    "Dear Woman, Here Is Your Son" Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on May 4, 2003
    based on 58 ratings
     | 25,597 views

    This statement speaks of the love and responsibility Jesus felt for his mother. But I also challenge you to see this from a different angle. His total obedience also showed the cost that total obedience can have on the family. We also see the cost of o

    Today we come to the third week of our seven week series on the Statements from the Cross. Last week our statement was, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” A wonderful statement about salvation and what awaits those who put their trust and faith in Christ.

    The Nativity Scene And Peace

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,026 views

    A Christmas Eve sermon preached Christmas Eve, 2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran CHurch, Audubon, IA. It looks at the nativity scene.

    While the birth of our Savior took place over 2000 years ago, I want to begin our Christmas sermon a little more recently. It’s the fall of 1944. Eduard Kaib, an architecht who was serving as a non-commissioned officer in the German army, had been captured by American forces in combat. Kaib ...read more

    First Baptist Church Exodus 20:12 Ephesians 6:1-4 “Do you want a spanking? This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you. Do you want a timeout? You don’t want me to pull this car over!

    Why Struggles Are Worth The Trouble Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,708 views

    James gives us some good reasons why we really should embrace the storms in our lives. Without the storms we would be weak and incomplete.

    Two men were walking through a field one day when they spotted an enraged bull. Instantly they darted toward the nearest fence. The storming bull followed in hot pursuit, and it was soon apparent they wouldn’t make it. Terrified, the one shouted to the other, "Put up a prayer, John. We’re in for ...read more

    God calms hearts with astounding promises to captivate believing souls.

    Scripture Introduction For the disciples, quality time with Jesus in the Upper Room has not been pleasant. First, the Lord embarrasses them by taking the form of a slave and washing their feet (an act far beneath his dignity, especially since they felt so acutely that it was beneath theirs). Then ...read more

    Defining Love - Sacrifice Isn't Optional Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 16, 2013
     | 4,855 views

    The people of Jesus know how to sacrifice. Genuine followers of Jesus know what it means to be faithful and experience joy in suffering. How about you? Are you weird like that?

    We're in the second week of our series "defining love" last time we talked about how genuine love, God's love, isn't normal. We defined love as faithful and that the result of faithfulness is joy. We talked about how our culture defines love in a million different ways, but, God defines love much ...read more

    Why Me?

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,195 views

    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

    Divine Dialogue -- Perspective On Prayer Series

     | 4,650 views

    First in a series on Prayer dealing with a proper perspective of prayer.

    “Divine Dialogue” Part One Prayer is one of the most talked about topics in the Bible. It is also one of the most misunderstood and mysterious topics of the Bible. Prayer is probably the least practiced discipline among God-followers. At its simplest level, prayer is talking with God rather than ...read more

    Watch And Pray

     | 11,107 views

    Let us daily call on God, let us continually approach God’s throne of mercy to access the wonderful privileges, benefits and blessings that are found in the place of prayer.

    To understand the meaning of the phrase ‘Watch and Pray’, let us look at Matthew 26:36-46 where Jesus used this phrase. In the context of this scripture, in this situation where Jesus instructed His disciples to ‘Watch and Pray’, what He meant was: • Stay awake and pray with me. • Don’t sleep, be ...read more

     | 2,735 views

    A truly amazing story in the OT is the promise that God made to Abram and Sarai that involved them having a son. Sarai unable to have children. The Promise was unexpected! As time went by, both of them passed the age of childbearing and there was a lot of mystery around God’s promise.

    Can God Be Trusted

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 11, 2005
    based on 36 ratings
     | 10,740 views

    When things don’t go our way, we sometimes catch ourselves not only wondering what God is doing, but if God can be trusted to care for us and cause the circumstances in our lives to have a positive impact upon us.

    Psalm 37:1-6, 25-33 “Can God Be Trusted?” INTRODUCTION Trust is one of the most fragile items on the planet earth. It is difficult to build up and it can be destroyed by a careless action. Once trust has been broken, it takes an even longer time to piece it back together. There are times ...read more
