    What's Inside?

    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,274 views

    In a culture obsessed with diets it seems that everyone’s obsessed with what goes inside because it effects how we look on the outside. The Pharisees weren’t much different. But Jesus said it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

    What’s Inside? Mark 7:1-8; 14-23 Move 1 – Swallowed Penny Story - I’ll never forget it. I might have been eight years old when one day my parents told us to sit still while they ran into the store to grab something. The same guidelines always applied when we were told to remain in the van: we were ...read more

    In our culture of non-committal this message encourages us to look trouble, trials, difficulties in the face and not compromise or be moved from the will of God for our lives. Instead of running from trouble, we run to Jesus and find His strength and grac

    I believe that we must be a church that has the courage and the heartbeat of God to reach people of every culture and situation, people who are lost and broken, people who are tattooed and pierced and in baggy clothes, people who are different from us in

     | 3,604 views

    The call of John the Baptizer still rings true in the 21st century. Our culture seeks to do away with sin by calling it a "privacy" issue. The scriptures call our acts of disobedience againts God and our fellow man....sin.

    There is no wonder there is an Identity Crisis in the local church today. In our text for examination, we find the disciples of Christ were also locked into an Identity Crisis some 2,000 years ago. In our modern culture there is more and more confusion

    Jesus often spoke in parables. He used common experiences such as fishing and farming in His parables to teach a valuable lesson. Baseball is a very common activity in our culture, so I would like to use it to illustrate the Christian life.

    Jesus Christ commanded His church to be influential. We have a commission to impact people, principles and culture for Christ and His kingdom. How do we do this. We respond to His call to follow Him and be salt and light.

    Intro: The philosophies or ways of thinking of the world lead to a devaluing. The worldly philosophies of the 19th century led to the idea of a golden era with no more war or rumors of war. There were many that believed that a utopia would result from the right thinking of man. They really ...read more

    Four Stops On The Way To A Christ Centered Christmas

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Dec 20, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,068 views

    It seems that Christ is not the center of the festivities. It takes an effort in our culture today to keep Jesus front and center at this time of the year. It is amazing how much Christmas is not about Jesus Christ to many. Most people do not have one s

    Into: The picture in Luke chapter nineteen should be familiar to us at this time of year. No matter where Jesus went he drew a crowd. This time of year we see crowds as well. But it is not necessarily because Jesus is at the center. The Christmas season malls, stores, Wal-Mart, even many ...read more

    Behavior Becoming Of Citizens Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,304 views

    The church faced difficulty within a culture loyal to Rome. While they were subject to Roman authority, their primary responsibility was to the Sovereign Lord. We are citizens of two worlds, and our allegiance belongs to Christ. We must always honor Him.

    Behavior becoming of Citizens Philippians 1: 27-30 As Paul sought to conclude the first thoughts of his gracious letter, apparently he was reminded of the intense struggle the church in Philippi faced. Bear in mind that he and Silas had been beaten and imprisoned there. Philippi being a Roman ...read more

     | 8,914 views

    In this sermon, we focus primarily on God's commands in Ephesians 5. I have leaned heavily on material from David Platt's book Counter Culture, chapter 6, and also three sermons from John Piper on marital roles.

    Introduction: A. One day a little girl and a little boy were playing in the yard. 1. The girl asked the boy, “Hey Billy, do you want to play house?” 2. Little Billy said, “Sure! What role do you want me to play? Do you want me to be the husband, the son, or the brother?” ...read more

    Baptism of Christ - Epiphany 1 (B). The act of baptism was already part of Jewish worship and culture, but it brought only ritual purification. By His baptism Christ united Himself to baptism, so that in and through baptism we would be united with Him.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Together Forever” In Advent we heard of John the Baptist. How he was in the Judean wilderness outside of Jerusalem, and that he was ...read more

    People Who Missed Christmas

     | 8,647 views

    Most people today miss the real meaning of Christmas, because the holiday has been hijacked by the secular culture. That's nothing new. Most people in the 1st century missed the 1st Christmas. 3 examples of them.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 19, 2018

    In this passage Paul speaks of throwing his "heart wide open" to the Corinthians. Could it be that the deep relationships that will come from doing that might be the church's secret weapon for attracting people to Jesus in a culture overwhelmed by loneliness?

    DANGER SIGNS ON CHURCH FRIENDSHIPS: Shallow conversation, safe prayer requests, and busy pastors. - Sometimes church members can be mean to each other, but even in good times many church friendships are characterized by their lack of depth.
