How Christ Came To Be

Contributed by Michael Wiley on Dec 9, 2008

The celebration of Christmas has evolved over the years to what we know today. But, the coming of Christ was planned and implemented by God through history.

Chasing the Seed How Christmas came to be Michael Wiley December 07, 2008 Introduction: Christmas has been around, well, not as long as you think. The early church didn’t celebrate Christ’s birth, they celebrated His resurrection. The celebration of Christ’s birth in December came as a way to use ...read more

Part 2 - Genesis 22:1-11 - Lord, What Were You Thinking? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 6, 2010

Sacrificing a human life is not the point here, as horrific as it is, and as abhorrent to the Lord as it is. I can think of only two or three other valid reasons why God would ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son whom he loved, as a burnt offering, only

Part 2 - Genesis 22:1-11 - LORD, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? There’s plenty of evidence of blatant disregard for human life today. Terrorism and suicide bombers? Capital punishment? Human trafficking. Abortion? So what is God thinking when He asks Abraham to take his only son, the son he loves, and ...read more

Part 3 - Genesis 22:1-11 - When It Comes To The Crunch... Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 10, 2010

It is what happens in these intervening years before the "some time later..." that determines my destiny. It is those things appropriated and applied in the EVERYDAY that determine how I will respond to God when the crunch comes "some time later".

Part 3 - Genesis 22:1-11 - WHEN IT COMES TO THE CRUNCH... Day after day the drudgery of books had began to depress me. Don't misunderstand. I love reading books.

Jesus Is God And The Crowd Doesn't Like That Truth Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 7, 2025

Jesus has just declared that the Father and He are one, one in intention and one in mind and heart. The Jerusalem crowd that Jesus has been preaching to heard His words as blasphemy, and that offense carried the death penalty.

Friday of the Fifth Week in Lent 2025 Today’s Gospel reading from St. John continues the narrative we heard yesterday from an earlier chapter. You may recall that incident. Jesus declared that Abraham rejoiced to see the day of Jesus. Almost certainly that means the birth of Isaac and perhaps even ...read more

"Take Now"

Contributed by David Washburn on Nov 18, 2002

Hesitation often proves disastrous, but Abraham shows us how to "take now" in responding with obedience to God.

How many times a day do you receive the response, “Just a minute”? Perhaps you’ve asked your children to wash up and come to the dinner table or asked your spouse to lend you a hand or asked your mom or dad to read you a book or help with your homework. Many times we receive “Just a minute,” ...read more

Un Pozo Sentado Encima De Otro Pozo

Contributed by Craig Benner on Jan 26, 2012

Hay que entender la diferencia entre un pozo y una cisterna. Uno tiene la fuente de la solucion vital para su vida, y el otro es solamente un recepiente.

El Pozo sentado sobre un Pozo Jn. 4:6,7 6 y estaba allí el pozo de Jacob. Entonces Jesús, cansado del camino, se sentó así junto al pozo; y era como la hora sexta. 7 Y vino una mujer de Samaria a sacar agua; y Jesús le dijo: Dame de beber. Hay dos clases de pozos. 1.

Children Are Really Special 2 God

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 3, 2012

The sermon is a kickoff to our VBS with the same theme. The idea is that the characters of the bible were significant to God in their development before him. We used CAR names to remind us of certain bible characters.

1. A Car Ride Home After a baby dedication service for his baby brother in church, little Johnny sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong.

Riding The Fence Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 1, 2011

More times than we would probably like to admit, we slip into legalism. It can happen when God takes too long to answer a prayer, or answers in a way we don't expect. We take over the reigns, and it's a mistake!

To continue Paul’s arguments against legalism he turns again to a story in the Old Testament. This time it is the children that God promised to Abram. The issue is whether you let God fulfill His promise of righteousness in you, or whether you want to take the controls and do it yourself. ...read more
