  • Survivors And Castaways Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2000
    based on 60 ratings
     | 5,315 views

    The fundamental stance we have before God is critical to everything else in our lives, for personal idolatries, failed intimacies, and low self-esteem are all results of our not experiencing salvation.

    When I was young, and riding a bicycle, we didn’t wear helmets. Nobody had thought of such a thing. And even if they had, no government was telling us we had to wear helmets. I haven’t even worn so much as a hat since I reached the age of 13, much less a helmet. So when we spilled, we spilled, ...read more

    Leaving the past behind and getting on with our spiritual walk

    It had been an interesting spring. I suppose interesting would be a good word to use here. They had seen their best friend tried in a Roman Court and sentenced to death. They had seen him nailed to a cross and die, they had seen him taken down and buried. Three days later they saw him alive ...read more

    He is the same Lord, who, before the foundation of the world, determined to die for us, knowing all that we would do.

    “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.” There are many passages of scripture, whether they be a single sentence in a verse or a paragraph or an entire chapter, which seem to be picked very often for sermons, or to quote in conversation because they stand apart in ...read more

    There is nothing in your past...or future...so heinous, that God cannot forgive a repentant heart.

    “It’s not what’s happening today that drags a man down. It’s remorse over what happened yesterday, and dread of tomorrow.” - man to bartender on Perry Mason episode. Think about that statement for a moment. There is really a lot of truth in it, you know. Man is basically a fighter. A ...read more

  • Jesus: Master Evangelist

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 131 ratings
     | 7,474 views

    The Savior meets us right where we are.

    It may seem a little unnecessary at first...sort of stating the obvious, to call Jesus “Master Evangelist”. The word evangelist means, ‘messenger’, or ‘one sent out’, and He is the one who has sent out every messenger of God; whether man or angels. Since it is His message that they bring; ...read more

    An incomprehensive study on the ’one another’ verses. Part 3

    I want to draw your attention to something most of us would never, otherwise, pause to consider very carefully...something that, in a way, we take for granted. Bearing another person’s burdens. Think about this. When a man sees a woman carrying something, it is considered gentlemanly for him ...read more

  • Confessing To One Another Series

    based on 79 ratings
     | 8,241 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 7

    When I chose this topic as the final installment of our study on the ‘one another’ verses, it was chosen as last only by virtue of where it fell in the New Testament. The first one, “Building Up One Another” was from Romans 14, and each sermon after that has come in order of the epistles ...read more

    Jesus warns some people of the consequences of rejecting Him.

    You did not study real hard for the math test. After all, you are a pretty sharp guy and you have always gotten good grades in the class. The test seemed pretty easy, and you are fairly certain you aced it. The teacher is handing the tests back right now. You glance over at Jimmy at the next desk. ...read more

  • Fragile: Handle With Care

    based on 41 ratings
     | 19,580 views

    Our eternal salvation is secure because of Christ, but when it comes to the daily routine of following the Lord, we desperately need God's grace each day.

    Every now and then I receive, or send, a package labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care." It might be a very expensive crystal vase inside, or maybe it is just a small toy, but the purpose of the label is to warn the friendly UPS, or Postal Service, employee that if they are not careful how they handle ...read more

     | 14,101 views

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

  • See You In Court

    A look at what Paul says about Christians and lawsuits

    The United States is clearly the world's leader in lawyers and litigation. There are almost one million lawyers in our country, over twice as many as there were twenty years ago.

  • Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,463 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

     | 5,351 views

    This message looks at the need for honouring our aging parents.

    A little bit of a change in direction here. Early in January we started this series on the Ten Commandments, and after the first four messages we are about to make an abrupt turn. The first four commandments dealt with our relationship with God. They were vertical commands, and now they have ...read more
