    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 140 ratings
     | 8,694 views

    The charge of hypocrisy, of not being sincere and genuine, of not practicing what we preach, is a charge that continues to plague the church

    Once there was a pair of identical twin brothers; one was a pastor, and the other was a physician. It was almost impossible to tell the two men apart. A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more

    This message deals with the futility of religious activity apart from obedience to God, and the similarities between the conditions of Israel during the days of Jeremiah and the churches of today.

    Call To A Collapsing Country Text: Jer.8: 1-12 Intro: The nation of Israel had enjoyed God’s blessings in an unprecedented way. God had personally chosen them to be His people from among all the peoples of the earth. According to the Scriptures, this was not due to any special attractiveness ...read more

    Many times we can misunderstand Mary’s role in the redemption story. Let’s look at how God used Mary to bring His salvation to His people.

    Misunderstood Mary It’s not easy to be politically correct during the Christmas season. I recently came across a 90’s version of “The Night Before Christmas.” Let me read just part of it to you: Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck... How to live in a ...read more

     | 125,996 views

    Surely one of the great stories of Christmas is the account of the visit of the Wise Men from the East. This delightful tale of strange men from some faraway land who brought Christmas presents to the baby Jesus is filled with mystery and intrigue.

    The Three Seekers In our series that we’re calling Christmas Characters, we looked at Herod two weeks ago: - Herod was preoccupied with power. - Herod was preoccupied with possessions. - Herod was preoccupied with prestige. - Herod was preoccupied with paranoia. Last week we focused on Mary, ...read more

    The key in becoming infectious in our faith is to make sure that we have set apart Christ as Lord in our lives. When we are striving to live under the control of Christ, people will notice and will then ask us to explain the reason for the hope that we h

    How To Be Ready Rev. Brian Bill 2/4/01 It’s fun to compare how life today is different from life 500 years ago.

    based on 78 ratings
     | 27,913 views

    It’s easy to think that bad things happen because God is out to get us. That’s not true. The Bible establishes some reasons why things don’t turn out they way we’d like – personal sin, corporate sin, and evil influences. While we can’t insulate ourselv
