Worship That Wins!

Contributed by Jim Mccutchen on Nov 16, 2013

For to worship is to quicken the conscience by the Holiness of God; to feed the mind with the truth of God; to purge the imagination by the beauty of God; to open the heart to the love of God; to devote the will to the purpose of God.

WORSHIP THAT WINS! Introduction: Many people have the wrong idea of what worship really is. One little boy was listening to his parents discuss the church service. The mother stated she did not like the song services. The dad said that the preacher’s sermon was too long. The little boy ...read more

Christmas Stinks! Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Nov 20, 2017

There is much that stinks in this world, but Jesus' birth in a smelly manger reminds us that Jesus can be born in us. A brief sermon for Christmas Eve.

Christmas stinks! Or, so would say the Grinch who stole Christmas. You remember the Grinch? The slinky, green ogre of a character created by Dr. Seuss whose heart was too small to love and appreciate Christmas. We know the story. All the Who’s down in Whoville make the Grinch cringe with all their ...read more

Precious Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jun 17, 2014

The Israelites reach Mount Sinai and the Lord declares that they are his treasured possession. We, too, as children of faith are God’s precious possessions.

Exodus 19:1-6, 20:1-2 “Precious” INTRODUCTION The world is filled with strange, ridiculous and useless laws. For example: • In Missouri it is illegal to drive with an uncaged bear, and in Alaska it is improper to wake a sleeping bear for a photo opportunity. • In ...read more

The Truest Meaning Of Christmas

Contributed by Jerry Stephens on Dec 3, 2014

At one time or another, most of us have had the experience of being on the outside looking in. More than anything else, for me Christmas is a celebration of inclusion and acceptance and restoration.

Of all the “true meanings of Christmas,” this is perhaps the truest. When I was a boy, my relatively non-religious family had a Christmas Eve tradition. We’d have a formal, dress-up dinner, and then we’d sit together to talk, tell stories and perhaps read the Christmas ...read more

Does He Show On Me?

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 23, 2018

Is it obvious to the people you meet that you are a child of God? What is it that makes it obvious?

J. I. Packer on Being God's Child “You sum up the whole of New Testament teaching in a single phrase if you speak of it as a revelation of the Fatherhood of the holy Creator. In the same way, you sum up the whole of New Testament religion if you describe it as the knowledge of God as one's Holy ...read more

Do You Want The Church To Grow?

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020

This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

The Visible Evidence Of Christian Maturity: The Production Of Spiritual Fruit

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 3, 2022

John 15 presents the themes of fruit-bearing, or the visible evidence of true faith and obedience Jesus demands of those who follow Him (Matthew 10:34-39, Luke 14:25-33). Fruit-bearing Christians, or those who do the work of the LORD, will be blessed by Him and hated by the world.

The German pastor and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), in his book, "The Cost of Discipleship" opened the first chapter with these words; " When a man comes to Christ, He bids him come and die." Bonhoeffer lived by his own words as he lingered in a concentration camp, ...read more

Yuck!! Not Another Sermon On Giving

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 24, 2003

A refreshing look at the touchy subject of giving.

How would you respond to a God whose lightest touch nearly shook a mountain off its foundation? Whose approach was announced by a loud trumpet blast? Whose very voice sound like the thunder of a rushing river? Most likely you would be extremely nervous just like the Israelites. Literally scared ...read more

What To Do When We Are Afraid Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 17, 2024

Psalm 27 teaches us that when fear overwhelms, like David, we should turn to the Lord as our light and salvation, trusting Him as our stronghold even in the darkest times. By focusing on God’s strength rather than our circumstances, we can overcome fear with faith.

What to Do When We Are Afraid! Psalm 27 Introduction: Psalm 27 = is both uplifting and powerful – speaks to the struggles of the heart.
