    Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 7, 2016
     | 5,530 views

    Whether poor or rich or in the middle, all of us have to determine our standard of living. So who or what is determining your standard of living? Who or what is influencing your financial decisions and the life you’re living?

Before winning, she worked long, hard hours but earned just enough money to cover each month’s bills. The years of toil and worry had taken a toll on her face ...read more

    What Is Your Calling? (Part 6) Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,272 views

    Has God really called you? Then where is that separation? Where is your heart? What is it captivated by? Is the presence of the Holy Spirit evident in your life? This is not something you can determine or speak for yourself. This the church will testify.

    Opening Illustration: A certain king needed a faithful servant and had to choose between two candidates for the office. He took both at fixed wages and told them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well, saying that he would come in the evening to inspect their work. After dumping one or two ...read more

    An Easter Way Of Seeing

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 18, 2016
     | 4,405 views

    John was able to look at the evidence of Jesus resurrection and go away with the seeds of an Easter faith. All of us need to strive for this way of seeing.

    John 20:1-9 Note: This sermon accepts the centuries old view that John was the “other” disciple. ****** The other day Pat and I walked into one of the busiest malls in central Ohio where we were greeted with a sign announcing the mall would be closed on Sunday, March 27th. While ...read more

    "'the' Birthday Celebration

    Contributed by Maria Saunders on Dec 22, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 70,684 views

    It’s poor etiquette to attend a party and don’t bring the host/honoree a gift. We should feel privileged to receive an invitation to attend. Therefore, it’s extremely important that we bring the right gifts to the honoree.

    “’THE’ Birthday Celebration” Isaiah 9:3 (MSG); Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11(NIV) Isaiah 9:3 (NIV) 3You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

     | 5,800 views

    This sermon supports the understanding of humility, which used properly is one of the best weapons in a Christian’s arsenal; and that is by traveling a second mile on a difficult, lonely road; a road Jesus traveled, a road that he want us to travel.

    This sermon was delivered at Holy Trinity, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on Sunday the 19th February 2017; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are from: Leviticus 19:1-2,9-18 1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23 Matthew 5:38-48 Psalm ...read more

     | 9,402 views

    Never swallow someone’s line just because he uses terms of the Christian faith. False teachers are popular with the world because they tell people what they want to hear. Here John warns the Christians who faithfully teach God’s Word will not win any popu

    The passion of Jesus is happening precisely because Jesus is perfect and in perfect control. All this handing over is going according to script.

    Introduction We continue along the road that for Jesus has been a travesty of justice and friendship. First, Jesus, the Messiah of the Jews, is conspired against by their leaders. Judas, one of his disciples, sells his loyalty to the conspirators. The rest of the disciples abandon him at his ...read more

    Are You Worshiping Nature Or The Creator?

    Contributed by John Hickman on Oct 22, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,534 views

    Is our culture today worshiping "Mother Nature" instead of the Creator? Jesus went out into God's Creation to hear from God, to pray, to be refreshed and recharged for ministry. Shouldn't we be doing the same?

    One hundred years before the birth of Jesus a Roman Philosopher, Cicero, wrote, “Nature herself makes the wise man rich.” The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Nature never hurries. Atom by atom, little by little she achieves her work.” Antoinette Brown Blackwell wrote ...read more
