Tag, You're It

Contributed by Everett Mccoy on Jul 19, 2008

Are You Ready For Persecution?

Contributed by David Mcnally on Aug 12, 2012

Christians were persecuted by the Jews, then by the Romans, and by the Nazis and the Communists, and by fundamentalist Muslims and others today. Why should we in the West or US, Canada, Autsralia or New Zealand be excused from suffering for our faith?

Gospel reading: Luke 21: 5-19 Sermon: Persecution May the words of my mouth ....... In the Gospels Jesus is recorded as saying some lovely things, that we are loved, that we are forgiven, that we are his friends, but in today's Gospel reading, his words are far from lovely.

God Calling- Answer The Phone

Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Apr 16, 2013

God calls us in many ways and we need to listen for His voice.

Listen...to your life... and you'll hear the BAT QOL- the voice of God. You will hear our Lord's voice, comforting, challenging, and calling you to lose yourself in the Master's service. Indeed, unless we "leave our nets" and follow Him, it's hard to see how we can call ourselves Christian. ...read more

Our Attitude Toward The Wandering Sheep

We can very easily get very judgmental of the wandering sheep. These people make bad choices and get into trouble. But let's see how the Great Shepherd views these wanderers.

Wisdoms Bypaths Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 7, 2016

As we confront evil, foolishness, and moral chaos, we need wisdom and some guidance to help us confront battle fatigue or the temptation to sin in less obvious ways because of wrongdoing.

Wisdom’s Bypaths (Proverbs 24:13-18) 1. A not-so-bright road worker was hired to paint the line down the center of street. The first day he managed to paint 2 miles, and his boss was very pleased.

When People Turn Away

Why All The Hate Among Ourselves? Why The Disunity And Lack Of Support For Each Other?

Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Jul 3, 2024

The sign that we have to show that we are Christians is love. If we love one another, then the world will know that we are Christians. It is shocking to see the disunity among ourselves. The hate we display to one another even as unbelievers watch and wonder.

Many Christians are disturbed by the hate that is being witnessed against people who publicly declare their faith in JESUS CHRIST. In fact JESUS HIMSELF told us that as things escalate one of the signs of the end times is that we will be handed over for death by even our own relatives. Truly, ...read more

So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

Contributed by Steven Cordle on Mar 28, 2025

Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

The biblical answer for Anxiety. Seek first God’s Kingdom. Be anxious for nothing by being prayerful about everything.

Intro: How many of you woke up today and said to yourself, “Today self I think I will have a hot cup of anxiety, some fried anxiety as well as a piece of toasted anxiety.” Well of course probably none of you!
