    Since resolutions make us consider the future, the best New Year’s resolutions are the ones we’ll enjoy throughout eternity.

    December 28, 1997 INTRODUCTION A. You did it! You made it through another year. In a few days 1997 will be history. And a new year is right around the corner. A year full of possibility and opportunity. 12 months. 52 weeks. 365 days. 8760 hours. 525, 600 minutes and 31,536,000 ...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

    Seven Deadly Sins: Pride Series

    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

    Not Progressing Is Regressing

    Paul, Pt. 20

    NOT PROGRESSING IS REGRESSING (PHIL. 3:12-14) Time and tide waits for no man. Can you imagine using the typewriter to type your paper today? How about typing a dissertation over a hundred pages thick? Times were we had to use “white out” in liquid or paper form, embarrassingly leaving blotches ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 35,753 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

    The Gift That Keeps On Giving

    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. (Psalm 19:14) Henry Welles had an idea more than a century ago, an idea we ...read more

    God's Letter Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Oct 21, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 14,882 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
     | 6,238 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

    Controlling What Controls Us

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jan 27, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,723 views

    Part of preparing to celebrate Easter is examining ourselves, whether there is anything not of the new creation in us.

    I’d like to talk to you this evening about humility. Humility has been much misunderstood and, frankly, is quite unpopular today. We can say, “Pride cometh before the fall,” but to really live that out requires radical commitment—a lifestyle that the world is unable to ...read more

     | 8,444 views

    Here is a story that was not content sitting on the sidelines and watching life go by. Despite his obstacles, he got into the game.

    Getting Into The Game Of Life Mark 10:46-52 • “Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today! • “We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field. • “A-roundin’ third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man; • “Anyone can understand the way I feel. • “Oh, put me in, ...read more

    Contributed by Cameron Bottema on Nov 24, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,693 views

    God can use the ordinary things in our lives for His extraordinary purpose. Also, this is a great sermon to finish the spiritual gifts study with.

    Introduction: "When God is ready to do what seems to be the impossible He takes what appears to be the improbable and transforms it into the improvable." It has been said of the Church: "20% of the people do 80% of the work of the Church." It has also been said of the Church that: "20% of the ...read more

    The Secret Of Spiritual Strength

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 6, 2017
     | 13,745 views

    2 Chron. 16:9 gives a critical requirement for God's willingness to intervene: our full heart-commitment. King Asa is God's example for having it -- and NOT having it. The outcomes are striking and should make us sit up and take notice.

    THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH 2 Chron. 16:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE’LL BE THERE WAITING 1. A preacher who had suffered extremely strained relations with his congregation was finally appointed chaplain at the state prison. 2. Excited to be rid of him, the people of the congregation came ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,574 views

    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
