    You Can Go Home Again

    Contributed by Chris Johnson on Oct 24, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,562 views

    The saying "You can’t go home again" is not true when speaking spiritually.

    There is a saying: “You can’t go back home again.” But in this parable Jesus tells us of a young man who did indeed go home. After a long and grueling absence from his father he finally made his way homeward. You too can come back home—no matter how long you’ve been away; no matter how far down ...read more

    Turn Up The Heat

    based on 76 ratings
     | 8,169 views

    The side of God that many ignore or pretend not to know.

    Turn up the Heat I was thinking the other day about the way people think of God and I received a message which is quite strong. I say that it is quite strong because we all have an idea or concept of how God is. We all have the concept that He is willing to forgive us, and that He always has His ...read more

    God's Letter Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Oct 21, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 14,528 views

    This sermon relies heavily on a visual illustration. It is based on the passage in 2 Cor. 3 which says we are letters from God. It calls for serious dedication to living for Christ.

    ______________________________________________________ NOTE: This sermon relies heavily upon a visual illustration. It’s based on Paul’s statement that we are a ’letter from Christ’. Here is a description of the visual I made for this lesson: Before the sermon, I prepared a manilla envelope, ...read more

    The Enigma Of Humanity Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 28, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,108 views

    Humanity is at the same time insignificant and the pinnacle of God’s work of creation

    The danger with a series of sermons on the theology of humanity, the danger of thinking about who we are, what we’re here for, what it means to be human, is that it could, very easily, turn into just another exercise in humanism. We could spend our time thinking about all the great things human ...read more

     | 4,240 views

    Pentecost did not begin with a roomful of disciples in the third decade of the first century; it was made complete through them by the same God who introduced it 1,500 years before.

    (Other passage: 1 Corinthians 12:4-13) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.

     | 35,243 views

    This is in my opinion a very challenging task (not impossible). How do we carry out the demanding responsibility of raising a family in the world in which we live today?

    STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY IN TODAY’S SOCIETY Given on Saturday, 14 June 2008 For 1st Annual Family Life Conference At Shiloh Baptist Church Waukegan, Illinois I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sister Loretta Henton and the Mission Department for this awesome opportunity to speak at the ...read more

    Chaos And Control - Positive Perspective Or Faith Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jul 29, 2008
    based on 20 ratings
     | 11,589 views

    Where does a positive perspective end and faith begin? Faith is not simply hoping that things will work out someday. If a positive perspective is what brings me success, then why do I need God?

    A rabbi was at odds with his congregation. The president of the synagogue said, ”Rabbi, we must have a conference to settle this dispute once and for all.” So the rabbi, the president an the ten elders met together to discuss the issue – but the rabbi soon discovered that he was the sole dissenting ...read more

    What might happen if our church were to follow the Starbucks example and temporarily close its doors to examine the way we follow Jesus?

    Starbucks Opens A new Starbucks has opened, of all places, at St. Rita’s Medical Center. We had never tasted Starbucks coffee, so last Wednesday we stopped in to see what it was like. With all the flavors and sizes and prices up on the board, it wasn’t easy to decide what we would order ...read more

    Discusses the sin of Pride

    The Seven Deadly Sins Introduction It has been said time and time again “sin creates a desire to sin”. I have found this to be a very true statement. When I think of the lies that I told as a child, if I got away with the first lie, then it became easier and easier to keep lying. It was only ...read more

    An eye opening look at faith as it was meant to be, not what the church has made it today... FAITH is not about you.

    The Search for Faith This morning I want to talk about faith. The subject of faith has been preached on, written about, study guides offered, instructional series presented and on and on… the topic has an exhaustive amount of research and teaching on it…why? Because we as Christians understand ...read more

    The central theme of the church in the preaching of the message of the gospel, the cross of Christ. We are losing that message.
