    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,853 views

    There are many divisive pressures that have always sought to keep us apart, but the cause and Cross of Jesus draws us together into one family.

    Standing Alone Galatians 2:11-14 She was fourteen. You all know the rocky terrain of being fourteen. It is mountainous and wooded and hard to find your way. It’s the place between childhood and adulthood. Not old enough to drive a car, but too old to look cool riding a bicycle. Too young to be out ...read more

     | 3,462 views

    Many people get the first thing first...accepting Christ. Many miss putting the second thing second, giving themselves to the local church.

    July 13, 2003 First they gave themselves to the Lord; and then by God’s will, they gave themselves to us as well. 2 Corinthians 8:5 (GN) On the day of dedication of "Solomon’s Temple," the king erected a brazen platform in the outer court.

    This is one part of a series I did on eyewitnesses of Jesus Christ. Each message was prefaced by a dramatic monologue, which is included.

    Thomas (Adapted from Curt Cloninger’s Witnesses) (Consider getting taped music of men singing) Fellas, what are we doing here? What are we doing here guys, sitting around in the dark singing worn-out songs? It’s over with, guys…it’s over. What are you guys looking at me like that for? C’mon ...read more

    Instead of living in the future, God wants us to live in the now in light of the future.

    During the first Gulf War in 1990 and 1991 I noticed that many pastors in our communities changed their preaching during the conflict. No matter what they’d been preaching about prior to the conflict, it seemed like pastors throughout our nation decided that the conflict in Iraq would be a great ...read more

    The Greatest Sermon Of The Year

    Contributed by Scott Cody on Aug 14, 2003
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,324 views

    A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

    It’s a bit presumptuous for someone to claim to deliver the greatest sermon of the year, but I make no apologies for today’s lesson or it’s claim. That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

    In the USA we spend more on premium TV than we give to the church and missions. We focus on giving. You can give and not love, but you can’t love without giving.

     | 13,946 views

    One of the main purposes of 1 John is to help the Christian, the child of God to know that they are truly in a right relationship with God, to know that your standing is true in the Lord.

    Living the Life Series: The Test of Loving My Neighbor Scripture Reference: 1 John 2:7 – 11 Introduction I agree with one pastor who stated that he had yet to meet anyone who actually likes to take tests.

    based on 27 ratings
     | 8,837 views

    With all the reports about the nearness of the Second Coming, we must not become alarmed. The Antichrist is also coming and will proclaim himself to be God, but believers have nothing to fear.

    The Antics of the Antichrist One afternoon, when we lived in Mexico City, I was in a McDonald’s restaurant studying Spanish. As I was eating my hamburger with jalapenos (that’s how they do it in Mexico), I suddenly became very dizzy and disoriented. I wasn’t too concerned at first because this ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 17,227 views

    David could have questioned God, but instead he went on a quest to find God. Instead of wondering, He chose to worship. We can do the same thing as we follow the progression of his faith, from deep inside the cave, to the entrance, and then to the world

    God’s Global Glory Pastors get asked questions all the time. Here are a few actual letters that kids have sent to ministers: Dear Pastor, does God like everybody? If so, He never met my sister. (Arnold, age 9) Dear Pastor, do you think my father should be a minister? Every day he gives us a ...read more

    based on 80 ratings
     | 19,807 views

    When God’s people returned to Jerusalem after nearly a century of exile, they found their city in ruins. The Temple of God–where they believed God lived–was destroyed. This is a story about how God’s people plugged in to His supernatural power.

    Are You Plugged in to Celebrate God’s Goodness? Ezra 3:10-13 by Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION I have a light here, but it’s not doing what it was created to do. It’s not shining. The reason it isn’t fulfilling its purpose for existence is because it isn’t plugged in to a source of power. I’ve ...read more

    Ezra is the story of the Jews’ return to Jerusalem after almost a century exile in Babylon. When they returned, all they found were ruins. There was no temple, so the people felt spiritually unplugged. Ezra is a story of how they got plugged in.

     | 83,323 views

    Like blind Bartimaeus, none of us has ever seen Jesus with our physical eyes, and we are blind until we come to Him. But Jesus is able to hear your cry of mercy from the roar of the crowd. He is listening for your voice and will stop and respond to you.
