     | 7,208 views

    One dominant reason underlying the increasing reluctance of Christians to share their faith with non-Christians pertains to the faith sharing experience itself. In asking Christians about their witnessing activities, we have found that nine out of ten ind

    The God-Enhanced Heart Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 18, 2003
    based on 55 ratings
     | 6,655 views

    We receive from the Lord a God-enhanced heart. God takes what we are like and enhances it - some to destruction, like Pharoah, some to incredible compassion and mercy, like Moses. What kind of heart do you have?

    Remember Steve Austin – the Six Million Dollar Man? “We have the technology; we can rebuild him – faster, stronger, and a better actor!” Well maybe that last part was beyond the technology of the time – but that fictional story involved giving a man enhanced body parts to make him better than he ...read more

     | 9,625 views

    If you are not living a totally blessed life it may be because you are not fully obeying God’s commands to honor your parents. If you feel that you may be one of these, forgiveness, grace and strength is yours for the asking.

    Honor Your Father and Your Mother Some of us have a harder time feeling like honoring our parents because of past and present abuses. Yet, God did not make a mistake in giving us the parents we have. Evidence of that is giving by the truth in Psalm 139: "You made all the delicate, inner ...read more

     | 5,257 views

    Distractions are often times intentional. They are created in order to get you to focus on the unimportant in order to prevent you from seeing what is really important. Can that happen at Christmas time? Do you really have to ask???

    John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. “Whoever believes in Him is ...read more

    Letters From The Enemy

    Contributed by J. Martin on Feb 27, 2005
    based on 91 ratings
     | 18,863 views

    The Bible teaches about an instance in which king Hezekiah received a letter from Sennacherib, king of Assyria and his most determined enemy. Sennacherib ordered complete surrender, but not without first diplaying his military prowess and personal pride.

    Letters can be wonderful! Especially when we receive them from a loved one. A son whose far away fighting in a war; a father or mother who writes to tells us the illness has passed; a sister who informs us the baby has finally arrived. But there are also those letters that we would never like to ...read more

    From Stinging To Singing

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 16, 2025
     | 847 views

    Paul tells to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly. The Word routinely "stings" us with conviction, but if it's received, it produces joy and singing. Let's go from stinging to singing!

    FROM STINGING TO SINGING Col. 3:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Stick to the Word 1. A wino boarded a bus and sat next to a Nun. His hair was mussed up, his clothes were wrinkled, and his breathe wreaked of alcohol. He opened a newspaper and proceeded to read. 2. Presently he turned to the Nun and ...read more

    WE BELIEVE that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of new birth. Spirit baptism gives believers power to live and serve God and gifts to fulfill the mission of the Church...

    Monday morning is often a time when pastors do an autopsy of the weekend's sermon/s. Sometimes as we talk with other pastors on the phone the question is asked - how's your services? But what is it that constitutes a great Sunday service?

    Bunbury Sun am 21/08/2011 “A Great Sunday service” Intro: What are the components of a great Sunday service? Pastors have a bit of a tradition of the Monday morning autopsy. How was Sunday services? Great ….. I preached on …… 2 saved, everyone came to church! Let ...read more

    based on 57 ratings
     | 5,775 views

    When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." (Matt. 9:10-12)

    How Jesus Exercised Discerning Judgments People often misunderstand one statement that Jesus made, "Judge not less you be judged yourself." (Matthew 7:1) Actually, Jesus taught that no one should try to play God by assuming a position as the final judge of what is right. The Lord showed amazing ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 12,464 views

    This is an invitation to Christ, putting aside our human reasoning and misconceptions that we are Christians by our actions, and putting it to the Truth, that only admitting our sins, asking forgiveness, and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ can save us.

    AM I REALLY SAVED? HOW DO I KNOW 1 John 1:9 I’m going to ask you to do something here in a moment. So get ready. I hear about being saved, what does it mean?

     | 6,543 views

    Easter 6: We are so good at picking sides - at finding reasons to finding reasons to choose reasons for thinking that we are better than others. The lessons of the early church drive us to question this and to ask: For whom is Easter?

    A few years ago some friends from this part of the state visited us when we lived in San Antonio. We took them to lunch at a popular restaurant in San Antonio and there saw a bunch of people wearing “Go, Spurs, Go” t-shirts.

    Illustrated sermon, drama appended to sermon. A message about the need to remove garbage and how ancient Jerusalem had people for that task. It is a nasty dirty job, that Jesus did for us. Message and drama were very well received.
