    Lessons we can learn from the Shepherds of Bethlehem.

    --ILL>Without question, the funniest thing I ever saw on television was years ago on an episode of “Candid Camera,” where Allen Funt and the Candid crew pulled a colossal hoax on some of the smartest and groomed for success college students in America. Having put together a supposed aptitude and ...read more

    After Christ died, Peter went back to what the used to do, fish. Are we ever tempted to return to the way we lived before Christ?

    When I was in elementary school, my best friend was Jon Barleycorn. From kindergarten through fifth grade, we were best friends, both in and out of school. And his family introduced me to fishing. I would go with them to Buckeye Lake and we would fish from his grandmothers’ dock and from his ...read more

    The Scrooge In All Of Us

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 17, 2007

    I have adapted a recent J. John’s sermon, using Scripture to compare Herod and our own sinful tendencies with the Dickens’ character Ebenezer Scrooge.

    The Scrooge in All of Us Matthew 2:13-18 Christmas is one of those times that almost demands that we be creative with the familiar- the story of Bethlehem, and the baby Jesus in a manger. The angels we have heard on high. You might feel that you are familiar with the story that you ...read more

    Being a Christian isn’t like wearing a winter coat, one minute we put it on because we’re cold, and then the next minute we take it off and store it away until harsh weather rolls in. Yet that’s how many of us act. We pull out our church clothes, our chur

    Seventh in this series. The main point of the Parable of the Good Samaritan is that eternal life isn't a matter of what I must do for God bu rather what God has done for me.

    This week as I was preparing for this message I did as I often do after I first spend time with the text itself and looked at some other sermons on this passage just to get a feel for how others handle this parable. And in the process I ran across what seemed to me to be a pretty good sermon on the ...read more

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,454 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

    Good morning. We are continuing our series called Learning to Live Like Jesus. A series that is based on the extended passage known as the Sermon on the Mount. The past few weeks, we have been looking at chapter 6 that really speaks of the obstacles to living life in the kingdom. A few weeks ...read more

    Four Cartons Of Milk

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 25, 2025

    Listening is a posture of presence that communicates care; hearing words is not enough—true listening keeps hearts open and relationships alive.

    Let me start with something familiar. Have you ever been in a conversation where you were doing everything right on the outside—nodding at the right moments, making eye contact, even saying “yeah” or “uh-huh”—and then suddenly you realized you had absolutely no idea what the other person had just ...read more

    We all face fear at one time or another. One person writes that fear is the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind.

    INTRO: I read this week that at least 322 unique phobias have been identified. Phobia comes from the Greek word for fear, and refers to a panic that is completely out of proportion to the perceived threat behind it. Extreme cases of a phobia can result in escalated anxiety and a full-fledged ...read more
