    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012
     | 5,942 views

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    Contributed by Howard Gunter on Nov 12, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,277 views

    How we use our gifts are more important than their monetary value. It isn't the size of the gift, it's the motive in the giving!

    Not Our Talents BUT Our Use of Talents Matthew 25:14-30 This parable provides us with a message that can be and often is misunderstood. The talents referred to in the parable are monetary units. A talent was not really a coin at all but rather an ingot, weighing around 75 pounds. At that weight ...read more

    To give your Christian testimony, keep answering these four questions: 1. Who are you? (vs. 19-23). 2. Why do you do the things you do? (vs. 24-27). 3. Who is Jesus Christ? (vs. 28-30). 4. How did you get to where you are? (vs. 31-34).

    Our Story about Our Savior The Gospel of John John 1:19-34 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - April 13, 2016 (Revised June 16, 2019) *Do you have a Christian testimony?

    Jesus teaches us that God is our protector, not a bully, and we can learn to hear His voice through scripture, prayer, and recognizing His accent of kindness and compassion.

    Hey guys! Today, I want to talk about something we all experience - those annoying songs that get stuck in our heads, you know, earworms! Does anyone have a song that always gets stuck in their head? (Share your own and go around the room to see what the students say). You know, the only way to get ...read more

    A look at the arrest, trial, torture and resurrection of Christ

    The images of Mel Gibson’s film are still fresh in my mind. I can see him being arrested in the Garden. I can see his trial and the brutal beating. I can see the crucifixion. And I can see the final scene as Jesus walked triumphantly from the tomb. It was a movie that has profoundly impacted ...read more

    Just as an arrow is only as good as the bow that shoots it, so children are only as good as the parents that raise them. That is…parents that really care, parents that really invest in their children’s lives!

    “For The Love of Our Children” Psalm 127:3, 4 Just as an arrow is only as good as the bow that shoots it, so children are only as good as the parents that raise them.

    Shooting Our Wounded

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,698 views

    We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

    I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

    There are only five more sleeps until Christmas! Children, I bet you can’t wait. Adults, I bet you wish there was more time so that you can finish everything on your Christmas to-do list. “Ugh. Don’t remind me, Pastor.

    Many of us are perplexed of the evils around us. Doesn’t God care anymore? Take heart! God has the sovereign control of every event. Every incident is always in line to what He has in mind.

    Theme: OUR SOVEREIGN GOD Daniel 1:1-7 Intro. A. Looking at the evils happening around us, we would be tempted to think that the Devil and his evil forces had won the world over God. The evils and the ills we have seen seem to be beyond remedy, and God seems to have no concern any longer. It seems ...read more

    When Jesus came into the Word, His birth was not an ordianry birth, but a very unique birth. We will examine what was so special about His birth

    “The Birth of our King” Introduction: I heard of a man reading the story of Jesus’ birth to some day-care children one morning. As usual he stopped to see if they understood. "What do we call the three wise men?" he asked. "The three maggots," replied a bright 5-year-old. "What gift did the Magi ...read more

     | 6,504 views

    I would bet that the disciples, when Jesus was off praying by himself, would discuss among themselves whether all this was worth it. Have we been scammed? I bet they had some buyer’s remorse. Some anxiety. Some uncertainty about their choice. I would!!

    This is the opening message in a series covering Galatians

    Mark Twain wrote on Puddinhead Wilson’s calendar this thought: Behold the fool saith, "Put not all thine eggs in one basket,"…but the wise man saith, "Put all your eggs in the one basket and watch that basket."
