    Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Dec 15, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,097 views

    God looked at the world, saw all of mankind when they were both sleeping and awake and knew the world could never change no matter how hard they tried, without a Savior to lead and bring the world back into relationship with Him!

    Santa Clause is coming to town Ephesians 1:3-6 MSG 3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of ...read more

    The closest love to God’s love is to witness the love of a good mother. Sadly this is not always the case, but it is the best model we have to follow. There are some emotional bits in this sermon making it very powerful, even hard to deliver.

    Looking For Leftovers Series

     | 74,389 views

    Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more

    Responding With Forgiveness

     | 4,416 views

    All of us would probably have to admit that when we have been mistreated, we find it hard to have a Christ-like mind and to express the forgiving Spirit of Christ toward those who have mistreated us.

    4-24-05 Title: Responding with Forgiveness Text: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,274 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

    Without desire few if any accomplishments will be seen in our life. It is one of those indefinable items of life that’s hard to define but easy to recognize. Caleb was hungry for more! God has so much more for us.

    Sermon: Don’t Settle for Less When More is Available Scripture: Joshua 15:13-19 “The Lord commanded Joshua to assign some of Judah’s territory to Caleb son of Jephunneh. So Caleb was given the town of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), which had been named after Anak’s ancestor. 14 Caleb drove out the ...read more

    We humans often have a hard time remembering things. Maybe your memory has gotten so bad that you figure that within a few years you’ll be able to hide your own Easter eggs.

    Do This In Remembrance. Luke 22:7-13NLT A man was working in his backyard one day, when his neighbor began talking to him over the fence. He said, "Yeah, my wife and I went to one of those seminars yesterday, you know, where they teach you ways to improve your memory and such.” ...read more

    Sermon # 14 - Stay United, Prayerful And Obedient Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 3, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 787 views

    Jonah’s disobedience brought untold troubles on all the crew aboard that ship. The church too must be wary of those who are divisive and must strive hard to maintain unity, integrity continuing in prayer and being obedient to God.

    We read in Jonah 1:11, Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea was raging and growing more tempestuous. (AFV) The events that preceded this verse were that the ship on which Jonah voyaged was faced with a severe tempest. The mariners ...read more

    I want to start with a question. Why study the book of Revelation? There is a lot of buzz around that says that Revelation is too hard to understand, it’s a prophetic book, there are too many symbols and no one really understands the book of Revelation.

    Are you feeling lonely, forsaken and wondering when God will intervene to bring deliverance from your hard situations? Here’s the good news! We have a redeemer, and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    We read in Judges 5:31, “And there was peace in the land for forty years.”(GNB) The people of Israel enjoyed peace in the land for forty years, and this was possible because the Lord rendered the enemies of the Israelites powerless and established peace in the land. It is indeed true that the Lord ...read more

    Focus On The Good Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 874 views

    Our thoughts can either bring us down or lift us up. Focusing on the negatives makes it hard to see the positives. We need to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

    Today we're going to talk about focus. You know, like when your teacher tells you to stop daydreaming and pay attention in class. But we're not talking about algebra or history, we're talking about life and our relationship with God. Let's be real, there's a lot of stuff out there trying to grab ...read more

    Some­thing hap­pened to me, which was known only to my­self, and which caused me the most se­vere men­tal suf­fer­ing. The hymn was the fruit of that suf­fer­ing. It was the quick­est bit of work I ever did in my life. I had the im­press­ion of hav­ing it

    O Joy That Seeks Me Through Pain (Psa 23:3) He restores my soul.

    Thanksgiving Holiday: God's grace results in thanksgiving, and a grateful heart enables believers to withstand hardship. A thankful heart also helps us to see God’s ability to work through our pain for His glory.

    For our Thanksgiving holiday message, I want to open with a little humor. “A kindergarten teacher was telling her students all about the Pilgrims as she prepared them for the Thanksgiving season. After one little girl had gone home and shared the details she remembered from her teacher’s lesson, ...read more
