    Till the Storm Passes By Exodus 9:23-24 Intro: Have you ever noticed how that it can rain on one side of town and not on the other? Or maybe even on one side of the street and not the other?

    Waiting Is A 'downer'!

    Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Apr 18, 2019
     | 1,474 views

    we spend too much time waiting for things to happen; we have to make them happen

    This morning I woke up as ‘Downer deni’, disgusted because I felt like I had to wait until I could get anything done! Waiting colored my entire mood dark grey! As I looked out the window, Columbus was covered in thick grey clouds - not a sun ray was to be found. My wrist, badly sprained in a stupid ...read more

    The Priesthood Of All Believers

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Oct 13, 2017
     | 9,702 views

    This is a highly foundational set of concepts, which every believer in Jesus Christ needs to grasp, in order to function effectively as the New Testament priest which he or she is.

    THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER Pastor Eric J. Hanson Hosanna Church: 1983 & 4/2/2017 Introduction: The New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers, yet many Christians go through their whole lifetime with a mentality of being unable to approach God effectively.

    In the midst of the Reformation, God weaves a tapestry of faith in the lives of weak human beings.

    Thursday of the 2nd Week in Advent 2017 Reformation/Revolution When external situations are the bleakest, God acts to fulfill His promises to His people–first in the history of the Jews, and now in the age of the Church. The second and third parts of Isaiah were probably written by his followers ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,929 views

    It’s time for us to imitate the early Christians, not Ahaz. Political solutions are like bandages. They can stop the blood flow but they can’t cure the fundamental disease, which is loss of faith in God, and disobedience to His commandments.

    Tuesday of the 15th Week in Course 2020 Plague Year homilies When you consider it, God, whom we call by a kind of nickname “Yah” every time we sing the Gospel acclamation, God was heavily invested in His people. Specifically, He made a promise to King David, the greatest of the kings of Israel, ...read more

    Where Are The Visionaries?

    Contributed by Raymond Williams on Feb 20, 2021
     | 2,679 views

    The vision carried out in modern preaching of today, is not so much a stimulation but to act as a restraining force to stem the tide of wickedness and destruction.

    The majority of the sermons of Rev. Raymond Williams comes from the sermon notes he preached from and are not always fluid. Where is the Visionaries Today? Proverbs 29:7-18; Text verse 18: Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Another ...read more

     | 781 views

    What does it mean to see God as a Rock who saves us?

    Fourth Sunday in Course 2024 Let’s all take a moment, maybe even shut our eyes if we are sitting down, and use our imaginations. That’s a great way to start your daily meditation, by imagining a scene from the Scriptures. So let’s all get into our minds a picture of a rock. Not a pebble, not a ...read more

    We Share In Christ's Pain On The Cross

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 28, 2025
     | 135 views

    when someone is murdered, it catches all of us up short, and when the violence is carried out on children, especially as they are praying on the second day of school, no words can ever suffice to bring us back to anything like normalcy.

    Twenty-second Sunday in Course 2025 Humility, yes. I suspect that many preachers in this country have been humbled by the recent events at a Catholic church and school in Minneapolis last week. Typically we work hard on a homily for some days and often feel proud of our work when we come to the ...read more

    What Jesus and the Church teach is not how to get extra points on our heavenly report card.

    Twenty-seventh Sunday in Course 2025 If we were to survey a thousand websites asking the question, “what’s wrong with the world,” we’d probably get at least a thousand different responses. But the best one I’ve ever seen came a hundred years ago from the British essayist and poet, G.K. Chesterton. ...read more

    In our text, I see two great sins of the godless: 1- They change God’s grace 2- They deny the Lord Jesus

    INTRO.- ILL.- A church deacon was trying to impress a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. He said, "Why do people call me a Christian?"
