     | 1,595 views

    Christmas is the story of God. It’s the story of God’s praise for His mercy. God Designed Christmas for Fervent Worship Among All Peoples.

    I hope you’ll join me next week (January 2, 2011) for our church’s time of worship. In place of the normal sermon, we’ll mix things up a bit and take questions from you.

    Imagine if a governing authority told you, you must travel on January 1 – no exceptions. Let’s say you were given a one-way plane ticket where you can travel first class. Immediately you are excited but in the midst of your packing you pause to ask, “Where am I going?”

    The Many Moods Of Christmas

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 2, 2018
     | 4,280 views

    Everyone is so concerned about "Merry Christmas" verses "Happy Holidays". What about the context of either saying? Are you going through a good time in life? Then it is Merry but if you're going through a rough patch it can feel like salt in a wound.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2:8-20 which we will read in a few minutes. In this part of the narrative of the Christmas story we read of the encounter of the angels with the shepherds on the night of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. With that in mind lets go ahead and read Luke 2:8-20. In ...read more

    Obviously, God wants us to be a happy, satisfied people. We shouldn’t be restless & jealous, always chafing about what we don’t have. There should be a spirit of thankfulness in us that brands us as belonging to Him.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) Turn with me this morning to the 23rd Psalm, perhaps one of the best loved passages in the Bible. We often read it in times of stress or sorrow. But I would like you to see it in a slightly different way this morning. Now ...read more

     | 15,088 views

    We are presented with 5 different people who met the king. Each one meets him with a different attitude and from a different point of view. Needless to say, before we are done, we will see that not everyone was happy to see the king.

    Background: This chapter finds David returning to Jerusalem after a forced exile caused by Absalom his son. Absalom is now dead and King David is returning to retake his rightful place on the throne, Israel. David’s return finds the people of Israel in various states of mind and in various states ...read more

    THE MERITS OF MEEKNESS MATTHEW 5:5 INTRODUCTION: Maybe there is no other beatitude, spoken by Jesus, that is more confusing than the one we study today. “Blessed are the meek...” Why is it confusing?

    Jesus shares several pieces of Good News. One is that God is with us in the midst of tragedies and scarcity. Another piece of Good News is that Happiness can be experienced in the midst of the struggles of life. Luke’s sermon on the plain tells us how.

    Luke 6:17-23 “God Loves All the Little Children” INTRODUCTION “Work hard!” “Dream Big!” “The world is your oyster to crack and grab the pearl.” We grow up hearing these phrases and others like them. “America is the land of opportunity,” we are told. “Anyone can become president.” We hear ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,423 views

    The Bible does not give us all the answers to the questions we may have concerning heaven and hell. Someone has suggested that if we were given a full description of the joys of heaven, it would be impossible for us to be happy here on earth.

    How We Pray Is Important

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 23, 2012
     | 3,504 views

    I pray we will fail in our pursuit of happiness and that as our focus transforms from the selfish to the holy we will become more and more in tune with His Spirit, with His mission to reach and serve the world around us for His Son.

    For the last two weeks we’ve been talking about prayer. The first week we discussed Daniel and how he showed us through his story that prayer matters. We discovered that prayer matters because it helps us to rely on God’s mercy. Because it helps us to confess sin and ask for mercy ...read more

    Often we set a New Year's Resolution, because there is a part of ourselves we are not happy with, or we want to live better than we have before. The world says we can't change. But with God, nothing is impossible.

    Who here has ever made a new year’s resolution? How many people have actually stuck with it? I have made a new year’s resolution many times. A common one for me has been to lose weight, and get into shape. However, needless to say, I never lost weight. And I came to the realisation, ...read more
