  • The Communion

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 31, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 57,989 views

    An explanation of what the Lord's Supper is, where it derived from, and how we are told to partake of it today. It includes why young children should not partake, nor anyone who has sin in their hearts.

    Today is the first Sunday of the month, and this is the Sunday which we will observe the Lord’s Supper. We will do that at the end of the service today, so I thought it appropriate to talk about Communion so that all would understand what it is, what it means, and that we can be on the same ...read more

  • Do You Know Him?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 19,775 views

    More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

    As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more

    We are called to remember many things, including our veterans. This sermon analyzed why and how we can show our love, appreciation and our thanks to them for all the things they have afforded our nation.

    This coming Tuesday is our yearly Veteran’s Day holiday. It is a time set apart to remember, celebrate and honor our veterans. But to do so properly, I think we should know what the word “veteran” means. So, I looked it up in the dictionary. The definition of ...read more

    This message explains the necessity of giving to a compassionate ministry so others might be helped. The parable of the Good Samaritan in LUKE 10 is used as the example.

    Open your bibles to the book of LUKE, chapter 10. Let us read verses 30-37. One day, as Jesus was teaching, a religious leader stood and, wanting to test Jesus, asked him, “Teacher, what should I do if I want to inherit eternal life?” Jesus responded by asking the religious leader ...read more

  • Speaking God’s Word

    based on 16 ratings
     | 10,450 views

    As found in the Creation, God’s word is powerful, and when we speak His word, we tap into that power so we may glorify Him even more.

    GENESIS 1:1-3 "And God said ..." Why is it important to speak God’s Word? Because God’s Word is full of power, it’s alive and becomes fully effective when we activate it in our lives. When we became Christians, Jesus came into our hearts, and we were filled with the Holy Spirit. He came ...read more

    PROVERBS 3: 5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." There are four points to living the Christian life in absolute victory. 1. TRUST GOD God is the same yesterday, today, ...read more

  • The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 16 ratings
     | 44,938 views

    In this message, we explore who the Holy Spirit is and who we are in the Holy Spirit.

    Who is the Holy Spirit? When we talk about God the Father, we can understand the concept of a Father, when we talk about God the Son, again we can understand a Son, but what happens when we say, God the Holy Spirit? People can understand something they see or know, but we can’t see the Spirit. ...read more

  • Listening Doesn’t Have To Be A Problem

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,065 views

    We are discussing how to listen well as Jesus referenced in LUKE 8:18.

    If we learn how to properly listen to teaching and preaching, it will literally change our lives! And, as with any subject, to learn we must be willing to listen and pay attention. What did Jesus say in LUKE 8:18? Jesus is telling us that we are responsible for listening well, and the state ...read more

  • What A Big Catch Of Fish!

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,313 views

    Jesus was still teaching the disciples lessons - even after the tomb. Here, he teaches a lesson using a miraculous catch of fish.

    VERSES 1-3 Jesus was still trying to teach the disciples a lesson, even after His death. Jesus was going to leave the disciples in charge of His work and His mission here on this earth. After the events of Christ’s death, some believe that Peter returned to fishing because he felt ...read more

  • The Reinstatement & Restoration Of Peter

    Contributed by Diana Ball on Jan 4, 2011
    based on 12 ratings
     | 16,688 views

    We look at the reinstatement of Peter, using the passage in John 21 as our reference.

    After Jesus finished dealing with the physical needs of the Disciples, He then turned to dealing with their spiritual needs. In these verses, we see that Jesus is examining Peter, internally. Peter had repented and been restored to fellowship with the Lord since he had publicly denied Him. ...read more

  • What Are We Feeding?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 5, 2011
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,548 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

  • A Doorway

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 9, 2012
    based on 11 ratings
     | 8,863 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

    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

  • This Thing Called Marriage

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,659 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!

    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,752 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
