    The Complacency Of The Manger

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 16, 2005
    based on 114 ratings
     | 11,148 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

    What Are We Feeding?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 5, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,642 views

    Using Colossians and Acts, we explore the validity of what we are preaching to our congregations.

    The question our churches need to start asking ourselves is, "What are we feeding to the congregation?" We stand at our pulpits each week declaring the truth of God’s Word, and we tell people they need to start getting ready - and then we veer off and give messages that have nothing to do with ...read more

    What Are We Eating?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 6, 2011
    based on 12 ratings
     | 5,957 views

    We are to be obedient to the Lord and to tell others the Good News. But we can do neither unless we understand the Lord’s Word, and we cannot understand that unless we read it and unless are taught it in our churches. So, what do you think? Are we

    Today, I want to talk about what we are eating. Let me rephrase that; what are we being fed? I want to talk this morning about the plight of the American church. The church is not to make ourselves feel good, but to help others find life. We need to understand Who it is that makes that offer, ...read more

    Revelation 12: The Woman, The Child, & The Dragon Series

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 6, 2011
    based on 18 ratings
     | 36,575 views

    Chapter 12 in our ongoing study of Revelation. These are printed as handouts for each person and there is a quiz at the end they take at home.

    This chapter of Revelation is a “great” chapter, for we find many things being revealed to us. We find a “great wonder” in verse 1; “great dragon”, in verse 3; a “great wrath” in verse 12, and a “great eagle” in verse 14. But that is not all we find. We also find a great help because we will ...read more

    A Doorway

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 9, 2012
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,897 views

    Our past; our present; our future. Our past doesn’t have to count. The only thing that really counts is where we are today, because where we are today determines where we will be 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 out ...read more

    Parking On Someone Else’s Dime

    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,651 views

    A message about our earning future blessings for future generations; by doing what our forefathers did. (To be given the Sunday after Thanksgiving)

    Have you ever noticed that people get stuck in habits? A perfect example is how we might drive the same route to work every day for years, and there comes a point in time when we can’t remember the drive we just got through making. That is when we just “go through the motions” bu do not ...read more

    1 Corinthians 10: Paul's Love For Others

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 12, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,086 views

    Showing how sin leads us away from God, and if we are condemned we will not return, but if we are loved, we will.

    Today, we continue with our teaching in 1 Corinthians 10. We will begin with verse 8. But before we begin, I want to briefly set it up by giving you a quick overview of the entire chapter. God had set the Israelites free from their bondage in Egypt and they were now headed to the Promised Land. ...read more

    How To Be Blessed Beyond Measure

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 17, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,406 views

    This message explains why we do not have blessings or joy in our lives and how we go about getting those blessings from God. To do so, we use the passage found in PSALM 1:1-6 as our main authority.

    My father used to tell us boys that everyone has someone who is in authority over them. He said that every soldier has a sergeant; every worker has a foreman; and then with a wink, he would add, “And every husband has a wife.” And even though he was joking when he said that, he ...read more

    Living For The Return

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 28, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,818 views

    This sermon is a take off from a previous sermon of mine entitled "For the Love of Christ." It discusses the return of Christ and how we must live today for our hope of tomorrow.

    WE’VE ALL HEARD ABOUT ··· The return of Jesus Christ, and how He will then take us home with Him. WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG ··· I was afraid of Jesus. My older brother said if I wasn’t careful, Jesus would reach out from the radio and pull me in with Him. THAT’S THE SAME BROTHER ··· Who told me I ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 14,996 views

    Following the last command Jesus gave us, as found in MATTHEW 28:19, 20.

    Even as Christians, many of us try our best to avoid uncomfortable situations. But sometimes, it is within those uncomfortable situations that we find our deepest levels of faith. We are going to discuss one of those situations this morning, but first, let us open in prayer to the Father. When I ...read more

    Wedding Ceremony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 8, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 12,402 views

    A wedding ceremony I gave when I married my daughter and her fiance. I used the blending of sand to represent the blending of two lives which blend into one marriage.

    Dan and Kimberly, you have come together today to give thanks for, and to participate in, God’s wonderful gift of marriage. Marriage was meant to endure all things, and is never to be taken for granted, but to be held in high esteem at all times. EPHESIANS 5:22, tells the woman to submit unto ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,773 views

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 1.

    A little 5-year old girl was "helping" her mother fix dinner one evening when the mother asked her to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomatoes. The little girl said she was afraid to go in there because it was dark. The mother told her it was okay, as nothing was going to hurt her because ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.

    In my very first position as a Senior Pastor, I quickly became aware of the major problem found in churches today. About three months into the job, I preached about the Rapture. I made sure it was not the old "hellfire & brimstone" type of message, and I even added some levity to a few parts, but ...read more

    Study On Revelation 3 Series

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 3, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,095 views

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 3.

    I remember when I was in grade school, I really thought that going to school was a waste of time. I knew the teachers were well educated, but I also thought that, as we lived and grew older, nobody would ever need all the information they were trying to teach us. A good friend of mine agreed ...read more
