    A message about putting aside our own agendas for the sake of others and the kingdom.

    Putting Others First Philippians 2:1-11 August 13, 2006 Introduction We live in a very “me-centered” culture, don’t we? I think most cultures are me-centered to an extent, even those where respect for others is much higher than it is here in the United States. There’s a word for being ...read more

    The first of eight sermons on praise: yadah. It means extend your hands and praise God.

    For twelve years of my life, God blessed me with the ability and opportunity to participate in the world’s best sport: track & field.

    Introduction: I. Have you every “bitten off more than you could chew?” A. What I mean is have you ever taken on a job or task; fully believing that you were able to accomplish it only to find out that it might well take more than you can individually handle? B. Most especially; have you ever ...read more

     | 2,860 views

    This message expounds upon the important traits or characteristics of a Christian as outlined by Paul to the Ephesians.

    Text: “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise” (v. 15). Introduction: I wonder how many people ever think along these lines.

    based on 25 ratings
     | 9,596 views

    This is the third in a series of 8 messages centered around the importance of changing the climate in which we live, work or play.

    CHANGING THE CLIMATE Possessing the Promise I believe that the greatest challenge facing the 21st Century Christian is the amount of knowledge that is so readily available. And because of that knowledge, we can very easily get drawn in to a ‘Seven Steps to………’ mentality. That all we need to do is ...read more

    Who owns my money determines not only what I give to God, but how I treat God. Who "owns" your money and what difference does it make?

    OPEN: Gordon Wood, a preacher in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin once wrote: “Recently, I tried something different in our worship service. Instead of preaching at the end, I did it first, with music, the offering, and Scripture reading afterward. As I stood behind the pulpit, I could see people getting ...read more

    The Unexpected Messiah

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jan 10, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,009 views

    Everyone was hoping for, even expecting, the Messiah in Jesus’ day. But, he disappointed everyone, thought Messiah would come as a conqueror. Isaiah’s first Servant Song shows their expectations to have been badly misinformed.

    Psalm 89:1-16, Isaiah 42:1-9, Acts 10:34-38, Mark 1:7-11 The Unexpected Messiah In the May 29, 2005 edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a story ran concerning a courthouse puzzle. The story in that paper begins like this: “In the Milwaukee County Courthouse, where plaintiffs, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,207 views

    A very serious subject all Christians have to deal with is - what are our mark and the way to the mark? Because only when we truly see the mark, can we have the strength to run toward it; only when we know the way, can we reach our mark.

     | 20,852 views

    A look at the blessings of generosity and receiving God’s grace.

    2 Corinthians 8:1-9 – How to Get Rich This sermon may seem a bit out of sequence – a few weeks ago we looked at chapter 9, which was centered on giving money.

    “Jesus’ Prayer for Us” John 17 Introduction 1. One of the most encouraging experiences as a Christian is to be prayed for by someone else – and not only prayed for but prayed with.

    Pre-Easter sermon based on the arrest of Jesus and the question of God’s control in our situations.

    DON’T YOU KNOW THERE’S A WAR ON? Who’s in control?
