    It is time for the Church to arise in the mist of the dark world of sin and shine for the glory of Christ.

    “GET UP AND GLOW” Intro: I believe that every church ought to have a vision and mission of what they feel that God would have them to do in reaching out to their area with the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    This is about David’s affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

    Have you ever heard someone say, “Oh, the Bible is so boring. It’s just a bunch of ‘begets’ and ‘begots’ and a bunch of stuff that happen thousands of years ago”? Our passage today certainly cannot be considered boring. We have a sex scandal at the highest levels of government. There are ...read more

    Laying Up Treasures

    Contributed by Paul George on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,390 views

    A preoccupation with hoarding earthly treasure makes little practical sense. Eternal investments, investments in the kingdom of heaven, are far more profitable. They are certain, and the benefits long lasting. Earthly investments are short-lived.

    Laying up Treasures Matthew 6:19-34 The Lord Jesus told the disciples, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,372 views

    There is no doubt that the early church needed a wake-up call. So Peter was chosen to get it, and to be the point man for the inclusion of the Gentiles into the church of Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 10:9-23 Intro: It’s amazing how often in Scripture God’s entire plan hangs on one person. 1. Noah chosen to build the ark 2. Abraham called to believe. 3. Joseph tested and approved. 4. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for sins 5. Now Peter, being challenged to turn from his ...read more

    A sermon based on Matthew 8:28-34 (and other gospels) about the Gadarene Demoniacs. Sermon asks the question of why the whole city wanted Jesus to leave their region.

    Sermon for 1/29/2006 Introduction: Seinfeld episode where George breaks up with his girlfriend "It’s not you, it’s me." ~George. Before George can say his line, his girlfriend beats him to the line. "If it’s anybody, it’s me." I get this in our text. They don’t threaten Jesus with His life. ...read more

    Grow Up, Christian! 1) Cry more; 2) Rely more Mature children of God don’t run less to God, they run to God more...

    “Grow up!” Did anyone say that to you this week? If so, why? My parents often told me to grow up when I became frustrated and started crying about something I should have been able to do by myself like tie my shoes or zip up my jacket. Parents regularly tell their children to grow up because they ...read more

    Train Up A Child

    Contributed by Rodney Burton on May 23, 2009

     | 9,691 views

    In this Mother’s Day sermon, we view the concept of TRAIN up a child. What exactly goes into that process?

    Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverb 22:6 “Train” in the Hebrew is chanak (khaw-nak’) and appears 5 times. Once here it is translated as train or train up. The other 4 times it is translated as dedicate. This is the Hebrew word used to ...read more

    Some people will believe early, some later. We are to remain faithful in praying for and witnessing to those who have not believed in Jesus.

    Ill. Persistence * Proverbs 3:5-6 basically says “Trust in God, Stop trying to fit God into your logic. Just look for His hand around you, and then that Hand will guide you.” * But I say, “Lord, that is how I try to live, but…” * What about those we are praying for?
