    The Story Of The Great Banquet

    Contributed by Marty Baker on Feb 14, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,050 views

    This story teaches us about the heart of God. He loves people who have lost their way and people who are broken. This story is about redemption. It’s about restoration, but it is also about responsibility.

    Everybody’s Welcome. Nobody’s Perfect. Anything’s Possible. The Story of the Great Banquet Dr. Marty Baker / Luke 14:16-23 / February 6, 2022 Welcome to the Stevens Creek Church. We are glad to have you here and I especially want to welcome our South Campus, our Dream Center Experience and our ...read more

    Bloom Where You’re Planted

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,020 views

    Life circumstances may not be ideal where we are. We may be struggling. Perhaps we feel that we could serve the Lord more effectively in a better situation or different location. But God wants us to bloom where we are planted!

    James Oppenheim said, “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet,”(1) and this is what the Lord wants every believer to understand. We’re supposed to find fulfillment and contentment right where God’s placed us, and to bloom where we’re planted. An ...read more

    A Mighty Man Of Valour

    At the 1997 North American Christian Convention, author Stuart Briscoe told the old story of a farmer who was walking along the road with his horse and his dog.

    • A pickup truck came racing by and knocked them off the road into the ditch • The farmer sued for damages: Including loss of work time, claiming he had a broken leg, some facial injuries, and several cracked ribs that kept him bedridden • The defense attorney told the judge, "Your honor, ...read more

    Shooting Our Wounded

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,943 views

    We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

    I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

    Heroes Of The Bible: Moses Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,543 views

    The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Moses. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint)

    Heroes of the Bible: Moses Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/01/2021 NOTE: This sermon was adapted from my book, Holy Heroes of the Bible. If it's a blessing to you, please consider buying the book which includes chapters/sermons on 17 additional Bible heroes: ...read more

    The Family Business

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 21, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,383 views

    We don’t know very much about Jesus’ process of maturation. The Gospels are rather silent about his growing up years, with Matthew being the only other canonical gospel that even offers a birth narrative, and he is silent on the years between birth and baptism.

    TITLE: THE FAMILY BUSINESS SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 2:49 It was just two months ago we gathered here in the sanctuary as we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. We had special programs like Candlelight Service, attended Christmas Sing Along over at Macedonia Baptist Church, and of course ...read more

    Christ our Passover Lamb.

    THE PASSION ACCORDING TO LUKE. Luke 22:14-71; Luke 23:1-56. The feast of Passover drew nigh, and already there was a plot afoot to destroy Jesus. Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, and the religious leaders promised him money if he would betray Jesus to them. Judas thereafter sought ...read more

    Ephraim Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 27, 2022
     | 3,955 views

    In the biblical account, following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite Joshua, the land was allocated among the twelve tribes.

    Ephraim Ephraim is the second son of Joseph and Asenath. The name Ephraim, then, means "fruitfulness." Asenath was an Egyptian woman whom Pharaoh gave to Joseph as a wife and the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of On. Ephraim was born in Egypt before the arrival of the children of ...read more

    Laughter

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on Oct 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,164 views

    Today we are going to talk about “Laughter.” If we define laughter, we might say it is the quick breath resulting in a series of short vowel-like sounds usually "ha-ha," "ho-ho" or "hee-hee" which we call laughter.

    Laughter “Then was our mouth filled with laughter.” Psalm 126:2 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh.” —Psalm 2:4 Intro: A elderly couple were home The wife softly said to her husband Do you remember when we used to just sit and you would hold my hand The man reached over and held her ...read more

    Building Into Heaven In Disobedience – The Tower Of Babel - Genesis 11 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2022
     | 2,190 views

    After the flood people were told to spread out and multiply but instead, humanism stayed tut and tried to build up to heaven. They were in defiance of God and wanted to displace Him but God confused their language. The start of Babel.

    BUILDING INTO HEAVEN IN DISOBEDIENCE – THE TOWER OF BABEL - GENESIS 11 VERSES 1 - 2: DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMAND TO EXPAND Devastation had come on the earth because of sin but the old fallen and corrupt human nature will never learn the things of God.

    What Is Your Jack Story?

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Nov 4, 2022

    This message is about our self-fulling prophecies - how the stories we create in our minds often becomes the reality in which we live.

    What Is Your Jack Story? Scripture: Numbers 13:25-33; Proverbs 18:21; Hebrews 11:1 The title of my message this morning is “What Is Your Jack Story?” Let me start by telling you a jack story. “There was a traveling salesman who got stuck one night on a lonely country road with a flat tire ...read more

    Lot – Part 6 – A Lot Of Trouble For God – For Abraham – And For Himself – Genesis 19 Lot’s Reprobate And Fallen Corrupt Nature - Incest Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,148 views

    One of the most difficult passages in the bible - Lot and his daughters commit incest, and Lot is drunk. All horrible sensuality on display. Then I look at why the New Testament calls Lot righteous, which thing I can not see, but the opposite I do see.

    LOT – PART 6 – A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR GOD – FOR ABRAHAM – AND FOR HIMSELF – GENESIS 19 LOT’S REPROBATE AND FALLEN CORRUPT NATURE - INCEST THE INCESTUOUS ACCOUNT – GENESIS 19 VERSES 30 - 38 This is the last message in the series on Lot. In a number of ways doing the life of Lot is instructive, but ...read more

    Knocked Off Balance

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 11, 2023
     | 1,152 views

    When you are knocked off your feet, blind with tears or pain or even a light like the one Paul saw, the first thing to do is seek God.

    This has been a bad week. It started with one of the worst tragedies that has ever hit our country. Only wars, terrorist attacks and natural disasters have caused more anguish, more grief and suffering and loss, and more questions about providence and the presence - or absence - of God.

    Harmony And Fire

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022
     | 2,369 views

    Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, ...read more

    Abandonment Issues Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,431 views

    This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

    How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over? Children take a huge amount of time and attention. And of course it gets worse when they start to crawl and then to walk ...read more
