    We live in a fallen and broken world. We should expect disappointments in all facets of life. We know also that Painted on the canvas of our lives is the tender touch of a Creator who has a special place for the bruised and weary of the world

    Living in a fallen, broken world Luke 4:16-19 KJV Is there anything more frail than a bruised reed? We have all seen one at the water’s edge. A once slender and tall stalk of sturdy river grass, it is now bowed and bent. It’s bruised and broken. That’s a pretty accurate picture of what can ...read more

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

     | 2,710 views

    Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

    For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

    This sermon explains that Christianity is all about a Relationahip with Jesus Christ, not a "Religion."

    Introduction: The Apostle Paul was in the city of Athens, Greece, waiting for his co-workers Timothy and Silas to join him there.

    I doubt there’s a person here who hasn't had a dark night experience when God didn’t seem to hear your desperate cry for help or answers. Worse than that it seemed he broke contact with you and you felt dreadfully alone.

    “When God Seems Silent” Exodus 32:1-7 (The Message) The story is told of six WWII Navy pilots who left their aircraft carrier on a mission. After searching for enemy submarines, they tried to return to their ship shortly after dark. But the captain ordered a blackout of all lights on ...read more

    Sermon 5 in the series. The Jews have settled into their cities, built homes, raised crops. Now it is time to get busy in the work of the Lord. In last week’s lesson, we saw that the people put a priority on worship! Even without a Temple, they returned

    T The Book of Ezra Study #7 (Ezra 3:8-13) Rebuilding the Foundation! INTRODUCTION: OPEN: If you knew that a murderer were on the loose in your city, what would you do? Buy a gun, read your Bible, pray, or tithe? QUOTE: Why was the Lord’s temple begun first, even before the city ...read more

The cross was put there in 1930 by a Catholic bishop and had been valued at the time at $10,000. The thieves apparently cut it ...read more

    Our rush to commercialize Christmas, even before Thanksgiving, shows that we have become unthankful for what we have, and greedy for more. Christmas has trampled Thanksgiving.

    Trampling Thanksgiving (Run, Turkey, Run) Psalm 100:1-5 I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I don’t like to be controversial and cause a stink or alienate people. I will. And I have, and I probably will again… today… but I don’t like it… I like to ...read more

    A world changer is known not for what he gives up, but for what he takes up. Will you take up the challenge to be a world changer OR who just changes his clothes every day to look good?

    Opening illustration: John, do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That was the challenge Steve Jobs issued in 1983 to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Jobs was the creative genius behind Apple Computer. ...read more

    There is one loyalty that should stand in a class by itself. It is a loyalty that can permeate & add even more meaning to all other loyalties. This is loyalty to Jesus Christ.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS OK TEXT: Matthew 26:31-35 Much of what we do in life is influenced by our loyalties. Often-times our loyalties shape our decisions, & guide our activities. Most people have what might be called "family loyalty" - loyalty to ...read more
