  • "The Comparison Trap" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 21, 2017
     | 5,502 views

    This passage is basically a biography, a spiritual biography of Paul’s life. I think it would begin with a statement like this----I am absolutely satisfied with Jesus but in no way am I satisfied with myself.

    THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS “The Comparison Trap” Philippians 3:12-4:1 One of my heroes in the NT is the apostle Paul. If anyone had the right to brag, it would be him. Think about it... • Jesus appeared to Paul when he was traveling on the road to Damascus. They had a conversation and then Paul was ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,137 views

    As we think about this event, it makes sense to me that there are four groups of people present at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and each of them have a different motivation for being there and sheds light on their hearts.

    WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? JOHN 12:12-19 [Palm Sunday 2016] INTRODUCTION… cnn.com/2016/03/13/politics/thomas-dimassimo-donald-trump-protester-interview/ It is election season so there is much going on in the news about the candidates and the rallies that they hold. I heard about a rally that ...read more

     | 1,342 views

    The myth we want to talk about today: “God Really Doesn’t Care”. This is a sensitive topic because most of the time when we think this way we are going through a difficult trial.

    - Myths Some Christians Believe - God Doesn’t Really Care Introduction We are in a series called Myths Some Christians Believe. The myths we have covered so far include: God Won’t Give Me More Than I Can Handle, God Just Wants Me to Be Happy, I Could Never Forgive that Person, and Follow Your ...read more

  • Since I'm Saved By Grace, Can’t I Do Anything I Want? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2024
     | 1,103 views

    Can you think of someone who says they are a Christian but treats obeying God as optional? Many Americans hear about the cross and God’s grace and automatically believe they can do whatever they want.

    This morning, I want to answer this question, “What Good Is It to Obey God?” We are focusing on four habits/attitudes that every family should have in this series. Families are so much fun. Teenagers are so much fun! I recently watched a funny compilation by Chip Leighton, a father of two who has ...read more

  • "Will Reformation Replace All Hallowed Eve?”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Oct 22, 2024
     | 538 views

    We are not very inclined to think of Martin Luther as a hymn-writer, and yet, the great Reformer was in this gift of music and wrote some 37 hymns. Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the first Lutheran song book.

    In Jesus Holy Name October 27, 2024 Text: Romans 3:23 Redeemer “Will Reformation Replace All Hallowed Eve?” This year Lutherans around the world will be celebrating Reformation while the rest of the world will be celebrating an ancient traditions we call Halloween. I doubt ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,957 views

    Moses didn't want to do what God asked. He didn't think he was worthy or capable... and he was right. So what made the difference in his life?

    Years ago there was a comedian named Milton Berle who wrote this poem: “I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once ...read more

  • The Way Up Is Down: Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on Mar 7, 2016
     | 11,503 views

    However, for many people, serving doesn't conjure up a positive image. Instead, they think of endless menial chores, cleaning up other people's messes, and catering to their vain whims. Yet the New Testament calls us to become servants of one another.

    What do you think of when you hear the word serve? No, I don't mean the opening hit of the racket in a tennis match. I'm not even talking about your waiter or waitress at Shiela’s. I mean what does a servant look like? What picture comes to mind? It's possible that you have a positive image. ...read more

  • What The Bible Says About Homosexuality

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,525 views

    God's timeless revelation -- His Word -- does not change. We live in a day of situational ethics and relative truth. The world is hearing a false message about what God thinks about homosexuality. We must tell them "the whole counsel of God."

    WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY I. THE CLEAR BIBLICAL PATTERN FOR SEXUALITY Homosexuality is being here addressed because it is the subject of a lot of false teaching and mistruth about what the Bible has to say. You and I can't be pleasing to God if we're practicing sexual sin, that is, ...read more

  • Constant Cravings Series

    Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Apr 30, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,233 views

    The 10th commandment is as comprehensive as the first. Perhaps more than any other, it focuses on the interior of the human heart. It is not concerned so much with what we do, but with what we think. It is less about action and more about attitude

    Constant Cravings: The Tenth Commandment Exodus 20: 1-17 I grew up in a house with one other sibling, a brother, Trae. Actually his name is Frank William Houck the Third but we have always called him Trae. He was the one that I fought with, and rode bikes with, and fought with and built forts ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 467 views

    Life is full of choices. Some choices seem small—what to eat, what to wear—but others are life-altering. The Bible makes it clear: We all have a decision to make—will we choose sin, which leads to death, or will we choose God’s free gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ?

    Go! And Receive the Gift of Life - Romans 6:23 & Romans 10:9 Introduction: The Greatest Choice You Will Ever Make Life is full of choices.

     | 136,181 views

    In amazement, we wonder, "What's the matter with them? Were they hard of hearing? Why didn't they get the message? Why didn't they understand?" I think there are several answers to that question.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) A. The ability to make intelligent & correct decisions is one of the great secrets of successful Christian living. ILL. Even if you aren't a sports fan I think you'll appreciate this story about a college ...read more

     | 5,713 views

    Is it possible to know for sure that you are on your way to heaven? The writer of Hebrews gives five ominous warnings to those who may be deceived into thinking that they are Christians. But he is careful to also show us that we CAN know for sure if we

     | 20,637 views

    When I finished college I rejoiced, thinking that at last I would be free of tests - that I would never have to take another. But I discovered that I was just starting a time of testing. In every stage of life there are tests...

  • Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022
     | 4,271 views

    Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

    Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more

  • Sharing Your Money Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Aug 24, 2005
    based on 49 ratings
     | 12,304 views

    I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

    Maybe you’ve put something in the basket and then wondered, “What did I just do. I want to go get it back!” For sure, we’re glad that a camera is not fixed on us when we give. We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more
