    When God Is Silent

    Contributed by David Scudder on Mar 15, 2009

     | 12,420 views

    Has anyone ever asked you how you were doing and you said, “I’m fine” when you didn’t mean it? I know I have. Today we may say “I’m fine” but honestly that may not be the case. The author of Psalm 130 was willing to admit that things were not fine.

    Purpose: To show how God gives peace in a difficult circumstance. Aim: I want the listener to trust God’s love when life is hard. INTRODUCTION: Has anyone ever asked you how you were doing and you said, "I’m fine" when you didn’t mean it? I know I have. A farmer named Joe made that mistake ...read more

    Paul charged Timothy to preach the word of God as knowledge of it is vital to overcoming a hostile environment(3:15-17). Pastors must prioritize the faithful preaching of God’s revealed word but why? 5 incentives prioritizing the preaching of God’s word.

    The PRIORITY of PREACHING-II—2Timothy 4:1-8 Attention: Preaching is a standardized & major part of the livelihood of a church. It is vital to the worship experience. It is necessary to alignment with Bible Study. It calls the hearer to action. It draws the hearer closer to God. But is it only ...read more

    Why Bethlehem - it was God’s plan and arrangement – He set everything in motion for it to happen right there in that town, in those conditions – it was in God’s eyes a perfect birth for the King of Kings. It was not a mistake or bad luck on the part of Ma

    No, I didn't actually tear up a Bible, but my audience didn't know that. Find out why I pretended to do that, and what that means to those who actually do tear pages from Scripture.

    Last week I said that we’re going to make one statement over and over throughout this series: We don’t have to APOLOGIZE for our faith. We don’t need to rally to God defense. Our God is bigger than we are – and doesn’t really need our help. But in spite of that… God calls us to contend for the ...read more

    Experiencing The Holy Spirit

    Life demands an energy from you that is not IN you. We call this “burn out.” In order to truly navigate all that life throws at you, you need a power not from within you but from the outside. This is why you need the outside power of the Holy Spirit.

    I invite you to turn to Acts 2 as we return back to our study in Acts after some time away. This morning, I want to speak to you about “Experiencing on the Holy Spirit.” To begin 2018, we are going to focus on the Holy Spirit. Yet, many of us think of God the Father and we speak of Jesus Christ ...read more

    What is the connection between the Creche and the Cross... between Christ’s birth and his death. Andy why do we have to talk about Christ’s death at the time of his birth? (This sermon was preached in parts with Jason Lundy doing Part II)

    Do We Really Need Each Other?

     | 2,512 views

    When I'm not doing well, it is often because I am going it alone. I don't always let others in. I forget to ask for help; I keep my problems to myself. And though I may not see it, others around me might be doing the same thing.

    Do We Really Need Each Other? Text: James 5:14-16 Many living things need each other to survive. I have lived for most of my life near trees known as Colorado aspens. If you are familiar with this tree, you may have noticed that it does not grow alone. Aspens are found in clusters, or groves. ...read more

    As David looked up at the vastness of God’s universe, feeling his own smallness, he asks God, “What is man that you are mindful of him?" – that You care about him?” Today I want to focus on the first part of that question: What is man? Who am I?

    No Mountain Too High For God SermonCentral

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,110 views

    In the book of Genesis, we are asked if there is anything too hard for the Lord. Jeremiah provides us with the answer in Jeremiah 32:17, affirming that there is nothing too hard for Him! Our faith can often be tested, especially when we face towering challenges. However, we must remember that no mountain is too high for God.

    Introduction: In the book of Genesis, the question is asked, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" In Jeremiah 32:17, we find the answer that there is nothing too hard for God. Our faith is often tested when we face seemingly insurmountable obstacles, but we can trust that God will give us victory ...read more

    Looking A Little Bit Crazy

    To some outsiders, it must look a little bit crazy. Cause all you talk about is God and Church. Why are you always trying to invite me to church? What's up with all of these stage lights, bands and video screens?

    Looking A Little Bit Crazy Mark 3:20-30 There was a photocopied sign that was posted inside a church office. It was one of those humorous slogans that people in different offices duplicate and pass among themselves. Most of us have seen this particular message, I suppose, but posted in a ...read more

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    Beyond Blame

    Contributed by Sylvan Finger on Jun 12, 2024
     | 665 views

    Adam and Eve hide from God and blame everyone but themselves. The religious leaders call Jesus anything but good. Why the mix-up of good and evil? But in the midst of all the confusion, God comes to us and leads us to what is right and good and graciously provides rescue.

    Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Now have you ever had a difficult time identifying what is good and what is bad?
