    Marriage Is A Triangle

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 13, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,904 views

    January 1988. Marriage is more than a contract between two people. It must involve God and working toward the purposes of God; otherwise it is a divorce, whether the law is involved or not.

    There are all sorts of reasons not to preach this sermon! There area all kinds of problems kicked up because I have felt led to conclude our series of studies in the prophet Malachi with one of his most pointed and deliberate passages: his passage on marriage and divorce. Getting into this topic ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,943 views

    Without Christ we are just ordinary people, ordinary creation, who don’t experience the extraordinary hand of a living God. Without Christ we are without joy, peace, wisdom, self-control, patience, and the strength to live the life it was meant to be.

    The PraiseFest in Jerusalem Scripture References: Luke 19:35 – 40; Matthew 21:8 –11; Mark 11:8 - 10 Introduction The donkey awakened, his mind still savoring the afterglow of the most exciting day of his life.

    Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2003
    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,129 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

     | 6,237 views

    From a simple look at the two thieves hanging with Jesus, we find that there are really only two choices to make about Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION Last week I said that from Genesis to Revelation there has only ever been one plan of salvation, “for by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.”(1) Today we look back at the cross by faith and put ...read more

    When Jesus is in the house, lives can and will be transformed.

    Years ago at theaters and plays, when a person got sick, someone would ask the question, is there a doctor in the house?
