    This passage contains one of the most tragic but repeated statements in all Scripture: "We will not listen to God..." Why did the Jews say it and how can we avoid the same error in our lives and in our churches?

    OPEN: A young boy, about eight years old, was at the corner "Mom & Pop" grocery store picking out a pretty good size box of laundry detergent. The grocer walked over and, trying to be friendly, asked the boy if he had a lot of laundry to do. "Oh, no laundry," the boy said. "I’m going to wash my ...read more

    UPDATED: For 2007. One thing that can’t be avoided during the Christmas season is the shopping. Here are some practical pointer’s to help out with your shopping. (This sermon ties in the Salvation message with shopping)

    A small boy was writing a letter to God about the Christmas presents he badly wanted. “I’ve been good for six months now,” he wrote. But after a moment’s reflection he crossed out “six months” and wrote “three.” After a pause that was crossed out and he put “two weeks.” There was another pause and ...read more

  • A Forcing Of Sides Series

    Pilate did with Christ what millions do today: he was not against Him, but wanted to avoid the issue. When the pressure came, he had a choice. It is only under pressure that our true convictions surface.

    Note: this is a bulletin insert I put in our bulletins to supplement the sermon; it contains much helpful information, so I have included it here before the sermon. Ed Pilate: A Friend to Caesar or Not? The year was 33 AD. Jesus had been arrested and illegally tried. From a human perspective, ...read more

    God came in a special way during our revival...the tendency is for us to forget about what God did for us (much like the Israelites did)...the best way to avoid that is to be aware of that danger.

    Larry C. Brincefield larkayb@earthlink.net Sunday Morning, February 23, 2003 Monthly Theme: Revival Title: "How Soon We Forget" Text: Psalm 106:10-13 Introduction It’s been 1 1/2 years since the World Trade Center & the Pentagon were attacked by terrorists. in the weeks and months ...read more

  • The Gifts Go On

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Jan 28, 2001
    based on 134 ratings
     | 4,170 views

    We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.

    Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

     | 6,321 views

    In order to avoid the trap of self-indulgence, we need to: 1. Reject the spirit of entitlement and embrace a spirit of gratitude. 2. Reject excess and move toward moderation. 3. Reject the temporal and focus on the eternal.

    Two years ago Morgan Spurlock created a film documentary called Supersize Me, which won several international film awards. It was based on an experiment to see what would happen if he would eat nothing but McDonald’s fast food for one month. He had three rules for this experiment: 1. During the ...read more

  • The Three C's Of Salvation - Part 1 Conviction Series

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 15, 2003
    based on 79 ratings
     | 21,695 views

    Easy believism has permeated our churches. We moved away from talking about three C’s of salvation in an attempt to avoid negativity. True Biblical salvation consists of conviction, confession, and conversion.

    THE THREE C’S OF SALVATION PART I – CONVICTION JOHN 16:7-14 INTRODUCTION: In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s a shift in preaching and evangelism took place that has caused a crisis in Christianity. What has been termed as "easy believism" permeated our churches. We moved away from talking about ...read more

    Easy believism has permeated our churches. We moved away from talking about three C’s of salvation in an attempt to avoid negativity. True Biblical salvation consists of conviction, confession, and conversion.

    THE THREE C’S OF SALVATION PART 2 - CONFESSION Romans 10:8-13 INTRODUCTION: We have stated that the biblical formula for salvation is conviction plus confession plus conversion equals salvation. Simply put the design of true salvation consists of conviction leading to confession followed by ...read more

  • Climbing Higher

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,022 views

    Satan wants to keep us from making progress in our spiritual life. With the Lord’s help, though, we can keep on climbing. To avoid sin’s tragedy, learn Satan’s strategy.

    Opening illustration: Pastor Dale Kurtz laughed so hard that his sides ached. He was watching a frustrated squirrel trying to climb the metal pole supporting a bird feeder. The squirrel repeatedly got part way up, then slowly slid down the pole in a heap. In describing this incident, Kurtz wrote, ...read more

  • The Pattern Of Worship, Part 3: Real Worship Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,664 views

    God is not to be worshipped by turning the church into a carnival. Neither is He to be worshipped by allowing the church to become a crematorium. The only way to avoid that is to worship the way that Jesus tells us to in this passage. He tells us how to w

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ What comes to your mind when you think about heaven? Do you think about clouds and angels and harps? Do you think about a place of perfect peace and contentment? Maybe when you think about heaven, you think about a lost loved one. Maybe you think about a ...read more

     | 4,092 views

    The second sermon in a series on ’Heaven and Earth’ (bringing God’s reign on earth) addressing the issue of how Christians and Churches so often lose their call, power, and settle into ’maintenance mode’- and how this can be avoided.

    Heaven & earth 2: Mission, maintenance or monument? ("they occupied and settled" Josh 13:1-5, 24:31) 1 Collapse 1.1 last week: Adam and Eve, humankind 1.1.1 planted into enemy occupied territory 1.1.2 given commission to ’claim it for the king’ 1.1.3 call is still the same- take territory ...read more

  • Ripe Ritual And Redemptive Righteousness Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,236 views

    Dramatic monologue as if it were from Micah himself, summarizing the entire book around the contrast between practicing ritual in order to avoid judgment vs. living God’s requirements of justice, mercy, and the humble walk.

    [Outside the sanctuary] Justice, O God! Justice! We must have your justice! And righteousness! Without that we are lost! Oh, Lord God, the Temple and the city – what I see there sickens me. That ripe and rotten ritual, those empty gestures, those paid and padded priests! O God, ...read more

    Though so often we start out with such good intentions, things happen in our life to trip us up from serving God. What are those things and how can we avoid them?

    Paul has just gotten finished encouraging us to pursue our relationship with the Lord and our being used by Him in the furtherance of the gospel like we were competing for the Olympic games, or in a boxing match where winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing! It’s a ...read more
