    Jesus wore the crown of diety and because of that, He was put on the cross. But what most have never realized is that He was also guilty. Let’s see what He was guilty of .....

    I am going to talk tonight about the Jesus’ crown, Jesus’ cross, and the Jesus’ guilt.

    When we are standing before the throne on Judgment Day, perhaps one of the scariest words we will ever hear is, "NEXT!"

    Every Sunday evening, after I get home from church, I start trying to think about what to preach about the next Sunday. I go through many possibilities, and then it happens – every week the same thing. Come Monday afternoon I have one thought in my mind that just won’t go away, and after ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 6,023 views

    77 words of distress being called out from hell, but nobody can help. LUKE 16:19-31.

    There was a movie in recent months about a man who was talking on a short wave radio and ended up talking to his father who had died many years before. Now, that is what I call imagination. But, for the sake of tonight’s message, I want you to imagine something, too. I want you to imagine that ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 26, 2006
    based on 83 ratings
     | 20,501 views

    What was God looking for when He called Noah? He was not looking for perfection, intelligence, or strength; He was looking for faithfulness. And in being faithful, Noah found that one person can make a difference.

    As you look around at the world in which we live, it is easy to see lots of problems. There is corruption in the government, obvious moral decline, and an almost total disregard for others. We see a growing lack of respect in our youth toward their elders, and this is encouraged in most of the ...read more

    A Mother’s Day sermon explaining how the command to honor is just that - a command. There are no parameters given on qualifications. (From a sermon by Melvin Newland)

    Today is Mother’s Day. It is the one day each year that we men put aside to honor our mothers and the mothers of our children. And they happen to be the one person we will generally buy a gift for, and we will still anguish over what to buy. If you have not yet purchased a gift for your mother ...read more

    Take an empty cola bottle sometime and fill it half full of water. Then, take some vegetable oil and fill it the rest of the way. Then try to shake it with all your might so it will become all mixed up. What happens? The moment you stop shaking, it begins to separate from one another, doesn’t ...read more

  • Even A Little Can Hurt

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on May 30, 2006
    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,250 views

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more
