And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children.

    A Mother’s Day Sermon on the realities of life.

    John 15:1-17 Today is Mother’s Day and some see this as just another way to market the US economy. Many children have bought cards and flowers to give to their mothers. Many will spend time on the phone talking to their mothers. Still others may take their mother out for dinner and give them a ...read more

    There are people who seem to say, “Well, here I am. Everybody notice me!” And there are others who say, “There you are. I’ve noticed you.”

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I came across a little ditty that went something like this: Some go to church to laugh & talk, & some go there to walk the walk. Some go to church to meet a friend, & some go there an hour to spend. Some ...read more

    We have life because the grave could not contain it’s prey. Paul told us that Christ conquered even the last enemy - death.

    On Good Friday we spoke on Isaiah 53: 4-6 discussing the Universal Depravity of man and the Universal Sufficiency of Christ. Sometimes Christians find that concept hard to grasp. Dr. Barnhouse used this illustration to portray this simple truth to his congregation and I would like to ...read more

    This is a sermon for communion that points to where our focus should be in all circumstances.

    Sermon 03 December 2000 Luke 24:13-35 Do You Recognize the Messiah? The story of Jesus appearing to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus is one of my favorites because it confuses me and it encourages me. It confuses me because Cleopas and his buddy were kept from recognizing Jesus. Why? In ...read more

    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,481 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    The historical flood points to the spiritual truth of Jesus’ redemption on the cross. This sermon looks at the message we are taught in the flood.

    The Ark - a Portrait of the Cross One thing that is vital to understanding scripture is to keep the end in mind as you study.

     | 7,412 views

    Moses was a mortal, a mediator, a mentor and a man of God.

    A cartoon showed Moses coming down from the top of Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets in his hands. He’s giving a report to the children of Israel and says, “It was hard bargaining — we get the milk and honey, but the anti-adultery clause stays in.” That is seen as bad ...read more

    God's Rx For Discouragement

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 1, 2001
    based on 176 ratings
     | 8,408 views

    Discouragement comes when we focus on the problem rather than God, on the wonders of God rather than the Word of God, on our inadequacies rather than God’s resources.

    We find ourselves at an interesting time of history. Perhaps, more than any other time, we find ourselves polarized as a people. During the world wars the country seemed to come together in patriotic unity, but with the absence of war, and the influx of prosperity, we seemed to have lost ...read more
