    based on 137 ratings
     | 22,053 views

    This sermon deals with what Mary may not have understood about the birth of Christ. This sermon also begins our Christmas season.

    The Christmas story is well known to almost everybody in America, whether they claim to be Christian, atheist, or of some other belief. There was a woman named Mary who became pregnant, without the assistance of a human man, and she gave birth to a baby whom she named Jesus. And the story is ...read more

    based on 99 ratings
     | 4,805 views

    A sermon about the blessing of Christ - to go along with our Bethlehem Candle Service- 2nd week of Advent.

    Every year in Mesa, Arizona, the Mormon Temple puts on their Christmas display. It is a fantastic sight to see! There must be millions of lights, and the sight of those displays is truly awesome. If you want to go see them, you will spend at least a half hour looking for a place to park, and ...read more

    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,259 views

    A sermon that shows all of us have a little King Herod in us, but Christ brings a sword to put that nature to death so a new nature can rise up.

    To many of us, we are the center of our own universe, aren’t we? To many of us, we are the only one who counts. And, too many of us think that God is our co-pilot. Let me start by saying that if God is your co-pilot, you had better change places with Him as quickly as you can. In MATTHEW ...read more

    For The Love Of Christ

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 7, 2005
    based on 134 ratings
     | 7,709 views

    A sermon that reminds us to keep our focus on the destination: The eternal life in worshiping the Lord in Heaven.

    We have all heard that Jesus is coming back. That should be the best news we will ever hear, but for many Christians, it is just a story. A story from a book that is more like fantasy than reality. A story they hear, but do not really believe. And because they do not believe it, they have missed ...read more

    What Beautiful Feet You Have!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,182 views

    This sermon discusses the difference between what God thinks about evangelism and what modern day Christians think about it.

    Do you remember the excitement you felt when it was time for you to get your driver’s license? You could barely wait to get behind the wheel and take off, right? But, before you could do that, there was something you needed to do. Do you remember what that was? You had to learn to ...read more

    A Nation Remembers

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on May 29, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,234 views

    This sermon details the cause of America’s distance from God - all in a context of remembering: the fallen soldiers; our Godly forefathers, and of course, remembering Jesus, our Christ.

    Tomorrow, we will celebrate our nation’s Memorial Day. That is the day we set apart to honor those who have died in the defense of our great nation. Those who gave their all so that we could have it all. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice, so that we might not have to. As we look back into ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 24, 2005
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,098 views

    Evangelism sermon, showing similarities between cowboys and Christians. A very close take-off from the sermon of a friend of mine; Pastor Steve Shepherd of Jonesboro, AR.

    Cowboy Joe was had just come back from going to church for the first time, and was in the bunkhouse telling the other cowhands about his experience. He said, “When I got there, I parked my pick-up in the corral. Charlie, a worldly cowboy said, “That would be the parking lot, Joe.” Joe ...read more

    based on 103 ratings
     | 4,890 views

    A sermon about the offerings God and Satan have for each of us.

    "LET’S MAKE A DEAL!" Who among you remembers the ‘LET’S MAKE A DEAL’ TV show? It was one of the most popular games shows of its day. Contestants were given some really good money or prizes, but along with each gift came a chance to gamble; gamble on turning that gift into much more, or losing ...read more

    The Calvary Will Save You!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 3, 2005
    based on 95 ratings
     | 14,446 views

    A 4-point sermon detailing how God loves us by doing everything from blessing us to rescuing us.

    When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching westerns on TV. It seemed that no matter how much trouble the hero got into, he would always be saved by the Cavalry. Today, as an adult, life sure seems to be full of trouble, too. It seems that no matter what we do, we have trouble of some kind. If it’s not ...read more

    A 2 point sermon inspired by Steve Shepherd’s Commitment series sermons.

    A newspaper journalist was assigned to Jerusalem and when he got there, he decided to get an apartment overlooking the Wailing Wall. After several weeks of watching out over the wall, he realized that every day, the same old Jewish man would come and spend most of the day praying vigorously at ...read more

    Apple Seeds

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2005
    based on 65 ratings
     | 9,547 views

    Anybody can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God knows how many apples are in each seed.

    Have you ever noticed that people need to be around other people? Yet, all too often, what do we do? We tend to build walls around ourselves and keep other people out. We draw lines between us and concentrate more on our differences than our similarities. A man was a witness to another man ...read more

    23rd Psalm - Explained

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2005
    based on 119 ratings
     | 34,354 views

    Sermon referencing David & PSALM 23 to show where our strength, contentment, and security come from.

    We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get to be an adult, or after we are married, have a good job, start a family, etc. Then we get frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough to mind, or be left alone, or old enough to play sports yet. We believe we’ll be more content when they ...read more

    A Marriage Ceremony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 8, 2005
    based on 67 ratings
     | 8,245 views

    A shorter, but Christ-centered, wedding ceremony that I perform for most couples I unite in marriage.

    NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Many ministers prefer to take the opportunity of performing a wedding, and give a full blown sermon. I personally feel that is uncalled for in this situation. I believe that this is the bride and groom’s day, not the preacher’s - so with that in mind, I keep it simple and ...read more

    Psalm 100

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 14, 2005
    based on 75 ratings
     | 20,216 views

    What if God treated us the way we treat Him? Inspired by Melvin Newland.

    One of the most beautiful Psalms of thanksgiving is the 100th PSALM. Listen to the words as I read it. ‘Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know the Lord is god. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, ...read more

    Looking Both Ways

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 27, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,857 views

    We can look back to what God did for us in 2005, or ahead to what He wants to do for us in 2006. We can look both ways, but we can only step out one way ... and that should be in faith.

    Something happened a few hours ago. Something I believe each of us must come to terms with. What was it? The clock struck midnight, and in so doing, we had to say good-bye to one year, but we got to say hello to a brand new year. We go through this each year, but I am not sure just how much ...read more
