Looking Across The Table Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 19, 2009

The 1st thing Andrew does after meeting Jesus is go get his brother. In fact, that’s what Andrew does this every time he turns around... he brings people to Jesus. But many Christians don’t do that. Why?

No Regrets

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 22, 2009

If we do not have support systems we risk losing strength and stability. Everyone needs support systems. How do you draw strength for the journey? If you don’t have a close spiritual advisor, mentor, friend, you may want to look for one.

I read a great little story this week. “In 1904 William Borden, heir to the Borden Dairy Estate, graduated from a Chicago high school a millionaire. His parents gave him a trip around the world. Traveling through Asia, the Middle East, and Europe gave Borden a burden for the world’s hurting people. ...read more

The Glory Of Marriage Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Dec 13, 2010

One of the most shocking statistics about divorce is that couples who go to church regularly get divorced only slightly less often than those who don't. Why is that? I think it is at least partly due to the fact that the Bible teaching on marriage is sel

Purpose: To explain God's view of marriage. Aim: I want the listener to esteem marriage. INTRODUCTION: Divorce is a real problem in our country.

Preaching To God's People

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

Preachers don’t want to ruffle feathers, lest folks fly away, startled, and go to a church down the street. And so we preachers often preach anything but God’s Word. But God uses real preachers, not pale, second-rate imitations.

Intro Today, the Church finds herself wandering on dangerous terrain, for she no longer wants to listen to her preachers. Even worse, preachers don’t want to preach. They don’t want to ruffle feathers, lest folks fly away, startled, and go to a church down the street. And so we ...read more

A Virgin Will Conceive

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010

Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more

A Frustrated Jesus Sermon 1 Series

Contributed by Gregory Griffin on Jun 25, 2014

A look at Jesus as He dealt with His Disciples trying to get them to see Him for who He is and understand His purpose. As Pastors, we do the same thing each week, and get the same response from many...they don't get it and it can be frustrating.....

“A Frustrated Jesus” Mark 8 Focal Passages Mark 8: 34-38, 2 Corinthians 5:11-20, Acts 11:19-25 As we have read, it was at Antioch that followers of Christ were first called Christians. It was meant to be a derogatory remark. This was during the time of great persecution of the church ...read more

Obey God

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015

When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more

Do The Do Series

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Sep 30, 2013

We don't need to fill another notebook, with more outlines, of powerful truths, and wonderful insights, we do not suffer from a lack of correct heads, but what we need is to have more of a consumed heart, and more of walking out what we already know.

Do the Do Today we are back in our series on James, and today probably more than any other message you will see why I chose for our series title, "James seeing things from the right perspective." Today we are going to talk about a subject that Jesus spoke on frequently, and in our text today James ...read more

"Finding Your Purpose" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 27, 2017

Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.

“Finding your Purpose” Ephesians 1:11-12 Listen to what God’s word says in Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus. Ephesians 1:11-12 Eugene Peterson who wrote the message paraphrased this verse...
