    Thanksgiving - Enjoy The Donut

    Contributed by Lane Hastie on Jul 29, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,049 views

    This simple sermon is a great visual expression of Thanksgiving that listeners of all ages can immediately relate to and will remember long after the sermon is finished.

    “As you go through life, make this your goal...look at the donut and not the hole.” Donuts are great! Wouldn’t it be sad if you focused your attention on the hole in the middle. Wouldn’t you miss out? Wouldn’t it be just a wee bit silly to complain about the hole? What a sad mistake it would ...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 people of that day were unbelievably wicked, but was there a chance God would have spared them? Did God want to? And what can the flood tells us about the coming judgment at the end of time when Jesus returns?

    Someone put together a list entitled: "All I Really Need To Know I Learned From Noah's Ark" o Noah didn't wait for his ship to come in, he built one. o Plan ahead.

    In this lesson we examine the ministry of John the Baptist and look at what constitutes a faithful ministry.

    Scripture The first two chapters of Luke’s Gospel deal with the birth narratives of John the Baptist and his relative, Jesus Christ.

    Maybe the future of our country looks uncertain; or we are living under oppressive leadership. But when we recognize that God is still on the throne, we find the confidence necessary to carry on with boldness!

    I wish to begin our message by sharing something about the time in which Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived. The Nazi regime ascended to power on January 30, 1933. “Two days after Hitler was installed as Chancellor, Bonhoeffer delivered a radio address in which he attacked Hitler and warned Germany ...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.

    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

    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
