    Christian Patriotism

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 28, 2025
     | 515 views

    We Christians live in the world as exiles from Heaven. While in the world, we are to pray for the welfare of our nation, glorifying God by how we lives in the midst of a darkened world.

    “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” [1] This world is not my home I'm just a-passin’ through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from heaven's ...read more

     | 1,846 views

    A golden opportunity for increased popularity presents itself, but Jesus uses the occasion to talk about what glory looks like in His "upside-down" kingdom.

    THE MOST POPULAR GUY IN TOWN? Jesus’ popularity reaches a new level when even the Greeks are interested in Him. - John 12:20-22. A RELATED IDEA? Jesus’ response is focused on glory. - John 12:23. - Is Jesus interested in glory the way that everyone else is or is He pointing them toward ...read more

    Worship As A Way Of Life Series

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Dec 6, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,261 views

    Worship is a total way of life of loving our Lord that will stand up under the scrutiny of God himself—and in spite of our circumstances. This is a four parter. (It originally started as one sermon and was split off and expanded to four.)

    Disciplines are a way of life for most people. Choosing to do things on a regular basis so that desired goals are reached—those goals wouldn’t be reached without disciplining ourselves in certain tasks: We teach our daughters and sons to brush their teeth. Why? SO that when the ...read more

    S.W.O.T. is an acronym for Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. While time this morning does not permit us to expound on an exhaustive SWOT analysis of our church, let us consider some of our major strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and t

    As we come to the end of this year and face the beginning of a New Year with a clean slate, we need to good look at our church and ourselves. We need to see where we are and where we should be.

    Preach the word and stand upon it. Preach it in both opportune and in-opportune times, which also means; day as well as night, in church and out of church, at home or away, everywhere and on all occasions, wherever the Lord’s work requires it.

    Using Your "Talents" Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,947 views

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

    Power: God Gives His Spirit After Jesus had gone back to heaven, his disciples stayed in Jerusalem waiting for God’s spirit. At this time, there was another religious holiday and Jewish people from all over the world had come to Jerusalem to celebrate. One day the disciples were gathered ...read more

    Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more
