    Contributed by Steve Smith on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,007 views

    This message helps the church ask why we do the acts of mercy we do? What is our motive? Last in a series of 4, we are reminded that all opportunities of service are to be done as though we are doing them for the Master Himself!

    Introduction Today, we end our study of preparation for the Vision of our church for the year 2010. We’ve talked about: 1. Recognizing the Open Doors (Rev. 3:7-8) 2. Effective Prayer (Col. 6:2-6) 3. Effective Giving (2 Cor 8:1-15) And now today the question, “When Did ...read more

     | 14,809 views

    Motherhood is important and valuable. But it can also be difficult and at times discouraging. God has blessed mothers with the promise of rewards for faithfully loving and serving your family. These promises will inspire and encourage you as a mother.

    THE REWARDS OF MOTHERHOOD TEXT: Proverbs 31: 27-31 INTRODUCTION Motherhood continues to get a bad rap in our culture. Feminists and liberals look down on “stay at home” moms and treat them as if they have settled for less. Society has all but destroyed any notion of a one income family in ...read more

    Ultimately, each person must answer for themselves the question of who Jesus really is.

    Who? Matthew 16: 13 – 20 Introduction: The old childhood game, “HERE’S THE CHURCH. HERE’S THE STEEPLE.

    based on 65 ratings
     | 115,969 views

    This is a brief graveside service I prepared for a person I was not familiar with. This is a short and simple, but respectful ceremony. Although it is simple and short, it does have some nice touches.

    Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” I want to encourage you, as we gather together this afternoon, to remember that God is our refuge and our strength. We are ...read more

    The Better Part

     | 4,464 views

    Just like a rip-current in the ocean can pull us away from shore, we must deepen our relationship with Jesus so that the things of this world do not pull us away from God.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST HAZARDS OF THE BEACH AND ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF THE OCEAN IS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE STRONG GRASP OF A RIP CURRENT. AT LEAST 80% OF ALL OCEAN RESCUES INVOLVE RIP CURRENTS THAT PRODUCE NEARLY 100 FATALITIES EACH YEAR. THESE STRONG CHANNELS OF WATER CAN DRAG SWIMMERS AWAY FROM THE ...read more

     | 3,794 views

    Do you feel that prayer is not working for you? Have you considered what your prayer life looks like to God? It may just be lacking one or more essential ingredients. Let us take a good look and find out.

    The good news is of infinite worth; when we discover it, everything else is put in proper perspective.

    “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” In a parable, Jesus conveys the worth of the Kingdom… The merchant in this parable seems to be doing fairly well. ...read more

     | 2,831 views

    Paul demonstrates that God's justice is clear, and because of God's just nature he writes that our faith in Christ is what allows us to fulfill the Law. Apart from accepting the salvation offered by Jesus through God's grace, we can never fulfill the Law

    Many people have the misconception that there are several ways to get to heaven but Jesus tells us there is only one.

    “Better To Be Sure Than Sorry” Who in this room wants to go to heaven? Heaven is our hope and our goal for the Christian life and obviously everyone wants to go to heaven and I realize with this message I am going to be preaching to the choir. But a ...read more
