    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 5,785 views

    This morning, I invite you to consider with me, “How do people actually have a life-changing encounter?” Is it near death experience that causes us to change? What would cause you to change?

    We continue our series, My Crazy Family, the story of Jacob. Jacob is a complex character – we would say in our day, “He’s a piece of work.” Jacob’s life is a Russian nesting doll with one conflict inside conflict inside yet another, conflict. What begins as a conflict with his twin brother Esau, ...read more

     | 410 views

    Hope is important to our existence. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead gives us a living hope and complete assurance of God's promises and power.

    A. One day Lucy and Linus were sitting in front of the television set when Lucy said to Linus, “Go get me a glass of water.” 1. Linus looked surprised and said, “Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for me.” 2. Lucy replied, “On you 75th birthday, I’ll bake you a ...read more

    Remembering You Series

     | 5,109 views

    Comfort in the dark days come from remembering especially the love and the commitment of those with whom we have shared in the battles of the Faith.

    “I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother ...read more

    Pastoral Personal Conduct

     | 6,706 views

    Timothy is instructed in how he is to conduct his life as a minister of Christ. Thus, each servant of the Master is taught how he should conduct his life and ministry.

    “Command and teach these things. Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, ...read more

    An Old Commandment That Is Now New

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 27, 2014
     | 5,129 views

    We may either love one another or hate one another; there is no halfway in this situation. God calls us to love. Failure to love is hatred.

    “Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing ...read more

    To avoid appointing unqualified people to the eldership, the elders must take time to know these candidates.

    “Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure. (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.) The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the ...read more

    Joys False Or Complete Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2004
    based on 46 ratings
     | 3,125 views

    For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

    Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more

    This is an updated copy of my sermon on the Pro Life issue. I have revised it and brought it more up to date.

    Sanctity of Human Life Psalms 139:11-16 The day started out by waking up early. You see in our house we always decorate the floor with balloons on the kids birthday.

    Just Say No Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 24, 2003
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,632 views

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more

    Fire Of Glory, Fire Of Drought

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 8, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 10,285 views

    We have experienced the warm glow of God’s blessings, but the fire of judgment is also at hand, for worship becomes ritual, there is a critical spirit, and pessimism spreads. Diligence and integrity bring vitality in worship.

    In all the annals of human history, there is one item which has held out more hope and yet offered more terror than any other. Wherever human beings gathered, in the infancy of our race, there this one item, this one element, both attracted them and repelled them; it drew them close and yet it ...read more

    God's Bookkeeping Method Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 6, 2004
    based on 74 ratings
     | 6,873 views

    Unlike the world, which assumes that we must make a profit and we get what we pay for, God’s bookkeeping says that giving is receiving, and you get more than you pay for. You get grace paid for by the blood of Jesus.

    In the last several months I have learned more about bookkeeping than I ever wanted to know. Because the church is converting from bookkeeping by hand to an accounting software, and because our financial leadership does not yet have access to all of that, I began to record transactions on the ...read more
