    A New look into what thanksgiving means.

    This season of thanksgiving is often overshadowed by a violent history, or the biggest shopping day of the year, or an overcooked turkey. I want to take this time not to ask you what your thankful for but what tangible and intangible product are you giving to someone else. How are you being used as ...read more

    The Power Of Thanksgiving

    This sermon stresses the benefits of thanksgiving in our day to day lives and unveils what the bible has to say about seeing our troubles from the proper perspective.

    I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving… It has always been so strange to me how Thanksgiving has changed since its original conception—even from when I was a kid. For instance, how ironic is it that the very day after Thanksgiving just happens to be the biggest shopping day of the year! Think about ...read more

    The Ultimate Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 17, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,786 views

    November 1989: We are at bottom grateful for spiritual values rather than material ones. Ultimate thanksgiving will be to sing praises in a global community and in recognition of our deliverance.

    On the surface, Thanksgiving seems like a holiday designed to celebrate the American experience of material fulfillment. On the surface, at least, it would appear that what we do at Thanksgiving is to celebrate our wealth, our material prosperity, and our achievements. We indulge in an orgy of ...read more

    Broken Christmas?!

    In Matthew 1 we read about the first Christmas, a story that begins in brokeness and ends in hope and promise. Just like our stories because of Christ’s grace and mercy!

    Sermon 122409 Christmas Eve Stone her to death! The thought popped into his head, but it didn’t last long. He could have said it out loud, he could have shouted it. It was his right to call for it after all. It was written right there in the 5th Book of Moses. Right in Deuteronomy. Obviously ...read more

    I have never before prepared a sermon with three main points quite like the ones you’ll hear today. My first will be, “Was it only a lucky coincidence?” My second, “Wow!” And my third, “What a mighty God!”

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Psalm 91:1-16; Romans 8:28 Realistically I realize that this message today could be the last message I will ever preach.

    The word always means “at all times, invariably, forever, all the time on every occasion. As believers there are three things that are “always” to be part of our lives and actions. We are to be always joyful, always thankful, and always prayerful.

    Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.

    This sermon needs a disclaimer and it doesn’t need to be one of those bits of legalese that we see in 6 point type in a print ad, appears briefly in barely legible type at the bottom of a television screen, or is read as rapidly as possible by a radio announcer: “Offer listed is manufacturer’s ...read more
