Peace On Earth

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Mar 24, 2020

We might read a Christmas card that says "Peace on Earth" and not think anything of it. But the hope of God's peace is revolutionary.

In years past at Christmas time you would see the phrase, “Peace on Earth,” quite a bit. It might be on a banner in a store window or on Christmas cards or decorations in someone’s front yard. We did get one Christmas card with the phrase, but not as many as in years past. As the years go by we ...read more

1 Timothy Chapter 3 Series

Contributed by Luther Sexton on Mar 13, 2024

This is a detailed study verse by verse. You will need to analyze, synthesize, and then summarize to fit your need. I have used several different sources to which I give credit.

I Timothy Chapter 3 I Tim 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. (King James Version) 3:1 This is a faithful and trustworthy saying: if any man [eagerly] seeks the office of overseer (bishop, superintendent), he desires an excellent task. ...read more

A Faith That En-Abels Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 11, 2021

By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does. Cain is mentioned in 18 verses but Abel ONLY gets 11 verses (about 1/3 less attention). But the PRESS ...read more

Christmas Series Christmas Party: The Shepherds Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Dec 3, 2019

May we remember that Jesus Christ came to save everyone from the greatest to the least and everyone in between no matter what. May we have a healthy fear, awe, and respect for our God Almighty. May we commit ourselves to being witnesses about the birth of Christ.

Let's Make A Deal

Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 29, 2013

The devil wants to find out if you have a selling price. He will make some offers that sound too good to believe, and they always are. Hold out against his deceitful offers and God will reward you in the end.

Get Sold Out, Not just Hold'n Out Luke 12:16-21 Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. This trinity of mankind will work to be unified.

Christmas Stinks! Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Nov 20, 2017

There is much that stinks in this world, but Jesus' birth in a smelly manger reminds us that Jesus can be born in us. A brief sermon for Christmas Eve.

Christmas stinks! Or, so would say the Grinch who stole Christmas. You remember the Grinch? The slinky, green ogre of a character created by Dr. Seuss whose heart was too small to love and appreciate Christmas. We know the story. All the Who’s down in Whoville make the Grinch cringe with all their ...read more

Oh, To Be Rich

Contributed by Bill Butsko on Aug 9, 2007

Man thinks of worldly riches but God thinks of heavenly riches.

Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (v. 13). People were always following Jesus; perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps they really believed in what he said, perhaps they were looking for a miracle or healing to take place, or for other ...read more

Jesus Brings Us God

Contributed by R. David Reynolds on Dec 18, 2004

This sermon was preached on the Fourth Sunday in Advent with the basic text being John 1:14, "The Word Became Flesh." It is a message on His Incarnation.

Jes Brings Us God --John 1:1-14 “This is about a modern man, one of us. He was not a scrooge; he was a kind, decent, mostly good man, generous to his family, upright in his dealings with others, but he did not believe in all that Incarnation stuff that the Churches proclaim at Christmas time. ...read more

A Masterpiece In The Making

Contributed by Terri Williams Dunson on Jan 1, 2012

When God seems quiet, know this - He's still there, He still cares, and there's a masterpiece in the making.

A Masterpiece in the Making by Terri Williams Dunson When reading the Bible, I sometimes try to put myself in the place of the person being talked about: For example - how did Mary and Joseph feel? An angel appears to tell you that you will give birth to God's Son, Yet, when you arrive ...read more

Hoarding wealth versus Rich toward God.

BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS. Luke 12:13-21.

Invest In Eternity

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 11, 2008

Are you concerned with earthly possessions or heavenly treasures, with temporary goods or eternal rewards, with self or with people? Be wise and invest in eternity.

A man has his priorities wrong and Jesus had to tell him this parable to address it. You can be doing nothing wrong and yet not be right. • The farmer wasn’t doing anything sinful but he was not doing it right. • He is hardworking, and probably smart, seeing the way he organises his farm. • He is ...read more

The Wonder Of It All

Contributed by Chris Tiller on Jan 3, 2006

God has come to you in a way you can see…in a way you can touch…in a way you can understand. God has come, not to overwhelm you with terror, but to reach out to you with gentleness. Come see the baby. He will show you the way.

Outside of Bethlehem, every night of the year, for thousands of years, there have been shepherds watching their flocks by night. In that respect, this particular night was no different from any other. At least, it started out no different from any other. Sheep huddled in the cold night air. ...read more

Hick Town Heroes

Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 30, 2005

The coming of Jesus is the greatest event in all of history. Yet, He did not come with great fanfare or with parades or announcements to kings. Jesus was not born in a large town. Jesus’ birth was announced to simple people... the hicks... who became h

Parable for Christmas Eve service.

Until the 1960’s it was not customary for fathers to be physically present in the room while their children were being born. Birthing was the realm of women, and men were not Lamaze coaches. They were not hand holders or breathing assistants. They were outside – where men belonged. So when Mary ...read more
