    Don’t Leave Anybody Out

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on May 27, 2013
     | 8,173 views

    We are all bound together in the bundle of life, we have an inter-dependency that ties us together and the truth is I need you and you need me!

    “And the eye cannot say unto the hand I have no need of thee; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of thee.” Introduction Most of us are familiar with the story of the ugly duckling that, though ridiculed, thought of as being very insignificant among the other little ducks, persecuted ...read more

    In this sermon we analyze Jesus as the bridegroom and learn what Christianity is.

    Scripture If you know anything about the life of Jesus, you know that he faced growing opposition throughout his ministry.

    In 13 words, Jesus reveals the only way a person can get to heaven and how the worst person can get there apart from “religion.”

    Everyone enjoys a good scandal. It makes for great headlines, website views, and magazine sales. The famous last words of Jesus that we’ll focus on this weekend are the most scandalous last words in history. His 13 words to a dying criminal confronts all religions, spirituality, belief ...read more

     | 8,538 views

    How can we make a difference in our generation? 1. Focus on family (vs. 1). 2. Go forward in God's grace (vs. 1-6). 3. Pursue our purpose in God's plan (vs. 15-16). 4. Trust God to work today (vs. 17).

    Making a Difference in Our Generation Matthew 1:1-17 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - Dec. 5, 2012 *In these verses God tells us about the generations from Abraham to Christ.

    The plight of the homeless in America should be the concern of everyone of us, we should never look down on them as if they don't exist.

    Introduction I have a burden for the homeless, my heart goes out to them every time I see someone roaming the dangerous streets of Houston, Texas. The Evangelist Malcolm Scott, Jr. once wrote that, “There is nothing worse then a burden less preacher” and cannot help but agree with him. ...read more

    If we have been grafted into the Body of Christ through faith, how should Holy Branches live their lives?

    “The Lives of Holy Branches” Romans 11:16-24 I’m sure we all know the proverb, “Experience is the best teacher.” In life, you often learn “lessons” from an experience, but everyone’s life “experience” is going to be different, so we ...read more

    Big Specks And Little Logs

    Contributed by Monty Newton on Mar 3, 2013

    At the very heart of hypocrisy is the abiity to spot a speck in another person's eye while being blind to the log in one's own eye.

    This is an amazing passage of scripture… it is most often quoted by those who do not follow Christ and directed at those who do follow Christ. Hypocrisy is the number one sin Christians are accused of doing. Title: Big Specks and Little Logs (The idea is that we tend to play up the sins of ...read more

    How Jesus Dealt With Rejection

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Mar 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,010 views

    How should we deal with or respond to rejection? It’s a very good question especially when it comes to the Church.

    The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he actually hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected. It can make you come to the conclusion Oprah Winfrey came to when she said, “I don’t want anyone who doesn’t want me” because no one ...read more

    The story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not end on Friday. It did not end in death. Because it was early on Sunday morning – the very first day of the week – Jesus rose from the dead.

    The story of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion did not end on Friday. It did not end in death. Because it was early on Sunday morning – the very first day of the week – Jesus rose from the dead.

     | 5,201 views

    Jesus rode into town as a king but died as a rebel. However, in his death we recieved a King. This sermon discovers reasons He was labled a rebel worthy of death.

    As I was beginning to prepare for this weeks sermon on the secrets of the Kingdom I realized that we have not met the King yet. Therefore, this week we are going to step away from the Kingdom teaching so that I might introduce you to the King. Since this is Palm Sunday, I think we should start ...read more

    Mankind has made a real mess of the world in which we live. All around us we see the bitter fruits of hatred, selfishness, & greed. No, I don’t know why God should love us. But He does!

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. There is a beautiful old hymn that begins with these words: “Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should He love me so?” And the chorus of that hymn asks again, “Why should He ...read more

    Who's Your Daddy?

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 23, 2013
     | 8,458 views

    Wikipedia states that, “Who's your daddy? is an expression used as a boastful claim of dominance over the intended listener. We see it in sports when someone beats their opponent. It’s like another saying, “I own you”. It’s fitting to use in a spiritual s

    Marks Of The Faithful Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,004 views

    With what God has entrusted to us, are we faithful not only as individuals but as a church toward God. Are we willing to faithfully pursue Him and walk with Him no matter what! God put the church in the world; Satan tries to put the world in the church. Be faithful!

    Opening illustration: I wonder what Christ or even the apostle Paul would say if they were to visit our churches today. What a beehive of activity! Committees, programs, entertainment without end. But worship is often downplayed, services are cut back, prayer meetings are eliminated. Some call ...read more
