    En Route To A Better Country

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 24, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,994 views

    For Remembrance Sunday, celebrating the lives of those who had passed away during the previous year: We resist change because we fear failure and we fear temporariness. But faith launches us and God equips us to new things.

    Why do some of us embrace change and others of us resist change? Why do some people look for new things to do, search for new things to learn? But others of us resist until our dying breath doing anything but what we’ve always done? Why is that? Why do we approach to life so very differently? ...read more

    The lukewarm church of Laodicea.

    Turn with me to Revelation 3 REVELATION 3:14-22 This morning we reach the last stop on our tour of the seven churches of Asia Minor. And with this last stop, we come across probably the most familiar. Many of us have probably heard several sermons on this passage in our lifetimes. If not, ...read more

    Who God Uses Series

    based on 69 ratings
     | 19,854 views

    Do we have to be obedient to God for His will to be accomplished? Far from it. God doesn’t depend on us for anything. Even though we can never expedite or stifle God’s plans, our level of obedience will determine our reward.

    1. God uses kings to keep His Word (1-4) 2. God uses His people to keep His Word (5) 3. God uses other people to keep His Word (6) EZRA 1:1a There are so many questions in life, aren’t there? For at least 3000 years, philosophers have worked on trying to answer only two questions—what is real ...read more

     | 4,376 views

    Are you living the life God has for you? Or have you still not found what your looking for?

    Got Life? Galatians 1:1-5 Introduction: Back in the 1980’s the rock group U2 put out an album called Joshua Tree. One of the songs on that album is confusing, but also a reality for many people. The title of that song is “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” The song speaks of a person ...read more

    Giving As A Group - Part Four Of Four In Series "Firstfruits" Series

    Contributed by Wade Leonard on Dec 4, 2007
     | 3,943 views

    Does God care about how we give as a group? Shouldn’t giving focus on what I give? After all, it’s up to me as to what I decide to give and how to give it, right? But does the Bible ever address “group giving?”

    Intro - John Young moved into an apartment tower in Chicago. The apartments had seen better days. All the colors had faded, the maintenance had been neglected and the mood of the place was downright ugly. It was just a real rough part of town. One of the things John noticed was that hardly ...read more

    She is one of the most influential people in the world today, but how is she influencing people?

    She is the quintessential rags to riches story. She started life without any of the breaks that you normally associate with those who will go on to dominate their field and she has made it all the way to the top. Probably one of the most powerful and influential women in the world she is Hillary ...read more

    This is an alliterated, textual sermon on "being the church", using Phoebe as an example. PowerPoint is avaible too, just e-mail me.

    BE THE CHURCH! Scott R. Bayles, pastor First Christian Church, Rosiclare, IL A mega-church in Vista, California made headlines last October when they canceled all of their worship services over the weekend.

    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more

    Up And Down And In And Out

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 12, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,120 views

    Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD: Worship involves four dimensions: UP toward God, our help; DOWN from our pride; IN toward a caring unity; and OUT toward a world in need.

    When I was in college, I had a math professor who would write a problem on the board, and then with a few deft strokes of his chalk, write the answer: X equals 12. Somehow, no matter what the problem, it seemed as though X always equaled twelve. But how did he get that? From long and complex ...read more

    God not only expects His people to be thankful, He enables them to do so.

    A. This coming Thursday is Thanksgiving. So in advance, let me say, “Happy Thanksgiving everyone.” 1. It is certainly one of my favorite days of the year, and arguably is the most important holiday of the year. 2. I’m thankful that we are a nation that still pauses one day a year to give thanks to ...read more

    We consider what is involved in growing up together into Christ our Head.

    Introduction We have been looking the past several weeks at the first half of Ephesians 4, in which the Apostle Paul discusses what the church is to be about. After three chapters extolling the blessings of God shown to believers in Christ Jesus, he now addresses how we live in response to those ...read more

    Ark, Anger, And Assurance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,612 views

    We become angry at God because our prayers are self-centered, but when they are not answered we shut down and avoid God. Until we see that the blessing is in the presence of God we will not reap joy.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, September 8, 1991 (this version); preached in slightly different form at Luther Rice Memorial Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD, July 30, 1978; Calvary Hill Baptist Church, Fairfax, VA, August 6, 1978; Forest Heights Baptist Church, Oxon Hill, MD, Sept. 9, 1979; ...read more

     | 5,428 views

    The church is defined, shaped and equipped with the gifts necessary to help the church to grow.

    When your favorite athletic team takes the floor or the field, all the players are dressed alike. But, no one considers this a liability. And it isn't. Their being dressed alike is one indication that they are a team and that they have a common purpose. However, if you look closely, you will see a ...read more

     | 5,120 views

    Jesus commends a rhythm for life - worship, then work.

    “Renewable Energy: The Rest of the Story” Luke 10:38-42 So with whom do you identify – Martha or Mary? Which one do you like better? I think I agree with the man who replied, “I like Martha best during dinner and I like Mary best after dinner.” It’s almost ...read more

    Faith Without Works Is Both Unprofitable And Dead! Series

    Contributed by John Wright on Feb 1, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,706 views

    James teaches that faith without works is dead and he uses for examples: helping the needy, the devils who believe but don't obey, Abraham and Rahab.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:14-26. This passage has much to say about the importance of both faith and works. 2. Years ago, there was an old gentleman whose job was to row people across a river at a spot where there was no other way to cross. (1) This elderly man was very ...read more
