    A Happy Home

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Dec 27, 2015
     | 16,142 views

    A short message about the blessing of a happy home being found in psalms 128. I used it for Christmas but can be altered to fit any message about the family.

    A Happy Home Introduction: This is the Christmas season and I notice year after year how the devil tries to ruin our celebration. It's obvious to the spiritual person that the Devil doesn't want to see people be reminded of the star that would lead wise men to the one who would be his ruin. He ...read more

     | 9,519 views

    The passage that we will look at today is the beginning of 1 Peter 1 in which the Apostle Peter calls us all strange. Do you believe that?! The Apostle Peter calls those of us who are believers “strange.”

    “STRANGERS IN THE WORLD” 1 PETER 1:1-13 STRANGE THINGS HUMANS DO …olsonnd.com/weird-things-humans-do/ I was thinking about our passage today, and I got to thinking about the word “strange.” The word “strange” to me means odd and unexpected or ...read more

    Play God Day Series

    based on 17 ratings
     | 10,096 views

    Play God Day is "celebrated" on January 9th and encourages people to do something nice for others. That's good. But "playing God" also has a negative side. What's wrong with "playing God" and how do I recognize if I'm falling into that trap?

    This is the 2nd in our series of “holidays” in January you probably haven’t heard of. This one is called the “Play God Day” and its “observed” on January 9th each year. According to www.cute_calendar.com: “The day encourages you to do something ...read more

    Peculiar People Day Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 17, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 30,483 views

    The KJV uses the word "peculiar" 7 times - but it didn't mean "odd" or "bizarre" - it meant a treasured "possession". But what does that mean to us and how should that effect our daily lives as Christians?

    (I opened by reading Titus 2:11-14 from the KJV) OPEN: Last Sunday (January 10th) was “Peculiar People Day”. Nobody knows who came up with the idea of making that a special day (somebody thinks it might have been the greeting card companies) but the whole idea of this Peculiar People ...read more

If the last three sermons have hit home with you then you are likely encouraged, even excited, to serve the Lord as Christ's ambassadors. You realize that you are a new creation and cannot live the way you used to. Not that you have ...read more
