    Finding Gold In The Garbage Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,909 views

    No one whose hope is in God will be put to shame. It is not the harsh realities that defeat us but our inability to see God¡¯s goodness and will in them. Trust the Sovereign God who is in control and still very much involved in your life.

    [Main thoughts taken from Max Lucado’s book Just Like Jesus] Theme: A Hopeful Heart Hope is like gold in the garbage. - In the midst of all the trash you find something precious. - In the midst of the darkness you see a ray of light. Look at Jesus at the lowest point of His life - the night ...read more

    Vultures And Hummingbirds

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Aug 31, 2018
     | 4,782 views

    You always find what you are looking for; therefore, be careful what you look for.

    Two birds fly over our nation’s deserts: One is the hummingbird and the other is the vulture. Vultures find the rotting meat of the desert, because that is what they look for. They thrive on that diet. Hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful ...read more

    Three things happen in the process of salvation: 1) there is a confrontation with the Savior, 2) there is a confrontation with sin, and 3) there is a transformation in the believer.

    Title: Living Water Series: The Harvest Is Ripe Text: John 4:7-18, 28-29, 39 Illustration: Only Through Christ Muhammad Ali writes: "My mother was a Baptist.

    Life is meaningless if we leave God and eternity out of the picture.

    Intro: 1. “Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death.

    Drawing From A Deeper Well

    We must open ourselves to God’s love and grace, fully, and let His light illuminate the dark corners of our lives and bring healing and grace to our wounded places and reconciliation to our broken relationships.

    “Drawing from a Deeper Well” – John 4:5-42 We began our Lenten journey with our Adam & Eve covered in fig leaves setting out from the Garden of Eden into the world of the unknown. Last week we saw Abraham answering the call to leave everything behind and set his heart toward the ...read more

    Spiritual Paralysis And Literary Sandwiches

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 770 views

    This Morning, we take a special look at Jesus Healing the Paralytic , and how the story reveals to us what is MOST IMPORTANT, the Forgiveness of Sins.

    We have two types of paralytics in our lesson this morning, physical and Spiritual. Unfortunately, we will see how the spiritual paralytics actually want to remain how they are, rather than see the Great physician. The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

     | 5,456 views

    The first words about God’s promise of Christmas happened immediately after the fall. After God learned about the terrible loss, he promised to Eve that good news was coming. From her would come a male offspring who would crush the head of Satan who jus

    Grace and peace to you from God who comes to us at Christmas time and will come to us again. Amen. Dear Friends in Christ: Have you ever feared you might miss Christmas?

     | 3,928 views

    This is an expository sermon preached to demonstrate the foolishness of turning away from Christ and seeking fulfillment apart from Him.

    Introduction: Have you ever placed little value on something, only to miss it dearly once it was gone? We’ve often heard the saying, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” Example: Earlier this year while itinerating to raise up our missions support, after completing a missions service ...read more

    Faith is a journey, but it is not one we ever take alone. We can be draw strength and encouragement from those who have paved the way ahead of us.

    Hebrews 11:29-12:2 – “A Well-Worn Path” I learned the stories of the Bible through flannel board narrative in Sunday School as a child. While not as high tech as a 3D Moses crossing the Red Sea on Blue Ray, it stretched my imagination to make room for these people and their ...read more

    Creeds Within The Bible Series

    Contributed by Keith Foskey on Apr 15, 2014
     | 3,592 views

    The entire bible is meant to be believed and confessed. These are just a few of the passages which have the qualities of creeds, in that they specify what it is that is being taught and believed.

    Church History: Examining the Creeds and Confessions of the Church Through the Ages and Why They Matter. Lesson 2: Creeds and Confessions within the Bible Last week, we began our study of Church History by taking a brief glance at the major events of the past 2,000 years. I said from the ...read more

    Jesus Before Pilate Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,656 views

    The trials on Jesus’ last earthly day picture the religious & political world’s rejection of Jesus & His claims. He came unto His own and they did not receive Him. Sin’s blindness leads to Jesus’ dying because of who He is, God in human flesh.

    LUKE 23: 1–5-7 JESUS BEFORE PILATE [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Mark 15:1–5; Mt. 5:10-12] Jesus’ last day begins with Him being rejected and condemned by the Jewish ruling counsel and then being hauled before Pilate. The irony of their judgement is that Jesus will be crucified for being who He ...read more

    Transformation: Possible--The Transformation Of Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 9,720 views

    This sermon reflects on the transformation of Zacchaeus from taker to giver, from greedy to generosity and seeks to discover how we might apply that same transformation to our lives.

    Okay. We can’t read Zacchaeus without doing some short jokes, right? Why do short people get mad so easily? Because they have short tempers! Unfortunately, I crashed into the back of a car at the lights today. A really short guy got out of the car and said, “I’m not ...read more
