    A look at the various elements in the Lord’s prayer.

    C.L. Null, in Christian Reader says, “My Sunday school class of youngsters had some problems repeating the Lord’s Prayer, but they didn’t lack in imagination. One child prayed, ‘Our Father, who art in heaven, how’d you know my name?’” It is a wonderful thing when we realize that God knows our ...read more

    The body of Christ (his physical body, the bread, and the church) are most useful when broken, for God’s plans to save the world. Bulletin notes attached.

    John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Luke 22:19 – The Body of Christ Have you ever broken anything? A dish, a plate?

    based on 19 ratings
     | 6,338 views

    There are disputes over how often we observe the Lord’s supper, disputes over what type of bread, what type of wine, or juice to use. But there should be no dispute that we should observe the Lord’s supper in a right attitude!

    A.T. Pierson (A pastor in the 1800’s) The link between the cross and the crown is the Table of the Lord. Do not forget when you sit down at the communion, that the bread and cup point back to Christ’s accomplished work, and forward to your accomplished salvation. I. Our attitude should be one of ...read more

    This is the first sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

    The Abuse And Mockery Of Christ

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,245 views

    Though Jesus was mocked for claiming to be the King of the Jews, he is truly the King of kings and the Lord of lords and he is worthy to be worshipped as such. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction The term ‘war crimes’ refer to the crimes that violate the laws of war. Examples of war crimes include the willful killing of civilians or prisoners, torture, taking hostages, rape, sexual slavery, using child soldiers, etc. In 1474, the Roman Empire held the first international war ...read more

     | 1,016 views

    “Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.” (Psalm 119:18, NLT) This verse is a cry of humility, dependence, and hunger. It’s not just a request for physical sight but for spiritual illumination—to see, understand, and delight in the deep treasures of God’s Word.

    Open My Eyes, Lord: Discovering the Treasures of God’s Word - Psalm 119:18 Introduction Today, we gather around a prayer that has been whispered by the faithful for generations, a prayer that leads us into the very heart of God.

    When we ponder God in light of the Scriptures, we are overwhelmed with Who He is. Some of His attributes are lesser known than others, including what we call “summary attributes.”

    Those Summary Attributes 1. There is a joke that is so old some of you may never have heard it. I don’t think I’ve told it – at least during a sermon – for twenty years. 2. In the foyer of a church, a young boy was looking at a plaque with names of men and women.. He asked the pastor, “Who are ...read more
