    A sermon examining the work that God does in the lives of His people.

    WHEN THE LORD STIRS HIS PEOPLE Haggai 1:11-15 You have all heard the idiom "stirring up a hornet's nest". This means to do something that causes a lot of trouble, controversy, or difficulty. It wasn’t a hornet’s nest, but on Friday I stirred up a yellow jacket’s nest and I am still ...read more

     | 4,393 views

    Matthew 5:6 is an essential element of being a follower of Jesus Christ. It is as non-negotiable as faith in Christ (5:3), repenting of sin (5:4), and submitting to God’s will (5:5) which is basically what He’s talked about thus far.

    An Involved Community Series

    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,078 views

    If we live by the Spirit, it wil change how we live as part of the community of God’s people. We’ll care for one another, care for God’s ministers, never weary in doing good, and keep our focus clear.

    Since we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. That’s Paul’s summary statement at the end of ch 5. We’ve spent all this time talking about how our salvation comes through the grace of God alone, how it’s faith alone that’s needed for us to be right with God, how nothing we can do ...read more

    Don't Excuse Yourself From God's Banquet Of Salvation

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003
    based on 68 ratings
     | 8,167 views

    In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

    “Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more

    How To Love The Father More Than The World

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 25, 2005
    based on 38 ratings
     | 5,067 views

    The following is a list of twenty five things that often crowd out our love for the Father. Since Jesus told us to watch and pray that we enter not in to temptation. It is a good idea to know what competes for our greatest passion.

    How to Love the Father More than the World Marks of Worldliness (I John 2:15-18) What are the various ways that people subtly love the world more than we show love for our heavenly Father? Perhaps it could be summarized in the word preoccupation. Illustration: CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An 86-year-old ...read more

    Considering Christ’s description of the cost of discipleship.

    “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 WHAT DOES OUR WALK SAY ABOUT US? This is a word from Jesus about the importance of commitment. Hand refers to our spiritual motivation. Because of the hand’s ability to seize, control or ...read more

    In the face of a war against evil do we have our lives in order?

    2 Corinthians 13:5-9 I have heard news commentators and writers talk about how recent events have caused them to stop and reflect on life. Many have suggested that they have looked at their priorities to see if they have had them out of order. Many of us probably could admit that our priorities ...read more

    For Christ the King Sunday and in support of international missions: using a metaphor of a complex intersection, we are to give, teach, heal and share as the four corners of our Christian life.

    May I introduce you to my neighborhood? For two months now I have been burning up the Beltway and 270 coming up to your place two or three times a week.

    Faithful Christians must make a commitment to the Lord’s Day. I used this as a New Year’s sermon.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin this morning with a few quotes for the New Year. 1. “A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other,” Author Unknown. Certainly pessimistic, but often true. 2. “Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each ...read more

    I John 2:12-14 gives three levels of spiritual maturity, “Children, Young Men, and Fathers.”

    “Spiritual Fathers” I John 2:12-14 Today we honor fathers. One thing that helps us as parents is not to take life or our children too seriously. Having lots of humor keep us on track. A father was reading Bible stores to his young son. He read, “The man named Lot was warned to take his wife ...read more

    God Gives Us Grace And Much More. But Is It Enough?

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Apr 22, 2014
     | 6,023 views

    Every follower of Jesus has to make the choice to use the gifts God gives and believe they are enough, or ignore them.

    Jesus tells a story about a small business owner. In this story the owner of a vineyard employs some day laborers early in the morning. They agreed to work for a days wage. Later in the day the owner noticed some unemployed folks and asked them if they wanted a job for the day, and they agreed ...read more
