    Cardboard testimonies sermon, dealing with the past versus the present in Christ. Full text, audio & Communion message will be placed at: www.sermonlist.com

    Many people, including all of us, have done things in our lives that God despised. Oh, by worldly standards we weren’t that bad, but we must remember that to God, there is no distinction between sins. To God, a little white lie is just as bad a shooting somebody because they are both done with ...read more

    Things God’s children can be confident about.

    During the first half of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco 23 workmen fell to their death. Working on the project became so dangerous that they halted construction of the bridge to install a huge net at the cost of $100,000 (a large sum in the early 1930’s). After the ...read more

    There are many people who try to deny that Jesus did indeed die on the cross. We hear of people all the time who try to dispute the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We have heard of the “swoon theory,” the “Passover plot,” and the Christian Science (neither

    EASTER GRAVEYARD DEAD TEXT: John 19:16-30 INTRODUCTION: There is a seal of utter finality in the language of children. I remember hearing the term a “bazillion” the ultimate in numbers.

    Sermon 1 - Your Purpose

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 21, 2005
    based on 195 ratings
     | 52,607 views

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

    All of us have questions about why we exist. I think the two most asked questions about our lives are: a) The question of reason - "Why am I here?" b) The question of value - "Do I really matter?" Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more

    Is the hand of God with you during good times, or maybe, God has brought you to terrible times as well. Why would the hand of God leave us in difficult times?

    The right place at the right time. Coincidence? Happenstance? Good fortune? The wrong place at the wrong time. Bad luck? Fate? Accidental? When an amazing and wonderful thing happens in our life we say that the hand of God was certainly with us….does that mean that when something bad happens in ...read more

    The Bullet Proof Vest

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 24, 2012
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,117 views

    A message laying out the case for Jesus, using evidences allowed in courtrooms. Primarily aimed at seekers, but even mature Christians will gain from hearing this message. Inspired by Sean McDowell’s GODQUEST series.

    When you think of Jesus, what mental image or picture comes to mind? Do you see Him as this indescribable and unknowable figure who lives in the sky, or do you imagine Him as a very personal confidante that walks beside you wherever you go? We all have some mental image of Jesus. The trouble is ...read more

    Look at Me “And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means 'Place of a Skull,' they gave Him wine to drink mixed with gall; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink. And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

    We develop joy in the body of Christ by looking beyond our circumstances and developing contentment in our lives.

    Before I read our story from Home Town Tales, let’s take a moment to briefly review the three aspects of the fruit of the Sprit that we’re focusing on during this series: THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT 1) Is demonstrated by being not doing 2) Is developed as Christ followers cooperate with ...read more

    Seating down at the Banquet event with God as the Host. His Angels are our waiters and waitresses, We have the Appetizers, the soup, the salad, the transitional (wine), the intermezzo (sorbert), the main course, and the desert. So we have to TASTE.

    As I pondered this message today God clearly placed in my spirit these words Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take him at his word, Just to rest upon his promise, Just to know, Thus saith the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him! How I’ve proved him o’er and o’er! Jesus, Jesus, precious ...read more

    As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person

    I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

    Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Commitment Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,623 views

    We struggle with commitment in our world today. Marriages, for example, last as long as life is convenient. Commitment to God has dwindled as well. If we are going to make a difference in the world, and set our country right, we need a solid commitment to God.

    Lack of commitment is something that runs rampant in our world today. People do not truly stand for anything or are even truly committed to anything. They are blown around like fall leaves in a windstorm, swirling around, going this way and that. (Chameleon Commitment By Neal Gracey Copied from ...read more
