    Longing Into Living Faith In Action

    Contributed by Chris Surber on Jul 27, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,810 views

    This sermon is primarily about faith. It is about what faith is, a longing for something more than this world has to offer. It encourages people to turn that longing into faith and turn that faith into action.

    Longing for Something More, Hebrews 11:1 Introduction The story is told of a little boy whose family was very poor. He never complained because he had no toys and received no gifts at Christmas time; but he wished for them. He spent his spare time looking in the store windows at the pretty things ...read more

    Understanding The Times

    Overemphasis and ignorance of the end times will both lead to disaster; Christians must be wise about what is going on in this world, where things are going and what God has called us to now.

    Understanding the Times 1 Chr.12:32 - Tells us the men of Issachar, “understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” 
 Incorrect expectations result in dismay, failure, frustration, loss, fruitlesslness, etc. Not about doom and gloom but about correct Biblical perspective. ...read more

    Advent: God Will Deal With Evil

     | 5,998 views

    Zephaniah is a little read and a little known Old Testament Prophecy but it is an important message for the world and for the Church. God will deal with evil, and there will come a day when he will rejoice over us with singing!

    Five years ago I was invited to preach on this Bible passage at a service of ‘Evensong’ in Winchester Cathedral. When I was given the Bible passage (Zephaniah chapter 3) my first reaction was Zeph and what? I quickly realised there was a pun crying out to be used and so for a few days I tried it ...read more

    Rediscovering The Joy Of Christmas Series

    Christmas declares, “Joy to the world, the Lord has come.” God’s desire is that we would experience the good tidings of great joy proclaimed by the angels 2,000 years ago.

    REDISCOVERING THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS OPENING THOUGHT: Christmas… is it really the most wonderful time of the year? • Many people find this season stressful and depressing! ILLUSTRATION: Typical of last minute Christmas shoppers, a mother was running furiously from store to store. Suddenly she ...read more

    Isaiah’s words ring true today just as they did in Israel. It’s high time to rise up and let the light of Jesus Christ shine out into a world of darkness.

    Solomon knows the treacherous world that his son is about to encounter and he counsels him to guard his heart against all that would seek to lead him away from God.

    Guard Your Heart Proverbs 4:20-27 Today we will dive into the seventh lesson of Solomon given to his son to help him learn about the importance of wisdom for all of life. Last week, in lesson six, we heard about how important it is for us to stay on the path of wisdom and to avoid at all costs ...read more

    The Power Of Love

     | 7,401 views

    There is only one power at work in the last week of Jesus’ life - not Pilate’s, not the religious leaders’ - but the power of His love for the world. This power kept Him silent and drove Him to the cross.

    John 15:9-13 9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. ...read more

    Not Like Any Store I Know Series

    Contributed by Floyd Johnson on Nov 29, 2006
     | 2,840 views

    For the last three weeks we have compared the church to a store - a store getting ready for Christmas. But the church is not a store - it is a unique institution designed by God to share His grace with a broken world.

    Intro.: I need to apologize to you - I lied to you. 1.I told you that we would spend time looking how we might restock the store. 2.But it dawned on me during the week that if I did that, I was leaving he wrong impression. 3.It might sound as if the church were just another store – with a product ...read more

    Pride Goes Before A Fall Series

     | 9,587 views

    Seven sins have been identified by the church as "deadly." What sets these sins apart from thousands of others? How does the sin of Pride affect our lives and our world?

    Luke 12:13-21 “Pride Goes Before a Fall” INTRODUCTION Often times when we read the stories of the Bible we can see ourselves in the characters. We might identify with Peter who always seemed to speak before he thought. Or perhaps, the father of the boy with epilepsy who cried out, “I ...read more

    The Feast/The Excuses Series

     | 8,734 views

    There are many excuses for rejecting what God has to offer, and God sees through them all. If we’re full of the world we’ll have no appetite for Heaven.

    Today’s parable starts out as table-talk. At a dinner, Jesus mentions “the resurrection of the righteous”, an encouraging truth. Someone at the table gets so excited, he declares a Beatitude: “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the banquet in the Kingdom of God!” ...read more

    It is when I comprehend who I am, what my sin does to me and the world of which I am a part, that my heart breads before a holy and righteous God.

    “Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted.” Jesus begins this sermon by making it clear that God blesses only those who realize they are sinners, with nothing to bring to the table when it comes to their personal righteousness or eternal salvation (vs. 3). But He does ...read more

    *My grandfather, Olee Lee, was a share-cropper in Coward, SC. He was never rich or influential in the worlds eyes but his legacy lived on his daughter and in my father and now in me.

    In a certain village in Europe several centuries ago, a nobleman wondered what legacy he should leave to his townspeople. He decided to build a church for a legacy. The completed plans for the church were kept secret. When the people gathered, they marveled at the church’s beauty and ...read more

    When the world is falling apart, and God’s judgments begin to fall, God is our refuge, our very present help in time of need. Whom, or what, shall we fear?

    God is Our Refuge Psalms 46 By Pastor Jim May This 46th Psalm is a song of encouragement and a song of praise unto the Lord for his ever present help to Israel in her times of distress. After the messages last Sunday morning, and the one this morning, I felt that it would be good to hear some ...read more

    Living Like An Alien

     | 6,815 views

    Using Judah in the Old Testament as an example, this message explains how God's people are to live as "aliens" in this world while we await the return of Christ and eternity in our true, eternal kingdom.

    INTRODUCTION * A hot topic in politics: illegal immigration = “aliens” - a resident born in or belonging to another country - a foreigner; unlike one’s own / strange or difference * We, as God’s people, are aliens in a spiritual sense (not new: the people of God in the OT ...read more
