    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,597 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
     | 7,997 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

    The Coming Judgment

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 23 ratings
     | 3,381 views

    Even at Christmas, we must remember that the coming judgment will deal with how we live our lives today.

    The skit that the youth ministry put on was superb! And the subject matter was very appropriate for Christians; "Judgment". This is the Christmas season, and I know it is traditional to only preach on the birth of Christ, but we must still remember something very important. The things that apply ...read more

    The Amazing Grace Of Jesus

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,939 views

    The absolutely amazing thing God did for us all because He loved us.

    1 TIMOTHY 1:15-17 tells us – ‘This is a true saying and everyone should believe it; Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I was the worst of them all. But that is why God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of His great patience with even the ...read more

    The Complacency Of The Manger

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 114 ratings
     | 11,374 views

    We can get complacent when driving the same route every day and become oblivious to the dangers - and Christians can become so used to the manger we get complacent with the meaning of it.

    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

    How To Impress God

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 2, 2005
    based on 178 ratings
     | 51,586 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

    Are You A Happy Christian?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 20,478 views

    We get upset and walk around focusing on those things that do not go the way we want them to. But is being unhappy what God wants for us?

    All of us want to be happy in our lives, don’t we? That might be one reason a person would go to church; to find happiness. But have you ever really thought what happiness includes? Happiness includes a feeling of peace within your heart. Happiness includes a feeling of calmness when all around ...read more

    based on 29 ratings
     | 10,144 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
     | 6,951 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

    Our Quick Change Society

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 17, 2005
    based on 64 ratings
     | 7,112 views

    Society seems to go by us so fast we do not have the time to assess it or where we are in it. We are admonished to focus on the Lord, not on our ever-changing world. (From a wonderful sermon I read on Sermon Central.)

    Incredible changes have taken place in the past hundred years. We are experiencing more change than ever in history. The rate of change is so great that we barely catch our breath before another blast of change slams into us. Everything we’re familiar with is changing, right before our eyes. We ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 17, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,751 views

    A sermon telling us of the hope we have in the Lord Jesus; to not despair or give up, but to persevere and keep our focus on the hope of Him. (Another sermon I did from one I found on Sermon Central.)

    There have been many prestigious people throughout the years who have been atheists, but have come to the Lord and ended up saying and doing great things that helped others see Jesus more clearly. Malcolm Muggeridge was a British journalist who was an atheist. He was so good, that he was ...read more

    Church Attendance

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 25, 2005
    based on 144 ratings
     | 37,524 views

    A sermon explaining why attending every possible service is almost a mandatory thing: Not just for the church, but for ourselves, other believers, and for the community as well.

    I have spent many years in many churches. Many times I sat as a member of the congregation, having the same viewpoint and expectations as most of you have. And then there were many times I saw something quite different than what you see each week. For many years, I saw the church body through ...read more

    The Golden Rule

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 26, 2005
    based on 135 ratings
     | 31,591 views

    This sermon shows what the Golden Rule really means, and how we might be better examples of it in our daily lives.

    I am sure that all of us have shopped at J.C. Penney at some time or other, but I want to tell you something that you probably did not know about Penney’s. It used to be known as “the Golden Rule store”. In fact, when Mr. Penney first started, his first several stores were called that. Mr. ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 26, 2005
    based on 244 ratings
     | 64,267 views

    This is the service for one of our members who went to be with our Savior last night. I hope that the joy of knowing her comes through in the words of this service.

    We gather here today, not to celebrate death, but to celebrate life; eternal life. Suzie’s temporary life on earth is now over, but her permanent life in Heaven with her Savior, Jesus Christ, has just begun. If we could picture her entrance to Heaven, we would see all the saints that ever went on ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 1, 2005
    based on 61 ratings
     | 9,051 views

    A sermon showing that God’s Spirit is holy; an attribute we so often fail to remember. We discuss the absolute need to rely upon the Spirit or we will be powerless as Christians.

    A man who was raised in the city bought a farm and moved to the country. He soon bought a cow. When he went to buy the feed for the cow, he was told the best way to use it for maximum milk. Several weeks later, the man came back to the store and said there was something wrong with the feed ...read more
