    Blessed Hope

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Sep 2, 2012
     | 3,961 views

    The Beatitudes show us that our hope is in conflict with the world's expectations. Trusting in Jesus, we are able to point our lives toward our godly heritage.

    I have a hope; and I hope it. What is hope? For the benefit of all the women who didn’t attend the 2010 Diocesan Men’s Retreat, and the men who couldn’t make it either (and as a refresher to those who did attend), let’s talk about hope. During our preparation for the ...read more

    To worship Jesus we must: risk the journey, know the word, and come with sacrifice and generosity.

    December 11 Worship (Wise Men, Matthew 2:1-12) So what can we glean from this Christmas story about worship? 1. To worship Jesus, we must risk the journey vv.1-2 This Christmas, get past the glitz and glitter and presents and parties and become a genuine worshipper of the Messiah. Risk ...read more

    Why are we concerned about our purpose as a church, & what we are trying to do? To answer that, let me tell you of something that happened here about 9 years ago.

     | 19,213 views

    There is a tomb in a distant land with silent walls as well. If that tomb could speak to us what would it say? What would it tell us of the terrible – tragic – thrillingly triumphant events that transpired there some two thousand years ago?

    TITLE: THE TESTIMONY OF AN EMPTY TOMB SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 24:1-12 Have you ever stood and just looked at an old empty house in a neighborhood? Perhaps the doors stand ajar, sagging on hinges, loosened by the ravages of weather and time. Have you noticed the vacant stare of glassless windows? If ...read more

    It is not too late to shift our focus to The One that can clean up our mess. Ask Him what your next step is.

    Our world is a mess. Let’s take that a little closer to ourselves… our nation is a mess. We can go closer than that, our state is a mess… do we agree? Are we still on the same page? How about this? Our city is a mess… how about now still got agreement? Our neighborhood is a ...read more

     | 10,353 views

    When we embrace a relationship with Jesus, we end up calculating the cost of following Him. I use a current political story to show not everything is as we think it is.

    Calculate the Cost Luke 14:25-33 February 3, 2019 I’m going to start out being a little political. Most of you will recall that there was an incident in Washington DC, in which some students from a Catholic school were chastised, and that’s being gentle for how they treated a Native American who ...read more

     | 11,313 views

    Research has proven how powerful a human touch is. Since that's true, imagine how powerful the touch of Jesus is, the effect it can have on people, and how we can be part of God’s touching the world!

    THE TOUCH OF JESUS Mark 1:29–37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Uncle Irv needed 3 million dollars to clinch an important real estate deal. 2. So he went to a local synagogue to pray for the money.

     | 18,723 views

    Life can be troubling and even scary sometimes. There will be times that we just don't believe anybody is going to be there for us... or that anybody cares. But the Bible says there IS someone who is there and cares. Do you know why that matters?

    OPEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltaFMO3BaNQ (a video clip from the TV series: “This Is Us”) It’s a dark and stormy night. It’s scary and Kevin is all by himself.

    Is this a true story? (Hint: yes) And why did God include it in the Bible?

    OPEN: Several years ago, there was a tiny village in Scotland called “Lost.” It’s a quaint name for a quaint little village… but they had a problem. Lost kept losing their sign.

    A sermon about the hope we have in the post-holiday season, when many are left asking, "Now what?"

    INTRO Have you ever noticed how the day after Christmas is kind of a letdown? There is always this build up to Christmas. Some of us have had the decorations hung for over a month. We have sung the songs, watched the movies, bought and wrapped the gifts, and cooked the meals. There is admittedly ...read more

    When we think about the Ninevites we generally think of two things:

    (1) First we think of Jonah, who was swallowed by a large fish because he refused to obey the Lord’s command to go preach to them. (2) Secondly we think of their ranking with the most wicked people who ever lived on earth. Illus: Once the Ninevites would capture a town they committed ...read more
