    Mountains come in all shapes and sizes. Jesus has a better idea than climbing a mountain. He says you can move a mountain. But sometimes instead of moving the mountain, God moves you.

    INTRODUCTION It’s a true story; only the names have been changed to protect the embarrassed. Little Tommy attended first grade Sunday School faithfully. He loved his teacher, Mrs. Smith.

    A series of sermons on "What Would Jesus Hate?" This idea came from Tim Harlow at a convention. I preached Tim Harlow’s stuff on judging sinners and disciple dividing. This is my stuff on legalism.

    Evening Service for 8/8/2010 “What Would Jesus Hate? Legalism” HoHum: One Sunday afternoon there was a drunken man who was staggering down a country path. He came upon a baptismal service at a pond. There were many to be baptized that day and the drunk, not knowing what was going on, got in the ...read more

    We are responsible for our bros. & sisters. The church family was God’s idea and was meant for good. Encourage always, but sometimes a stronger, bolder approach is needed, while being gracious with one another.

    Gracious Living 2 Thessalonians 3:13-18 Intro: Two preachers were on the roadside with a sign that read, "The End is Near - turn around now before it’s too late".

    The Simplicity Of The Gospel

    Contributed by David Scudder on Apr 25, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,123 views

    If we are not careful, we can be so tangled up in a long string of religious ideas and rules that we wind up confused and discouraged. Many things about Christianity and the Bible are very complicated, the Gospel is not complicated.

    Purpose: To explain the meaning of the Gospel. Aim: I want the listener to commit (or re-commit) his life to spreading the Gospel and rejoicing in the resurrected Christ. INTRODUCTION: Life can get very complicated. An illustration of this is a traffic sign at an intersection of two superhighways ...read more

    The following sermon is going to review Hebrews 12:18-29 in order to help remind us not only of the infinite value of our blessings in Christ but also the warning that the tears of the foolish on that final day will not be able to put out the consuming fire of God!

    This message is on restoration. Job's wife is left alone as the bad person. She was hurting and Job did not have sympathy for her problem " You have spoken like a foolish woman" At the end the three names of Job's daughters show God's restoration.

    This sermon handles two heresies creeping into some of our modern day churches, the idea the Old Testament is not valuable for a believer and that a Christian can't sin, based on Romans 6:1-14.

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

    Where is God in a world that doesn’t make sense? God can be found intimately involved in the world, hidden by our preconceived ideas, and limited spiritual imagination.
