    Do you remember the excitement you felt when it was time for you to get your driver’s license? You could barely wait to get behind the wheel and take off, right? But, before you could do that, there was something you needed to do. Do you remember what that was? You had to learn to ...read more

    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,407 views

    How do we pray? Opening skit, showing that it is better to have no words in your heart than it is to have no heart in your words. Are we hot, cold, or lukewarm?

    (THIS SERMON OPENS WITH THE FOLLOWING SKIT) Billie is standing at the pulpit, with her head bowed as she is praying. (This script is in front of her.) The pastor is in the back of the sanctuary, with a microphone. (He is the voice of God.) Billie: Our Father Who Art In Heaven. Pastor: ...read more

If it does not work, pull the emergency ripcord. 4. When you land, a truck will take you back to the base. The young ...read more

    Using an illustration showing how we not only grab things of this world, but we hold on to them in spite of approaching spiritual death.

    For those of you who were not able to be here last Sunday evening, Pastor Willie presented one of the best sermons I have heard in a very long time. In that sermon was an illustration that I thought was perhaps the best I have ever heard involving how we may want God, but we want what is in the ...read more

    Sermon 1 - Your Purpose

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 21, 2005
    based on 195 ratings
     | 52,006 views

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

    All of us have questions about why we exist. I think the two most asked questions about our lives are: a) The question of reason - "Why am I here?" b) The question of value - "Do I really matter?" Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 29, 2005
    based on 37 ratings
     | 5,682 views

    After preaching this sermon, 21 people came forward at invitation.

    A couple of weeks ago, in an elders meeting, I asked each elder to give me his vision for this church. I was surprised. Most churches never communicate their vision, hence most elders are unfocused as to any unified vision at all. Each of our elders, however, had a vision and were pretty much in ...read more

    Personal testimonies; showing we never know when, so it would behoove us to get right - right now! Sunday evening service that proved to be very powerful within the congregation!

    We have all heard many people in our lives give their personal testimonies. Some were delivered out of a life of drugs; some out of the occult; some out of lust; and yet others right out of the gates of hell themselves. Tonight, we are going to be talking a lot about these testimonies. You will ...read more

    'christian' Means 'like Christ'

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 18, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,891 views

    Too many church goers think they are Christians because they do not know the real definition of the word "Christian".

    We were created by God to worship Him. That is our purpose. God’s plan is for us to worship Him. But, there is something else we are supposed to do, too. We are supposed to be like Christ. If you would take a random poll and ask people in America what they think being a Christian means, most ...read more

    A sermon about the offerings God and Satan have for each of us.

    "LET’S MAKE A DEAL!" Who among you remembers the ‘LET’S MAKE A DEAL’ TV show? It was one of the most popular games shows of its day.

    I am going to dedicate 2006 to doing everything I can do to allow revival in this church and within the church body. It won’t be any old revival, either. It will be a revival for our Lord, Jesus Christ, and it will reach out into our community to do things this church has never seen before! But ...read more
