    Love Or Cosmetology? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

    Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

    Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more

    "o Come, O Come, Emmanuel" Series

    I have always wanted to so an Advent series based on traditional Christmas carols/hymns. We've gotten so used to them that I think we miss the depth of the theology contained within in them. One of the most ancient is the beautiful hymn that contains the ancient names of Jesus.

    I love the way that Pastor and author Robert J. Morgan describes hymns: “Hymns help us praise God. They’re shafts of brilliant sunlight through the clouds. They provide an almost mystical connection with the endless anthems of praise raising at this very moment before the heavenly throne. They ...read more

    The Bible urges, "Pray without ceasing." But how do we do that? Well, we can start by giving God our waking thoughts, our waiting thoughts, our worrying thoughts, and our waning thoughts.

    Prayer (3) Scott Bayles, pastor Adapted from a sermon by Max Lucado titled “Have you Prayed About It?” Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/15/2015 Two weeks ago we began this short series on prayer. Like I said before, we all pray. According to a poll reported in USA Today, nine out of ten ...read more

    The media is full of “heart-healthy” tips that we should follow, but even more importantly are the efforts we make to safeguard our spiritual hearts, or what Solomon calls the wellspring of our spiritual life. Learn more about this battle for our hearts in this Sunday’s message.

    The Battle for the Heart Introduction Last week we looked at the battle for our minds, and I ended saying, “That while the battle we are in is spiritual, the primary ground that this battle is fought is in our minds.

    God's Spirit Is Poured Onto A Wilderness Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jun 5, 2022
     | 5,929 views

    The Spirit is poured out from on high, “and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field.” It’s like the change from a dry desert into garden land. When God sends his Spirit, He begins to produce good fruits. That’s the sure effect of his work: a harvest for God.

    If you looked back on the thirty-two chapters of Isaiah before our text, what would stand out about the people of God? How could we describe the nation of Judah in this book, and what they’ve shown themselves to be like? It’s not a flattering picture. Back in the very first chapter, the very first ...read more

    In the Bible, people often fasted when they were serious about getting direction (or a vision) from God. Who fasted in the Bible, and why should we?
