    This morning we continue toward the conclusion of our series on God’s vision for us, “A fully following and faithfully functioning church.” We spent the month of January looking at the lives of 10 Biblical characters and how they illustrate what it means to fully follow God. And we have spent the ...read more

    Prayer And Relationship

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 6, 2002
    based on 68 ratings
     | 6,470 views

    Why does God desire us to pray? Because He wants a relationship.

    Today is the first Sunday of the year 2002. It’s also the beginning of our third year worshipping together as a church. And for the benefit of those who haven’t been keeping careful track, this is also the 100th sermon I’ve preached from this pulpit (or music stand, or whatever it is). So in ...read more

    The World Demands A Life-Giving Vision Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2002
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,996 views

    Sermon delivered in support of our theme for 2002, and on the occasion of our annual meeting. A vision brings death if it is not communicated; it is discerned in prayer; and it always calls for repentance for the incompleteness of our obedience.

    Two things you learn, if you are at all observant about churches. First, that church people do not agree on their vision of what the church should be about; and, second, that the world knows what the church ought to be about better than church people know. We who gather week by week as the church ...read more

    How does God meet our needs in crisis times if we trust Him

    "The Lord Will Provide" Text - Genesis 22:1-19 "Where’s God in all of this?" The question was thrown down like a challenge, almost defiantly, by the person who had come to visit me.

    Playing Follow The Leader Series

    based on 17 ratings
     | 11,795 views

    Leaders must lead with truth instead of deception, with grace instead of power, and with unswerving commitment to the the least and the lost.

    Several things prompt this message. First and foremost, I bring this message because I know that it is crucial to teach and re-teach our church’s vision. Everyone needs to understand what we are trying to do as a church. Just saying it once or twice does not get the story told. I want to ...read more

    Some­thing hap­pened to me, which was known only to my­self, and which caused me the most se­vere men­tal suf­fer­ing. The hymn was the fruit of that suf­fer­ing. It was the quick­est bit of work I ever did in my life. I had the im­press­ion of hav­ing it

    O Joy That Seeks Me Through Pain (Psa 23:3) He restores my soul.

    Wife, it’s not just up to you, but you’re the HEART of the HOME, in almost every circumstance. You will keep the relationship alive more than he will. Yes, he must cooperate, but you’re the one who will keep the bridge in good shape!

    The Heart of the Home Wives, it’s your turn this morning! Seriously, I am preaching today in the context of the Christian wife and mother.

    Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: What God Gives To The Grieving Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 25, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,621 views

    Grieving healthily means remembering both positive and negative; it means connecting with others who can love us and whom we can love. In His own time God will give joy.

    One of the laws of life is: To get something, you must give up something. To gain, you must also lose. We call that the tradeoff principle. We operate on the tradeoff principle every day. When you go to the grocery store and fill your basket, they have the audacity to expect you to pay for what ...read more

    Message 1 in a series on spiritual disciplines. I discuss the first and second habit. The first discipline deals with the need regularly set aside time for God. The second is the need for regular declarations of submission.
