    Why am I here? You need a better answer to that question than just a "Why not?" This sermon examines places people have been looking for fulfillment for 3,000 years, to see if it can be found. *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Answering Life’s Great Questions - Sermon #1 Where Can I Find Fulfillment? <ILLUS> While I don’t own a television myself, I remember being in a doctors office once, and a football game was on.

    God does not care about the economy or missing WMDs or anything of the sort. God cares about the moral fabric of our nation and that moral fabric was up for election this past Tuesday. You can believe it or not, but it is true. The Question of the Day:

    AFTER THE ELECTION VARIOUS PASSAGES 1 TIMOTHY 2:1-4 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God ...read more

    Are we frightened into a relationship with God out of fear of hell or are we fascinated with having a personal relationship with God? This sermon looks at both Isaiah 43:1-7 and Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 to find an answer to this question.

    Frightened or Fascinated Isaiah 43:1-7 / Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 Intro: We all have expectations of relationships, children, marriage, children, and even the church. I. Israelites had expectations – VS 15 – Needed to be expectant if God’s salvation was to appear. A. Expected to be the “chosen” ...read more

    In the gospel of Matthew we see a few recurring themes: True spirituality; living by faith; and achieving greatness. All of these themes overlap to some extent. Matthew 18 begins with the disciples re-opening these issues again by asking Jesus a question.

    When God chooses a person to do his work, he does so with perfect insight and understanding of what kind of person he needs to get the job done. Our role is not to question his instructions but rather to submit and obey.

    I love the movie “A Christmas Story”. You know – the one with the young boy who dreams of getting a b.b. gun for Christmas. It’s got schoolyard bullies and neighbors dogs roaming through the house, and childhood dreams and memories of the way life used to be all wrapped up in one. This year ...read more

    Narnia: Is The Lion Safe?

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 8, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,419 views

    This is an article I wrote for an online journal. It’s a devotional based on the question asked about Aslan: Is he safe? The answer was : No, but he’s good. That’s God’s plans for us too: not safe but good.

    Is the Lion Safe? I’ve been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia for several years now. What’s funny about it is that it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is decidedly not a believer. That’s funny because Narnia was written by a man who worked hard to make his Christian faith known ...read more

    In amazement, we wonder, "What's the matter with them? Were they hard of hearing? Why didn't they get the message? Why didn't they understand?" I think there are several answers to that question.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) A. The ability to make intelligent & correct decisions is one of the great secrets of successful Christian living. ILL. Even if you aren't a sports fan I think you'll appreciate this story about a college ...read more

    These words further elevate Jesus beyond mere good human recognition into the highest company of all – the Godhead. If we are answering the question ‘Who is Jesus?’ we are faced with choosing whether we start with an explanation of his humanity or his di

    Are you a true witness for Jesus? How can you tell? What does it take to be the kind of witness God has called you to be? We’ll answer those questions as we look today at the example of John the Baptist.

    The John that is in our passage this morning is not the same John that wrote this Gospel. The John that wrote this Gospel is the brother of James. Jesus called him a son of thunder. He was the one whom Jesus loved. But that’s not the John in our passage. The John in our passage is the one we ...read more

    This sermon looks at the coming return of Jesus asking the question is it good news or bad news. Of course that depends on what side of the fence you are on. But either way this sermon tells us what’s coming to a town near you.

    2Thes:1:8-10. Good news or bad news? • Have any of you been confronted with a “good news, bad news” situation lately? I heard about a man who got a call from his doctor. The doctor said, “Your test results are in, and I’ve got good news and bad news for you.” The man said, “Okay --- give me the ...read more
