    based on 37 ratings
     | 12,777 views

    When we come against those who come after us, sometimes we should ignore them, and other times we must speak succinctly to them.

    Every morning an older woman would go out on her porch, raise her arms to the sky and yell, “Praise the Lord!” An atheist bought the house next door to her and quickly became irritated with these expressions of exaltation. After putting up with it for about a week, he couldn’t take it anymore. The ...read more

    based on 29 ratings

    Evangelism is still the primary purpose of the church. It was important to Christ and should be important to those who claim to follow Him.

    (The outline of this message comes from David Waddle, Sr. Pastor of Grace Heartland Church, Elizabethtown, KY, and a mentor to me in the ministry) SERIES: “THE CHALLENGE TO THE CHURCH IN 2005” TEXT: MATTHEW 28:18-20 TITLE: “RE-ESTABLISHING EVANGELISM AS OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE” INTRODUCTION: A. ...read more

    based on 69 ratings

    The Gladness Of Sadness Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 24, 2004
    based on 49 ratings
     | 23,757 views

    In one of the most profound, and paradoxical texts in the Bible, Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted.”

    The Gladness of Sadness I like to begin my messages with something that makes us laugh when I can (though some of you probably wouldn’t necessarily call it humor). As we approach the second Beatitude however, I realize that frivolity isn’t called for today. In fact, this character quality is no ...read more

    The Supreme Question Of Life Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 15, 2003
    based on 405 ratings
     | 117,137 views

    Many scholars believe this passage was based on a hymn that was sung by the early church. We all need to answer the question: Is Christ prominent in my life, or is He preeminent? He doesn’t just want a place in our lives, He demands first place.

    The Supreme Question of Life In Thursday’s Washington Post, an article appeared about a new church in the state of Maryland. I won’t reveal the name of the denomination that is behind this endeavor because I don’t want to publicly criticize it from the pulpit. You can look it up when this sermon ...read more

    An examination of what the Lord’s Prayer is and three invitations we find from the Lord’s prayer.

    The Protestant Reformer Martin Luther once said, “Just as the business of the tailor is making clothes and the business of the cobbler is making shoes, so the business of the Christian is praying.” If that’s true, I have a question for us this morning: How’s business?
