    We get in shape for God as we learn to serve and be a servant to others.

    Before us this morning are three items: a watch, a billfold, and a Bible. The watch represents the time given to us each day. The billfold represents the financial resources that we earn or are given to us. The Bible represents the faith that we proclaim. Now, keeping in mind the meanings of these ...read more

    We please God when we follow God’s plan of salvation

    Last week I spoke of pleasing God and indicated that for some the word pleasing is a negative term due to life experiences. As I prepared for this morning, I determined to define the phrase pleasing God before we go further into this series because sometimes the same phrase or word has a different ...read more

    We please God when we read, believe, understand, and practice what the Bible says.

    Mark Twain once said, “Never learn to do anything. If you don’t learn, you will always find someone else to do it for you.” This week has been a week of learning for every single one of us. I spent parts of four days at a seminar in Indianapolis and by the second full day had a headache from the ...read more

    We please God as we allow God to make us “new creatures in Christ.”

    A few weeks ago I said, “We are always learning – formally and informally. We never stop learning something each and every day of our lives.” A key part of learning is thinking. One of the things that we do when we think is to create opinions about people, places, events, and even ourselves. We ...read more

    Have you ever tasted or smelled chlorine? It’s that wonderful smell we smell when we get near a swimming pool. It is designed to keep bacteria from growing in the pool and making us sick.

    We please God when we do our part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

    This morning I begin with what might be to some of us a loaded question that I am asking for you to verbally respond to: When you hear the words missionary or missions what do you think of? (Allow for responses) Thanks for your responses. Now can I ask you to think about the following statement ...read more

    We please God as we live in peace and harmony with each other.

    This morning I again begin with a question that I would like three volunteers to answer, “What has been the most peaceful and relaxing vacation or day away from home that you have ever had and why?” I wasn’t sure what we were going to hear this morning but I was fairly sure that “peace and ...read more

  • Why There Are Tears In Heaven

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 22, 2004
    based on 34 ratings
     | 14,232 views

    This sermon looks at the popular (but biblically inaccurate) idea that there are no tears in heaven right now.

    Often at funerals you will hear the pastor say: “There are no tears in heaven.” - This is one of those statements we make without any biblical justification because we are not careful with biblical promises. - This takes a biblical promise out of its historical context and applies it ...read more

  • How To Become A "Mary Worshiper"

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 1, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,237 views

    The Magnificat is an incredible moment of worshiping God. This sermon identifies 6 things we need to do, not to worship Mary, but to worship LIKE Mary.

    - Being a “Mary Worshiper” does not mean that we worship Mary, but that we worship like Mary. Becoming a “Mary Worshiper”: 1. “Mary worshipers” focus their eyes up, not in. - v. 46 - “magnifies the Lord.” - while there is certainly a need for reflection and self-examination in worship, the ...read more

    How do I love my enemy?

    In a recent column in Leadership Weekly, Gordon MacDonald, a retired pastor and editor at large for Leadership, a journal for pastors, reflected on a comment from Louis Berkhof who said, "God does not want us as objects but as covenant partners, partners who can converse. He desires our ...read more

    Questions about life and death

    Having just returned from 6 days of vacation that included three different hotels (and rides on 6 different roller coasters in two different amusement parks) I can relate to Stephan Brown’s comments about packing and unpacking while on vacation.

    based on 40 ratings
     | 5,867 views

    A look at the diffence between real revival and man-made "revival meetings."

    Starting Point: Revival only happens when the fire of God falls from heaven. - v. 38. - I didn’t know how exactly to share this passage, then it occurred to me that what’s in this passage serves as an example for us of a real revival. - too often, we call something a revival that isn’t really ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,394 views

    Why do we hold onto the good news of what Jesus has done for us instead of sharing it with others in need?

    The Path We’ve Trod: - each of these is both true of the lepers and of us in our spiritual pilgrimage. 1. Desperation leads to decision. - vv. 3-4. - they had nothing to lose/they just wanted to live. - they were sick, separated, and starving. 2. God does a miracle at the moment of ...read more
