    Don't Give Up On Prayer Or On The Return Of Jesus!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 20, 2010
     | 3,791 views

    God will answer our prayers. Jesus will return - but both often seem to be taking such a long time! This short talk encourages us not to give up on prayer, nor to give up on the return of Jesus.

    On 10th May 2003, through the post I received six letters concerning my claim for Tax Credits - much to my annoyance, since I made my application quite some time before. Back in 2003 the Tax Credit Office were singled out for a lot of criticism, and every day there seemed to be a story of a ...read more

    This is a sermon calling us to repentance from a better than thou attitude of the Pharisee

    When we look at the text today we see that Dr. Luke made no bones about who Jesus was addressing in this parable. Jesus was telling this parable to the high and mighty, holier than thou folks. He was addressing the religious folks that acted like they were just a little better than everyone else. ...read more

    Embracing Life And Living Life Among Others Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 31, 2016
     | 6,298 views

    Sooner or later, we must revise our expectations downward and realize that it is not God’s will for us to always feel happy. Instead, we must embrace all of life with a view toward loving God and loving others.

    Embracing Life and Living Life Among Others (topical) 1. Does your life ever feel like this? 2. I was reading recently about a man who awoke one morning to find a puddle of water in the middle of his king-size water bed.

    Father, Son And Holy Spirit: Practical Implications Of The Triune God

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Jun 18, 2017
     | 9,577 views

    The doctrine, importance and value of the triune God is incalculable for born-again Christians. Denying this doctrine rejects the whole of Christianity.

    Humorist Garrison Keillor, host of the radio show “A Prairie Home Companion,” said this of love: “We should not think that we have figured this out, because it is not a problem, it’s a mystery and always will be.” “It is not a problem, it’s a mystery, and always will be.” We’ve become so advanced ...read more

    Today we will talk about how God has designed each of us in our own unique way. We will discover that sometimes we have to search for purpose before we can live it and we will talk about “Playing in the Sand”.

    ¥ I use everyday life illustrations because I want us to understand that God is trying to communicate with us everyday! There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more

    To Swerve Or Not To Swerve? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 6, 2016
     | 5,965 views

    The Jews and Jewish believers so cherished Moses, they were tempted to exalt him above Jesus, or to make them equals. Jesus demands to be our primary loyalty.

    To Swerve or Not to Swerve? (Hebrews 3:1-14) 1. Doug Anderson recently shared a joke with me that illustrates the distinction between cause and correlation. Here goes. An Amish man and his son are at the shopping mall for the first time. They see two shiny doors open (an elevator) and an elderly ...read more
