    Understanding the essence of the mystery of the Trinity even though we cannot understand the mystery.

    “Who’s on First?” Trinity Sunday By Al Schifano – May 2002 How many times have you had something happen to you, when you simply laughed and said: “God really has a sense of humor.” I think we have all had that experience many times. I am convinced that God must have a wonderful sense of humor. ...read more

    God has not promised skies always blue Flower strewn pathways all our lives through God has not promised sun without rain. Joy without sorrow, peace without pain But God has promised strength for the day Rest from the labor, light for the way

    Hard Knocks Introduction: Many times I have watched a boy going along the street kicking a tin can. The can would fly through the air, bounce on the pavement, scrape along the curb, and before very long it became a battered object of ill treatment. His battered can reminds me of life. I. ...read more

    Three Strikes, You're Out! Series

    Israel missed each opportunity God gave them. Each time Amos interceded, God held off on afflicting them. Finally, He had enough—He afflicted them with almost complete destruction. God is faithful to respond to the intercessory prayers of His people.

    1. The first pitch was a fastball of grace. 2. The second pitch was a fastball of mercy. 3. The third pitch was a changeup of affliction. AMOS 7:1-9 I think everybody here knows how much I enjoy sports. Mostly football, but I like other sports too. I like watching NASCAR. I’m a frustrated ...read more

    One Accord

     | 7,096 views

    As a pastor I find this verse of scripture amazing. Why? Because this verse tells us two amazing things: the New Testament church was in ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE.

    Accomplishing either one of these would be marvelous, but to accomplish both is astounding. Illus: Occasionally, many churches have a “NO EXCUSE SUNDAY,” trying to get everyone to attend. Before this Sunday arrives, they send out newsletters from the church, stating: • Cots will be placed in the ...read more

    It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 27, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,350 views

    As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Heard about a man having a dream one night that he and the Lord was watching a baseball game. The Lord's ...read more

    Obey God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015
     | 5,420 views

    When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

    Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more

    Jonah ran from the calling of God on his life. We often do the same when God's us to be on Mission with Him.

    Life On The Run From God! Reading: Jonah 1v1-10 As you read the books of 1st and 2nd Kings,…you find that the nation of Israel was in a mess. In fact,…they were in a desperate crisis. King after king over Israel,…except Hezekiah and Josiah,…were corrupt and did not serve the ...read more

    You are a divine hub for delivering God's resources into people's lives. You can't just let that storm shut you down!

    STORMY DELAYS Text: John 19:25-27 The snowstorm hit Chicago on a Saturday, and many of the people stranded at Chicago's O'Hara Airport didn't get out of there until Tuesday. That scene was not unique for O'Hara. I've sat in a plane on the runway for three hours just because brief thunderstorms ...read more

    Using What God Has Given Series

     | 362,514 views

    God gives each of special abilities and expects us to be faithful in using what we’ve been given. Instead of “hiding” our gifts we’re to invest them in kingdom service. There’s no getting around the fact that we are responsible for what we’ve been given

    Using What God Has Given A man from out east had always dreamed of owning a cattle ranch and had finally saved enough money to buy his dream spread in Wyoming. His best friend flew out to visit and asked, “So, what’s the name of your ranch?” His buddy told him that he had a really hard time ...read more

    If you want to be a positive influence on others, don't compromise with the world, take care of your family, be consistent in the way you live your life, but most of all, count on God's grace.

    Peter Falk (1927-2011), who died just a few years ago, will always be remembered for the role he played as an eccentric, sloppy detective in the TV series called “Columbo.” More often than not, he played dumb, but that put his subjects off guard, and he was always able to solve his cases as a ...read more

    This sermon focuses on the importance of training to be like Christ rather than simply trying to be a Christ, and what it looks like in practical terms.

    Good morning. We are continuing to look at this theme of discipleship. Discipleship at Bellevue Christian Church has been defined as ordinary people learning to live everyday life like Jesus. We decided that there are three ways that we become a disciple at Bellevue Christian Church. We gather, ...read more
