    How the fourth commandment commanding observance of the sabbath applies to Christians.

    We’ve got to learn to slow down before it kills us. In 1991 economist Juliet Schor wrote a book called "The Overworked American," where she demonstrated that work hours and stress are at an all time high for us (Bass 1). Today’s full-time employee works an average of 163 more hours than employees ...read more

    based on 51 ratings
     | 13,945 views

    the 8 woes of sin as displayed by the Pharisees in Jesus time. They profess to be the only guide in religion, but are blind to truth and practical Christianity. They strain at gnats and swallow camels.

    Eight Woes Upon The Pharisees Marks of a Pharisee Matthew 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Matthew 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: Matthew 23:2 a [Moses’ seat] Twenty-one Characteristics of Hypocrites 1.

    This sermon uses the tragic events of Sept. 11 and 2 Chron 7:14 to call the Church to repentance.

    Terror from the heavens By Norman Miller preached at New Hope Baptist Church September 16, 2001 September 11, 2001---a day emblazoned in the collective American memory---a day that has burned into my heart an emotional collage of sympathy, anger, grief, love, and, yes, forgiveness.

    Many Christians need to remember to keep their focus on Christ and not forget the day when God ran to us and embraced us.

    An Inviation To Worship Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on May 20, 2003
    based on 258 ratings
     | 77,802 views

    I see three different parts of God’s invitation to worship contained in Psalm 95:A Call to Rejoice (1-5);A Call to Reverence (6-7a); and A Call to Respond (7b-11).

    The Invitation to Worship It’s good to be back! Vacations are wonderful, aren’t they? During our two weeks, we were in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and up in God’s Country. In the second week, we went camping and had a good time ­ well, sort of. Megan, our one-year-old, was not a “Happy Camper.” ...read more

    This morning, as we take a look at Psalm 145, we will see that worship is designed to radically impact our very lives.

    The Impact of Worship I’m thankful for the staff we have at PBC. Our church secretary, Barb, has really done a super job with our weekly bulletin, don’t you think? On the rare occasion that we have a typo, it’s usually my fault for not catching it when I proof it. Other churches are not as ...read more

    Why Do Bad Things Happen? Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003
    based on 78 ratings
     | 27,992 views

    It’s easy to think that bad things happen because God is out to get us. That’s not true. The Bible establishes some reasons why things don’t turn out they way we’d like – personal sin, corporate sin, and evil influences. While we can’t insulate ourselv

    Why Do Bad Things Happen? Brian Bill 4/22/01 I like puns. Here are two are my favorites. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor.

    GOOD FRIDAY, 2002 At this time of day many years ago, Jesus’ body lay in the tomb. Many of His followers were in shock not realizing what had taken place.

    Giving With Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 14,030 views

    God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

    Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together.

    While we often question God’s love, we can rest assured that He has poured out His favor on His people.

    Experiencing God’s Love A man was having a hard time getting out of bed one Sunday morning. “Get up. It’s time to get ready for church!” He just grumbled and replied grumpily, “I don’t want to go to church today. Those people at church don’t like me. I don’t want to go.” She persisted, “You ...read more
