    based on 116 ratings
     | 10,511 views

    . Too many people do this still today, they run to God’s grace desiring eternal life in heaven, but quickly pull back from God at the first hint of obligation or responsibility to this grace we freely enjoy.

    Intro: A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mother. His father returned from church holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked, "Why do you have that palm branch, dad?" "You see, when Jesus came into town, everyone waved Palm Branches to honor ...read more

  • A Look Back At Sunrise

    based on 51 ratings
     | 3,536 views

    Not a sermon, but a farewell statement given to the congregation at Sunrise Presbyterian Church

    I have been reflecting on what we have accomplished at Sunrise. When I came here, Sunrise was a hurting and very conflicted church. But it was clear that this was not your nature. Your nature was to be "the church where love lights the way." I remember my first Session meeting -- elders yelling ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,211 views

    Money may actually distract us from Kingdom priorities. Some things money cannot buy are compassion for the needy, passion for the lost, and love for one another.

    I begin this morning with an invocation from my favorite poet, the bard of Baltimore, Ogden Nash, who addressed our favorite god in prayer: “Oh, money, money, money; some may think thee holy. But I cannot figure out how thou goest out so fast and how thou comest in so slowly.” Ogden Nash, ...read more

    Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 28, 2003
    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,122 views

    What kind of a gift are you leaving for your children and for those who are around you. What kind of words will speak from beyond the grave when you are no longer able to speak.

    I want to talk to you today about my father. I dedicate this message and the remainder of this service to the “Bishop”. Dad, I probably haven’t told you enough times and made you aware enough how much I love you and how much I appreciate the things you have added to my life. So Dad – I love ...read more

  • On Not Giving Up On The Family

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 3, 2011
     | 7,077 views

    Baptists have a distinctive history, with some soaring moments and yet with some dismal ones as well. There is much to correct, but the good news is that we remain committed to missions and evangelism.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Feb. 4, 1996 They came out of nowhere. From small villages and obscure city streets, from backwoods farms and hard labor coal mines; from workingmen’s cottages, but not from the plantations, and from the ranks of domestics and cooks, but not ...read more

  • Faith Of Our Father(S)

    Contributed by Joshua Parrish on Jun 19, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,359 views

    We live in a time when the value of fathers is at an all-time low, yet statistics show us that fathers are needed more than ever. Jesus’ relationship to God the Father serves as an example to us, just how important a father is in his children’s lives.

    What is it with our infatuation with having kids? Why do we do it? What is that desire, that passion that burns within us that makes us want children? Is it our desire to see ourselves, literally, in another person? Is it our desire to love and be loved? What is it? Its mysterious to me. And ...read more

  • Ghostbusters

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 15, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,661 views

    Panicked people do irrational things, like attempt to live in the past or to live out of bad religion. Panic can be dealt with only by trusting God and living in integrity. Luther’s Reformation is a prime illustration.

    Children are not the only ones who are afraid of the dark. You do not have to be a child to be subject to irrational, unreasoning fears, fears that take you over and leave you breathless. Children may be afraid of dark rooms and of monsters under the bed, but the rest of us also panic. Don’t tell ...read more

  • Gambling Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 23, 2012
     | 5,535 views

    Is the prohibition of gambling in the Covenant of Christian Conduct just a legalistic rule or a natural outflow of loving God completely and love others as ourselves?

    A year or so ago we took several months to review the sixteen Articles of Faith found in the Manual of the Church of The Nazarene. These subjects included what we believe about the Triune God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Scriptures, Sin, Atonement, Salvation, the Church, the Sacraments, the ...read more

  • The Urgency Of Godliness Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,774 views

    Most of us would probably be quick to say that loving and serving God is very important, but often fail to view it as urgent. Paul brings a sense of urgency to our spiritual life in the text today. He wants to jar his readers out of their complacency and

    The Urgency of Godliness Romans 13:8-14 Intro: What comes to mind when you hear the word, “Urgent?” It can be an unpleasant word that is associated with tragedy. Most of us would rather not receive an urgent phone call because it might mean that someone we love is hurt or in trouble. ...read more

     | 9,157 views

    Contrasting Koheleth and Paul in the later season of their lives: one blames the young, the other gathers them; one mourns broken things, the other invests in ideas; one is anxious, the other trusts God for every need.

    This past weekend, as a part of our brief getaway, my wife and I spent two nights in an old farmhouse. The farmhouse dated from 1704 and was partly furnished with antiques. Now my wife loves antiques; I guess that’s why she puts up with me. So we took the tour of the house, especially the parlor ...read more

I didn’t know for sure, ...read more
