  • I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,941 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    A look at the family aspects of church

    THE FAMILY OF GOD INTRO 1. One of the most important parts of the church is its family-like aspect 1 Tim. 3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 14, 2002
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,382 views

    Our lives have seasons like summer: heated, turbulent, conflicted. This is a result of unconfessed sin and of not listening to God’s priorities.

    Every season of the year has its joys and its challenges. But God has ordained them all for the benefit of His creation. And every season of our lives has its joys and its challenges. Yet again God has ordained all these for the benefit of His people. Every season of the year is ...read more

    A look at Isaiah 40:31 from the point of veiw of what it means to wait on the Lord.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WAIT ON THE LORD? Text Isaiah 40:31 Last week we looked at waiting on the Lord by looking at the eagle and how they raise their young. Today I want to continue to look at waiting on the Lord but look more in depth on the waiting part but maybe with a slightly different ...read more

    A look at Iasiah 40:31 from the perspective of flying in an aeroplane and climbing above the storms in life.

    WHY I LIKE TO FLY! Text: Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. For most of my life I have had a passion to fly and had my first flight when I was 3 ...read more

  • Thy Kingdom Come: Still Blind And Mute Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 10, 2001
    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,686 views

    Praying for the Kingdom to come is an awesome responsibility, for some of us remain blind and mute despite Jesus’ healing, criticizing those who are different and causing divisions.

    Our backyard is heavily populated. It is home to birds and bugs, to snails and occasional snakes, and most of all, our backyard is populated with moles. The turf is home to those burrowing creatures, moles. I have the twisted ankle to prove it, thanks to sinking in one of the burrows. Our ...read more

  • Thy Will Be Done: By Any Means Necessary? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 16, 2001
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,513 views

    To pray for the will of God to be done in the aftermath of the terror of Sept. 11 is to see that the will of God and the ways of God must always be joined; to avoid sinking to the level of the terrorists; and to repent of little faith and recommmit to the

    A number of years ago, a poet penned poignant words as he saw the beginning of the end for the greatest nation of his day. He saw that the far-flung influence his country had thrown over much of the world could no longer be held. The people who had felt pressed by it were demanding their own ...read more

  • All Is Now Yours: Giving What We Do Not Have

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,013 views

    In uncertain times, it remains true that giving away what we cannot possess anyway is the path to fulfillment; it must, however, be a gift that refreshes the fainting.

    It seems that we do not have what we think we have. Sometimes what seems to be ours is not ours at all. Buildings as sturdy as the Pentagon and as imposing as the World Trade Center can be destroyed in a moment of awful terror. Lives promising and beautiful are snuffed out, and there is little ...read more

  • For Me

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 61 ratings
     | 6,866 views

    Funeral message for Calvin John King, widower, father of seven, and long-term post-traumatic stress syndrome sufferer.

    We have all been taught to be unselfish. “Share your toys”, we say to our children. I am pretty sure that was said in the King household, with seven pairs of hands grabbing for the same stuffed animal. “Let your brother have some of your candy bar; you must not be selfish.” All very well, ...read more

  • Advancing Without Hindrance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 18, 2001
    based on 54 ratings
     | 22,857 views

    In our own lives, as well as in the life of the church, there are barriers to advancement, but they are nowhere near as difficult as our spiritual hindrances.

    When I entered junior high school, I was introduced to track and field games – to things like the 100-yard dash, relay races, and, most of all, the hurdles. As any red-blooded American boy would have done, I had done my share of running and climbing and bicycling and the like. But hurdles I had ...read more

  • Never Powerless Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 26, 2002
    based on 40 ratings
     | 8,261 views

    We are powerless to change things only because we give power away and do not know how to reclaim it. We can do so first by affirming that change comes only through Jesus Christ, and then by believing that He partners with us when we pray. To do any less

    We are never powerless. We think we are. We think we cannot change the things that trouble us. But in fact we are never powerless. We just give away our power. We give away our power and do not know how to claim it again. Those who have power over us have it only because we let them ...read more

  • Never Unloved Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 2, 2002
    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,664 views

    Some receive love, but reject it; others never know that they are loved. In either case, the Cross is evidence that we have never been unloved.

    We need to think not only about the way we relate to other people, but also about how we receive them. It is not enough simply to be friendly and cordial. We also need to look at how we receive people when they extend themselves to us. I went to a meeting this week, where all the ...read more

  • Presenting Arms: Embrace For Life Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 1, 2001
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,127 views

    Incredible numbers of people are falling, and we have contributed by pushing them to the edge and failing to listen. But at the Lord’s Table we see the embracing arms of Christ and are empowered to lift the fallen and give them life.

    Those of you who were in my Vacation Bible School class know what happened – the class was supposed to run from 7:15 until 9:00 each night. At 8:57, what did I say? Something like: I know you have to go, but there are just a couple more points I want to make. And so, at a few minutes after 9, ...read more

  • Prayer, Power, Politics, And Plagues

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 1, 2001
    based on 26 ratings
     | 4,052 views

    Election eve sermon -- there are plagues in the body politic, created by inauthentic leadership; the best gift we can give to our national leadership is prayer, though we will likely see the haughtiness of politicians and smell the stench of plagues again.

    He sat on his elegant furniture, in his fabulous house, surrounded by the glories of a wealthy nation, attended by efficient servants, powerful enough to command just about anything. But today he was miserable, miserable beyond words, because everywhere he looked they were there. In his way, ...read more
