    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,534 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

     | 7,943 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

    This sermon showcases the lie the Roman soldiers told; why they told it; and how that is still affecting our walk in Christ today.

    I want you to picture something in your mind this morning. Imagine yourself going up a hill, and you know that on the other side of that hill is a cliff that drops off hundreds of feet below into a lake of burning sulpher and volcanic lava. You know you have to get to the other side of that lake, ...read more

    A 4-point sermon about giving. Includes tithing our time, energies, talents, and even our money to the Lord’s kingdom. Full text and MP3 will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    I normally preach twice a year about giving. It is my duty as a pastor to give you all of God’s word, even those parts that we might not like to hear. But why would I choose the month of Christmas, the most expensive month of the year, to talk about giving to the church? Jesus. That is the ...read more

    What is the one thing most people have in common at the new year? Most of us make resolutions, don’t we?

The boy asked his ...read more

  • What Are We Feeding?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 5, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,790 views

    Using Colossians and Acts, we explore the validity of what we are preaching to our congregations.

    The question our churches need to start asking ourselves is, "What are we feeding to the congregation?" We stand at our pulpits each week declaring the truth of God’s Word, and we tell people they need to start getting ready - and then we veer off and give messages that have nothing to do with ...read more

    based on 12 ratings
     | 6,040 views

    We are to be obedient to the Lord and to tell others the Good News. But we can do neither unless we understand the Lord’s Word, and we cannot understand that unless we read it and unless are taught it in our churches. So, what do you think? Are we

    Today, I want to talk about what we are eating. Let me rephrase that; what are we being fed? I want to talk this morning about the plight of the American church. The church is not to make ourselves feel good, but to help others find life. We need to understand Who it is that makes that offer, ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 36,850 views

    Chapter 12 in our ongoing study of Revelation. These are printed as handouts for each person and there is a quiz at the end they take at home.

    This chapter of Revelation is a “great” chapter, for we find many things being revealed to us. We find a “great wonder” in verse 1; “great dragon”, in verse 3; a “great wrath” in verse 12, and a “great eagle” in verse 14. But that is not all we find. We also find a great help because we will ...read more

    An easy-to-understand study on Revelation 5.

    This chapter deals with things that are written in a scroll; a scroll that was in God’s hands and which had a message from God to us.

    An easy-to-understand study of Revelation 6.

    I heard a story that took place in a western town in the late 1800’s. It told of a horse that was spooked and then bolted, running away uncontrollably with a small boy in the bed of the wagon.

    An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand study on Revelation 8.

    In chapter 6, we saw Jesus Christ opening the six seals of the scroll.

And in the place of the ...read more

    An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand study on Revelation 9.

    In Mel Gibson’s movie, “THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST”, there was one detail that most people missed. That one detail said so much about whom it was that actually punished Jesus. That detail was that we never got to see the man’s face who hammered the spikes into Jesus’ hands. His face was only a ...read more
