    Happy Or Holy?

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jun 9, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,618 views

    Is God’s overriding purpose in our lives to make us happy, or to make us holy?

    What is God’s purpose for your life? Have you ever wondered about that? I’m not referring to questions like, what career should you follow, or whom should you marry, or how many children should you have. I’m talking about the big picture – what is God’s overriding goal, His primary purpose, for the ...read more

    Deepseated shame and objective guilt arise from a self-serving spirit, but the Cross delivers us from both and frees us to live out of gratitude.

    Mark it down. Memorize this. Engrave it somewhere. It is an ironclad rule. This will always happen: when it is the least convenient for you to respond, someone will want you to respond. When it is nearly impossible for you to get up and do what someone wants you to do, that is the very moment ...read more

    Fourfold purpose of the church: 1)Worship God 2) Show love for others 3)Proclaim the Gospel 4)Help Christian grow in their faith.

    A few weeks ago a woman called the church office. She said she had heard some real good things about our congregation and was interested in attending, but she had one concern. Someone had told her that you had to pay money, annual dues, if you wanted to come to this church. Barb, the church ...read more

    The Man Who Hated Christmas

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 125 ratings
     | 11,960 views

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    Nothing But The Truth

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 116 ratings
     | 9,891 views

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

    Is The Price Too High?"

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 12,591 views

    today the question we look at is this: Is the price of being a Christian too high?

    Whenever I buy something, whether it is a car or a gallon of milk, I always check the price. The question always is: Am I willing to pay this amount, or is the price too high? If I stop at a gas station to get a gallon of milk, and see a price of $3, I think: OK, I could pick it up for 20 cents ...read more

    The Price Of Truth

    based on 76 ratings
     | 8,242 views

    A willingness to speak the truth, even if that truth is not popular, is a great virtue.

    One of my favorite stories is The Emperor's New Clothes. It is the tale about an Emperor who was swindled by a supposed tailor. The man claims to sew a new, special suit for the Emperor. It is special because only those who are wise will see the clothes, while those who are foolish will find them ...read more

    Since we know God is sovereign we don't have to worry in times of trouble (1 week after presidential election chaos)

    "Fellow citizens! Clouds and darkness are round about Him. The dark waters of the seas and stars of the skies form His pavilion. Justice and judgment are the establishment of His throne. Mercy and truth go before His face. Fellow citizens, God still reigns! He will enable the government in ...read more

    Jesus wants what you have, and who you are: when you don’t take the place in the Body of Christ that God has designed for you, that place remains empty.

    You have perhaps experienced as I have, that life can be humbling sometime. A five-year-old was sitting with her grandfather in her room one day, and she asked him, “Grandpa, did God make you?” “Yes, child,” came the reply. “God made me.” The child paused for a moment, and then asked, “And ...read more

    This sermon was preached to introduce our LIFE Groups to the congregation

    They were the ultimate church plant. They started with 11, grew to 120, then to 3000. Not bad, as a matter of fact very good. But how did they do it? I guess that question has to be asked by anyone who is even remotely interested in church growth. What was the secret that they had that allowed ...read more

    Christians need to be hard-working people.

    What does it take for Christianity to come out inside of hiding from the world in its closet

    I grew up in a home where both my parents smoked. You know how it is when you grow up in it, you get used to the smell and don’t even recognize it. I never really recognized it until Laura and I were married and moved away from home. We didn’t smoke, so when we would go over to the house to ...read more
