Pulling Up Weeds

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2002

How to discover make-believers in the church, and make-believing attitudes in ourselves.

I don’t know what they are called – but I have my own name for them: “Explode-a-weeds.” I’m sure ...read more

I call to your attention the key verse from last week’s story in which ...read more

Lord's Supper

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 19, 2009

A Lord’s Supper service that focuses on the relationship of the cup to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

One of the things I love most about celebrating the Lord’s Supper together is that it presents so many different aspects of Jesus – past, present, and future.

A New Body

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Jan 16, 2017

This sermon is the first in a series for January 2017 called "Start Something New." Many focus on body image issues when making New Year's Resolutions. In baptism, we have "put on Christ," and God sees His perfect, sinless Son. THERE'S your new body!

It’s that time again—time to set lofty goals for yourself. Time to aim high for 2017. Time to dream that you might be one of only 8% of Americans who actually fulfill a new year’s resolution! Year after year, we do this to ourselves…no matter how many times we fall into the 92% failure category. ...read more
