    Blessed Are The Meek Series

    Contributed by Kenneth Squires on Aug 24, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,390 views

    Grimaced faces. Hurried living. Curt answers. These are all indicators that someone needs a revival of meekness (gentleness).

    “Blessed are the meek [in spirit], for they will inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5) “28Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew ...read more

    A Harvest Of Peace

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 11, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,565 views

    As gardeners grow beauty, so also we must grow peace: speak truth without prejudice; pass judgments but do something to help the troubled grow; pay attention to our own hearts; and settle for nothing less than Christ as the full truth.

    As if we did not have enough yard work to do at home, my wife and I have taken on a gardening project at the church to which we belong, Montgomery Hills Baptist Church. The landscaping had deteriorated, and so a gardening team was formed to take care of it. My wife volunteered; I got volunteered. ...read more

    Worshiping With Awe & Joy

    based on 237 ratings
     | 21,229 views

    We’re not the audience. God is the audience, & God is watching us as we worship Him. So ask yourself, "Am I glorifying God as I worship here today?”

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Psalm 95:6-8; Isaiah 6:1-5 As we begin this morning, I would like for you to take a quick look at your Sunday Bulletin. The headline on the inside, just above the January 24th date, says, “Morning ...read more

    Many Christians who experience great trials in life often think that there is no hope. Here are 3 reasons why there is hope even in the midst of the most hurting trial that we experience.

    INTRODUCTION: Life on earth is a test. Sounds familiar? Yes, this is a statement from Rick Warren¡¦s The Purpose Driven Life. ¡§You are always being tested. God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment, and even the weather!¡¨ We must ...read more

    Worship As A Way Of Life, Pt. 2 Series

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Dec 6, 2006
     | 3,032 views

    This is a continuation of the first sermon in this four part series on Ps. 26. How do we become true worshippers? Worship has to go beyond the four walls of the church building and into our daily lives

    Last week we began to discover that worship is a total way of life of loving our Lord that will stand up under the scrutiny of God himself: If God were asked to strip all the excess away: • our status in the community, • our promotion at work, • the car/SUV in our driveway • the success of ...read more

    Paul speaks of the correct article of clothing for the committed follower of Jesus Christ.

    Introduction: I. Last week as we looked at “What is Really Important” you may recall that Paul was speaking of his desire to “lay hold” of Christ. A. Simply stated, Paul’s desire was to be so closely identified with Christ, that when people looked at him, all they could see was Christ. B. His ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,455 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    The church in America may be struggling - but the Church of Jesus Christ is doing just fine, thank you. The worse things look, the more likely it is that God is about to do something amazing.

    Ray Bakke, the Executive Director of International Urban Associates, tells a great story from World War II. An American named MacDonald and a Scottish chaplain bailed out behind German lines, were captured and put into a prison camp, with MacDonald in the American barracks and the chaplain with ...read more

    Today is September 12th here in Sydney, which means that in the USA it is September 11th - around 4.30pm in the afternoon if you live on the West Coast and 7.30pm if you live on the East Coast, and somewhere in between those times if you live somewhere in

    OPEN: I recently read the true story about a preacher who was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed one man by the hand and pulled him aside.
