    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,180 views

    Sometimes we are so burdened we can't even express words in our prayers. When you're praying if you don't know the words to say, don't worry. God understands sigh language.

    INTRODUCTION After a break for the holidays and the Treasure Truth series, we’re back in the Gospel According to Mark. I’m calling this series, “The reMARKable Power of Jesus.” What you don’t know can hurt you—or embarrass you. It’s important to understand what things mean. I found an actual text ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 12, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 10,176 views

    This message contrasts Jesus’ call to repentance with the world’s call to ’find some good in your heart.’

    - Concerning how we should look into our heart, there is a huge difference between the messages we receive from our society and from Jesus. - Today’s consistent message on looking into your heart is “Have self-esteem.” (That is, find the good in your heart; emphasize the reasons to like ...read more

  • "The Lure Of Lawlessness” Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 8, 2002
    based on 114 ratings
     | 8,698 views

    At the time of the Judges, Israel was out of control and accountable to no one. When God’s revelation is rejected, when we try to live independent of God, things that were once regarded as abominable and appalling are accepted as commonplace.

    “The Lure of Lawlessness” Judges chapters 18-21 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts The days of the Judges were Israel’s “Dark Ages”, a time of lawlessness, confusion, and idolatry—in other words, it was a moral mess. The Judges were barely able to ...read more

    This message is about the season of hope in Christ that is right in our midst that can be hidden in the difficult or buried in the familiar.

  • The American Philosophy

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,553 views

    God has blessed this nation over the two hundred plus years it has existed, but our sins and growing hatred of God and righteousness has reduced it to a rubble of what it once was. Can anything be done for America to steer it back to its Judeo-Christian foundation? You may not like the answer.

    This is a sermon I preached some years ago and recently reviewed it for any rewrites, revisions, or updates. Considering all of the anger, rage, chaos, and moral rot we see in this country, I saw no need to change what the Lord had impressed upon me. Even now it still cries out to anyone having ...read more

  • A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

    Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021
     | 5,597 views

    I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

    I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon. Some interesting observations: It wasn’t the time of the afternoon sacrifice; but rather the ...read more

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,048 views

    Let us concentrate on the fact that we have entered into the heavenly Jerusalem even now rather than all the trials we now face.

    We're Marching to Zion Hebrews 12:18-29 In 1707, a hymn-writer named Isaac Watts wrote a hymn beginning with the words “Come ye that love the Lord.” It is a joyful hymn of praise which calls us to reflect on all God has provided for us. It also reminds us of the final goal of our Christian ...read more

    Contributed by John Huyser on Apr 24, 2023
     | 1,040 views

    Who hasn't pulled into the wrong driveway, knocked on the wrong door, absent-mindedly lifted the handle of the wrong car door or let a ball go astray into another yard? What is triggering all the senseless violence? How do we process this as believers and regain our sense of safety?

    Once a month – every 29.5 days according to NASA, we have a full moon where the sun fully illuminates the moon’s visible disk.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 10, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,204 views

    To be an effective and compassionate church, we must risk the criticism of those who would like us to do church within our old confines. But not to take risks may cause our best to leave us. This is a time to work for peace, family life, community.

    “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun; and makes gaps even two can pass abreast.” "Something there is that doesn’t love a wall …” So speaks the poet Robert Frost, reflecting on the ravages of a New ...read more

    The message of the manger. What is the significance of the manager for us today.

    No Christmas song is more loved than this tender children’s carol. For some time “Away in the Manger” was titled “Luther’s Cradle Hymn.” It was thought to have been written by Martin Luther for his own children and then passed on by German mothers. Modern research discounts this claim, however. ...read more

  • What Did Jesus Do About Conflict In His Team? Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 8, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 26,896 views

    Jesus dealt with conflict head on, yet always without sin. He did not avoid conflict. Once he dealt with it in his team, he pointed them back to His mission and their mission. He does that with us also.

    What did Jesus do about conflict in His team? In their book called ’A bucket of surprises’ J. John and Mark Stibbe refer to a friend (a church leader) who said this: ’Whenever the conflict gets too much in my church I go and visit the local kennels. There’s a whole group there that’s always ...read more
