Mark 6:30-44 “Motives and Means of Ministry” By: Rev. Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN As we look at our Scripture passage for this morning, one thing which is apparent is that ministry is not necessarily convenient.

Action And Reaction

Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008

Davids Big Flaw

Contributed by Art Campbell on Sep 5, 2007

David was a successful man - a warrior, poet and king. Yet he had one major flaw that was almost his undoing - his children. This message contrasts David’s great success with his great heartache.

One of my favourite Bible heroes is King David. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the story of David and Goliath, the boy who bested a giant. But there’s a lot more to David’s life than this story. In many ways he’s the kind of man that many of us guys would like to be. David was marked out for ...read more

Genesis verse-by-verse

Proverbs 2

“Treasure Hunting” Proverbs 2 Intro: The Bible is an amazing book. We so often treat it as a textbook, merely teaching academic truth--when what it really is is a children’s "pop-up" book, showing us glimpses into the very heart and soul of those we find mentioned there.

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Sep 26, 2005

Some of the saddest words heard when at a visitation or funeral. We already have enough how can we get rid of ones we have or hold down the number in the future.
