    Below The Poverty Line

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 8, 2011
     | 3,831 views

    All of the beatitudes - and the rewards that accompany them - presuppose humility, acknowledgement of of one's dependence on God's mercy.

    Are you happy? If not, what would it take to make you happy? “What is happiness?” and “How can I get happiness?” are two of the most pressing questions facing people in the United States today. Most of us don’t have to worry a great deal about food, clothing and ...read more

    Enoch refused to be defined by his world and his culture.

    Enoch ‘Was Not’ because He ‘Was Not’ (Genesis 5:18-24) “Jared lived 162 years, and begot Enoch. [19] After he begot Enoch, Jared lived 800 years, and had sons and daughters. [20] So, all the days of Jared were 962 years; and he died. [21] Enoch lived 65 years, and ...read more

    Our Refuge And Strength Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021
     | 3,904 views

    This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

    Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

    This Is A Test

    Simon Peter shares with his house churches how they can not only endure tests and trials but that in God's hands those tests and trials can lead to a more victorious life.

    Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-9; Hebrews 11:32-39 Title: This is a Test Tests and trials are a part of life – Simon Peter shares with us how to deal with those tests. INTRO: How many of you remember that interruption/message of the Test of the Emergency Broadcast System. Suddenly, you would ...read more

    Bless You!

     | 7,817 views

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows the way of the believer. As we follow Christ daily, we will be blest. Our focus should be on the blessing, not the circumstance, and we should share the blessing with others.

    Matthew 5:1-12 Bless You! Today is a sermon on a sermon, perhaps the most famous sermon of all: the Beatitudes, part of Jesus’ longer Sermon on the Mount. The word “beatitude” means “blessed” in Latin. The Beatitudes are all about finding blessings in unexpected places. Who would expect to be ...read more

    Old Faithless Series

    Eternal life is for those who live faithfully before God, believing in his promises and living by his standards, even when the pressures to conform to our culture are nearly overwhelming.

    Has it ever occurred to you that the Bible probably ought to be rated “R”? It’s definitely not G, and parental guidance is certainly needed. I don’t think it rates an X, even though there’s an awful lot of violence, especially in the OT, and even some sexually ...read more

    Looking For A Good Room

    Wealth holds us back from inheriting eternal life: but wealth is anything earthyl that we hold onto as valuable in opposition to things heavenly. We must melt down these idols and consecrate the gold to the temple.

    “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mk. 17:17). There are two alternates to eternal life: eternal death and temporal life. Neither is appealing. Eternal life is worth struggling for. The rich young man asked the Lord what must he do. He understood that attainment of heaven was ...read more

    When God Builds His Church

    It's easy to get discouraged about our work for the Lord when we look at it from a worldly perspective. But God is doing a work that is not always visible to you and me.

    “When God Builds His Church” Haggai 2:1-9 January 9th 2011 “'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the Lord Almighty." Haggai 2:9 (NIV) Introduction: > ...read more

    God sets the standard for GOODNESS ... He turns badness into GOODNESS. It’s God’s nature to be good. We can trust in the GOODNESS of God.

    “Ain’t God Good!” INTRODUCTION: God is good … AMEN? I learned this from childhood. 1.- When I was just a child, my mother taught me a prayer to say at mealtime: “God is great, God is GOOD, let us thank Him for our food. By His hands we all are fed. Give us Lord, our daily bread. Amen.” 2.- ...read more

    Excusing Our Sin: "I'm A Good Person"

    based on 13 ratings

    This message looks at what we really mean when we say, "He’s a good person" and what the Biblical standard is to be able to say that.

    1. Our Belief: “I’m a good person.” 2. Some Examples Of God’s Standards: a. It’s a blot on our record every time we get angry at a friend without cause. - Matthew 5:21-22. - We’ll say, “Well, at least I’m not a murderer,” but here we see that we’re in danger of judgment for our unjustified ...read more

    ARE YOU FULLY EQUIPPED FOR LIFE? IF THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT READ AND APPLIED DAILY, YOU ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO LIVE LIFE. THE BIBLE IS OUR PERFECT STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT FOR LIFE.

    Fully Equipped Text: 2nd Timothy 3:14-17 Introduction. I’d like to tell you a story about a little 9 year-old boy by the name of “Joey”. Joey’s parents took him to Sunday school and his teacher taught the class a lesson from the Bible. Now the lesson the teacher taught was from the Book ...read more

    The Good Life Series

     | 5,385 views

    A good life involves having 1) the right attitude, 2) have the right response, 3) have the right standard, and 4) have the right incentive.

    VBS this week: joy of children celebrating realities of God, it becomes obvious how we often learn ways of casting off Joy and losing focus. This morning, given our locale of worship, I want to change our usual format to focus on the nature of a good life in 1 Pt 3:8-12 in having 1) the right ...read more

    Have You Ever Noticed How Criticism Can Be A Way Of Life?

    Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,322 views

    In a culture where the lines of right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, how and who determines what is the standard for what is true and what is false?

    Have you ever noticed how criticism can be a way of life? In fact, we might say that it is the democratic way of life and an integral part of our society. We have music critics, art critics, drama critics and movies critics. Politicians, athletes, teachers and preachers are critiqued. We critique ...read more

    Here walked a man that the disciples were drooling over. He was righteous, rich, and ready to become a follower of Jesus. But the standards were out of reach for him.

    Passage: Matthew 19:16-30 Intro: I saw a campaign sign this week that made me think. 1. “water is our future” 2. if it is, we are in trouble. 3. I like water, but it can only do so much 4. but that kind of statement reveals a classic human characteristic. 5. we look for security ...read more

    Jesus, The Heavenly Comforter

     | 3,012 views

    When we fail to keep his perfect standards perfectly, our failures remind us that Jesus, the cross and the empty tomb is our only hope.

    The Gospel passage from Mark 10:2-16 appears at first glance to be two unrelated stories, but there is a connection between the two of them. Both stories tell us how Jesus cares for the outcasts and the less fortunate in society and how he expects us to treat them. In Old Testament times, ...read more
