    A sermon that shows that Jesus did not procrastinate and neither should we.

    Do It Now! Introduction My wife Clair reckons that in many ways I am like my Dad. I guess in many senses she’s right. I have the same temperament as my Dad, I whistle almost as badly as him and I have a strong sense of family commitment as he had. However there is one trait that I carry that he ...read more

     | 5,453 views

    We can tell others that we love them--that God loves them until we are blue in the face, but they will not understand our speech until it is put into action…until it is tangible…until it awakens in them, an understanding, a craving for what they need most

    Acts 2:1-21 “Speaking the Language of Love” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Recently, I read about an embarrassing incident that took place during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. President Carter made a state visit to Poland, ...read more

     | 4,385 views

    As followers of Jesus, we must argue our case fairly, even when our opponents do not. They do not set our agenda.

    Guilty Until Proven Guilty (Acts 6:8-15) 1. Many changes come to us a step at a time. I came across of illustration of this regarding trapping wild pigs. You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to ...read more

    Spiritual Protection For The Battlefield

     | 77,460 views

    We are engaged in a spiritual war. A serious battle. For the Christian, faith is not spelled "F-A-I-T-H" it is spelled "R-I-S-K." If something is not a risk, then it really does not require faith.

    For Those not Familiar with an Anglican Service there are 4 Scripture readings before the message is given. Today's Scriptures were Deuteronomy 26:1-11 ; Psalm 91:1,2,9-16 ; Romans 10:8-13 and Luke 4:1-13 One gentleman commented, ... "I wouldn't be tempted ... if temptation .... wasn't ... so ...read more

    As we kick off the season of Lent in 2013 we take a look at the 40 days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness and see what this means to us in our lives for Christ today.

    There is a saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” This is the first Sunday of the Lenten Season. Lent is a non-essential. Lent is not a Biblical doctrine nor is it a Scripturally mandated activity. On the other hand it is not sinful nor ...read more

    Moved With Compassion

    Contributed by Clay Ledford on Dec 13, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,726 views

    Three of the greatest words in scripture are "moved with compassion:. What moves you? What moves your needle? Jesus was "moved with compassion" for the lostness of man (Matthew 9), for the needs of man (Matthew 14), and now for an individual who needs a touch and a word.

    Moved with compassion #3 Mark 1:40 – 45. It’s personal. Everybody is motivated/moved by something. What moves you? Money, success, family, friends, politics, love. In this series we’ve looked at two things that “moved” Jesus “with compassion”. In Matthew chapter 9 we found that Jesus was “moved ...read more

    In light of God’s Word, we need to examine how well we are doing in the area not only of providing care for the needy, but of defending their cause and seeing that their voice is heard.

    Isaiah 1:21-26 Purging the Dross 7/9/00 D. Marion Clark Introduction What we come to the Bible for is content. We value the Bible for what it has to reveal to us from God.

    Today we are going to look at another shelter of faith which can help withstand all calamities of life leading a Christian to move forward in God’s will despite the extremity of an existential life.

Experientially it means that faith needs to be sheltered, faith needs to come under the banner of a refuge - so to speak.
