God’s Idea Of Church Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 2, 2011

Church Consultants probably wouldn’t have started a church like God did... but His worked. How can we do Church today like He did back then?

How many of you have ever read the magazine called “Reminisce”? Several years ago there was an article in that magazine by a woman who told of her father having returned from the war.

We Are The Church Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 16, 2011

Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more

The Devil Wears Prada Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 6, 2012

A commercial we watched for Prada didn’t try to sell clothes or accessories. It’s intent was to sell an "image". Satan’s the same - his goal is to sell us an "image". But what does he try to sell us on, and how can we avoid being snared by his sales pitch

OPEN: The minister’s group I’m part of came up with this title: The Devil Wears Prada. It was based on a movie by that same name (and I found out later there was a Rock group that same name).

On The Catwalk Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 13, 2012

The catwalk is a tool that fashion houses use to display their best products. And II Corinthians tells us that God has His own kind of "catwalk" that he leads us down in "triumphal procession." Why is God "showing us off" like this? And what is He selling

OPEN: (We opened the sermon with about 30 seconds of a video showing a group of modestly dressed models walking down a catwalk at a fashion show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHPq4nMA2ZI) (Then we switched to a youtube video of a veteran fashion model describing the purpose of the catwalk in ...read more

Top Models Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 20, 2012

There are lots of bad role models in this world . But Jesus called us to be role models of His way of life for others. So, how do I become the kind of role model he wants me to be and how can I make a difference in the lives of others?

OPEN: We played a youtube video that gave a lighthearted view of fashion since 1911: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JxfgId3XTs That video displayed the changes of style and fashion that have taken place over the years.

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 28, 2012

A fashion supermodel is a woman who looks good, dresses good, and walks good. But God sets before a super models of faith that are more than just pretty faces and are known less for what they wore than for what they did. What can we learn from these model

OPEN: On the screen you’ll see the pictures of various famous attractive women (Twiggy, Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, Lauren Hutton, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum). They’re models. But they’re more than models… they are ...read more

In The Valley Of Praise Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 19, 2007

Jehoshaphat and Judah should not have won this battle... under ordinary circumstances. How did they prepare to be used by God in this momentous confrontation?

OPEN: (We played Don Francisco’s Song "Jehoshaphat" after reading the text... it’s worth buying his CD just for personal enjoyment) One of the oldest books on warfare was written by Sun Tzu.

You Gonna Fish? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 26, 2007

Up until this "fishing trip" with Jesus, Peter has only had a casual relationship with Christ. On this day, Jesus challenged him with the question: "Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna fish?"

OPEN: There’s an old joke about two fishermen out in a boat. The day was calm and the lake was isolated enough that they were the only fishermen there. The first man baited his hook, threw it into the water and watched the bobber bob on the waves. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion just a ...read more

Getting The Right Gift For Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2007

There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more
