    The 3 Ingredients Of Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Chris Beam on Nov 2, 2014
     | 17,857 views

    However you decide to celebrate Thanksgiving, the fact remains that it’s a time for us to count our blessings. Scripture is very clear to us that every blessing in our life is a result of God’s provision…

    The 3 Ingredients of Thanksgiving (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) Thanksgiving is a very special time of the year. Traditionally, it’s a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. The worldly perspective of thanksgiving however has turned it into a time of gathering with ...read more

    God's Mercy For The Lost - The True Story Of A Man Lost At Sea

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Nov 11, 2014
     | 8,091 views

    Joe was alone in the Pacific ocean, ten miles from shore, without a life jacket, and worst of all, no one knew that he was overboard.

    I’ve known Joe for twelve years. Joe and his brother Dan own an appliance repair business and have kept our home appliance working for many years. It was unusual for Joe to attend prayer meeting, so I commented to Dan how nice it was to see Joe out on a Wednesday night. "I guess you heard ...read more

    Prayer - Praying Like Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 22, 2013
     | 3,495 views

    This is the 3rd talk in a series, and this week the focus is on learning to pray by paying attention to the Master Teacher himself, and by learning from him. Then, we actually need to learn by praying!

    Jesus said, “Your Father [in heaven] knows what you need before you ask him” (6:8). An elderly man was on his deathbed. He wasn’t afraid of dying or of death, but he was having trouble praying. When a pastor from the church visited him one day the old man told him about his ...read more

    Praying With Jesus: Hallowed Be Your Name Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 5,285 views

    God's name stands for him. When we pray for his name to be hallowed, 1) We are saying that he is the foundation of our lives, and 2) We are committing ourselves to show his holiness by our worship and actions in the world.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: Hallowed Be Your Name In Luke 11:1-2, we read, “One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ … He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name.”’ Jesus wants us to pray that ...read more

    Grace For The Despised

    Contributed by Jeff Hagan on May 27, 2017
     | 7,032 views

    True grace goes much deeper than we tend to think it does. We tend to reserve it for those who are already followers of Christ, however, Christ exercised grace, mercy, and love even to the most despised of sinners.

    Introduction: I’m sure most of you are familiar with the biblical account of a tiny little guy by the name of Zacchaeus. Well, far from just an entertaining story popular among Sunday School children, the incident with Zacchaeus gives us an incredible example of God’s grace and love. We see in ...read more

    Stony The Road We Trod:

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.

    It is that “slash” day again—as in Palm/Passion Sunday—as in trying to capture two seemingly distinct moods and experiences in one act of worship. It is almost impossible to do, it seems. If we lean toward the Palm Sunday experience and emphasize the exuberance of the triumphal entry into ...read more

     | 8,226 views

    Because of my mother's love for me, I made it

    As we honor our mothers it’s respectable for us to think about how much they really do for us. And let me just throw this in from the start, being a mother is not an easy task. It is said that when a child has reaches the age of 18, a mother has put in about 18,000 hours of child-generated work, so ...read more

    Work Hard Serving Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,136 views

    Christians are to display a willingness to be offended, disadvantaged, even abused without making a return, without requiring vengeance, without demanding an accounting – whether an apology, or punishment, or a repayment of some kind.

    Today’s Big Idea: God Works Diligently on Our Behalf. “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in ...read more

    Gehazi had to meet Elisha where he lied to Elisha, and God judged him by making him a leper. At that point Gehazi and Elisha separated for good. This sad, but important story has many lessons to teach us about our own deceitful natures.

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,735 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more
