    based on 638 ratings
     | 88,936 views

    Christian fathers should be honored and appreciated.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A small boy said, "Father’s Day is just like Mother’s Day, only you don’t spend as much on the gift." And I say, "What gift?" ILL.- Mark Twain said, "When I was a boy of 14 my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to the 21, I was ...read more

    An exhortation to pastors.

    A meeting that I had in the doctor’s office while I was receiving my vitamin I.V. inspired tonight’s message. There are a lot of folks that come into his office that are open about their faith. A lady receiving her first ever I.V. was sitting across from me. I found out after she left that she ...read more

    The Loveliest Lynchee Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 4, 2001
    based on 69 ratings
     | 9,954 views

    The poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks, recently deceased African-American poet, illustrates how a commitment to justice begins with hope, turns to a sense of responsiblity, rises to act, but also acknowledges the depth of human sin.

    The dateline was to be Little Rock, Arkansas, September 1957. The story was to be about the vicious hatred of a city whose people were resisting justice and terrifying school children. Little Rock, Arkansas, where Governor Orval Faubus had become the symbol of massive resistance, and where an ...read more

    Christians should be good citizens.

    BE GOOD CITIZENS Titus 3:1-2 INTRO.- ILL.- A girl went into a Chinese restaurant in Chicago and told Wing Foo Sam, a waiter, that she wanted an order of chow mein to take out. She said she wanted a first-class order because, as she explained, “it’s for a mighty nice chap.” Wing Foo Sam brought ...read more

    I'm Not Perfect, But ... Series

    based on 95 ratings
     | 43,017 views

    We justify not being mature by claiming that we are just like everyone else, or that we are at least working on that goal. But our example is Jesus, who gathers up our incompleteness into Himself and shows us the way to mature.

    When I first announced the title of this message, “I’m Not Perfect”, somebody was sharp enough to reply, “Yes, we’ve noticed, we’ve noticed.” Well, thanks a heap! Don’t you know by now that when I say something self-deprecating, you are supposed to shower me with compliments and bathe me in ...read more

    You Missed The Point Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,199 views

    Like Josiah’s sorry sons, we have missed the point of our fathers’ messages about the value of Scripture, the worth of the church, and the meaning of the work ethic.

    Why is it that on Mother’s Day we honor our mothers, we talk of saintly moms who worked their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sew for us? But on Father’s Day we scold the dads! Why is that? Have you noticed? We honor mothers for their industry, their wisdom, their prayer life, and ...read more

    The Man's Role In Society

    Contributed by Clinton Smith on Mar 4, 2008
    based on 17 ratings
     | 74,998 views

    The sermon was written to call us to repentance for missing for so long, restore us to the place of godly leadership and stability, and encourage us to hang in there even when the going gets tough.

    The society in which we live has neglected to teach men about their role in the home, in the church, and society. The worldly view of a man’s role is that he should provide financially for his family, but we shouldn’t expect him to be very engaged with home life. In spite of all our talk of ...read more

    The Ministry And Meaning Of Friendship Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,315 views

    We have a fundamental need and desire to be in relationship to other people. God knew that and so God gives us the gift of companionship and help from each other. You and I were created for relationship with each other.

    The Ministry and Meaning of Friendship Genesis 2:18, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, John 15:1 David W. Smith writes Chuck had been perhaps the most hard-working salesman in his company’s history. He usually spent 65 to 75 hours a week at the office when he wasn’t traveling. And when he was on the road ...read more

    God And Hurting Persons

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,584 views

    God has always expressed care for those who hurt; it’s nothing new. But Jesus extended that care to those not like His listeners, and His church is intended to reach the marginal.

    This week, while the rest of you were surfing the Internet reading Ken Starr’s report, I was reading my favorite form of literature. I was reading "church bulletin bloopers." Church bulletin bloopers are those funny little errors that creep into church bulletins, maybe because the typist didn’t ...read more

    Marked Men

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2009
     | 5,387 views

    Cain’s problem is ours: we are fearful and anxious if someone else seems to be getting ahead of us, and our anxiety is the root of our violence. But in God’s curse there is a mercy and a clue for brotherliness.

    For today’s message we are going back to the earliest moments in human history to look at one of the most basic issues in human life. We are looking at the way we feel about differences, and what we do about that feeling. The Book of Genesis, in its opening stories, teaches us about what it means ...read more

    Paul And Anania: From Goodness To Going

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 25, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,071 views

    God’s call is for those of us who think that looking good is sufficient to go share the Gospel; and to those who are discipled to be alert to the potential in those whom God has placed in our paths.

    I heard this week about a very, very special automobile. It was built in the 1920’s by the Italian manufacturer Bugatti, and it was designed to be sold to the outrageously wealthy. This car was equipped with 450 horses under the hood; it was some 22 feet long and weighed about 6000 pounds. It was ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,227 views

    If we will learn to focus on the Lord instead of our circumstances, we will find many reasons to rejoice! Mary recognized the character and faithfulness of God which prompted her praise.

    Reasons to Rejoice! [Background to Mary’s Praise] Luke 1:26-45 26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David.
