    Who Are Our Strangers? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 13, 2004
    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,336 views

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation. It is both attracting and detracting, both including and excluding. I am referring to those moments in the old TV show, when Felix Unger, the neat freak half ...read more

    When we face troubles in our life we should ask God for the wisdom to understand what He is doing in our lives.

    Let Them Ask Text: James 1:5-8 Introduction 1. Illustration: Automaker Henry Ford asked electrical genius Charlie Steinmetz to build the generators for his factory. One day the generators ground to a halt, and the repairmen couldn't find the problem. So Ford called Steinmetz, who tinkered with ...read more

    based on 66 ratings
     | 4,911 views

    An exploration of possible reasons why Jesus’ disciples must leave everything and follow Him – eliminating all but the fact that His call makes sense when we realize that He gave up everything for us.

    Text: Luke 5:1-11, 27-31 Title: Have you heard his call? Topic: Christian Living Theme: Committed Christian Living Purpose: to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness challenging God’s people in my care to commit everything to Jesus as they follow him.

    God Is In Control

    based on 189 ratings
     | 58,701 views

    During that time, I discovered that when a person is able to face terrifying obstacles with the assurance that God is truly in control, an awesome sense of power, strength, assurance, and confidence begins to well up inside your heart.

    God is in Control Psalm 103:19-22 I remember a particular time in my life when I was struggling a bit with discouragement, doubt, fear, and loneliness. I spent many evenings having long conversations with a close friend, to whom I poured out my heart for hours. Many times during these talks, my ...read more

    The Power Of A Personal Pentecost

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 18, 2002
    based on 49 ratings
     | 3,732 views

    In a positional sense there were only two "Pentecosts" mentioned in the Bible recorded in Acts 2 and Acts 10 but a "personal pentecost" is available to every Christian who earnestly seeks the anointing power of the Holy Spirit in their life.

    THE POWER OF A PERSONAL PENTECOST "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Acts 1:8. The Book of Acts records two great "Pentecostal" experiences in the early ...read more

    A Closer Look At Faith Series

    based on 80 ratings
     | 9,187 views

    We always need to be advancing and growing in our faith, but we cannot do anything without faith. Today all things have to make sense and it is not easy to trust God, but faith can move mountains.

    “A Closer Look: Faith” Introduction: We live in a world in which it is hard to have faith. People expect everything to make sense logically and faith very rarely fits into people’s equations. We as the church are supposed to be based and founded on faith. Faith is what keeps us going and ...read more

    God Must Be Crazy

    Contributed by Wann Fanwar on Jan 19, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,793 views

    People understand "crazy" in different ways. We label others as "crazy" for being eccentric or mean or insane or different. God is "crazy" because he loves humanity too much, something that does not make sense.

    God Must Be Crazy! Hosea 11:1-11 At this stage in my life I believe that God is crazy. Some of you reading this will say to me, “You are crazy for saying such things about God.” I will answer you by saying that if you do not think so after reading this sermon then you are the one who is crazy.

    Advent-- a time to prepare for the coming of Christ into our world and lives-- points us to the Christmas miracle! "Christmas for millions is just the holiday season. Are we losing the sense of marvel at the Christmas miracle? Why, this is the most stu

    All over our nation, there is unmistakeable evidence that that there are those who want to bar Christ from Christmas. That’s right, there are mant elites in our nation’s political and educational systems that want to remove our right to celebrate the birth of Jesus. If you don’t believe me, then ...read more

     | 38,260 views

    I believe the devil spends more time in church than many Christians. It makes sense for him to do so. If he can hang around Christians & create confusion, doubt, division, or discouragement....

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2022) NOTE: I borrowed the title and gleaned much of the content of this sermon from an excellent book, “The Devil Goes To Church” (Covenant Publishers, Webb City, MO), by David L.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,984 views

    The world will try to kiss us with the kiss of death; we have to stay focused on Jesus as believers. We have to tell the world “NO WE ARE MARRIED”, we are married in a sense to Jesus! Are you an enemy of God?

    Are You An Enemy Of God? James 4:1-10 1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and ...read more

    Despising The Lord's Table

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,116 views

    The New Year brings with it a sense that here we are again, doing the same old things, even in worship. But the prophet warns us that weariness in worship comes from offering God less than our best.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 3, 1988 Prominent in Greek mythology there is the story of Sisyphus. Sisyphus, you may remember, was the poor lost soul who had been condemned to spend eternity heaving and shoving a huge rock up to the top of a hill, only to have it roll ...read more

     | 7,976 views

    Much of the Christian’s thinking and decision making today is based on the senses and not on the Scripture. The church has lost her preoccupation with Scripture. The church has fallen away from a passion and love for the Word of God.

    The Peace Of The Devil & The Peace Of God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 17, 2021
     | 3,854 views

    The devil knows that our separation from God produces an innate knowledge that something is wrong. So the devil seeks to cover over this spiritual disquiet, to explain it away, or to overrun our physical senses with pleasure or distractions.

    THE PEACE OF THE DEVIL & THE PEACE OF GOD Jer. 6:14; John 14:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A bus full of ugly people had a head-on collision with a truck. When they died, God granted all of them one wish. The first person said, "I want to be gorgeous. God said, “Granted” and it happened. ...read more
