    John tells us about Jesus raising Lazarus back to life. What does John want us to know about Jesus from this story?

    Video Clip: Princess Bride, “Mostly Dead” Connect: Today, in American society, we are obsessed with avoiding death. In the last 10 or fifteen years we have seen unthinkable advances in science and medicine – all of which are designed to makes our lives easier, to make us healthier, to correct ...read more

    Obedience Works! Series

    In one sense, the remnant was just like us--they had free access to the Word of God. God had just spoken His Word to them through Haggai and Zechariah. God’s Word was available--what were they going to do with it? What are we going to do with it?

    1. Obedience was immediate 2. Obedience was inspired 3. Obedience was inclusive 4. Obedience was investigated Imagine if you will, not having access to a Bible. Throughout history, that’s the way it’s been for most people. In the early church, the Bible consisted of the Greek translation of ...read more

    Loose Him And Let Him Go!

    based on 1 rating
     | 55,721 views

    This scene of Lazarus waddling out of the tomb in graves clothes is a picture of every new-born child of God, who, though alive from the dead, still needs assistance in throwing off the vestiges of the old life. They need our help!

    LOOSE HIM AND LET HIM GO! John 11:1-44 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I love little children – they see everything with ‘new’ eyes. We, as children of God, should have new eyes, fresh vision. 2. Sarah is a church member who likes to visit the elderly in a Senior Care Home. One day Sarah decided to ...read more

    Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023
     | 3,028 views

    By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

    When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

    A Sure Foundation In Jesus PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 31, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 187 views

    True faith stands firm through life’s storms when built on obedience to Jesus, who alone provides the unshakable foundation our hearts need.

    Friend, storms don’t make appointments. They don’t text ahead, and they don’t knock politely. They gather on the horizon and muscle their way into our Mondays. A pink slip on a Friday. A diagnosis on a Tuesday. A call at midnight that drops you to your knees. And there you stand in the downpour, ...read more

    The Half-Time Pep Talk

     | 5,226 views

    Things can be pretty tough there in the first half of the game. Certainly Timothy was not having a really great time. So let’s listen in to Paul’s half-time talk.

    Passage: 2 Timothy 2:1-13 Intro: Most team sports have some kind of intermission, half-time. 1. and if you have played on a crummy team, like the football team I played on in HS, you have heard the half-time “pep talk.” 2. supposed to energize, encourage, send the team back out with a “rah ...read more

    Redemption and the Obedience Factor (Isaiah 50:4-11) 1. [A] mother who wanted to have the last word but couldn't handle the hassle that resulted whenever she said no to her young son.

    This is the 1st sermon in the "A Time To..." series from Haggai. (This sermon and series is updated from 2004.)

    Series: A Time To… [#1] A TIME TO LISTEN Haggai 1:1-11 Introduction: On Wednesday Night, we listened to concerns about our Fall Festival. Have we forgotten the purpose of our event?

    Are we ready for the Coming Christ?

    Are You Ready? Matthew 25:1-13 Introduction Our series is Surprise Endings. Just like many favorite movies and mysteries, Jesus’ parables often carried an element of surprise, a plot twist that we may not be ready for as we are reading. In the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, all the ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the parables of Jesus. What does the parable in Luke 18 mean?

    PERSEVERANCE IN PRAYER AND HUMILITY Key Scripture: Luke 18:1-14 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always prapy and not give up. He said, “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept ...read more

    A survey of the Angel’s activities in the prophecy of Daniel and Revelation

    The Angels The Angels are key players in God’s overall end times plan. He uses them mightily throughout the book of Daniel, the Old Testament parallel to the book of the Revelation. And, even though almost 2600 years have passed since the time Daniel’s book was written, the angels continue to ...read more

    In These Last Days

     | 8,005 views

    The Word provides a description of life in the "last days." We are forewarned so that we can continue to live godly lives even as the world grows dark.

    “Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, ...read more

    Spiritual Armor For Spiritual War

    Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Sep 27, 2001
    based on 37 ratings
     | 22,225 views

    Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about fighting the kind of war in this scripture. For, as Ephesians 6:10-12 says, it’s not a battle of flesh and blood, but of the spirit.

    Spiritual Armor for Spiritual War "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -- (Ephesians 6:12) Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about ...read more

    Jesus' beloved friends had requested He come for their urgent need. But He didn't show up when He could have? What are we to think when God doesn't answer our prayers--there's only silence--and midnight passes?

    Boy, we live in some tumultuous times, don’t we? Earthquake and tsunami in Japan. A nuclear disaster there as a result. Uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya. Our nation involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. And wasn’t it only a few months ago that a huge earthquake ...read more

    Maybe the Lord didn't show up when you needed Him. Maybe there was absolute silence in response to your most desperate prayers. It's happened before, and to people Jesus loved dearly. What could account for Jesus' seeming uncaring response?
