    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Apr 3, 2014
     | 6,028 views

    Why did Jesus cry at His party on Palm Sunday?

    It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To Luke 19:29-44 Introduction When Lesley Gore wrote the song, “It’s My Party” several decades ago, it was about a girl who got betrayed by her best friend who took her guy.

    “who Do You Say That I Am?” Series

     | 9,335 views

    We learn three truths as we consider our Lord's dialogue with Simon Peter when He asked, "Who do you say that I am?"

    When Jesus asked this question of His disciples, it was Peter who provided the answer Jesus wanted to hear. In what Jesus said to Peter afterwards, we learn three valuable truths. 1. Knowing Christ comes from the revelation of God - v. 17 Many today say they know who Jesus is. But what they say ...read more

    A sermon that begins a series on the community of the church (Material adapted from introduction of Daniel Overdorf's book, Rediscovering Community, from College Press)

    HoHum: It’s popular today to meet with friends at a coffee shop and call it “church.” In some cases it is but most of the time it isn’t. It’s difficult to stand in defense of the church when there are so many examples of dysfunctional churches around us. But ...read more

     | 5,299 views

    Mothers Day sermon on the comfort and compassion of God, which is described in Scripture as a mother's love.

    I was having coffee with a few fellow Army chaplains, and we started telling “mother-in-law jokes.” One of the chaplains was just sitting quietly, listening to our dumb jokes. He finally spoke up: “Well you know, my wife’s mother-in-law is pretty nice.” Since ...read more

    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,762 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    "What If No One Told The Story?"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,570 views

    So God entrusted the greatest message ever sent from heaven to a bunch of smelly, uncouth shepherds. It shouldn’t surprise us because from the beginning of time he has come to lift up those who have found themselves at the bottom of the ladder.

    What if no one told the Story? Luke 2:8-20 Surveys are done on just about every subject now. One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men? Most people who answered the question said ...read more

    Some mothers give their self to their children. Others give their children to themselves. God's kind of Mother does this.

    God's Kind of Mother 1 Kings 3:16-28 Today is a very special day… a day when we honor and pay respect to a very special person ... our Mothers. To use the words of Abraham Lincoln, "It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this" Mother‘s Day began in Virginia, back ...read more

    Yes, God has names. Specific, beautiful, matchless names. We start the series with the name He uses to introduce Himself -- "I AM".

    The Names of God: Jehovah, the “I AM” I have many names. The name I was born with is Paul Michael Basehore Junior. As a child I was called “PJ”, for “Paul Junior”. In high school, my physics teacher called me “Basehore, Long Island”. In college I ...read more

    God would have us boast about our church and encourage each other. He would not have us criticize & shame one another. Churches that encourage one another bring refreshment to all who enter their fellowship.

    Sermon for Super Bowl Sunday. Baptism and Communion are two things Christ meant to unite us. When people are able to look beyond their differences and come together to celebrate these holy sacraments then it is the greatest "Touchdown" in history.

    Making a Touchdown “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have ...read more

     | 7,371 views

    When we do God's work, we can expect opposition. We don't have to be discouraged. God will finish what He has started.

    We started Ezra 1 with the move of God and the edict of King Cyrus, and the start of a long and difficult journey for the exiles returning back to Jerusalem. • In Ezra 2 we have the list of the returning exiles, by families and towns, and the various roles they play. • In Ezra 3 we saw the altar ...read more

     | 3,063 views

    Paul has to tell them that he speaks out of the fullness of his heart, that if his mouth has been opened with an unusual frankness it is because his heart has felt more than common sympathy for them.

    Betrayal In Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 7, 2018
     | 5,781 views

    Following the agony Jesus endured in Gethsemane, Judas led the multitude there to arrest Him. Having all power, Jesus could have resisted, and yet He submitted to the Father's will. He endured Calvary for you and me!

    Betrayal in Gethsemane Mark 14: 43-52 The events of this faithful night are rapidly unfolding. Having departed the Upper Room with the eleven, Jesus had made His way to the Garden of Gethsemane. Knowing what was soon to come, Jesus spent some intimate time in prayer with the Father. We cannot ...read more
