    Who Stole Christmas?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 11, 2006
    based on 55 ratings
     | 22,811 views

    We need to put our focus on Jesus at this time of year, and to help others do the same; by sharing the Lord with them; by loving them; and by actually leading them to Christ just as someone else led us to Christ.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It is a time that we look forward to with joy in our hearts and eagerly anticipate what is about to happen. And, it was meant for us to feel that way. But, in the last few years, something terrible has happened. Somebody has stolen Christmas! Not only ...read more

    The Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 17, 2006
    based on 54 ratings
     | 22,758 views

    This sermon depicts the true meaning of what Christmas really is; through God’s forgiveness; His help in our storms; and the hope He gives us for our future.

    Last week, I talked about how Christmas is a time of love. God loved us enough to send His Son to be our sacrifice. Jesus loved us enough to be that sacrifice. And now, God wants us to love Jesus enough to sacrifice our will to Him. I explained that love is the willingness to sacrifice ...read more

    Time To Take Down The Tree

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 24, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,454 views

    A message to remind us 1) what God has done for us 2) what He has promised us, and 3) where He is taking us. We must make the decision whether or not to take God into the New Year with us.

    So, all the presents have been unwrapped and even some of the gifts have been exchanged. The leftover turkey is all but gone and we have had to let our belts out a notch or two. All seems well and we are happy as can be – or are we? Many people find themselves depressed during the weeks ...read more

    based on 75 ratings
     | 21,188 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

     | 11,135 views

    A 2-step formula to help us realize an attitude of gratitude.

    The Pilgrims didn’t have too much of anything, did they? They had no transportation, they had no indoor plumbing, and they didn’t even have nice homes. Yet they saw reasons to give thanks to God for the many blessings they did have. What were some of the blessings He gave to the Pilgrims? ...read more

    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.

    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,600 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

     | 7,998 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

    Last week, I talked about how God put it into Phillip’s heart to leave a great harvest revival in Samaria to go to the deserts outside Jerusalem so he could talk to one person about Jesus Christ.

    We all love to take chances, don’t we? Well, I should say that we all love to take chances as long as there is no perceived danger to us. The problem is that we cannot always see the outright danger that exists. For instance, many people love to go to the casinos and gamble a little of ...read more
