This sermon takes a look at the cross through the eyes of the disciples and how the cross which was originally one of suffering and shame became one of rejoicing and elation.

How could they have been so wrong. One by one they each chose to leave everything and to answer the call to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. For 3 brief years they watched in anticipation as Jesus worked miracles and taught with authority. Peter even stated that Jesus was indeed the ...read more

God's Hope In Troubled Times

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Dec 12, 2006

based on 4 ratings

| 4,914 views

Through the birth of the Christ child and the visitation of the angels to the shepherds we see a God who cares and comes to us at our worst times to deliver us.

When we read the Christmas story of the birth of Christ I think we have a tendency to gloss over and glamorize what really happened. We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

A first person monologue, done as King David, who wishes he could feel the rush of victory when he first slew Goliath; but he has learned that evil recurs, does not recognize God, is related to power. He needs a greater than David to come and deal with i

Ah, if only I could go back to those wonderful days! If only I could be a young man again and feel the rush of victory! But I cannot. I am old and tired, and I feel defeated. I have lost so much. My body is weary and my soul is drained. If only I could go back and feel victory ...read more

Rolling Stones: Leverage Or Fear?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 29, 2003

based on 54 ratings

| 7,899 views

The risen Christ rolls away the stones that hold us back: secrets we carry, fears and suspicions. He provides "leverage" to move these things out of the way.

What giant stone stands in your way? What stops you from becoming what you want to become? You have dreams, hopes, goals. But something stops you. Not enough money? Not enough time? Maybe. But I would guess that some very large spiritual thing stands in your way. If you sift through all the ...read more

based on 57 ratings

This sermon starts by looking at just how amazing it is that the word became flesh and then continues by looking at how truly amazing it is that since God was made a child we can become His children.

Some times we do things that, well just aren’t too smart. In my case, this happens on a weekly basis. A while back, I heard a noise out near our trashcans and I looked out there to see a large raccoon digging for a little midnight snack. This had to be stopped. So the brave hunter I am, I got ...read more
