    Noah Found Grace

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 26, 2006
    based on 83 ratings
     | 21,290 views

    What was God looking for when He called Noah? He was not looking for perfection, intelligence, or strength; He was looking for faithfulness. And in being faithful, Noah found that one person can make a difference.

    As you look around at the world in which we live, it is easy to see lots of problems. There is corruption in the government, obvious moral decline, and an almost total disregard for others. We see a growing lack of respect in our youth toward their elders, and this is encouraged in most of the ...read more

    If We Don't - Who Will?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,456 views

    We are no longer citizens of planet earth, but we are ambassadors here for our Lord Jesus. And we must go into the darkness without becoming part of the darkness.

    Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a war for every generation? My great-grandfather fought in the Civil War. His son, my grandfather, fought in the First World War. My own father, fought in the Second World War. When I was about four years old, I can remember my oldest brother joining ...read more

    The Omission In Our Comission

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 20, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 2,521 views

    A short sermonette given the day after our team of missionaries came back from Mexico. The three leaders gave a short talk, and this was at the end. This sermonette was taken from a sermon on SermonCentral.com.

    Several years ago a large, new post office was built in Pittsburgh, at the cost of several million dollars. On the day of it’s opening, the Governor made a speech, TV cameras recorded, the bands played and the people cheered. It was quite a celebration. But when the first man entered to mail a ...read more

    We Are Soldiers For Christ

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,075 views

    Make no mistake - we are soldiers for Christ. As soldiers, we have a duty to do what He has told us to do: Love & pray for our enemies - including those of the Islamic faith.

    It is fitting that we start this sermon by coming to an understanding of just who we are. Put in its simplest terms, we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. No Christian should ever doubt that. And, as soldiers, we must have certain knowledge and perform certain duties. 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 states, ‘Endure ...read more

    He Still Can & He Still Will!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,313 views

    We rely on ourselves for everything - to the exclusion of God. It shocks us when we come to the reality that God not only is still "able" to help us .... but that He still "wants" to help us!

    Now, first let me tell you that I used to be a very faithful viewer to the original Mickey Mouse Club. I used to watch it every day. I knew all of them by name and I really enjoyed that program. Of course, I was only about 8 years old at the time, too. Have you ever heard the expression, ...read more

    Are You Unworthy?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 1, 2005
    based on 232 ratings
     | 65,353 views

    Using Zacchaeus as an example, this sermon shows that no matter what our past, we are lovingly accepted by Jesus Christ as His own. Sermon based upon a sermon by Lee Stroebel.

    One of your greatest needs in life is to feel valuable; that your life matters; and that you are worthwhile. Because of this, you’ll find yourself looking around and comparing yourself to other people. In our society we tend to base our self-worth on four things: 1 - We judge our worth first ...read more

    How To Impress God

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 2, 2005
    based on 178 ratings
     | 51,175 views

    We can only impress God when we finally realize that we have nothing in life aside from Christ within us. That is how we manage to impress God - not with our pride, but with our humble honesty.

    There was a very lost, wicked, and rebellious man who decided it would be good for business if he went down to the church and joined it. He was an adulterer, an alcoholic, and had never been a member of a church in his life. But when he went down to place membership, he gave public testimony to ...read more

    Are You A Happy Christian?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 20,136 views

    We get upset and walk around focusing on those things that do not go the way we want them to. But is being unhappy what God wants for us?

    All of us want to be happy in our lives, don’t we? That might be one reason a person would go to church; to find happiness. But have you ever really thought what happiness includes? Happiness includes a feeling of peace within your heart. Happiness includes a feeling of calmness when all around ...read more

    Why We Need The Church

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 10, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,919 views

    A sermon reminding us how much we need the church to enhance our growth for the Lord and to enhance the harvest for His kingdom.

    There is a golf course in Phoenix, Arizona. They cater to you as if you were a king. It is not open to just anyone, though. Before you can play that course, you have to become a member. There is a big store in Tulsa called SAM’S CLUB that has just about everything you can desire, and it is all ...read more

    Having Peace Of Mind

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 11, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,715 views

    We discuss how we can have true peace of mind by following 5 simple principles: none of which are found in the world.

    Most people have anything but true peace of mind. That seems to be one of those things we all search for, but never really find, right? I heard an advertisement that said if you purchased their product, you could have total peace of mind, because if it didn’t work, you would get your money back. ...read more

    Our Quick Change Society

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 17, 2005
    based on 64 ratings
     | 6,990 views

    Society seems to go by us so fast we do not have the time to assess it or where we are in it. We are admonished to focus on the Lord, not on our ever-changing world. (From a wonderful sermon I read on Sermon Central.)

    Incredible changes have taken place in the past hundred years. We are experiencing more change than ever in history. The rate of change is so great that we barely catch our breath before another blast of change slams into us. Everything we’re familiar with is changing, right before our eyes. We ...read more

    Our Blessed Hope

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 17, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,564 views

    A sermon telling us of the hope we have in the Lord Jesus; to not despair or give up, but to persevere and keep our focus on the hope of Him. (Another sermon I did from one I found on Sermon Central.)

    There have been many prestigious people throughout the years who have been atheists, but have come to the Lord and ended up saying and doing great things that helped others see Jesus more clearly. Malcolm Muggeridge was a British journalist who was an atheist. He was so good, that he was ...read more

    Church Attendance

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 25, 2005
    based on 144 ratings
     | 36,895 views

    A sermon explaining why attending every possible service is almost a mandatory thing: Not just for the church, but for ourselves, other believers, and for the community as well.

    I have spent many years in many churches. Many times I sat as a member of the congregation, having the same viewpoint and expectations as most of you have. And then there were many times I saw something quite different than what you see each week. For many years, I saw the church body through ...read more

    The Golden Rule

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 26, 2005
    based on 135 ratings
     | 31,262 views

    This sermon shows what the Golden Rule really means, and how we might be better examples of it in our daily lives.

    I am sure that all of us have shopped at J.C. Penney at some time or other, but I want to tell you something that you probably did not know about Penney’s. It used to be known as “the Golden Rule store”. In fact, when Mr. Penney first started, his first several stores were called that. Mr. ...read more

    Funeral Service For Church Member

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 26, 2005
    based on 244 ratings
     | 63,281 views

    This is the service for one of our members who went to be with our Savior last night. I hope that the joy of knowing her comes through in the words of this service.

    We gather here today, not to celebrate death, but to celebrate life; eternal life. Suzie’s temporary life on earth is now over, but her permanent life in Heaven with her Savior, Jesus Christ, has just begun. If we could picture her entrance to Heaven, we would see all the saints that ever went on ...read more
