  • Jesus, The Good Shepherd

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 10, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,381 views

    Jesus does not protect those he loves from bad things happening, but uses bad things to fulfill his plans for our lives. When we suffer, he is glad not because we are suffering, but because through suffering we have the chance to grow in faith.

    A mother was once asked by a census-taker how many children she had. She replied, “Well, there’s Billy and Harry and Martha and…”. “Never mind the names,” the man interrupted, “Just give me the numbers”. The mother angrily replied, “They ...read more

  • Taxes Paid Series

     | 11,114 views

    What we have in this story is an account of Jesus paying tribute money. He is in Capernaum, which is His headquarters, and where he lived most of the time. The “temple tax” was collected annually, from every Jew over twenty, for the support of the templ

    -AD 29- Galilee Lesson: Taxes Paid (Exodus 30:11-15) Matthew 17:24-27 Moses is the one who began the practice of collecting taxes. He ordered that a tax should be levied against the Israelites, so much a head, to support the tabernacle. Jesus also paid tribute money, to keep from offending ...read more

  • What Am I Supposed To Do With My Unanswered Questions?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2017
     | 5,888 views

    This message focuses on Luke 2:6-7 and the unanswered questions that Mary and Joseph must have had as they end up in with no decent place to stay when the baby comes. How could God be with them and she have to put the baby in a manger?

    SOME OF MARY AND JOSEPH'S QUESTIONS: “God, why have the birth so far from home?” “God, why didn’t You provide a place for us to stay?” “God, how can this be the place for the miracle child to be born?” - Luke 2:6-7. - I’m sure when the angel visited Mary and told her that she’d be carrying this ...read more

    John the Baptist helps us get ready for Advent. He points us to baptism, repentance, and the Mighty One, Jesus Christ. This sermon looks at the text and then shifts into an application with two illustrations.

    To borrow the words of Meredith Wilson: “It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers are consumed. Black Friday is over. Cyber Monday and Cyber week are finished. This week, we had our first real taste of winter and Minnesota weather ...read more

     | 5,911 views

    A perspective of the OT prophets. They waited for centuries before this would be fulfilled.

    “All I want for Christmas is a Savior” Micah 5:1-2 and Isaiah 7:14 It is hard to imagine that Christmas is now just three weeks away. Three short weeks. It’s that time of year when people start asking the question-hey-what do you want for Christmas and someone may respond by saying “well, all I ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Sep 14, 2018
     | 8,985 views

    Do we really understand that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a GLOBAL GOSPEL, that Jesus died for the WHOLE WORLD, that the Bible is not a Middle Eastern religious book but it is God’s Word to the WHOLE WORLD?

    Luke 2:49 INTRODUCTION: • The Global Heart of Jesus • Where does America stand in relation to the rest of the world? • Global Population as of September 2018 is 7.6 Billion • America 325.7 Million as of the 2017 census (4.6% of the worlds population) • Global Economy - Overall, the Global ...read more

    A sermon for a Christmas in July worship service.

    “Christmas without Santa” Luke 2:1-20 In my 20 years as a pastor I have preached on this passage once every year. But it’s always the same time of year; I have never preached on the birth of Jesus in July!!! But why not? After-all, as far as the exact time of year Jesus was born--we really ...read more

    Describes situation before Christ and after Christ

    BEFORE THERE WAS A CHRISTMAS INTRODUCTION: Christmas, as we know it, is a rather modern innovation. Christ’s birthday was not celebrated until more than 300 years had gone by, years in which accurate birth records (if there were any) had been lost. The early Church remembered and celebrated ...read more

    God redeems language and people groups by sending scouts willing to take on the giants.

    <The Tootsie roll owl commercial launches the message> Did you know that that commercial is almost 50 years old? It’s memorable. It points to a question, provides a practical experiment and even an answer. However, the wise old owl is only validating his own personal knowledge and experience ...read more

  • Simon The Zealot Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,299 views

    Under different circumstances Simon would run a blade through Matthew, and Matthew would live in fear of Simon, but Jesus makes them partners in the Gospel. A left-winger and a right-winger united in Christ.

    We want to look at an Apostle of whom we would know nothing if the New Testament did not tell us of his political affiliation before he became a believer. If a man was called Simon the Democrat or Simon the Republican, you would not be able to draw many conclusions about him because these terms ...read more

    Does your love need some gasoline?

    I hear a lot of talk about revival. I know many pray for revival and that is definitely a good thing. Many claim a great revival is happening worldwide and while I hope that is true I am a bit incredulous considering what the Bible says and infers about the last days. Luke 18:8 I tell you that ...read more
