    Integrity, Zeal, Knowledge: What’s In Your Wallet? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 6, 2012
     | 6,253 views

    While shallow Christians who are playing the game of religion may get into the trappings of the faith, committed believers connect that their faith is to affect their daily ethics.

    Integrity, Zeal, Knowledge: What’s In Your Wallet? (Proverbs 19:1-2, 5, 23) 1. What’s in your wallet? That’s how a bunch of Vikings and a credit card company challenge us to consider a switch to their card. 2. But what is in your wallet? Probably money, perhaps a driver’s license or ID, maybe a ...read more

     | 10,633 views

    We are not saved by a denomination or a religion but by a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. Jesus demands all of us not part of us when we come to Him.

    Let there be Peace on Earth Many of you probably know this familiar song often heard this time of year; Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me; Let there be peace on earth, The peace that was meant to be.

    Christianity Is Not Unique

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Feb 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,014 views

    Christianity, in many ways, is not all that different than other religions and faith traditions. In fact, there is really only one thing about Christianity that is unique.

    I’m going to begin this morning with a familiar text: "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." Sound good? That, of course is . . . a well-known saying of Confucius, a Chinese wise man who lived in the 5th and 6th century B.C. "What you do not wish for yourself, ...read more

    What Happened To Your Joy? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Sep 5, 2013

     | 12,416 views

    There’s no joy in religious legalism. Joyless religion is like going into a nice restaurant and eating the paper menu instead of enjoying the food.

    INTRODUCTION We’ve all seen special-occasion cakes that have a message spelled out in the frosting. There’s a collection of pictures of funny messages called Cake Wrecks. Apparently, some of these cake decorators had someone order a cake over the phone and they took their verbal ...read more

    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,416 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 26,674 views

    To some people, the world is a dark and difficult experience. But in the midst of their frustration, there is the hint of eternity that makes them hope that there is something more than they are presently experiencing.

    (Twenty years ago I heard a preacher give a sermon with the same kinds of opening and closing illustrations. It left such an impression on me that I have waited all this time to preach this specific sermon.) OPEN: Nine men lay trapped more than 200 feet beneath the ground in a coal mine in ...read more

    (Section 12) A Short Study On "the Creation” Or God, Satan, Angels And M Series

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Jul 10, 2018
     | 4,442 views

    Sometimes science and religion clash. Galileo was under house arrest when he discovered that the Earth was not the middle of the universe, but it was a planet going around the sun. Pre-Adam studies can be the same way.

    A STUDY ON “THE CREATION” or GOD, SATAN, ANGELS AND MEN INTRODUCTION: A. New explanations sometimes cause misunderstandings, fears, etc. B. Two things to think about: 1. We must be careful when the Bible and Science cross paths. The Bible is accepted by and based on faith which ...read more

     | 6,199 views

    How should we live each day as Christian Citizens?

    The bloodiest day in US history was Sept. 17, 1862 when 4,700 Union & Confederate soldiers died in the Civil War battle of Antietam. That was until Sept. 11, 2001, when over 3,000 people were killed in a well planned terrorist attack. By comparison, 2,388 Americans were killed at Pearl Harbor, ...read more

    “Rest For The Stressed” will look at three commands Jesus gave for people who are weary and stressed out. Religion is a heavy burden, but Jesus invites us to experience real rest for our souls.

    The Crossing Community Church “Rest For The Stressed” Pastor Jim Botts August 11th, 2002 Introduction We live in a very tense, uptight and fast paced world filled with hurry... A Tahoma, Washington newspaper carried the story of Tattoo the basset hound a while back. Tattoo didn’t intend to go for ...read more

    Resurrection Of Lazarus Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 1, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 36,011 views

    Can Jesus raise the dead? The big question in any religion concerns death. Death is a great mystery. And life is a great mystery, but life is practically meaningless if there is no resurrection of the dead.

    Perea to Bethany Lesson: Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:1-44 Introduction Jesus’ public ministry is over and now He is concentrating on His private ministry. He centers on individuals and He is no longer reaching out to the nation of Israel. The raising of Lazarus from the dead occurred ...read more

     | 4,903 views

    When Jesus ascended into heaven, what did he want his disciples to be concerned about? Do we pick up where He left off?

    Is the Mission Really Complete? Pastor Glenn Newton April 1, 2005 Acts 1:1-11 Very few of us ever enjoy the luxury of coming to the end of even our most productive day & saying, "It is finished. I’m through. I’ve accomplished everything I set out to do today." But Jesus could do that. Jesus ...read more

    Looking Into The Tomb Series

    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,670 views

    The stone was rolled away from the tomb to allow us to see that the Lord had risen; the empty tomb and the resurrection appearances of Jesus is the reason for the church’s existence.

    "Looking Into The Tomb" Matthew 28:1-10 May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be alway acceptable, O Lord our strength and our redeemer. Friends: Where the gospel according to Matthew ends, the Christian faith begins - in the resurrection of our Lord. None of us ...read more

     | 9,505 views

    I got the bones of this outline from John Maxwell’s "One Hour With God" devotions. What do we do when we are running on empty?

    INTRODUCTION • Have you ever been to the point in your walk with the Lord that just did not seem to be going anywhere? Did you or do you feel like you are wandering in the desert in circles, thirsting for water? • There are times in our lives when we can feel very empty spiritually, we can find ...read more
