    Bumpin Into Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,475 views

    This sermon is about making an effort to encounter Jesus in an intentional way instead of just bumping into him on occasion. It should cause us to look at our relationship with Christ and evaluate whether we are in a relationship with Jesus or if he is just a casual acquaintance.

    In our scripture today we find Jesus surrounded by a large crowd on His way to the home of a synagogue official named Jarius’ whose daughter is dying. Now in the whole of the scripture today we learn of two separate miracles but I want to focus on just one today. I want to focus not on the ...read more

    God can use the ordinary things in our lives for His extraordinary purpose. Also, this is a great sermon to finish the spiritual gifts study with.

    Introduction: "When God is ready to do what seems to be the impossible He takes what appears to be the improbable and transforms it into the improvable." It has been said of the Church: "20% of the people do 80% of the work of the Church." It has also been said of the Church that: "20% of the ...read more

    A Christmas Eve meditation on Jesus' preparation for His sacrifice. Jesus revealed His purpose in taking on flesh in this first message He delivered to a small synagogue.

    When Tragedy Strikes

    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,735 views

    None of us seeks tragedy for ourselves nor should we ever wish tragedy on others. However, from a Christian perspective comes the confidence that God can and will use tragedy for good… He will redeem it for His ultimate purpose. Romans 8:28 says, “And we

    “When Tragedy Strikes” Romans 5:1-5 Introduction Last week the world watched as the tragic events unfolded surrounding the random violence which occurred at Virginia Tech. A young man apparently for no specific reason, opened fire on fellow students with a handgun. At least 30 people were ...read more

    Satan's War Against God's Creaton Ii Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Feb 16, 2009
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,054 views

    If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

    Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more

    Confirming The Covenant Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jun 15, 2024
     | 1,036 views

    God is bringing us back to the Garden, the new Jerusalem - the city which has foundations whose architect and builder is God - the place of deep fulfillment in every sense.

    In this Genesis series, we can see that one of the themes running through the book is “blessing.” One of the meanings of the Hebrew word for blessing is “deep fulfillment.” When God created Adam and Eve they were in a blessed state - they were deeply fulfilled. However, as soon as they were exiled ...read more

    It is God’s will that all those who are in Christ Jesus should express constant joy, constant prayer, and constant thanksgiving.

    God’s Will For You 10/21/07 PM Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice, pray, and give thanks” sound like ordinary and desirable activities to expect a Christian to engage in; but when you add the adverbs, you have a real challenge: “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give ...read more

    Kids In Worship...really?

    Contributed by Sarah Keith on Oct 10, 2009
     | 3,395 views

    Worship must be included among the basic disciplines of childhood in order to help them understand the honor and respect that is due our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Can you imagine never teaching children the alphabet, and then expecting them to read as adults? Or expecting to have emotionally healthy children, but never giving them hugs or expressing your love to them? If these basic things are so important, then isn’t it equally important to teach children ...read more

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Sep 1, 2015
     | 6,292 views

    Our mission from God is bigger than what we come up with on our own. This sermon is specific to our church's mission, but applicable on a broader scale.

    Intro: (MI theme plays on video for a minute as I come up) Good morning, Mr. Phelps… That’s how the tape would always begin in the old MI shows. (I guess it was always in the morning.) Then, the voice on the tape would explain to Peter Graves the impossible mission he was being ...read more
