    Experience Forever Family

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Dec 4, 2006
     | 6,262 views

    I think the term “forever family” is appropriate and attractive in putting together these two images: 1. the earthly family 2. the heavenly family or faith family or God’s family Focusing too narrowly on the first one can lead us to only think ab

    We need to measure our lives in light of what is profitable for eternity and what is considered only a temporary earthly loss. To profit temporarily is no profit it’s only a permanent loss. So to make sure we are profiting for all eternity we must have a

    How To Honor Our Father

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 19, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,136 views

    As believers we are to show honor both to our earthly fathers and to our Eternal Father. The biblical word for honor means "to give great weight to; to hold as valuable." Proverbs 23 tells us how we can show honor to our Father.

    How to Honor Our Father Proverbs 23:22-26 Introduction: The observance of Father's Day provides an opportunity to express a special thank you to our fathers for their unconditional love and affection. Celebrating Father's Day makes fathers feel that they are loved, appreciated, and valued by ...read more

    When his enemies sought to trap him, Jesus showed his followers, including us, a balanced allegiance to earthly authorities and to our ultimate Heavenly Authority. We give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and we give back to God...our very selves!

    Matthew 22:15-22 For God and Country My sermon title today comes from the Army chaplain motto: “Pro Deo et patria,” “For God and country.

    Each believer has been gifted for service in Christ's earthly body the Church. God has gifted you & expects you to use your gift as a good steward. Though the gifts are diverse each of them & each of us is needed to bring a lost world to Christ.

    ROMANS 12: 8b THE GIFTS OF GIVING, LEADING & MERCY A biting wind was blowing as Bill walked home late in the day.

    Joy At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 20, 2025
     | 133 views

    This sermon proclaims that the true joy of Christmas is not found in changing circumstances or earthly comfort, but in the unshakable, eternal joy that comes from God drawing near in Christ—who lived, suffered, died, and rose again to secure our salvation and remain with us through every trial.

    To begin our discussion this morning, let’s do a quick, informal congregational survey. I’m going to describe a few scenarios. If the scenario brings you joy, give me a thumbs up. If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more

    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,991 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    Why is it that we must be reminded to set aside one day a year to be thankful? Should we not be thankful every day? Yes; but unfortunately we don’t always remember to do what we should.

    Do you have questions that earthly wisdom cannot answer? Do you have an ominous feeling that something is wrong but you don't know. Find out in Daniel 2 that mans wisdom is never enough to answer the questions of life. God will answer if you will ask.

    Intro: Before we jump into Daniel we need to hear a passage in Hebrews.

     | 10,830 views

    Just as earthly fathers sometimes allow their children to face dilemmas so they can grow and mature, Jesus allowed His disciples to face the life-and-death dilemma of a huge storm at sea, so that He could show His power and inspire them to trust Him.

    I think it’s safe to say that the drought in Minnesota is over, don’t you? The pictures and video of the flooding in Duluth are stunning.
