    Contributed by Cedric Portis on Nov 30, 2002
    based on 30 ratings
     | 5,970 views

    Jesus calls us to be light to the world. When others look at you do they see the light of Jesus or do they see the darkness of this dying world.

    Will anyone get out of the Boat when they see you? Minister Cedric Portis 12/01/02 Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

    "Philip: Preacher On The Run"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Oct 25, 2004
    based on 36 ratings
     | 2,672 views

    Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

    Following the Acts record it would appear that the newborn church had been pretty cozy and comfortable, up until the martyrdom of Stephen. It had begun with a very public demonstration of God’s power in the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter and the others had boldly proclaimed their risen Lord ...read more

    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

    Heaven Came Down/ Christmas Eve Service Series

     | 3,891 views

    Can we stop for a moment to imagine the excitement of heaven as Jesus comes to begin His redemption of mankind on earth. That God would send His Son Jesus is mind blowing.

    Heaven came down Yesterday, we read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke 2 as part of the service. I spoke of God’s love for “all people”. That God would send His Son Jesus to redeem mankind. (God’s love blows my mind) We saw God’s love was unconditionally for all and God’s love does not go by ...read more

    This morning I will title this message, a song in the night. It is clear from reading Psalm:77 that the author is experiencing a very dark and troubled time in his life.

     | 7,978 views

    This starts with a story of a young boy who has a pivotal moment that changes the focus of his whole life. Just as the blind mans interaction with Jesus changed his.

    When you think about the narrow streets of Paris at night, under the glow of the sparkling Eiffel tower, with a chilly summer breeze blowing down the promenade that sends lovers close together, you might find it romantic and enchanting. But pan out, to a 12-year-old boy…sitting alone on a bench, ...read more

    John sought to bring the good news of Jesus in our own language and our own words to our own world that is dark and so desperately needed.

We’ll talk about Greek philosophy and its history, and seek to bring those together for you guys in some ...read more

     | 31,019 views

    Zechariah (the father of John the Baptist) declared certain prophecies about the coming Messiah and how He would fulfill the dream of a "white Christmas" for Israel. What were these prophecies, and how did Jesus fulfill them?

    OPEN: (I began the sermon by leading the congregation in singing “White Christmas”) I’m dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card ...read more

    What Christmas Is All About--From An Authority Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 26, 2018
     | 4,166 views

    Though not one of the traditional Christmas stories we refer to when we consider Christmas, the prologue of John's Gospel perhaps offers the most complete explanation found anywhere about what Christmas is really about--the God-man came to earth to rescue us from this present darkness.

    Christmas: What It's All About—From an Authority John 1:1-14 Christmas Eve, 2018 I know most of you this evening came expecting to hear another repetition of the Christmas story, focusing on the angels visit to Joseph or Mary, the virgin birth in Bethlehem, or even the Magi's visit.

    Light is a special thing to God. Paul uses this special thing to teach us about witnessing and humility.

    Light is a special thing to God. God’s first spoken words in Scripture are, “Let there be light,” and it was the first thing ever created in our universe. He made light to be a special thing with unique characteristics. When a star dies out, its light can still travel for years and still shine. ...read more
