    Why We Need The Church

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 10,057 views

    A sermon reminding us how much we need the church to enhance our growth for the Lord and to enhance the harvest for His kingdom.

    There is a golf course in Phoenix, Arizona. They cater to you as if you were a king. It is not open to just anyone, though. Before you can play that course, you have to become a member. There is a big store in Tulsa called SAM’S CLUB that has just about everything you can desire, and it is all ...read more

    Having Peace Of Mind

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 11, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,886 views

    We discuss how we can have true peace of mind by following 5 simple principles: none of which are found in the world.

    Most people have anything but true peace of mind. That seems to be one of those things we all search for, but never really find, right? I heard an advertisement that said if you purchased their product, you could have total peace of mind, because if it didn’t work, you would get your money back. ...read more

    We Are Soldiers For Christ

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,182 views

    Make no mistake - we are soldiers for Christ. As soldiers, we have a duty to do what He has told us to do: Love & pray for our enemies - including those of the Islamic faith.

    It is fitting that we start this sermon by coming to an understanding of just who we are. Put in its simplest terms, we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. No Christian should ever doubt that. And, as soldiers, we must have certain knowledge and perform certain duties. 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 states, ‘Endure ...read more

    He Still Can & He Still Will!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,473 views

    We rely on ourselves for everything - to the exclusion of God. It shocks us when we come to the reality that God not only is still "able" to help us .... but that He still "wants" to help us!

    Now, first let me tell you that I used to be a very faithful viewer to the original Mickey Mouse Club. I used to watch it every day. I knew all of them by name and I really enjoyed that program. Of course, I was only about 8 years old at the time, too. Have you ever heard the expression, ...read more

    Are You Unworthy?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 1, 2005
    based on 232 ratings
     | 65,629 views

    Using Zacchaeus as an example, this sermon shows that no matter what our past, we are lovingly accepted by Jesus Christ as His own. Sermon based upon a sermon by Lee Stroebel.

    One of your greatest needs in life is to feel valuable; that your life matters; and that you are worthwhile. Because of this, you’ll find yourself looking around and comparing yourself to other people. In our society we tend to base our self-worth on four things: 1 - We judge our worth first ...read more

    How To Impress God

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 2, 2005
    based on 178 ratings
     | 51,513 views

    We can only impress God when we finally realize that we have nothing in life aside from Christ within us. That is how we manage to impress God - not with our pride, but with our humble honesty.

    There was a very lost, wicked, and rebellious man who decided it would be good for business if he went down to the church and joined it. He was an adulterer, an alcoholic, and had never been a member of a church in his life. But when he went down to place membership, he gave public testimony to ...read more

    Belief + Trust + Faith

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 17 ratings
     | 11,698 views

    Just knowing about Jesus will not benefit us. We must know Him. This sermon explains that to know Him we must have belief, trust, and faith.

    How much do we really know about God? How much do we think we need to know? One morning, right after school had started, the teachers were called into the teacher’s lounge for a quick meeting. This left all the classrooms empty. Mr. Miles knew that he had an especially unruly class, so he ...read more

    Praise & Worship

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 1, 2004
    based on 48 ratings
     | 21,135 views

    Many Christians do not fully understand what proper praise and worship are, and they do not realize the utmost importance of praise and worship. This sermon will cast light upon what real praise and worship are, what it means and how it benefits us and G

    Please turn to PSALM 73:27, 28 as we read God’s Word. ‘Those who are far from You will perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all Your deeds.’ I want to talk to you this morning about ...read more

    Looking Both Ways

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 27, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,996 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

    State-of-the-Church Message, showing what the church did last year, and what it should be doing this coming year. (Deals with change) Read the last paragraph - - 53 responded to invitation to covenant change in the church!

    Can you believe 2005 is over already? It doesn’t seem possible that it has been ten months since God led Diana and I from our church in Arizona to this church in Oklahoma. So many wonderful things have happened to us and to this church during this time that we are left with nothing but ...read more

    Revival Through Giving

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 4, 2006
    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,255 views

    The 4 elements (strands) that make up the chord that gives us revival within our churches and in our hearts are - Giving - Prayer - Fasting- Communion

    I am going to dedicate 2006 to doing everything I can do to allow revival in this church and within the church body. It won’t be any old revival, either. It will be a revival for our Lord, Jesus Christ, and it will reach out into our community to do things this church has never seen before! But ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 7, 2006
    based on 59 ratings
     | 5,750 views

    Short message delivered after a service of praise & worship through music.

    Let’s talk for just a minute on singing the songs of praise and worship. 1. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SONGS There is a very big difference between singing praises and singing praises with a heart that yearns to have more of God’s glory. People have always congregated in groups to ...read more

    Revival Through Prayer

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 71 ratings
     | 16,668 views

    The 2nd in a series of building revival. This concerns importance of persistent prayer - in a life and in a church.

    Thank you, Lesley, for addressing us on such an important and Godly topic as prayer. And I thank you for being open enough to the Lord to have Him lay this upon your heart, and then your loving Him enough to act upon it. Last week, I talked about our need to focus on church growth through revival ...read more

    On The Verge Of A Miracle

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 22, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 7,573 views

    We are on the verge of receiving God’s blessings and miracles in our lives, but there is something we must do first.

    Please turn to the fourth book of the New Testament, JOHN 5:1-9. That will be our main text for today. ‘Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. Now there is, in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate, a pool which in Aramaic is called Bethesda, and which is surrounded by five ...read more

    Your Purpose & Value

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 26, 2006
    based on 79 ratings
     | 34,796 views

    This sermon explains why God put us here, what our purpose is, and what value God puts on our lives.

    Why are we here? Is there a reason we are sitting here this morning, in the house of God? What would be our purpose as a Christian? We have touched upon it before, and I think all of us have wondered at one time or another just what our purpose is. I think the two most asked questions about our ...read more
