    A Marriage Ceremony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 8, 2005
    based on 67 ratings
     | 8,727 views

    A shorter, but Christ-centered, wedding ceremony that I perform for most couples I unite in marriage.

    NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Many ministers prefer to take the opportunity of performing a wedding, and give a full blown sermon. I personally feel that is uncalled for in this situation. I believe that this is the bride and groom’s day, not the preacher’s - so with that in mind, I keep it simple and ...read more

    Psalm 100

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 14, 2005
    based on 75 ratings
     | 21,210 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

    I Could Be Thankful - 'if ...'

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 16, 2005
    based on 72 ratings
     | 11,151 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

    Mary, Did You Know?

    based on 137 ratings
     | 22,457 views

    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. There was a woman named Mary who became pregnant, without the assistance of a human man, and she gave birth to a baby whom she named Jesus. And the story is ...read more

    The Biggest Blessing Of All

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 30, 2005
    based on 99 ratings
     | 5,010 views

    A sermon about the blessing of Christ - to go along with our Bethlehem Candle Service- 2nd week of Advent.

    Every year in Mesa, Arizona, the Mormon Temple puts on their Christmas display. It is a fantastic sight to see! There must be millions of lights, and the sight of those displays is truly awesome. If you want to go see them, you will spend at least a half hour looking for a place to park, and ...read more

    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,606 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

    They Need Your Love!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 7, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 4,676 views

    A sermon that talks about who is and who is not a child of God.

    Love is a word that is bandied about to describe our feelings towards everything. We love our cars. We love our homes. We love our this and we love our that. The problem is that we use it freely to describe “things” and “places” but when talking about other people, we often use negative ...read more

    Going Fishing

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 8, 2006
    based on 43 ratings
     | 5,486 views

    We can fish for fun, or we can fish for dinner. When we fish for dinner, we take it much more seriously and consequently have much better results.

    What would you say is the one thing that hurts our society more than anything else? I would say it is us; the people. We are seeing more and more violence in the streets of America, and we are building more and more jails to put the criminals in, but the violence just keeps growing. And to make ...read more

    Who Do You Think You Are?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 21, 2006
    based on 79 ratings
     | 10,278 views

    (Morning Service) Many don’t realize who they are. We are children of God, through Jesus Christ - and we must act like a family who loves one another. (Bulletin insert at bottom)

    A woman was working in her front yard one day planting new bushes and flowers. She was dressed in her work clothes and had dirt all over her hands. She looked up and saw a moving van pulling into the driveway next door. Behind the van was a car and a nice looking family got out of the car. The ...read more

    The Ultimate Love Of God

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 28, 2006
    based on 41 ratings
     | 10,621 views

    (Morning Service) A sermon about God’s love for us and how that love actually gives us the faith to love Him and be obedient to Him. (Bulletin insert included)

    There is the story of a man who told his wife that he loved her more than anything else in the world, and he wanted to have a candlelight dinner with her. He said for her to hurry up and fix dinner and he would rush home just as soon as the poker game was over. There are many types of love, but ...read more

    For The Love Of Christ

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 7, 2005
    based on 134 ratings
     | 8,013 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
     | 3,386 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
     | 7,947 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
     | 11,381 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

    Are You A Happy Christian?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 20,495 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
