    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.

    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. To make a long story short, and because I actually had the audacity of arguing with him in front of his friends, he began to hit me. I saw the fist ...read more

    I have a photograph, taken of my paternal grandfather. It was taken around 1910, when he was 28. I put that photograph next to a photo of me that was taken in 1977, when I was 30. The poses were just about the same. Surprisingly, the only real different between the two photos is he was ...read more

I am an earthworm.” Here is another. “I can run, but cannot walk. I have a mouth, bu cannot talk. I have a bed, but I never sleep. ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,310 views

    A contemporary study on Revelation, chapter 9

    The book of REVELATION is an odd book when compared to the rest of the Bible. It is a warning for everyone, even though some will not be here to see these warnings unfold. It tells of things to come that were seen in a vision nearly 2,000 years ago. And it describes some things the writer had ...read more

    What Is Spiritual Warfare?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 12, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 26,228 views

    This message explains spiritual warfare and how it affects each of us. It also shows how we can protect ourselves from it.

    I have found that there are three basic types of sermons. The first kind of sermon tells about what will come our way to hurt us, and it teaches what we can do to help prevent that from happening. The second type of sermon tells about what we are doing that might allow something bad to come our ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 25,401 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

    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?

When ...read more

    The Proof Of Easter

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 30, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,758 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
     | 15,462 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
     | 13,828 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

     | 29,246 views

    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

    based on 8 ratings
     | 38,873 views

    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
