    Everything Falls Apart Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,921 views

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more

    Depression is one of the most common psychological problems, affecting nearly everyone through either personal experience or through depression in a family member. Each year over 17 million American adults experience a period of clinical depression.

    In this sermon I want you to dwell on the words of the Psalmist, and think about what it means to have an "unfailing love." How does that affect your faith and make you respond to trial in life? What do you trust?

    April 24, 2005 Psalm 33:12-22 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind; from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth— he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. ...read more

    The enemy has affected some of us through this battle of the mind with small thinking and inferior self esteem even convincing us that we just don’t measure up to doing anything significant for Jesus Christ.

    2011, A Better Year Ahead Philippians 4:6-8 (King James Version) Pastor Ken Crow 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and ...read more

    The overall theme of the great Sermon on the Mount by the Lord is how people of the Kingdom of Heaven are to live. Jesus now shows how, “Those who are His disciples should affect the world in the positive way in which they live.”

    “Called to Be Salt and Light.” Matthew 5:13-16 We have now concluded our study of the Beatitudes which serve as an introduction to Jesus’ great “Sermon the ...read more

    Contributed by Sterling Franklin on Jul 25, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,937 views

    God is our strength and refuge in the gloomiest moments of our lives. Let’s run to Him for shelter from the storm, and in the case of tragedy, especially so. Pray for those affected in the Norway shootings, that they may find their refuge in God.

    Text: Psalm 46 Open with me to Psalm 46. This week, Norway has been ravaged with the shootings of over 90 children at the hands of a madman. Families are shattered, friendships irrecoverable. Though this seemed to be a politically and racially motivated crime, many sources of media call this ...read more

    If I could give you a chance to go back to school and you would know how much school was going to affect the rest of your life (Better job, better quality of life...) would you do it?

    1 Cor. 3:9-15-For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

    Death Has Lost Its Sting, We Are All Resurrected, But To Where.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 8, 2016
     | 12,220 views

    What we believe about death and resurrection affects more of our lives than we think. This is a controversial subject, but it needs to be discussed and understood. Why is this important and what actually happens when we die, according to the bible?

    This sermon was delivered during Evening Song at Holy Trinity, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 6th November 2016; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.

    Mordecai, Esther, and the Jewish population in Persia may have been excited that a Jew had been selected as the new queen, but their excitement would not last. Trouble is brewing within the kingdom - a situation that will affect every Jew in the Persian Empire.

    Trouble is Brewing Esther 3: 1-7 It is likely that Mordecai and the Jews within Persia were feeling confident about their current situation. Although they remained a captive people within the land, one of their own had been crowned queen over the kingdom. This surely increased their outlook for ...read more

    Spiritually to often the opinion of others affects what we may think. But our choices to act on our own opinion, is truly what keeps us from being connected to our Heavenly Father our constant provider!

    No Service No Connection Psalm 37:23 NKJ The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. The Lord Himself delights in his ways! MSG. Stalwart walks in step with God;     his path blazed by God, he’s happy. If he stumbles, he’s not down for ...read more

    The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 2,028 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

     | 1,846 views

    In the days the past, the clarion call and mission of the black church was two-fold: it served as a beacon of hope for the lost-soul seeking grace and mercy, but it also functioned as an oasis for all issues affecting the community. BMCR is That for the United Methodist Church

    Hosea 11:1-5, 9-11 11:1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 11:2 The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols. 11:3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but ...read more

    Father's Day: Either gaining or missing the paternal blessing (or parental blessing) has a profound affect on our life, especially in having a positive or negative relationship with others. Without it we are destined to a life of problems.

    Turn with me to Genesis 48:8-16. We will begin our message this morning by standing in honor of the reading of God’s Word: 8 Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?” 9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring ...read more
