    Holy Tornado, Batman Series

    Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Jun 10, 2019
     | 3,704 views

    While our past is history and our future is a mystery, let me show you, from this text, three things God, in His mighty power, desires for our church.

    Holy Tornado, Batman! Ephesians 3:14-21 Introduction: Robin always had a way with words, didn’t he? This message has nothing to do with Batman or Robin. It does have to do with “power” (tornadic power). Three times in this passage you will find the word “power”. If you have access to power ...read more

     | 7,357 views

    Emerging from a time of crisis is not easy - and everyone is dealing with that on their own terms. In our text today the Christians in Jerusalem are in a firestorm of persecution and trouble - a time of crisis that became a time of prayer.

    Open The Door Acts 12:1–11 Introduction As we enter Phase Two in Louisiana, doors are opening that have not been. More churches are meeting - although with recommended restrictions to keep people as safe as possible from the virus. Emerging from a time of crisis is not easy - and ...read more

    God Honors Mothers

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,386 views

    So often when we read similar texts, the father is named first. But, in this case perhaps the Lord placed the mother first to show her importance to the family unit.

    MOTHER’S DAY EXHORTATION Leviticus 19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 1. GOD HONORS MOTHERS In most places, when God speaks relating to parents in the Bible, we usually hear about the father first. However, God speaking to the ...read more

     | 1,295 views

    Today’s text echoes what we see throughout scripture about how the Lord disciplines His children. God disciplines us because He loves us.

    The more I study the text of this prayer, the more astonished I become over the weight of each word our Lord said. I have become overwhelmed by the richness of this masterpiece.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org This morning we continue in the portion of the Sermon on the Mount, commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer.

    The Challenge To Love Much  Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 13, 2025
     | 669 views

    Our text today does not contain a miracle as such. The setting is a much more relaxed atmosphere - dinner at Simon’s house. The Pharisees play a major role in the story of Jesus.

    The Challenge to Love Much    Luke 7:36-50 Introduction Last week we saw Jesus demonstrate amazing powers as he healed the centurion’s servant at a distance and raised the son of the widow of Nain. The miracles of Jesus serve to: -Show us his great love and compassion for ...read more

    Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,677 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more

    Worry And Giving

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 9, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,974 views

    If we honestly consider the subject of how we part with our money, we will discover much about ourselves. Our text has much to teach about how financial security affects our trust in God.

    Matthew 6:25-34 Worry and Giving 6/29/03 D. Marion Clark Introduction Some may say that “stewardship” is a code word for asking for money. I suppose that is true to a point. But if we honestly consider the subject of how we part with our money, we will discover much about ourselves. Our text ...read more

    If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 4, 2024

     | 1,213 views

    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

    The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more
