    The lame man needed someone else’s help to get to the pool. Many people today need our help to get to Jesus. How shall they hear if we never tell them.

    Intro. A study of the Gospel of John will reveal that the author is the Apostle John, one of four books of the Bible he wrote. This is of course the fourth and last Gospel.

    We are an avenue of Gods grace to other Christians, even the ones who disappoint or hurt us.

    This story quite honestly is a troubling one to me. Can I say that? Is it okay for me to say that? The reason it troubles me is because up until this point in the book of Acts, when the church had a disagreement (and they had some very significant ones), they worked through them and came to a ...read more

    Our text tells us what idleness is in God’s eyes. 1- Idleness is sinning 2- Idleness is stealing 3- Idleness is snooping

    INTRO.- Keep away from the brothers. That’s strange advice. Keep away from certain people. That may not be so strange. ILL.- A farmer, seeing a lot of crows picking up seed he had sown in a field, took his shotgun and fired at them. All the birds flew away except one that lay wounded on the ...read more

    The disciples argue again about who would be the greatest, but Jesus chose this meal to teach them a powerful lesson. Do you know what it was?

Some of the jokes summed it up well: With the current market turmoil, what’s the easiest way to make a small fortune? Start off with a large one. How do you define optimism? ...read more

    On That Great Gettin' Up Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 26, 2009
     | 9,831 views

    For Remembrance Sunday: getting past grief means crying out honestly and insistently for help, and it means having confidence in the God who raised Christ from the dead and thus defeated death itself.

    The hymns we have sung and the Scriptures we have read have one important word that is common to all of them. That word is "morning". "Morning", as in "good morning". "Morning" is an important Biblical image. I am leading us to worship around the symbol of morning today because I want us to use it ...read more

    Escaping Temptations

     | 4,257 views

    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Men have sadly learned to use machines as status symbols and instruments of power, but that only leads to destruction. Learn from Him whose ride was a lowly beast and whose symbol is a cross.
