    My concern is that we may become so overwhelmed by the noise of Christmas that we’ll never hear the sounds of that first Christmas night which we really ought to hear.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) Let me begin this message by reading aloud what should be a very familiar passage of scripture. It is Luke 2:1-7. “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This ...read more

    Abel and Enoch were unusual choices for the first representatives of God’s parade of faith. Why did God use them and what does this tell us about faith?

    OPEN: In college, Ken Davis (a popular youth speaker) was asked to prepare a lesson to teach his speech class. They were to be graded on their creativity and ability to drive home a point in a memorable way. The title of his talk was, "The Law of the Pendulum." He spent 20 minutes carefully ...read more

    Are you persecuted? If you seek to fit in with the world, probably not. But if you make a stand with Jesus - watch out!

    Today we begin the second letter to the Thessalonians. This letter was written just weeks after the first letter. In that letter, Paul wrote about Jesus’ return to encourage them and to answer two questions about it. 1. What will happen to those that die before Jesus returns? 2. When will Jesus ...read more

    I don’t want to preach to you about tithing. I want to encourage you to live a generous life! Jesus said more about money than anything else.

    A minister was speaking about all the things money can’t buy. “Money can’t buy happiness, it can’t buy laughter and money can’t buy love” he told the congregation. Driving his point home he said, “What would you do if I offered you $1,000 not to love your mother and father?” A hush fell over the ...read more

    The religious leaders were selective about which laws to follow and which ones to ignore or defy. We are too. The point of this is to expose our own double-standards and lead us to show mercy to others.

    John 19:31-37 – Picky Picky Belief Tonight, in our last message of The Life of Jesus before Resurrection Day, I’d like to point out an interesting characteristic about the religious leaders that really bears hearing. Just to let you know: likely something I say tonight might make you angry. ...read more

    We need to understand we are influencing people about God and we need to have a heart like Joshua towards God.

    Until Wednesday afternoon this past week, I really had no idea what God wanted us to focus on this morning, which is pretty rare. It doesn’t take but a few minutes around me to realize that normally I am planned and organized way in advance. When I gave out the Youth Ministry calendars in ...read more
