    In Christian hope there is no person so lost he cannot be changed by the grace of God and no situation so desperate that God is powerless over it.

    Owning Our Exile

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,102 views

    That we are different from the world is not a license to withdraw. We are to engage and to transform the world around us, for that is the key to our church's future.

    An Easter message for those who are bearing burdens.

    CAN YOU BEAR THE SPICES IN THE DARK? TEXT: John 19:38-42 John 19:38-42 KJV And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave.

    Dead Prophets Society

    For Transfiguration Sunday: we, like the disciples, have not imagined Christ as who He is, we as who we can become, or the cost of glory ... losing our lives to save them.

    Every one who teaches knows what a mighty struggle it is to teach anybody anything and make it stick. Students come to school drowsy and distracted. Some are there because they have to be; some because Daddy’s money put them there; and some just because they cannot think of anything else to do. ...read more

    Eyewitnesses Of Majesty

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 8, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,341 views

    We tend to see only what we expect to see, and thus at Christmas we do not see the glory and majesty of the Christ child in the homeless, the downtrodden, the ashamed.

    They say that "seeing is believing". Well, that depends. That depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more

    We need to speak our faith

    There was a Pastor, who after the usual Sunday Evening Hymns, stood up, walked over to the pulpit and, before he gave his sermon for the evening, briefly introduced a guest minister who was in service that evening. In the introduction, the Pastor told the congregation that the guest minister was ...read more

    Friend Of The Full Heart Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,744 views

    Christmas is a time for full hearts: weary, guilty, anxious, sad -- past, present, and future. Mary felt the same things, but Christ comes to forgive our past, empower our present, and assure our future.

    Christmas is an emotional time. All kinds of feelings are involved with the celebration of Christmas. If you don’t feel some tension, some excitement, or some pressure, something at this time of the year, you are either dead or you’ve been watching the Redskins, which is about the same thing. ...read more

    Venus De Milo: Beautiful But Not Perfect

     | 4,139 views

    We are not perfect, nor are we beyond redemption. Wake up to correct the inadequacies; strengthen what is worth keeping; and remember the grace of God.

    In the best of us there are deep flaws; but in the worst of us there is something worth redeeming. In the best of us there are deep, profound flaws. Every fine and saintly person I have known has been hard to get along with, had blinders on about some issue, or just hung on to some irritating ...read more

    Jesus was born in Bethlehem and yet very few knew about His birth. How is it that the King of all eternity comes in the form of human flesh and it is not on the front page of the paper?

    With so much uncertainty and crises facing at the beginning of the New Year, we’ll examine some of the basics of following Jesus that help us get through turbulent times.

    Trudging Through Turbulent Times Matthew 24:1-8 January 4, 2009 Happy New Year everyone! To begin the New Year, I thought that we might address a relevant topic for our times right now, “Trudging Through Turbulent Times.” Times are so uncertain.

    Forgiving God

    Contributed by Eric Ferguson on May 16, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,797 views

    Us being forgiven by God is without question; but that God needs to be forgiven by me borders on blasphemy. Although it seems unthinkable to even mention that we would need to forgive God of the universe, our creator, our redeemer. But many people must go

    Sometimes life hurts us. And when we hurt, the natural response is anger. When another person is responsible for our pain, our anger turns toward the one who has injured us. To restore peace, we know we need to forgive. But sometime’s there’s no clear culprit in our suffering. At those times, ...read more

    Jesus gave up His Divinity, voluntarily and willingly, in order to become a man. The divine glory was exchanged for human lowliness. He emptied Himself of His DEITY to take upon Himself His HUMANITY. He stripped himself of the insignia of majesty. What wa

    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,869 views

    God is not a God to be trifled with. God is not a God to take for granted. Even if our observation of the world leaves us perplexed and confused, God has revealed himself to us in his word. He’s revealed his plan for the world to us. He’s told us what he’

    You could be forgiven for wondering, as you read through this book, what the writers view on God is. At times he seems like a secular humanist. A little bit jaded by his experience of life; quite cynical about life on earth; almost pessimistic at times about our chances of succeeding in life with ...read more

    The fourth sermon of a seven part series, ‘Stepping Stones and Stumbling Blocks to Faith.’

    (Slide 1) When I was a few months from graduation from seminary, the church I had attended during college had a position open and I was very interested in it. The pastor had become a spiritual mentor to me and I was hopeful for the opportunity to work with him. When we met to discuss the position ...read more

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 9, 2007

     | 2,677 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
