Lost At Home Series

Contributed by Eric Carey-Holt on Mar 7, 2003

There are millions like this today in Christian homes -- many even in our own churches. We have raised them in our Christian homes. We have taught them the Scriptures as best we knew how.

SERMON—LOST AT HOME—LUKE 15: 8-10 The parables of our Lord are remarkable stories, which he so wonderfully told on many different occasions. They intrigue and challenge us for they always have an element of mystery about them; they constitute a delightful, tantalizing challenge to us to discover ...read more

In The Footsteps Of Thomas

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Jan 30, 2004

Last Words

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Apr 28, 2004

The last words that any person speaks are important. Peter spends his letting us know the wonders of what we have in Christ, and implying that we can use what we have, or ignore it.

Passage: 2 Peter 1:1-4 Intro: The last words that people speak are powerful, memorable. Il) Sir Francis Newport, the head of an English club for nonbelievers, said this to those gathered around his dying bed: “You need not tell me there is not God for I know there is one, and that I am ...read more

Where's God?

Contributed by Rich Cook on Jun 28, 2005

There will always be times where we’d like to know where God is and why isn’t He paying attention. We have to believe, however, and have faith that he is always watching and always in control.

Where’s God? Purpose: To encourage us that God is there 1. I would ask if you’d ever asked the question, "Where’s God?" But anyone who has a few years of adulthood under his belt has asked that question. So I’ll challenge you, this morning, to think of a time in your life when you asked, "Where’s ...read more

Friendship

It has been said that if you have one true friend in your life you are lucky. This morning the Lord is going to teach us about FRIENDSHIP and HOW WE CAN HAVE SOME TRUE FRIENDS!

Everybody needs true friendship. There is a real hunger for it. The problem is finding the time to create real friends. It takes time and effort to make friends.

The Transfiguration And The Second Coming Series

Contributed by James O. Davis on Oct 28, 2003

Even though we have read the record of the Transfiguration many times, I feel we have not fully understood that it is a prophetic preview of the Second Coming of Jesus. The Transfiguration was actually a glimpse of Glory and a foretaste of the future.

The Gifts Go On

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Jan 28, 2001

We will explore what Paul teaches about spiritual gifts. I think a great deal of controversy could have been avoided on this topic if people would have simply studied this a little more closely.

Church conflicts happen for pretty unusual reasons. In the 1890s there was a small Baptist church in Mayfield County, Kentucky. The church had just two deacons, and those two men seemed to be constantly arguing and bickering with each other. On a particular Sunday, one deacon put up a small wooden ...read more

The Secret For More Is Less Series

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on May 30, 2007

To be poor in spirit means one is aware that he has less, not more, that he has to admit that he has less to have more and that he has to accept that he can only have more with God.

There was an old woman begging in a street corner. A passer-by took pity on her. He was about to give when he noticed that she’s holding two cans. When he asked why, she answered, “Well, business is so good that I opened a new branch.” Seriously, I remember watching an episode of Imbestigador[1] ...read more

Friendly Fire - When Church Hurts

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 4, 2008

People are going to church seeking something only to be hurt by the religiosity of a religious system. When you have been hurt in the church what must you do. I have been attacked by friendly fire.

What If This Is As Good As It Gets?

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 11, 2007

We have to ask ourselves, as believers, if what we are experiencing in Christianity is really all that Jesus promised us. There has to be more, we have been promised more, but it will never happen if sin is rampant in the church.

Is there more to Christianity? Does God have more in store for us than church on Sunday morning and getting to heaven? I believe that the fulfilled life that Jesus spoke about is more than what we’re experiencing most weeks in the local church. People are often fearful, downtrodden and spending ...read more

Christian Citizenship
