    The Wealthiest Place On Earth

    Contributed by Neal Gracey on Apr 3, 2024

     | 1,690 views

    Where is the wealthiest place on earth? The Cemetery! Why the cemetery? Because in the cemetery are books that were never written, and cures that were never discovered. Money never spent.

    Die Empty – R. Neal Gracey May 5, 2019 Where is the wealthiest place on earth? The Cemetery! Why the cemetery? Because in the cemetery are books that were never written, and cures that were never discovered. The graveyard is filled with music, we’ve never heard. The cemetery is filled ...read more

    Responding To Rejection

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,006 views

    When we are ignored or face rejection, how must we respond? Most of us may show our frustrations and react in an un-Christ-like manner.

    Opening illustration: The anti-God bumper stickers covering the car seized the attention of a university professor. As a former atheist, himself, the professor thought perhaps the owner wanted to make believers angry. “The anger helps the atheist to justify his atheism,” he explained. Then he ...read more

    David Volunteered

     | 1,961 views

    There was no question that David was the underdog. But there was also no question about God’s help. How do we face our giants? There were odds, there was opposition and there was Divine help.

    DAVID VOLUNTEERED Text: 1 Samuel 17:38 - 50 When I was a kid, I was a crack shot with a sling shot. My grandfather, Cecil had a patent on a couple of sling shots he designed. He designed sling shots that you could literally hunt deer with using an arrow. It was one of his sling shots that ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #5

    We Christians recognize that we can do very little about the leadership in our government. If we could, we would have done something a long time ago.

    Someone once said in humor, “We have the best politicians that money can buy!” But what is sad about this humor, is that many times when it comes to our public officials it is the truth. Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more

    It's Our Fault

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 18, 2024
     | 1,233 views

    How many Churches… How many Christians have let the culture normalize sin and they have just adapted themselves to it. This sermon will help us deal with the consequences of condoning sin and what we should do to avoid it.

    God hates sin, shouldn’t we? Jesus died to offer us forgiveness for our sins, not so we would have a free pass to keep on sinning, He didn’t die on that cross so we could receive a “Get out of Hell Free” card… But here we are a couple of thousand years later watching sin become glorified, watching ...read more

    One of my favorite characters of the Christmas story is Simeon. He heard the "voice of Jesus" by the Holy Spirit. When you hear the Spirit give you a direction, you are hearing the voice of Jesus. The scriptures can also be "a voice of Jesus" (Jesus Speaks Leonard Sweet)

    Camels And Needles

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 8, 2025
     | 625 views

    Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Totally impossible - and yet, not for God. We explore the idea in a children's / family service with the help of some glass ships in glass bottles.

    THIS WAS A TALK FOR A FAMILY SERVICE, GIVEN IN THREE PARTS. PART 1: A glass ship in a glass bottle Perhaps you have a jug at home that’s made of Pyrex.

    The main point of this sermon is to emphasize the power of acceleration, the importance of executing God's plan, and the blessings that come from obeying the Lord, as demonstrated in the story of David's anointing in 1 Samuel.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to dive into an incredible story from the book of 1 Samuel, where we'll discover the power of acceleration, the necessity of execution, and the blessing of obedience.
