    The Misunderstood Meek Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 16, 2011
     | 6,746 views

    Most people think that meek is a person who is a pushover, a person who other people can force their will upon them. They see someone who is meek as spineless and maybe even a coward. This sermon examines what it really means to be meek.

    Today we continue on in our series on the Beatitudes. Last week we looked at the attitude “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” We talked about the fact that it is good to mourn our own sin and shortcomings in our life. When we have sinned or have sin in our ...read more

    Commissioned

    As Christians, we derive our authority directly from Jesus Christ, the universe's highest, sovereign power, and as such, he's charging us to reaffirm our commission to fulfill our duties and responsibilities to go out and make disciples of all nations.

    INTRO In just a bit, we’re going turn in our bibles to the Gospel according to Matthew 28, and look at VV 16–20. Specifically, we’re going to see why this portion of scripture is called “The Great Commission,” what that meant for the disciples, and what that means ...read more

    The Indestructible Fortress

    Christianity in general and our churches in particular are being pounded from without and within into facades of irrelevancy. . .

    THE INDESTRUCTIBLE FORTRESS Matthew 16:13-18 Rev. Todd G. Leupold, Lifepointe Fellowship, Hutto, TX 6/26/11 AM INTRO: A DEFINING CHALLENGE Through twenty years of active and broad ministry, I think I have a pretty good understanding of what is happening in the American Church overall. ...read more

    The Other Cup Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,426 views

    Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.

    One of the things that still divides our denomination is the matter of “inclusive language.” It’s a difference that lines up pretty much the same way as all the other hot-button issues, with theological liberals on one side and theological conservatives on the other. But there ...read more

    Our role in taking on the burdens of others and living a Christian life.

    2nd Pentecost 11 Life and simple acts of kindness. Mathew 10: 40-42 This morning’s gospel is one of the shortest in the lectionary only being 2 verses long so I wanted to back up and take in two more verses so that this will make more sense to you the hearer. 38* and he who does not take his ...read more

    God will examine our hearts as well as our actions, and will judge us fairly based on how we lived this life. So let’s look at these verses in Romans 2 and see if we’re ready for Payday.

    Payday Is Coming! Romans 2:6-16 Intro: A pastor of a small church once received the following letter signed by “A Faithful Member”: Dear Pastor: You often stress attendance at worship as being very important for a Christian, but I think a person has a right to miss Sunday worship ...read more

    Talk 7 in a series of 8. This talk owes a great deal to Bill Hybels book Becoming a Contagious Christian. Don’t try to be anyone else, just be youself. Find out how God wants YOU to share Jesus with others.

    [Note to the Reader: This sermon owes a great deal to the excellent book by Bill Hybels and Mark Mittelberg entitled Becoming a Contagious Christian] St. Paul writes, ‘There are different gifts, but the same spirit’ (1 Cor. 12:4); and later in his letter to the Corinthians he writes these things: ...read more

    Holy Spirit convicts us of the precise sin(s) that may be keeping us from being intimate with God.

    My parents home in East Tennessee sits atop a beautiful hill that overlooks hay-fields & an old cattle barn. At the base of our driveway use to stand an Old White Oak Tree that dated back to the late 1800s. It had stood there long before my grandparents ever settled on the property.

    How Will God Find You?

     | 6,169 views

    Many times we as Christians live our lives in the dark. We think we are reasonably good people trying our best. But our past, our associations, the flesh, and the culture around us, conspire to blind us to many things that are not like the Lord going on i

    The church today is in trouble. Two recent surveys show that church attendance, even among professing Christians, is way down. Many people today also feel that while they acknowledge faith in Jesus, also want a Burger King style religion—the “have it your way” mentality of ...read more

    God gave His power to the believer so that he can do exploits for His kingdom with it, and to overcome all the power of darkness.

    BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER Study Text: Luke 10: 17 – 20. And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

    Do Something!!!

    Contributed by Marc Phillips on Nov 18, 2014

     | 7,337 views

    We must be doers of the word, not just hearers. Sermon uses the song "Do Something" By Matthew West as an illustration to show that we are God's hands and feet, who are we to complain about things, and not do anything about them?

    Psalms 31:23 “O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful and fully recompenses the proud doer.”What does that mean? What does it mean to love the Lord biblically? My understanding of biblical love includes an attitudinal response and demonstrated obedience, ...read more

     | 6,475 views

    It's easy to be disillusioned about God when he doesn't do what we expect but in reality we are disillusioned about ourselves and don't really know God.

    Have you ever been disillusioned? What does it mean? To open someone’s eyes; to shatter someone’s illusions; to pop or break someone’s bubble and to prick or put a pin in someone’s balloon. This expression refers to the fragile nature of both soap bubbles and human ...read more
