    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,133 views

    God went to any means necessary to show us His love, now He has called us to go to use any means necessary to show that love to our community.

    New Year’s Revolution (By Any Means Necessary, part 2) (This sermon is my own adaptation of John Wesley’s "Almost Christian" sermon) Intro I have often wondered why Christianity has ceased to be popular. Why are all of our denominations in decline? Why is it that 95% of all churches in America ...read more

    Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,681 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 26,669 views

    Every person has two basic universal needs: “To love and be loved” and “to understand and be understood.” Those two basic needs are best met in a loving caring community of believers.

    Belong to God’s Family Background Scripture: I John 1:7 - Acts 2:42-47 Do you remember the fun times you had in your family growing up? One of the things I remember is the times we drove to visit relatives. When visiting my grandparents in Kansas City, Kansas I remember sliding down the long ...read more

    We sometimes have spiritual highs and we’d like to maintain them but we have to stay grounded in reality and do the work of Jesus - communicate the Gospel to a lost and dying world.

    Reinventing The Church 2 Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,571 views

    We will no longer be a “Silent” Church, but a “Story” Church! IN REINVENTING THE CHURCH WE MUST SEE THAT OUR STORIES OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST MUST BE SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

    Last week I spoke about how the church is in crisis and unless we REINVENT the church, she will continue to die a slow but sure death. One of the ways we need to REINVENT the church today is by no longer being a COME AND GET IT church, but instead, a GO AND GET THEM church as Jesus modeled when ...read more

    This sermon is the fourth in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the Gift of Mercy in order to allow the Holy Spirit opportunity to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    Today is Mother’s day and the most appropriate spiritual gift to talk about is that of showing mercy. Whether it’s a skinned knee or a broken heart mothers are the ones we usually turn to for compassion and love. However, there are just as many men who have the heart gift of showing mercy as ...read more

    Just as God has a Word for Abram to keep him going, God also has a word for you and me. This passage of the text helps us to understand how God communicates with us.

    A Hiding Place With Noble Plans

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 20, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,715 views

    We all need a place of quiet in which to hide and reflect; it will be the community of faith. Here we know one another as we really are, but love one another anyway. That is transformative.

    Just a little less than a month ago, as many of you know, my wife’s father passed away very suddenly. Of course, we all hurried to get together, and then, as families do in times like that, we began to tell stories. We remembered how he used to say this or how he once did that. And one story we ...read more
