    May I dare to be a prophet today? There is so much that is right in our land, but allow me for a moment to look at the other side - at 3 temptations that I think Americans are facing.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2021) TEXT: Acts 7:51-52; Luke 13:34 Feelings of patriotism tend to flow rather freely at this time of the year. When we sing the "Star Spangled Banner," or hear a choir sing about America & the ...read more

     | 9,132 views

    Trust in the providence of God when you can't feel the presence of God.

    Recently, someone posted a picture of me and my second-grade classmates. In case you’re wondering, I’m the burly and buff looking guy on the top left (next to the star). I noticed I’m not smiling which goes along with my thug-life, tough-guy image. This picture reminded me of an alarm system my ...read more

  • The Birth Of A Church Series

     | 2,902 views

    I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

    We begin a new series today. Our church celebrates its 125th year anniversary. We have some things planned for later this year. We also begin a new book: 1 Corinthians. Many of you may think it odd to begin journey of a book of the Bible and then focus on Acts. Yet, Luke tells us the beginnings of ...read more

  • A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 24, 2021
     | 2,215 views

    A unanimous apostolic plan that went awry, Jewish rumors, gentile riots, and an apostle getting a ride on Roman soldiers. The purpose of the Christian life is not to avoid problems; indeed, God can sometimes use our problems to further His plans.

    A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? (Acts 21:17-40) 1. The invention of Post-it notes is interesting. What seemed like a failure was turned to a great success: In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver at the 3M company created a very weak adhesive that would peel off when removed from any surface. ...read more

  • Conflict Resolution

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Sep 9, 2002
    based on 55 ratings
     | 9,943 views

    Jesus in Mt 18 offers us three routes to “conflict resolution” – similar in many ways to the three judicial routes that we have today. 1. The “ Out of Court” settlement 2. “Arbitration” in camera and 3. The full blown Confrontation in Open Court

    Sharrington/ Hunworth 08-09-02 Mt 18:15-20 Conflict Resolution This morning’s Gospel reading from Mt. 18 verses 15-20 is all about handling personal conflict in church. The text seen in isolation - reads rather like a legal manual on how to deal with someone else’s’ sin and what steps we need to ...read more

    Give God glory by telling the story of God’s grace in your life.

    How many of you have had a root canal? I had my third one on Monday. Do you feel my pain? To say they’re unpleasant is an understatement. Actually, since becoming a member of the root canal club, I can give testimony that the thought of having a root canal is more painful than the actual ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,196 views

    Ephesians 2:11-12 shows us that we were alienated from God and the people of God.

    Scripture We are currently in a series of sermons on Ephesians 2 that I am calling, “God’s Plan of Reconciliation.” We live in a world of alienation. We see it in politics, in race relationships, in economics, in the media, and, of course, in religion. I typed the word “alienation” in Google ...read more

    Identity determines destiny.

    “ A Question of Identity” Acts 21:37-22:21 July 20, 2008 Identity determines destiny. Now, hold onto that thought; I fully recognize that some folks will interpret that statement differently than others. Some of us have seen our share of televangelists who jettison the Word of God ...read more

    God accomplishes His purposes through persecution.

    Today we’ll discover how God accomplishes His purposes through persecution. When we think about persecution, we usually think of believers in closed countries or what happens to missionaries. Let me share with you a true story. In 1921, a missionary couple named David and Svea Flood went from ...read more

    As Jesus did in his home town, we must preach the truth about marriage, even at some risk.

    March 16, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis The prophetic call, whether to Elisha, Jesus, the apostles or you and me, is a call to take risks in order to reduce the greatest risk–that men and women lose their eternal souls. Here, Jesus tells the truth about his fellow Jews to the Jews and almost pays ...read more

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002
    based on 128 ratings
     | 17,891 views

    The account of Nicodemus’ conversion refutes those who say: "I have always been saved, I can’t remember ever being lost" and proclaims "You must be born again!"

    TRUTHS WE LEARN FROM NICODEMUS "There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, ’Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these miracles that You do unless God is with him." John 3:1-2.
