    What You Were Called To...

    Contributed by Chad Garrison on Mar 2, 2009
     | 4,191 views

    This was a message that God gave me for our church in a time of transition that was a reminder of God’s Call and Mission for our church, but applies to all God’s Children.

    What you were called to… Jude 1:17-23 This past week I had the privilege to attend our Foursquare National Convention in Houston. For me personally it was great time of renewal and reaffirmation. If you remember correctly we were supposed to begin our “Foundations” series today. Well on the last ...read more

    In the kingdom of God, it is no longer true that "whoever dies with the most toys wins.

    Matthew 6:7-21 “A New Purpose in Life” INTRODUCTION In Greek mythology Narcissus was a hunter from a territory in Central Greece who was renowned for his beauty. He was the son of a river god and a nymph. He was exceptionally proud, in that he disdained those who loved him. ...read more

    By examining the experiences of Leah, the modern church need to learn three basic lessons in order to better minister to people needs.

    Lessons from Leah Genesis 29:31-35 The best teacher is Experience. When nothing else can teach us some of life’s most important questions, Experience can. We should learn from our own experiences, Experience is the best teacher. The lessons we learn from experience we seldom forget. If a ...read more

    The most basic essential for any healthy church is a commitment to hearing, learning, and applying God’s Word.

    Making an Impact: Instructing in God’s Word Since Bible is our “middle” name, I thought it would be a good idea to begin this morning with a little Bible quiz. You guys should do really well on this. Let’s start with an easy one from the Old Testament. 1. Where is the first tennis match ...read more

     | 86,620 views

    You and I were created for community. That’s why our topic this morning is so important. You were made to have intimate relationships, to serve people lavishly, to share the stuff that you have, to build into the lives of the people around you, to have p

    Making an Impact: Caring for Other Believers It’s been said that the church is like a family. I’ve always wondered about this because some of the families I know don’t function all that well. In fact, there were times when I was growing up that I wasn’t the best brother to my sisters… I may have ...read more

    Developing a Vision for Spiritual Growth Ruth 3:1-3, 18 Review: Chapter one shows Naomi is in a bad situation. She has left her own country, lost her husband, lost her two sons and one of her daughters-in-law left her too. In chapter two we find that Naomi and Ruth had returned to Naomi’s ...read more

     | 5,101 views

    As the people of God, we are called to work in partnership with Christ and with each other.

    I am always encouraged when people from congregations across Northern Oho can blend their gifts and energy for the good of the entire district and especially when we can worship together. Hebrews 2:12 says, “In the midst of the congregation I will praise you.” And that is what we want to do this ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,145 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    You And Me In The World

     | 2,474 views

    God has a view of what he expects his children to be. In His view they are a family of priest sent to represent Him in the world.

    You and Me in the world Last week we talked about vision…We tried to see vision via God’s eyes….Which I believe is not limited by the walls of a building or a membership. A church that does not have a vision that extends past the walls or the church property is held back by man made limits and ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,228 views

    A powerful sermon on the true mission of the church, based upon a sermon from the late Dr. E. V. Hill and the iconic skit by Abbot and Costello.

    Who’s On First Luke 19:10 Back in 1986 I heard Rev. E. V. Hill preach at a pastor’s conference. It was great. He preached a sermon he called, “A Spiritual Homerun.” Today I want to use that sermon as a skeleton for my own. E. V. told about preaching at a conference in Lucerne, Switzerland. He ...read more
