    Who Can I Hate?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jan 7, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 2,528 views

    This is about loving our enemies.

    Read Matthew 5:43-48. This is yet another hard saying of the Sermon on the Mount. This goes beyond the revenge we looked at last week. Jesus said that we shouldn’t seek revenge. Okay, fine. I’d love to take revenge, but I won’t. Now he says that I have to love them. Isn’t it enough that I ...read more

     | 8,322 views

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Joy is a big word this time of year. In the song “How Great Our Joy,” we sing “Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!” seemingly over and over. We have “Joy to the World,” “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You,” “Good Christian Men, Rejoice.” We talk of spreading “Christmas joy.” Where does Christmas joy come ...read more

    People strive to find meaning in "things", feeling their current existence is insignificant. They forget that God is the God of the insignificant!

    "When you’re famous enough for fools to want your old socks" (Or "The God of the insignificant") Job 8:7 "Though your beginning was insignificant, yet your end will increase greatly." (NAS) Browsing through the business section of the Sunday Times of 12/12/99, I came across an article that ...read more

    Proper Usage Of The Church Treasury

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 38 ratings
     | 8,464 views

    This is an examination of how the early Church used the monetary funds contributed by its members. The practice of the early Church, under the directions of the Apostles, gives us a pattern to follow today.

    Proper Use of the Church Treasury It is proper and perfectly Scriptural for Christians in a community to put money in a common fund. There has never been a great deal of disagreement among brethren over this matter. Christians generally agree that it is right to contribute to a general fund to ...read more

    Are we willing to bear the cross of Jesus even in the face of persecution?

    I have thought long and hard about today’s sermon. This particular topic has been mulling around in my mind for several months. In light of certain incidents over the past few weeks, that “still small voice” down inside told me that now is the right time. Several phrases in today’s gospel ...read more

    Enjoy the season of Christmas, but remember that the season isn’t about the mall. It is about Jesus Christ.

    Christmas at the Mall Matthew 2:1-12 December 2, 2007 Now this is my own personal opinion, but I believe that one of the most fearsome places in Fort Wayne is Glenbrook Mall. I go to the mall and it takes me about 15 minutes to reach my limit. When Toni drags me to the mall, I generally end up ...read more

    Heavenly Wisdom Not Earthly Wisdom Series

    These verses put our hearts in the dock. God wants to cast out earthly unspiritual wisdom. He wants us full of his heavenly, considerate, merciful wisdom.

    (This illustration comes from Simon Coupland’s Book Spicing up your speaking): Robert Greene wrote a self-help manual for people who want to be amongst life’s winners. He called it ‘The 48 laws of Power’. Here are some of his 48 laws: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies. ...read more
