And That's Final -- Except For This One Last Thing... Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 29, 2002

John gives a perfect ending in chapter 20, but then he goes and gives us chapter 21. After saying in chapter 20, "these things are written that you might believe, and in believing have life," what could possibly be important enough to add to that?

John 20:28-21:25 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But ...read more

Fed At The Table Of Jesus

Contributed by Evelyn Weston on Aug 27, 2005

Pentecost 13A: First person sermon. The table scraps that Jesus graciously offers the Canaanite woman’s daughter is better than her daughter usually is treated. However little faith we have, that’s enough for Jesus to work with.

Grace to you and peace, sisters and brothers in Christ, for though we all are Gentiles, Christ welcomes us to the house of faith. Amen Thank you for welcoming me to your house of worship today. Earlier in my life— when I was a few thousand years younger— a woman would not have been permitted ...read more

Four Things A Loving God Wants Us To Know About Death And Dying

Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009

Matthew 6 – Part 6 - So Are You Saying God Wants Me To Be Poor? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 4, 2010

Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

People, Like Pennies

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 2, 2007

Wealth in our lives is measured in many ways. Pennies are a small measure of money, but Benjamin Franklin would have told you that a penny saved is a penny earned. Friends in our lives are another kind of wealth that we may not value highly enough. Wherev

People, like pennies Luke 5:27-32 I watched a hidden camera show some time back. The director had taken two rolls of pennies and dropped them randomly but obviously along a half a city block.

Brown Paper Bags For Christmas

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Dec 20, 2007

No Christmas stocking was large enough to hold all that he wanted to give us. No Christmas stocking could display the Christmas message he wanted us to see. Only his hand drawn paper bags could properly express his love for us.

God's Humble Servants Honored Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 2, 2009

God has had enough of people who do not listen to His word & despise those who do. God will one day judge those who are depending on externals to establish their relationship with Him, who delight in their way instead of the Lord’s way.

ISAIAH 66: 1-6 GOD’S HUMBLE SERVANTS HONORED As the climax to the book, this chapter describes the Lord fulfilling some of the promises He has made.
