    based on 1 rating
     | 4,217 views

    Jesus reveals the real problem with people and churches with this letter to the Laodiceans. The real problem is an inability to see yourself as God sees you.

    Intro: This letter to the church of Laodicea reveals to us what really makes Jesus sick. What we might call the church is the First Church of the Churning stomach.

     | 5,980 views

    Is there a yardstick for success? How do we measure it what are the gradations? God’s word and God’s will is the clear measure for success. The book of Joshua clearly tells us as a church and individuals how to have spirtual success.

    Intro: What does tomorrow hold for Perche? Can we find it in a sliver ball? Is it hidden in a fortune cookie? Can the lucky eight ball tell us? No none of those are very useful. However, God’s word clearly tells us what lies ahead. Joshua chapter one explains that what lies ahead for Perche ...read more

    In 2 Chronicles 7.14 we find a devine blue print for revival. What we find in the blue print is a conditional statment If Then. God alwasys fulfills His thens but will we as the people of God fulfill our responsibility of the "If."

    Intro: We need revival? Bro Bill we are working we had a successful VBS, we have had some salvations and baptisms. Why on earth would we need revival? Lets try and define what true revival is.

    based on 25 ratings

    New years resolutions are promises most often broken. We as human beings do not in ourselves have the power to keep all our promises. But God as the ever true, just, creator keeps His promises to others and us, always.

    Intro: New Year’s resolutions are promises that are more often broken than kept. We as human beings do not in ourselves have the power to keep our promises or covenants.

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Feb 4, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,826 views

    So we come to the truth Stewardship Means more than dollars and cents. Stewardship is recognizing God’s ownership and our position. It is also realizing our responsibility as managers of what God has given us.

    Intro: 1 Peter is a wonderful letter written to no one specific person or church. It is instead written to all the churches in Asia Minor or modern day turkey. It is written to churches that are experiencing suffering at the hands of others. So some would say this does not apply to the church ...read more

    Intro: As we transition into this new year a question has been on my mind. Did I make the most of the last year. It is not a question for the faint at heart.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 41,159 views

    What moves the heart of God. If we like John could place our heads on His chest what would God’s heartbeat sound like?

    Intro: Have you ever laid you head down on someone’s chest and heard their heartbeat. If you were to do that you had to be pretty close to the individual whose heart you heard. You don’t just go up to someone on the street and say “May I listen to your heart?” I can only begin to imagine the ...read more

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Aug 23, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,186 views

    The Story of the widows mite shows us what it really means to give. It is not some percentage that we are required to give. Instead the widows meager offering shows how we are to give all to our Great God.

    Intro: One Sunday in church a little boy took off his tie and put it into the offering plate. “What are you doing?” asked his mother. “The preacher told us to give our ties and offerings.” It is apparent that the young boy misunderstood what the preacher said. It is also apparent today in ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 4,026 views

    It’s not breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s the other meal that each of us as believers should partake of every day. It’s a three-course meal: the WORD, WILL, and WORK of God.

    INTRODUCTION: I like to eat! One look at me will reveal that I’m not preaching; I’m telling the truth!! I like good food. I think my favorite is Chinese.

    based on 70 ratings
     | 22,484 views

    First message in the series "God’s Lost and Found" from Luke 15. This message is deals with the fact that all are lost sheep in need of the Good Shepherd to find and carry them to the safety of the sheepfold.

    INTRODUCTION: Luke chapter 15 is what I like to call “God’s Lost and Found Chapter”. It is not three separate parables but rather one parable (v. 3) with three parts. Jesus uses three illustrations in this chapter to answer the Scribes’ and Pharisees’ accusation that He associated with ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,678 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more
