  • The Focus Of A Successful Church

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,156 views

    To really succeed as a church, we must focus on God’s standards. First, we focus on one message. Second, we must focus on one ministry. Finally, we must focus on one mission.

    I read about a guy who saw a building with a signboard “Church on a grill.” He got so curious that entered the building and, lo and behold, it was a steakhouse. He ordered premium steak and, in fairness, it was delicious. But he could not help but ask the waiter why the place is called ...read more

  • What Leaders Are Called To Do

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,561 views

    Leaders are equippers. It requires hard work. It renders our work to become more effective. It rests on teaching the word of God.

    One of the most thought-­‐provoking articles I’ve read lately is “8 Reasons Most Churches Never Break the 200 Attendance Mark.”1 Now the author Carey Nieuwhof is not saying that it is a sin to be a small church. He just analyzed why it stays small. Nieuwhof clarifies that ...read more

  • What's So Good About The Good News?

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on May 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,060 views

    The grace that saves is the grace that works through our relationship with ourselves, with others and with God.

    When we hear the Gospel or the Good News, what comes to our mind? Do we think of a heavenly real estate deal that after signing up we are now assured of a place in heaven? Do we think of a divine fire insurance that after putting our name on the dotted line we can now heave a deep sigh of relief ...read more

     | 6,400 views

    The Bible is our compass and map for life.

    One time, I searched the Internet with this question, “What to do if lost?” According to Hike Safe, a hikers’ website, “Obviously the best thing you can do for yourself and the search team is to avoid getting lost… The best ‘rescue’ is the one that is never needed. Hiking safely is about being ...read more

  • Our Authority Is Our Ally

    Parents are the youth’s best ally.

    Every hiker must have a backup plan. Even if we are not planning to be lost, we must have a backup plan if ever we got lost. One of the ways is to leave our trip plan behind. According to the Hiker’s Responsibility Code, “You are responsible for yourself, so be prepared… To leave your plans. Tell ...read more

  • The Double Portion

    Contributed by Perry James on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,308 views

    There is so much that we can draw from the lives of Elijah and Elisha. I think something that is echoed throughout is how we need to be ready to work for God as Christians. We reap what we sow, and I believe these 2 men lived that out.

    *(I do want to add at the beginning here, I did not read all of the scriptures that are in this, I just like to list my references in my notes so that I can better go over the story with the congregation. I also shortened some of the stories as needed.)* Hello, how is everyone? I have been ...read more

  • The Call To Holiness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,859 views

    The call to holiness is one which we all share. But none of us are called because we are good enough. In fact, by our own efforts none of us could ever be good enough. And yet each of us is called to a purpose greater than any of us could imagine.

    A Strange Encounter Imagine for a moment a young woman waking early, just before dawn to begin her daily chores. Still groggy with sleep though the morning is cold and quiet, she feeds the animals, and gathers water for the day’s washing. As she fills her bucket at the well, she imagines the life ...read more

  • A Light In The Darkness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,420 views

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

  • Love Is More Than Kissing

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 11, 2015
     | 6,825 views

    There are many definitions of love. It's easy to say you love someone, but your actions tell the truth. Orpah & Ruth are contrasts of what love really means.

    LOVE IS MORE THAN KISSING Ruth 1:1-18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man once commented after a revival service to the evangelist, "If you could see how people don't pay attention! And they get up and wander around. It’s terrible!” The evangelist answered, "If you think the back of their ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,812 views

    From the individual calls of the disciples we see that what he said to them is repeated in the life of every Christian.

    “The Call to Ministry” Mark 1:16-20 In the last message we looked at the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Now we see that Jesus came out of the wilderness after his battle with Satan to declare the Kingdom of God was at hand. But the ...read more

  • The Foundation Of The Home

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,261 views

    Mothers are the foundation of the home. See if you agree.

    The Foundation of the Home Matthew 7:24-29 One of the greatest masterpieces of human engineering is the Golden Gate Bridge. That is not my own assessment because I have never been privileged to see it. It is the opinion of those more knowledgeable than myself... architects, engineers, ...read more

  • Taking The Journey

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 1, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,320 views

    God’s call to take the journey to worship the newborn king isn’t just for those born to privilege, or those born in the church. It isn’t just for pastors, scholars, and religious leaders. No, God’s call to worship is for anyone who will listen.

    OPENING STORY An old king sat uncomfortably on his throne, fingernails dug into well-worn grooves in the wood as he waited nervously for the mysterious travelers to approach. All Jerusalem was abuzz with the rumors that these men were searching for a new heir which had just been born, yet neither ...read more

  • Counting The Cost

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 23, 2022
     | 2,262 views

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    What do you want healed? If you stand up and walk, Jesus will guide you into the healing that is already planned and waiting for you.

    People have been looking for quick fixes for what ails them since the beginning of time. Every time someone announces a new discovery, hundreds and thousands of people go chasing after the magic potion, the pot of gold, the secret formula that will make all their dreams come true. When Columbus ...read more

     | 6,014 views

    In our Scripture today, Jesus realizes he has just a few months to live and it changes everything for Him. This sermon is about deciding to start the journey to the cross

    You Only Have to Die Luke 9:51-56 What would you do if you only had one month to live? Would any of your priorities change? These are the questions that pastor Kerry and Chris Shook ask in their book, One Month to Live: 30 Days to a No-Regrets Life. The catalyst for the book was encountering people ...read more
