    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 24, 2005
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,209 views

    Evangelism sermon, showing similarities between cowboys and Christians. A very close take-off from the sermon of a friend of mine; Pastor Steve Shepherd of Jonesboro, AR.

    Cowboy Joe was had just come back from going to church for the first time, and was in the bunkhouse telling the other cowhands about his experience. He said, “When I got there, I parked my pick-up in the corral. Charlie, a worldly cowboy said, “That would be the parking lot, Joe.” Joe ...read more

    based on 103 ratings
     | 4,923 views

    A sermon about the offerings God and Satan have for each of us.

    "LET’S MAKE A DEAL!" Who among you remembers the ‘LET’S MAKE A DEAL’ TV show? It was one of the most popular games shows of its day. Contestants were given some really good money or prizes, but along with each gift came a chance to gamble; gamble on turning that gift into much more, or losing ...read more

    The Calvary Will Save You!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 3, 2005
    based on 95 ratings
     | 14,546 views

    A 4-point sermon detailing how God loves us by doing everything from blessing us to rescuing us.

    When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching westerns on TV. It seemed that no matter how much trouble the hero got into, he would always be saved by the Cavalry. Today, as an adult, life sure seems to be full of trouble, too. It seems that no matter what we do, we have trouble of some kind. If it’s not ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 3, 2005
    based on 84 ratings
     | 6,764 views

    A 2 point sermon inspired by Steve Shepherd’s Commitment series sermons.

    A newspaper journalist was assigned to Jerusalem and when he got there, he decided to get an apartment overlooking the Wailing Wall. After several weeks of watching out over the wall, he realized that every day, the same old Jewish man would come and spend most of the day praying vigorously at ...read more

    Apple Seeds

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2005
    based on 65 ratings
     | 9,633 views

    Anybody can count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God knows how many apples are in each seed.

    Have you ever noticed that people need to be around other people? Yet, all too often, what do we do? We tend to build walls around ourselves and keep other people out. We draw lines between us and concentrate more on our differences than our similarities. A man was a witness to another man ...read more

    23rd Psalm - Explained

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2005
    based on 119 ratings
     | 34,515 views

    Sermon referencing David & PSALM 23 to show where our strength, contentment, and security come from.

    We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get to be an adult, or after we are married, have a good job, start a family, etc. Then we get frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough to mind, or be left alone, or old enough to play sports yet. We believe we’ll be more content when they ...read more

    A Marriage Ceremony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 8, 2005
    based on 67 ratings
     | 8,390 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
     | 20,387 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
     | 10,926 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

    based on 137 ratings
     | 22,081 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

    based on 99 ratings
     | 4,843 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
     | 21,308 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
     | 7,778 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
     | 3,234 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

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,796 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
