    Shelter The Homeless

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 7, 2015
     | 8,163 views

    God asks us to give our lives to him and serve him by serving others. We say to them, “God loves you and so do I”. We can reduce poverty. On Judgment Day, we will be judged by how we lived our lives and whether or not we loved others like Christ loves us.

    “I was homeless and you took me in…” As the worshipers arrived for church in a small town one Sunday morning, they were met by a rather disturbing sight. An apparently homeless beggar sat on the front steps of the church, wearing tattered clothing, a wool cap pulled down over his ...read more

    Jesus warns us to be ready for His return. He warns us because the danger and threat is real. To do so, He tells us story about 10 virgins who are waiting for the return of the Bridegroom. The parable is explained and applied to the hearer.

    In Annie Dillard’s Teaching a Stone to Talk, she talks about a British Artic expedition which set sail in 1845 to chart the Northwest Passage around the Canadian Artic to the Pacific ocean. Neither of the two ships and 138 men on board returned. Why? They packed their ship like they were going ...read more

    A sermon about taking Jesus to the party, and why God loves you enough to be born as a baby

    One little known fact about Father Christmas - and I am not making this up - is that in the year 325AD he punched someone in the face. I am sure he was very sorry about it afterwards. It certainly flies in the face of Jesus’s teaching about loving your enemies. Father Christmas is best known for ...read more

    You may have shrugged it off when you read about it in the newspaper or heard about it on TV. But it's real, and it fulfills Bible prophecy.

    World leaders know that our planet is in a heap of trouble. For years, analysts, thought leaders, and strategists have been warning, with increasing stridency, about a perfect storm of challenges that threaten our global economy, our global society, and our relative peace. These analysts and ...read more

    When conflicts arise, ask these two questions: What is at stake, and what is in your heart?

    Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage.

    Brother against brother. Father against son. Son against father. It was a war that was anything but "civil". Wars are inevitable. What if we could learn to fight fair? What if we could wage civil wars?

    Civil Wars 
Pt. 4 - War and Peace I. Introduction
 The Civil War is an incredibly painful moment in the history of our country. The name is misleading. The war was not civil. It was bloody. It was brutal. Sons and fathers and brothers killed their own family members as battle lines ...read more

    Valuing The Giver Rather Than The Gift / Dependence Day

     | 6,280 views

    The things in this world, even the things that we pray earnestly for, often end up distracting us from the Giver of the Gift.

    Dependence Day This morning we look at dependence on God, and identifying the difference between loving gifts, and loving and worshiping the Giver of All Good Gifts. Our Gospel lesson for this morning is a great lesson, in fact, for Thanksgiving Day services. As we examine it, we can see a nice ...read more

    If there is a poster boy for “doubting” it must be the Apostle Thomas. Thomas isn't mentioned often in Scripture, but there are examples for each of us in each instance. We've seen that he, like us, had his share of unsettling experiences.

    Tom Lowe March 9, 2016 Show Me Your Hands! Introduction There are times when I feel like the man who said to Jesus “help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). And, how about this verse: “You don't have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you ...read more

    HoHum: A little boy asked his father what was the highest number he had ever counted. Replying that he didn't know, the father asked his son his highest number. It was 973.
