    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 16, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,479 views

    The essence of Christianity is this remarkable truth: Christ came from heaven and died for us on the cross and rose again so that, in the person of the Holy Spirit, he might dwell in our lives.

    Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will join me in starting each day by saying, “Behold, the servant of the Lord. Be it unto me according to your word. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. More than anything else, I want Jesus to show up in my life. I’m available to ...read more

    This message calls for Christian Disciples to answer the "Call to Be a Barnabas" by being instruments of encouragement in the lives of others through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

    CALLED TO BE A BARNABAS --ACTS 4:36-38; and II CORINTHIAS 1:3-7 Charles Swindoll shares this story in an issue of Leadership magazine: “On May 24, 1965, a thirteen-and-a half-foot boat quietly slipped out of the marina at Falmouth, Massachusetts, for Falmouth, England.

    Simple lessons. 1- Some things are obvious - proceed with speed. 2- Some things are not so obvious - proceed with caution.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A little boy came home from his first day at school. His Mother asked him, "Well, what did you learn today?" He said, "Not enough. They want me to come back tomorrow." I always had to go back too. The truth is even once we get out of school we are still engaged in the learning ...read more

    Wrote this message for a "Bring Your Bike to Church Day" friend event

    Life is a Bike (This was written for our annual Bring Your Bike to Church Day) As you can tell from the video and from some of the rides out front there are all kinds of motorcycles.

    The Lord's Prayer: "Lead Me Not Into Temptation" Series

    Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 31, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,943 views

    When we ask God to “lead us not into temptation” we are asking Him to guide our steps along a moral pathway.

    Have you heard about the guy who was trying to lose weight, but came to the office one day with two dozen donuts? His co-workers asked him why he got the donuts if he was trying to lose weight? He answered, “I came to the corner where the donut shop was, I told God that if He wanted me to buy some ...read more

    Marriage: Forgiving And Forbearing Series

    Contributed by John Piper on Mar 29, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,312 views

    The purpose of human marriage is temporary. But it points to something eternal, namely, Christ and the church. And when this age is over, it will vanish into the superior reality to which it points.

    You recall perhaps that my wife, Noël, said, “You cannot say too often that marriage is a model of Christ and the church” (see Ephesians 5:31-32). I said that I think she is right for three reasons. I’ll mention two. The first was that saying this lifts marriage out of the sitcom sewer and elevates ...read more

    What Would Jesus Say To Harry Potter? Series

    Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 16, 2007
    based on 13 ratings
     | 8,393 views

    This is, I believe, a balanced look at the Harry Potter phenomenon, acknowledging that Christians have supported and opposed it. But beyond that, this message looks at what Jesus might have to say to Harry, if Harry were a real person.

    [Preached in November 2002. Stats can probably be updated at Wikipedia.com] Harry Potter. Since the release of the first book about him by J. K. Rowling in 1997, Harry Potter has captivated the minds and imaginations of children around the world. But not just children. Parents, college students, ...read more

    Getting The Right Gift For Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2007
    based on 50 ratings
     | 35,916 views

    There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

    OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more

    This is the first of four messages titled, "Understanding God"s Word." Today, we will see that in order to understand God’s Word, we must have the right message.

    I have looked forward to this chapter ever since I started preaching in Ezra, two years ago. When we were in Ezra, we looked at what I consider to be my life-verse. Ezra 7:10 says, “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ...read more

    Since we’re heading toward Christmas I think we should be: thinking, taking, and talking.

    INTRO.- ILL.- An ill-prepared college student taking an economics exam just before Christmas vacation wrote on his paper. “Only God knows the answers to these questions.

    The Measure Of A Successful Man

     | 19,439 views

    As you study Joseph’s life you will attain a new measure of success.

    How do you measure success? Some people measure success by money. Some people measure success by power. Some people measure success by public opinion. On this father’s day I want to take a look at a man in the Bible who was considered a successful man. I believe many people have a warped idea of ...read more
