  • "I've Got To Have One Of Those!" - Facing Our Greedy Hearts

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,491 views

    This message looks at Jesus’ words about materialism, possessions, and greed in one section of the Sermon on the Mount.

    Facing Our Greedy Hearts: 1. Insecure investments make for worried minds. - v. 19. - 1 Peter 1:3-6; 1 Corinthians 3:12-15. - We’re not just talking about a situation like hiding your cash under the mattress. Even when you put it in a bank with FDIC insurance, currency value can still plummet. ...read more

    based on 114 ratings
     | 11,205 views

    This message analyzes the things that we say to justify giving in to temptation and then looks at the biblical truth on each issue.

    Five Lies That Open The Door For Temptation’s Trap: 1. “It couldn’t happen to me.” - v. 12. - Often we are the most vulnerable when we believe we are the strongest. We don’t take the proper precautions against sin and soon we find ourselves deeper into a mess than we ever imagined we would ...read more

  • The Great Adventure: "Saddle Up Your Horses" Series

    Contributed by Jim Black on Jul 12, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,511 views

    When called to go, Abraham obeyed and went. As God calls us into his glorious kingdom, he invites us to a life full of challenge, surprise and adventure!

    I have to be honest with you… when I was a kid I had a really wrong-headed idea of what the Christian faith was all about. I thought that being a Christian meant giving up a life of fun & excitement in order to come, sit on a pew and be a good boy. • I’m not sure where that notion came from… maybe ...read more

  • The Great Adventure: "Stand Against The Tide!" Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,653 views

    Noah stood against the culture of his day and was counted faithful. Christians are called to an exciting, challenging and different way of life… not to conform to the world.

    We want to continue that excitement this morning as we delve back into our summer series, “The Great Adventure!” The Christian life is supposed to a great and exciting adventure! • Now, we don’t often talk about faith in those terms… • When we truly and honestly give ourselves to God and place our ...read more

  • The Great Adventure: "Sound The Battle Cry!" Series

    Contributed by Jim Black on Jul 24, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,705 views

    Just as God called Joshua to lead the nation of Israel into battle, Christians are called into a spiritual battle, not against the people of the world, but the spiritual forces of evil which control the world. Cf. Eph. 6

    Children sing—“I’m in the Lord’s Army!” Our children keep things exciting around here! We’re continuing what I hope is an exciting Bible study series, “The Great Adventure!” The Christian life ought to be a great adventure! • If you’re bored in your Christian walk… its NOT God’s fault! I ...read more

  • The Great Adventure: "Sail Into The Unknown!" Series

    Contributed by Jim Black on Aug 3, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,557 views

    Christians are called to sail into the unknown, making disciples, like Jonah...but sometimes we try to go our own way and create all kinds of problems.

    Can anybody finish this sentence… “In 1492, Columbus sailed the _______ “? • That’s how I’ve always remembered the story of Columbus… now here’s a great adventurer! In a day when nobody believed that the Earth was round, Columbus had this crazy idea that to get to India he would sail off in the ...read more

  • A Small Idea To Help Make You Big In Generosity

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 9, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,180 views

    Paul’s call here for the Corinthians to give generously provides a great idea for us to expand our giving.

    A Small Idea: “Set up a Generosity Fund.” - v. 2. - This passage is not about tithing to your church. It’s about a specific need in a specific church and the Corinthians choosing to give to help meet that need. Obviously, they were taking care of the needs of their own people as well, so this ...read more

  • The Poor Economics Of Sowing

    Contributed by Jim Cunningham on Sep 2, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,158 views

    Looking at the Parable of the Sower as a true parable, rather than an allegory.

    We are a bit past the growing season here in NJ. But the farmers’ markets are still booming with the harvest of seeds that were planted back in the spring. We have had extreme weather this year – first wet, then dry, with a miserable heat wave in the middle. I’m not sure it has been a bumper ...read more

  • The Real Insurgency, Pt. 1 Series

    Contributed by Jim Cunningham on Sep 2, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,406 views

    A look at spiritual warfare, based not on the popular ideas on the subject, but on the biblical text.

    I am sure that nearly all of us are aware that our country, though not in a declared war, is still fighting two campaigns half a world away. What these campaigns have in common is that the enemy, while defeated, is still waging a war of insurgency against our troops and against our ...read more

  • The Real Insurgency, Pt. 2 Series

    Contributed by Jim Cunningham on Sep 2, 2006
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,906 views

    Second in a series looking at spiritual warfare not on the basis of popular Christian views, but on biblical teaching.

    Two weeks ago I started preaching on this passage, and I told you at the time that as I began to study though it, what I had intended to be a single sermon had grown into at least two. Now it looks like three. And frankly, we could spend many more weeks on the subject of spiritual warfare. As I ...read more

  • The Real Insurgency, Pt. 3 Series

    Contributed by Jim Cunningham on Sep 2, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,015 views

    Third in a series looking at spiritual warfare not on the basis of popular Christian views, but based on the biblical text.

    The third and hopefully last in this series on spiritual warfare. To go back and recap: 1) So much has been written in the last 35 years, much of it with wild sounding terms like spiritual mapping, casting down strongholds, generational curses and binding spirits. I am not saying, nor have I ...read more

     | 8,996 views

    A look at the paralized man at the pool of Bethesda.

    Caught in a hurricane or the aftermath of one… how would you cope if you lost everything? Folks do rally, but one wonders how we’d react. Surely some simply cave in. Ever been in a situation that you thought was absolutely hopeless? Physical, relational, financial. Scuba story – being stuck and ...read more

    Communion Meditation for July 9, 2006

    (1) The word ‘vacation’ according to the Webster’s Second New Riverside Dictionary means ‘a period of time for pleasure, rest, or relaxation.’ Europeans call ‘taking a vacation’ ‘taking a holiday’ or ‘going on holiday’ and for some the month of August is a month of taking their holiday. In fact, in ...read more

  • The Obedience Of Love; The Love Of Obedience

    Contributed by Jim Kane on Sep 4, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,504 views

    Fourth sermon in the summer 2006 Series, “Being God’s People by Serving, Obeying, and Giving.”

    What is love? Love has always been a big topic of discussion between us humans. Much is said about love and much is written about love. However, it seems to me that we have never been able to give a satisfactory answer to the question, ‘What is love?’ (1) But we are often able to describe love ...read more
