  • Changing The Story

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Feb 6, 2013
     | 6,327 views

    We have to remember that we love only because Jesus first loved us. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we are to respond to others in the same way God has responded to us. We have to change the story, re-write history, shock people.

    I have noticed in recent years a growing lack of any “shock value” in our society. It’s obvious in movies, TV shows, video games, sports, and even the way we talk. To be a millionaire means very little these days; it’s more impressive to be a billionaire. Video games are no ...read more

  • Promote The Good; Proscribe The Evil Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 23, 2013
     | 3,761 views

    The call of Christ not to judge, not to condemn, is directed at our relationships with other humans, not evil actions themselves.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Lent 2013 Gaudium et Spes Today’s Scriptures are most appropriate as follow-ups to the Gospel of Transfiguration we heard on Sunday. Jesus is seen on Mount Tabor conversing with Moses, the great lawgiver, and Elijah, the greatest prophet. Jesus has always been seen by ...read more

     | 5,175 views

    In any non-profit organization, especially like a church, you have to persuade people, either to invest time in the church or to do something that is right, or change an area that they might have chosen. How do you persuade people? Paul gives a beautiful

    Philemon ILLUSTRATION: Cicero's (106 - 43 BC) was one of the most powerfully, persuasive people of his day. He had this to say about the public in 1st Century BC, Rome. The poor: work and work, The rich: exploit the poor, The soldier: protects both, The taxpayer: pays for all three, The ...read more

  • The Story Of Esau And Jacob - Why It's Destructive To Hold A Grudge

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 8, 2013
     | 17,727 views

    For those of us who have or maybe are holding grudges now, I hope you understand how destructive it is for you. It's impossible to love those you hold a grudge against.

    Have you ever held a grudge? I have. I was once accused of plagiarizing material I wrote for a small group study. The person who accused me wanted to fire me, but, didn't have the authority himself to do it, so he tried to diminish my character by accusing me of stealing my material. I have to ...read more

  • Judge Not, Least Ye Be Judged! Really?

    Contributed by John Hickman on Oct 21, 2013
     | 6,141 views

    Working through a difficult passage of scripture on judging others. What did Jesus mean? If it is okay to judge others, what are the tools we need to use to make fair assessments? And, do we judge Christians any differently than non-Christians?

    JUDGE NOT, LEAST YE BE JUDGED! (loudly – Like old time Preacher). That sure sounds good from the pulpit, doesn't it? But really. Can we just put an exclamation point after it, chisel it in stone and make it a commandment? One of the top five questions I’ve been asked over the years ...read more

  • "Growing In The Life Of Love" Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 12, 2016
     | 12,215 views

    Spiritual maturity is tied directly to my learning to rely on God's love and relay God's love to others.

    Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made; Were every stalk on earth a quill And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole Though stretched from sky to sky. Truly the length and depth ...read more

  • The Legacy We Will Leave Behind Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 23,977 views

    It is wise to realize that our years are limited in this earth and someday, God will call us home. And so, we must gain a heart of godly wisdom and leave behind a good memory or a good legacy for others to remember us by.

    Billy Graham in his latest book, Nearing Home" wrote: I will soon celebrate my ninety-third birthday, (he is now 97) and I know it won't be long before God calls me home to heaven. More than ever I look forward to that day when the Lord calls me home because I know that finally all the burdens and ...read more

     | 4,409 views

    Reconciliation for broken relationships is only possible when justice and forgiveness meet.

  • Matthew 18:15-20 – “cross Me And You’ll Regret It?” Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Aug 13, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,581 views

    Forgiving a torn artwork is trivial. What happens when the sin sears its way into your soul and brings devastation to your heart? All I know is that I have been forgiven more than I could hope for in my life and have been tested with offenses where only God’s help enabled me to forgive.

    Matthew 18:15-20 – “CROSS ME AND YOU’LL REGRET IT?” She came to me, tears streaming down her face and in obvious distress. It was Sunday and I was walking across from our house to our small Church building to take the service. The morning was beautiful, her confession was ...read more

  • Being Reminded To Do Good

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,543 views

    How does one reach a fallen world that glorifies sin? Is their a right and wrong way to preach the Gospel? In Paul's message to Titus we find that loving people and doing good deeds is the only way to reach them.

    BEING REMINDED TO DO GOOD TITUS 3:1-8 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 I want you to imagine what it must have been like to establish an early Christian church during a time period when beliefs were as diverse as the stars in the sky. Each time Rome conquered a place ...read more

  • The Miracle Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 4, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,088 views

    They say "To err is human and to forgive divine"...a lot of truth in this statement. It really takes the power of The Lord to help us truly forgive one another.

    Mark 2:7-11 (Wey) "Why does this man use such words?" they said; "He is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"... Jesus asked them, "Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your mat, and walk?' But that you may know that the ...read more

     | 9,105 views

    Sometimes we need to extend forgiveness to others and request forgiveness from others. How do we do this?

    Sometimes newspapers have to publish corrections to previous stories. Occasionally, in their attempt to make amends, they make it worse. For example, one paper published a correction that said, "In a recent article we referred to the Chairman of Chrysler Corporation as Lee Iacoocoo. That was ...read more

    In order to manage our time wisely, we must treasure out time, invest our time in relationships, and spend out time according to God's will.

    Manage Your Time Wisely YOLO Part 2 Ephesians 5:15-17 We are currently going through a new message series: YOLO. “You only live once.” It is true that we only live once.

    This morning I would like us to focus on the 3rd section of Proverbs 31 and review the life lesson and advice that King Lemuel’s mother told him. Our mothers often teach us valuable lessons with their words and with their actions. What did King Lemuel’s
