from the subject, “Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary” Beloved, in his painting “Walking on the Water”, one can nearly hear the rhythmic splashing underneath. One can almost feel the ...read more

     | 2,648 views

    Jesus understands us as we are, but loves us into what we may become. With Peter, he loved the Type A person; with James, the passive-aggressive; with John, the immature -- all into effectiveness. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    History is full of stories of betrayal. Those who look like friends sometimes turn on you. Some of us have friends who would sell us for even less than Judas’ thirty pieces of silver if they could! Personally, I wish I could get at least ten cents on the dollar for everything I have loaned to ...read more

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 18, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,850 views

    This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Luke 7:36-50 A. As most of you realize, during the last 2 weeks I have based my messages on Paul's description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...read more
