Flora's Message

Contributed by Ryan Akers on Sep 22, 2005

This is a very simple sermon written specifically for a lady in our church who passed away. But the message is a salvation message. I hope you may be able to use it to help you in writing a personal message about someone in your church.

I will admit that I pride myself in trying to learn and remember names, but for some reason, and I have never admitted this, I have the hardest time remembering ...read more

Learning Courage In Christ

Contributed by John Herrmann on Nov 14, 2008

Today’s lesson finds a man digging a hole in the ground. We learn that a man going on a journey entrusted a portion of his wealth to three of his employees. Two of the three employees invested their wealth and received commendable returns. The third was afraid and hid his in a hole in the ground. ...read more

Servanthood And Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus had not come to be an earthly, military king who would free the Jews from Rome. He came for something greater. He came to free mankind from themselves, the slavery of sin, and an eternity separated from God. He came as a servant and bids us to do the same.

Greatness. Who comes to mind when you hear this word? To some, this word brings thoughts of a great athlete. To others, it brings to mind a great military commander or world leader of the past. To others, it brings to mind an artist or a musician. But who is truly great, what does greatness mean ...read more
