    Ephesians 1:3 says we have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms, yet we do not seem to have them. Could it be because we do not know how to reach out and take them?

    JOHN 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The Good News Bible translates that statement of Jesus as, "I have come in order that you might have life ---- life in all its fullness." That’s what our faith ...read more

     | 5,532 views

    As we go into the time of Christmas, we revert our attention back to Jesus - the Good News. Full text and communion message at: www.sermonlist.com/2008.html

    For the last year, the only news we hear has been bad, hasn’t it? During the presidential campaign, all we heard was negative campaigning, and how our economy is failing. Everywhere you turn, there seems to be nothing but bad news. Have you ever noticed that the only thing this old world can ...read more

    God Pursued Us

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Dec 17, 2008
    based on 25 ratings
     | 10,473 views

    A message of how a loving God made Himself smaller for us, so that we could grow larger in Him through Jesus Christ.

    I heard the story once of a great Cherokee wood carver. He took logs and sat them on a stump outside his back door and sat in front of that log sometimes for hours just staring at it. Finally, he would pick up his carving tools and start carving the most beautiful of things out of the wood. He ...read more

    On June 1, 1965, a boat set sail from Falmouth, Massachusetts. The name of the boat was Tinkerbelle. If it completed the dangerous journey, it would be the smallest boat ever to cross the Atlantic. It was less than 14’ long. And its pilot was Robert Manry. And he was afraid. He was afraid, ...read more

    Happy New Year - Jacob's Way

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 24, 2008
    based on 20 ratings
     | 9,479 views

    Using the story of Jacob and Esau, we show that the only way to have a better life (or in this case a better New Year) is by facing God to find out who you really are in Him! And then turning your trust over to Him.

    Someone once describe insanity as doing something the exact same way over and over again, but each time expecting to get a totally different result. Most people use that exact same method when it comes to wanting a better life; they continually live in the hope of things getting better, but ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 1, 2009
    based on 34 ratings
     | 27,833 views

    A message reminding the congregation of what the definition and purpose of true worship is; and what the benefits are to those who keep the many forms of worship in the center of their hearts and focus.

    Today’s message title is, "Here I Am To Worship." I love that song! In these short lyrics, we find the true heart of worship. ‘Here I am to worship; Here I am to bow down; Here I am to say that You’re my God!’ The first thing I want you to do this morning is lift both your feet off the ...read more

    True And False Hope

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 8, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,460 views

    A message about two types of hope; one from Jesus and the other from Satan. And a cautionary reminder that, since we all seek hope, we must be very careful on which one we choose.

    A man had not been feeling well and went to his doctor for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor left the room and had the nurse call the man’s wife into his office. She came in and the doctor said the husband was going to die, but there was hope. He said, ‘Your husband needs constant ...read more

    Hot Chocolate

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 27, 2009
    based on 31 ratings
     | 12,544 views

    A sermon primarily aimed at the children, explaining how we judge people based on what they seem to be, but God judges people on what they can become in Him.

    (Although this message is meant for the entire congregation, it is primarily aimed at the younger children, teaching them that it is ultimately more important what a person is like on the inside rather than what they appear to be like on the outside. And to illustrate this point, we will have ...read more

    The Power In An Eyewitness Testimony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 5, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 12,080 views

    Giving one’s testimony involves telling others 1- How we were before we met Christ; telling them about the circumstances that 2- Led us to meet Christ; and 3- The difference Christ has made in our lives since we met Him.

    What is the most crucial testimony in a court of law? Actually there are three: One is a picture or video taken of a person committing a crime. But, depending on the quality of the picture, that can be ruled inaccessible. Another is an eyewitness that testifies they saw a person doing ...read more

    How would you feel if your car only started once out of every two or three tries, would you consider it to be a good car? What if the mailman only came to your house a couple times a week, would you consider him to be reliable? What if the electricity only worked occasionally when you flipped the ...read more

     | 10,095 views

    A shorter midweek message that might help other churches in dealing with some of the potential problems they must deal with in growing from a very small to a medium sized church in a short period of time.

    We all have choices in life. Some choices lead us into good times, while others will lead us into bad times. And considering that we are free to make whichever choice we want, we should be very careful and use much wisdom, because most choices, good or bad, have far reaching consequences that we ...read more

    One Is Bad - One Is Good

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 11, 2009
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,132 views

    A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

    I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell. There is a discrepancy in those numbers because everyone wants to go someplace good, and we all recognize that heaven is a good place. Likewise, we do not want to go any ...read more

    In LUKE 24, we read the account of Jesus’ last day upon this earth. Please turn in your Bibles to that chapter and keep it there as we will come back and visit it again in a few moments.

    Running The Race

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 16, 2009
    based on 25 ratings
     | 6,841 views

    A message of faith. Do we hide from fear, or step out in faith? Do we normally run to God, or away from Him? And this message ends with a question: ’Are we serious about living for Jesus, or do we just go through the motions, thinking we are serious?’

    Two gas company employees were out reading meters one day when they started talking about how good of physical condition they were in. One of them bragged that he used to be a track star in high school and the other one claimed to be one, too. So they decided that after they checked the meter ...read more
