    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 15, 2009
    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,059 views

    A sermon about the feeding of the 5,000, using two small fish and five small loaves. How this was a lesson that was followed up by a test on the lake that evening. And how we can use that to develop our own faith.

    One day in the middle of the woods, a hawk, a lion, and a skunk were arguing about which one was the most powerful. The hawk said it was because he could fly down and catch his dinner so quickly they could not get away. The lion said he could run the fastest and had the bigger teeth to eat ...read more

    Are You Still Being Saved Today?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,074 views

    A message of how our salvation is not something relegated to the past; something that happened to us "once", but is actively being worked on in the present.

    We Christians talk a lot about our being saved, don’t we? But have you ever noticed that it always seems to be in the past tense? ‘Have you been saved?’ ‘When were you saved?’ I think the more appropriate, and perhaps the most accurate way of asking about one’s salvation would be, ‘Are you ...read more

    Overview On Genesis 12: Abram's Availability

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 31, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 7,304 views

    This message hi-lites Abram’s willingness to be available for God, as shown in Genesis 12. Because he made himself available to God, God blessed Abram. And God will bless us today if we make ourselves available to Him, too.

    Last Thursday night, we learned how man fell away from God when we chose to partake of the forbidden fruit, and how that has caused mankind to be in sin ever since. God gave Adam and Eve a set of rules to live by, but they decided to do what they wanted to do instead of what God wanted them to do. ...read more

    This Thing Called Marriage

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,869 views

    A sermon that can also be used as a marriage or relationship seminar. Ephesians 5:22-30

    Have you noticed that, as much as couples seem to ’get along’, they also spend just as much time ’not’ getting along? Statistics show that in the late 1800’s, only one out of every 34 marriages ended in divorce. By the mid 1900’s, one out of every 7 marriages ended in divorce, and through ...read more

    Give Me More!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 6, 2011
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,948 views

    A message showing that we have the same attitudes that the Israelites had while traveling in the desert with Moses.

    How many times have we gone to God and asked Him for things we wanted or needed? The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years and were brutalized, beaten, and killed. Many of them had asked God to help them get out of that mess, but it was not until the entire nation of Israelites ...read more

    Why Do We Have Sin In Our Lives?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 6, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,589 views

    To fear the Lord is to hate evil. Maybe we have sin in our lives because .....

    We Christians try so hard to live a good and pure life for God, don’t we? But we are all-too-often beleaguered down with the burden of sin. It seems that the harder we try, the worse we get. And so, we must ask the question, “Why do we have sin in our lives?” PROVERBS 8:13 might give us a ...read more

    Here’s The Truth . . .

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 6, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,514 views

    We study what the real truth is, as found in John 17:17

    JOHN 17:17 “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” The word “truth” in this verse comes from the Greek word “aletheia” which means “factual”, “a reality” or “real.” And we understand that God’s Word is a reality. But another English equivalent is the word "genuine" - God’s Word is ...read more

    A recap of the teaching already given on Revelation, chapters 1 through 6.

    In Daniel 12:4, the prophet is commanded by the angel-interpreter: “Close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.” Directly contrasting that, John, the writer of Revelation, is commanded by an angel: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of the book, because the time ...read more

     | 7,507 views

    A message that shows how people of all times are just like us today. We are all driven by our pasts to make decisions today that will affect our futures tomorrow.

    There were two men out in the country hunting one day when all of a sudden they came upon a very large grizzly bear. They could instantly tell that the bear was looking for lunch. And so, they began to run with all their might. While they were running away from the bear, one of them yelled ...read more

    I remember when I was in the seventh grade; I was the new kid in school and had the great misfortune of standing up against the school bully.

    MATTHEW 23:11 “But the greatest among you shall be your servant.” When I was a teenager, I remember telling my father that I wanted to be a successful businessman when I grew up.
