  • #1 And Proud Of It

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 25, 2006
    based on 68 ratings
     | 9,627 views

    A sermon dealing with pride. Examples of pride, pitfalls of pride and how to overcome pride.

    There is an old saying: ‘Second place is okay if you don’t mind being first in a long line of losers.’ Nobody wants to be in 2nd place, do they? We all want to be in first place. We all want to be the winner, no matter what it is we have won at. In June 1974, Richard Nixon’s administration ...read more

    A funeral service for one of the deacons in our church.

    1 CORINTHIANS 15:54 ‘When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” Today, we gather here to remember one of our Christian brothers; Don McDuffey. Don ...read more

  • Revival In The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 4, 2006
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,880 views

    When we purposely do not grieve the Holy Spirit, we are acting within the confines of a disciple, and we shall find revival in our souls. EPH. 4:30

    I want to share one verse with you tonight. It is a short verse, but I think it might be among the most important verses found in the New Testament. EPHESIANS 4:30 – ‘And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit, who sealed you for the day of redemption.’ We are told in the Word of God not to ...read more

  • They Need Your Love!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 7, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 4,548 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
     | 5,231 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

  • In Joshua 6 - Lessons For Today

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 21, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 25,237 views

    The story of how God led the smaller Israelite people to victory over a large and fortified city tells us much about what He will do for us today. Using lyrics of older hymns to reflect on our reliance upon God.

    I remember, as a child, sitting in church on light maple colored pews between my mother and father. They would never let my brother and me sit next to each other because we would end up hitting each other, or worse. But those memories are now very precious to me. And some of the memories that ...read more

  • The Ride Into Jersusalem

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 26, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 30,583 views

    This would be the most expensive trip in history and it would impact ever human born afterwards.

    How many of you like to travel? Sometimes, going on trips is exciting, isn’t it? And when most people travel, they do not plan on being gone for long, and even so, when they get to where they are going, the first thing they do is unpack their belongings and find places to put them. When ...read more

  • The Proof Of Easter

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 30, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,665 views

    In a time when many deny the existence of Jesus and the fact He arose, we offer the biblical story and compare it to some of the worldly explanations about Jesus and the tomb, using the truth found in facts.

    There are many thoughts as to what actually happened on that first Easter so many years ago, or what it actually means to us today. That is what we will address today. So, if you would, please open your Bibles to LUKE 24. We will begin there, but first . . . What do you think a good sermon ...read more

  • The State Of Our Church

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 31, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,381 views

    Our annual End of the Fiscal Year necessitates assessing where our church is and what we should be focusing on in the next year. Your congregation should hear something like this from you, too.

    I truly thank God for His allowing me to pastor a congregation like you. It is my distinct pleasure to serve you as you serve the Lord. We are in a small “bedroom” community that serves the two larger cities. A bedroom community is one where people choose to live even though they ...read more

  • Which Bridge Is Safe?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 8, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,705 views

    Using the analogy of a bridge crossing a chasm, we discuss that even though there seems to be many bridges available, only one really leads to the other side and we must be careful when deciding which bridge.

    When you are planning a trip, how good are you at determining which way to get there? Do you just take a guess at which roads to take, or do you actually get a map out and plan your trip? Of course, smart money is always on the one who plans the trip, but I think we would be shocked to find out ...read more

  • Which Book Talks About Jesus?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 21, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,289 views

    This message covers every book of the bible, and shows how each one of them reference Jesus Christ. The title is a question. The answer would be .... "all of them."

    We are American Christians who believe in the Holy Bible, and as such, we recognize that the one thing that runs all the way through our Bible, like a ribbon tying it all together, is Jesus Christ. And "Christ" is not His last name: It is His title. And if we knew everything that title meant, ...read more

  • A Sanctuary Dediction

    based on 4 ratings

    We dedicated our newly remodeled sanctuary back to the Lord.

    Good morning, and welcome to God's house this morning! It is always a pleasure to see each of you on Sunday mornings. Our prayer is that, as you sit here, you will begin to feel an upswelling of God's Spirit working in you to bring you closer to Jesus Christ than you have ever been ...read more

  • A Study On The Rapture

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 26, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,139 views

    Discusses the Rapture, why some believe in it while others do not, and gives Scripture to support it.

    As Christians and believers in Christ, we know what the overall plan is: To talk with Jesus so we can go to heaven when we die. But there is a lot more information squeezed into that plan that we might be fully aware of. During our lifetimes in church, we have all heard many sermons, but since ...read more

  • 1 Corinthians 10: Paul's Love For Others

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 12, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,996 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
     | 22,266 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
