    Only Love

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 20, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,239 views

    A sermon around Christmas time from a Christmas card. "Only love could leave heaven for a stable. Only humility could use a donkey as a throne. Only hope could trade a crown of gold for one of thorns. Only Jesus could give up everything He deserved, T

    HoHum: A British businessman is credited with creating the Christmas card in 1843 — as a way to save time. Too busy to write a personal holiday greeting, Henry Cole hired a well-known London artist to design a card he could send to all his acquaintances. Louis Prang, a German immigrant, is ...read more

    The Most Valuable Thing In The World Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 8, 2024

     | 4,047 views

    Do you believe God's wisdom is more valuable than gold? How committed are you to asking for God's wisdom and to seeking after God's wisdom. But even more importantly, how committed are you to applying God's wisdom?

    A. The story is told about an angel that appeared at a faculty meeting and told the dean, “In return for your unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward you with one of the following: infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty. Which one will you choose?” 1. Without hesitation, the dean ...read more

    The Road To Happiness, Joy And Peace

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 31, 2022
     | 3,428 views

    The multitude, like many today had gotten their priorities confused. So much time is spent worrying about "things" that we lose sight of what truly matters and leads to happiness. We seek gold while dismissing God. We seek health while neglecting holiness.

    Sermon – The Road To Happiness Luke 6:20-26 “And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate ...read more

    I Am The Good Shepherd Series

     | 1,235 views

    Although trust can be difficult to find in this fallen world that is not our true home and is rarer than silver or gold, we can trust our Good Shepherd who loves us unconditionally. From Him, we can build relationships filled with trust, love, and compassion with those around us.

    I am the Good Shepherd John 10:11-18 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 “Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair” unknown author We live in a world where trust if often sought, rarely received, and often thrown away in a garbage heap ...read more

    The Golden Rule

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 12, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 18,093 views

    The Golden Rule has always been popular. In fact, the reason it’s called the Golden Rule is because a Roman emperor, Alexander Severus, had this saying of Jesus engraved on his wall in gold. So let’s look at this saying of Jesus called, ‘the Golden Rule'.

    THE GOLDEN RULE INTRODUCTION: A rather legalistic Seminary student wanted to have a Scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote the Bible, book, chapter and verse to okay his actions. He did all right with that until he began to fall in love with a ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,020 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 22 – No Complaint Against God But Self Examination Necessary; Repentance And Confession - Chapter 3:39-43 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025
     | 181 views

    The survivors of the Babylonian destruction take stock and see that their sins brought the Babylonian tragedy on them. They endured punishment, but they turn to confession. We look at man’s justice against God’s justice. Actions have consequences. God’s anger pursued them.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 22 – NO COMPLAINT AGAINST GOD BUT SELF EXAMINATION NECESSARY; REPENTANCE AND CONFESSION - CHAPTER 3:39-43 Last time we finished with the way God dispenses good and ill (or good and evil) according to His sovereignty and the next verse, 39, follows on from that and ...read more

    What is heaven like, and why would I want to go there?

    A young boy would often go home from his friend’s house at night and - because it was the shortest route – he’d always walk thru the cemetery. When he was asked if he was ever afraid of going thru the graveyard at night he responded “No. My home is just on the other side.” He wasn’t afraid ...read more

    Adoration Of God Alone

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020
     | 4,755 views

    The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?

    Adoration of God Alone Today we will be reading from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Adoration. I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy!

    We examine the strongholds operating in Peter and John when they were confronted by the religious leaders

    The last time we were together, we began looking at ways of thinking that the Apostle Paul describes as “strong holds.” Found only in 2 Corinthians 10:4, “strongholds” are wrong thoughts and beliefs about God that have been emotionally hardwired into our minds that hinder, what 2 Timothy 2:4 ...read more

    The Ultimate Christian Attainment: Union With God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 19, 2024
     | 797 views

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

    Advent 2021 - Christmas Sunday - Pointing Fingers

     | 2,854 views

    Is it OK to point literally or figuratively? There is a lot of pointing going on in the nativity story, the Gospels, the rest of the New Testament and in the Old Testament. What is the pointing all about? It's all about Jesus!
