    Marriage is hard work, but God can help us improve our marriages.

    A. I hope you have been encouraged and inspired as we have been addressing the topic of faithfulness this fall. 1. During the first four sermons of the series I tried to drive home the point that God is faithful, and that our faithfulness is to be in response to His faithfulness. 2. I have also ...read more

    In hard times, God is teaching us, but in good times, God is testing us.

    Good morning, beloved family in Christ. As we gather here today, we find ourselves standing at the crossroads of life, where the path is often winding and the journey unpredictable. We are here to seek solace, to find answers, and to understand the divine will of our Heavenly Father. Today, we are ...read more

    Peeling Off The Grime

     | 4,033 views

    Being born again is like taking a shower after a hard days work

    Peeling Off the Grime A side effect of hard physical labor is that we get dirty. Working out leave us sweaty and less than sweet smells. And after awhile, we start to feel as if we can take a putty knife and peel off the grime. I know I am really looking forward to summer. But summers here in ...read more

    based on 16 ratings
     | 4,023 views

    But when you realize that it is God who can rise you up; you suddenly, find yourself ashamed and this could be the reason on why it is hard to be close to Him. You’re thinking that God is hard to convince.

    Theme: How to Convince God Text: Genesis 32: 22-31 Place: FBC Kodiak, Alaska Date: January 15, 2k6 Intro: Illus: Three handsome male dogs are walking down the street when they see a beautiful, enticing, female Poodle. The three male dogs fall all over ...read more

    Prayer-Works Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,495 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

    We continue today on our topic, “Learning to serve in a Service-less Age”, more specifically looking at “The refurbished Life”. God refurbishes our lives, in part, through “The Habit of Prayer”. I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more

    Why is the Bible so hard to understand? Why does there seem to be a disconnect between the Bible and reality? Why is the church out of touch with the world around it? The answer to all of these questions is simple, yet hard to stomach.

    As Christians, thanksgiving and praise should be the natural thing that comes from our mouth.

    Thanksgiving to the Glory of God Text: 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING It almost seems like Thanksgiving is becoming a “forgotten holiday”.

    Valuing The Giver Rather Than The Gift / Dependence Day

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 13, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,538 views

    The things in this world, even the things that we pray earnestly for, often end up distracting us from the Giver of the Gift.

    Dependence Day This morning we look at dependence on God, and identifying the difference between loving gifts, and loving and worshiping the Giver of All Good Gifts. Our Gospel lesson for this morning is a great lesson, in fact, for Thanksgiving Day services. As we examine it, we can see a nice ...read more

    The temptation to look where we shouldn’t look is hard for most men. What had Bathsheba done wrong? What had David done wrong? And how do we deal with ourselves and others who do those wrong things?

    OPEN: The true story is told of a banquet where a famous religious leader found himself seated next to an extremely beautiful woman who was wearing a gown with a perilously low neckline. Instead of becoming angry or embarrassed or pretending to be unaware of her exposure he offered her an apple. ...read more

    Abraham is such a great man of faith that at times its hard to relate to him. God knew that, so He told us few things about this super-hero of the faith that help us understand how powerful his faith really was.

    OPEN: A man once told a story about his 84 year old grandmother. Apparently, she fiercely maintained her independence and lived alone in the old family home. Her 4 children lived in the same town, but she rarely called them except in emergencies. It was with some apprehension, therefore, that he ...read more

    Why is it so hard for pastors to preach about giving? Why is it so hard for church members to hear about giving? Here are 3 reasons why preachers should NOT apologize for a sermon on giving - from a layperson!

    What is On Your Mind? One of the most intriguing challenges for anyone who steps behind one of these (pulpits) is trying to figure out what¡¦s going on in your minds.
