    based on 34 ratings
     | 21,368 views

    Man has played "Hide and Seek" with God since the Garden of Eden, but God has a different game He wants us to play. Do you know what it is?

    OPENING: What do you think the first game is that a child learns? For my boy Jonathan, his 1st game was "hide and seek." When he was about 1 year old he was sitting with me in the living room and had watched me put his blanket over my head and play "peek a boo." Then with a sly grin he put the ...read more

    The Absence Of God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,576 views

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

    Pain Turned Into Joy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 12, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 18,388 views

    It seems unreal that pain could be turned into joy. Yet pain is the very stuff of joy. It will come, not instantaneously, but completely. The risen Christ proves this, and can transform our disappointments, disillusionments, and shame into joy.

    “You will have pain, but y our pain will turn into joy.” That brings back memories of the doctor’s office and that giant needle moving ever closer. “This will hurt a little bit.” A little bit! When you are a year old, it hurts a lot, and there is no joy in it. No, I do not remember being one ...read more

    The Case for Christ by Scott R. Bayles, preacher Church of Christ, Freeport, Illinois One day, a handful of Greek men approached Phillip and said, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus” (John 12:21). Seeing Jesus has been on the minds of spiritual seekers ever since. Jesus is the world’s preeminent ...read more

    This sermon looks at 1 Corinthians 13 and considers agape love and what that means for marriage and the 5 love langages

    Love Is More Than a Tingle 1 Corinthians 131-8a, 13 In a survey of couples nationwide, when asked what makes a good marriage, the answer “Being in love” was given by 90% of the respondents.

    When Little Is Much

    based on 11 ratings
     | 13,705 views

    As we think about the trials, testing, and tasks we face, both in our church and personal lives, often we become disheartened feeling we have little to offer and what lies ahead is too great. But God will use our little in a great way if we will let Him.

    When Little Is Much “Then He said, ‘To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and ...read more

    Why Does The Church Exist?

     | 15,448 views

    Let us remember that as the church, God has put us in charge of something extremely important. God has put us in charge of witnessing for Christ in all places and at all times.

    One of the realities about the church of today is that there are a large number of believers that are very confused. I am not speaking about the false doctrines and sects; I am speaking about the confusion that there is reference the purpose of the church. I say this because when we ask a ...read more

    Two main points from the life of Esau: 1. He was more concerned about the here-and-now than he was with the here-after. 2. Godliness comes by choice.

     | 5,304 views

    For many, life is a panicky run. Serious things happen to us, and we run to tell somebody. The reaction may be to go home and do nothing, and to leave others weeping and perplexed. But when we encounter the risen Christ personally, not as an abstractio

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, March 26, 1989 (Easter Sunday) When you see someone running, do not jump to any conclusions about why that person is running. If you see somebody pickin’ ‘em up and layin’ ‘em down, well, there could be a lot of reasons why. And ...read more

    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.
