    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,405 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

    The Winner's Code Series

    Contributed by David Diyanni on Nov 4, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,613 views

    People who win a lot, teams that win a lot and people who succeed in life all have a lot in common. There are certain things they do and certain things they don’t do that somehow they all figure out. This is called the Winner’s code.

    Introduction A. Today we are going to finish our sermon series “Winner’s Code.” People who win a lot, teams that win a lot and people who succeed in life all have a lot in common. There are certain things they do and certain things they don’t do that somehow they all figure out. This is called the ...read more

    Leaving A Legacy Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,870 views

    You haven’t completed the race until you’ve passed the baton.

    A number of years ago I heard about a survey of centenarians (people 100 years or older). The study asked these folks if they had any regrets about their lives. One of the top answers of the survey was: I wish I could leave something that lives beyond me. Another way of saying it is leave a ...read more

    Disqualified! Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Nov 14, 2008
     | 9,469 views

    Don’t let a desire for instant gratification disqualify you from God’s best.

    I think the five most nauseating words a person can hear are, “I’m sorry, you’ve been disqualified.” Disqualification means that no matter how hard you try or how well you’ve done, you will not reach your goal. There’s something that you can never have because you’ve been disqualified. ...read more

    Meanwhile...

    Contributed by Monty Newton on Nov 19, 2012

     | 6,960 views

    Meanwhile, as we live in between what was and what will be, we live good and peaceful lives.

    Despite the increasingly chaotic global landscape and a growing sense of doom and even an impending apocalypse… I suspect relatively few are associating an apocalypse with the Second Coming of Christ. Few are living prepared for that event which II Peter 3:10 says will be like a thief coming ...read more

    How To Spot A Fool

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,504 views

    Although being an April fool is relatively harmless, being a real fool isn’t. Let’s find out why?

    HOW TO SPOT A FOOL INTRODUCTION: On April 1st, 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in an American newspaper announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" especially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the ...read more

    The Porch - Pt. 3 - Porch Parties Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Apr 20, 2014
     | 4,592 views

    It is a prominent feature in our lives and our memories. A place of safety. A place of provision. It's "The Porch!"

    The Porch Pt. 3 - Porch Parties In a Norman Rockwell like way Jesus crafts the account that for centuries has been lauded for its depth and for its truth. Close your eyes and see if you can recreate the scene in your mind. Peering down the hillside you see the homestead. Surrounded by a strong ...read more

    We are call to be faithful, not successful

    August 9, 2015 Church Planting Knocked Down, Not Out Acts 14:8-20 Opening words: In 1858 the Illinois legislature--using an obscure statute--sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote. When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln ...read more

    Barriers

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 28, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 33,254 views

    Instead of removing barriers to faith, Jesus erects them. Why?

    The story we have read together today is surprising in many ways. The way Jesus handles this situation is confusing, because some of the things Jesus are saying are upsetting his followers, and it seems that he does not make it easier, but harder for them. Our natural instinct is to take down ...read more

    “generational Conflict” blessing Others Through Humility And Respect Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jun 3, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,595 views

    Generational Conflict is not new. We learn from the Joseph story that Humility from the Old will encourage the young to accomplish great things, and Respect from the young will provide honor that is due to their seniors.

    An article in “Christianity Today” suggests that many churches have become segregated - not by race, but by age. Mollie Hemmingway writes about a newly started church that meets in a movie theater. All of the attenders are under 30. They are single, professional, independent and hip. ...read more

    Winning In The Now

     | 7,134 views

    We must never forget, no matter what we may ever be told or think we see, we win! We win, in the end! And I would tell you just as important as the news is we win in the end! We also, win in the now!

    Winning in the Now! I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus, No Turning Back, No Turning Back... Those are the words to an amazing hymn. Maybe you’ve never sang those words, but if you have...what do they mean to you? To me, they ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Six) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 23, 2019
     | 3,964 views

    Up until now in our series we've covered the beatitudes and being salt and light. Today I'll be talking about the law. That was OT stuff; we're NT Christians so why do we need to pay attention to the law? As Christians what's our relation to the law?

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part six) Matt. 5:17-18 Up until now in our series we've covered topics that were somewhat familiar and perhaps more practically applicable than what we'll be looking at today. Today I'll be talking about the law. If you've read through the OT, there may ...read more

    Charging God Foolishly

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on May 4, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 16,650 views

    In the face of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have the power to choose our response. When we choose Faith Over Fear - Wisdom Over Worry - And Prayer Over Panic -- we can experience the “PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING” that we read about in PHILIPPIANS 4:7.

    TITLE: CHARGING GOD FOOLISHLY SCRIPTURE: JOB 1:21-22 On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced the Coronavirus or what we now refer to as COVID-19 a Pandemic. Two days later, on March 13, 2020, the United States through the White House announced the coronavirus pandemic to be a ...read more

    On this third Sunday of June that has been designated as Father’s Day – I want to challenge men to return to the word of God. This Old and New Testament text says -- HE WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN.

    TITLE: FATHERHOOD SCRIPTURE: MALACHI 4:4-6 / ST. LUKE 1:17 Fatherhood is the foundation of the heart and love of God. And that is what is missing from this generation. All the insurmountable problems we are facing as a nation today go back to the home, which is the greatest centralized force ...read more

    Coulda Hada Pear: Overview Series

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Mar 3, 2020
     | 2,157 views

    Our lives have many little 'garden of Edens' and areas of responsibility, trust, and ownership handed to us by God. We tend to go through a Temptation, Deductive Reason, and Resulting Calamity sequence of our walk with the Lord.

    We have all had those “I wish I would have done it that way” moments in our lives. They are not really regrets as much as simply looking back and realizing we could have done things differently. This Coulda Hada Pear presentation is a series of writings, sections, chapters that explore what Adam ...read more
