     | 4,780 views

    In this section of James we learn that trials require wisdom, wisdom requires prayer, and prayer requires faith.

    A. One day a man was driving down a country road when his car sputtered to a complete stop near a field with a few cows in it. 1. The driver got out of his car and lifted the hood to see what was the matter. 2. Then he noticed that one of the cows had come over to the fence nearby, and suddenly ...read more

    A Short teaching on being Overshadowed by the Holy Spirit

    Overshadowed When we think about a shadow, we generally think of something dark and sinister just lurking outside our sight, and it fills us with fear. The idea or the link between shadows and fear is seen in the statement made where a person is afraid of their own shadow. We see such fear when ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Come? Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 13, 2024
     | 955 views

    Luke 19:1-10 shows us that the reason Jesus came was to seek and to save the lost.

    Introduction A few years ago, I sat in on the Chapel Service for the four-year-olds of our New Tampa Christian Academy preschool. The teacher asked the children, “What is Christmas all about?” With one voice, they loudly chorused, “Santa Claus!” The teacher quickly helped the children ...read more

    Why I Need A Purpose Series

     | 5,012 views

    Focusing on me will never reveal the truth about the purpose of my life. My Theology Professor at SWBTS told us….you cannot begin with man. You must begin your search for God with God.

    Joke: Two men were seated next to each other as they were flying across the US, along with each of their sons. During the flight, they became acquainted and were discussing their respective occupations (something men tend to talk about). One man was an evolutionary biologist at a major university. ...read more

    Why So Long In Slavery? Series

    based on 30 ratings
     | 29,665 views

    Why did God allow Israel to even be in slavery? And why did He allow it for so long? The answers to these questions tell us much about the chains God would free us from in our lives.

    (Props – 10 foot length of ¼ inch chain; a cross on stage that can handle the weight of the chain) OPEN: I once read the story of a marketplace in northern India where people brought their wares to trade and sell. One old farmer brought in a whole covey of quail that he caught. He hoped to ...read more

    Why We Preach On Giving

     | 2,833 views

    Why is it so hard for pastors to preach about giving? Why is it so hard for church members to hear about giving? Here are 3 reasons why preachers should NOT apologize for a sermon on giving - from a layperson!

    What is On Your Mind? One of the most intriguing challenges for anyone who steps behind one of these (pulpits) is trying to figure out what¡¦s going on in your minds. What are you thinking as we speak? It¡¦s not always easy to read. But there is one time where it¡¦s really not all that hard to ...read more

    Message discusses what this practice is about and who is invited to the Lord’s Table, particularly from a Weslyean perspective.

    (Thanks to Bob Hostetler for ideas for this message. I’ve added a Methodist twist to the message. Powerpoint and audience outline available). A little girl asked her mother, “Mommy, why do you cut the ends off the meat before you cook it?” The girl’s mother told her that she thought it added ...read more

     | 5,530 views

    Since we need to talk about the Passion film with our friends, we have to be prepared to answer their questions. It’s a mystery to non-believers: Why did Christ have to suffer so? Why did He have to die?

    Sarcastic reviews. Late night jokes. Hateful criticism. Promises to ban him from work in Hollywood. Mel Gibson has faced all that and more over the last year. All because of the making of The Passion of the Christ. Why all the controversy? The brutality? R-rated slasher movies come out ...read more

     | 13,831 views

    The Day of Pentecost matters to us: 1. Because it was a new dispensation in God's plan (vs. 1-4). 2. Because it was a great demonstration of God's power (vs. 2-11). 3. Because it was a bold declaration of God's pardon (vs. 11-21).

    Why Pentecost Matters to Us Acts 2:1-21 (Initial reading: vs. 1-4) Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - May 26, 2013 *Some days seem to matter a whole lot more than others: June 6, 1944 -- The D-Day invasion in Normandy.

    Funeral sermon for those who seek to ask the infimous question "why?".

    I have the distinct privilege to take part in this occasion that honors the life of Uncle John. Upon hearing the news of Uncle John, Aunt Sue called me and asked me to do the funeral, and of course I said, “yes.” So on this past Monday I went to Aunt Janie’s house and talked with her.

    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more

    Year C. Eight Sunday after Pentecost July 29, 2001 Genesis 18:20-32 Title: “We grow in intimacy with God by asking Him questions.” In verses eleven to fifteen we have the scene of Sarah’s laughing at the very idea, God’s questioning her about her doubts and Sarah’s denial she laughed at all.
