     | 10,331 views

    Following Jesus takes us beyond family values to embrace God’s Kingdom values in our family relationships.

    I’ve been reading some authors this week who are deeply concerned about the decline of traditional family values (Dr. Richard Saller, "Family Values in Ancient Rome" www.fathom.com/feature/121908). These authors are concerned that fewer and fewer women are wanting to invest in their children as ...read more

     | 97,311 views

    In contrast to our self-seeking ways, Jesus is the personification of servanthood. Just as He came to serve and not to be served, we’re expected to do the same. Becoming a servant means that we swim against the cultural current and follow the model of t

     | 39,574 views

    When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem in the last week of His life he was greeted with cheers, but He wept over the city because of their superficial beliefs and spiritual blindness. Learn the valuable personal lessons that apply to us today.

    A Day of Cheers and Tears Luke 19:28-45 By Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION I turned 50 in January and someone in the church was kind enough to send me a revised list of hymns for the over-50 crowd: 1. “Precious Lord, Take my Hand, and Help Me Up” 2. “It is Well with my Soul; but my Knees ...read more

    What's In A Name? (The Third Commandment) Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Jan 10, 2001
    based on 134 ratings
     | 28,249 views

    As followers of Jesus Christ, we carry God’s name with us wherever we go, whatever we do.

    What’s in a name? In Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo asks that very question: "What’s in a name? A rose by any other name still smells just as sweet." Romeo would have us believe that names are just arbitrary ways of saying who we are.   But names are far more important than Romeo would ...read more

    Four word pictures of the eternal state, explained for people investigating the Christian faith.

    The central claim of the Christian faith is that someone has died and lived to tell us what lies beyond death’s door. That’s the Easter claim, that Jesus Christ died at the hands of professional executioners, that he was placed in a heavily guarded tomb, and that three days later Jesus Christ ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,809 views

    This sermon inspires the greatest sacrifice of all, the sacrifice of self to Jesus Christ through which we can find real life.

    Ten Marks of a Prevailing Church Mark #8: Uncommon Sacrifice Philippians 2:1-17 August 12, 2001 Intro: A. [Will You Wash My Dishes?] Sometimes we get a distorted idea about what love is.

    based on 91 ratings
     | 16,639 views

    All churches have signs. Most of these are not literal signs, but rather unwritten messages that are communicated loud and clear - especially to people who don’t go to church.

    The Greatest Place on Earth – Part 4 February 3, 2002 (For this message we had 6 signs made and I unveiled them one at a time. In our foyer we have permanently hung the three that communicate what churhes should. Thanks to Mike Breaux, Lexington, KY for the seed idea.) INTRODUCTION Play the ...read more

    Contributed by David Dykes on Mar 31, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,159 views

    After almost a century of exile, the Jews returned to find Jerusalem in ruins. They were spiritually unplugged. Ezra is a great story of how they plugged in to what God had for them. Giving an offering was an important step in getting plugged in.

    Are You Plugged in to Support God’s Work? Ezra 3:5-7 by Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION Before I get started, I just remembered we are taking some friends out to lunch, and I’m out of cash.

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003

     | 12,711 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

    This morning, we’re going to encounter someone who was in desperate need of grace. She came face-to-face with her sin ­ and with Jesus ­ and drank deeply of the “Sensitivity of Grace.”

    The Sensitivity of Grace If you’ve been with us for the last four weeks, you’ll know that we’re in the middle of a series called, “Grace Encounters.” As we look at how Jesus interacted with people, we’ve been learning about how grace can change our lives.
