  • God Is Love

    Contributed by Ken Smith on Jan 19, 2002
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,485 views

    To say that God is love does not mean that love is God.

    God is Love 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. God is not sometimes loving and sometimes unloving, today loving some people and hating others, and tomorrow hate those who were previously loved. In everything God does, always, in dealing with all people, God ...read more

  • The World Demands A Life-Giving Vision Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2002
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,961 views

    Sermon delivered in support of our theme for 2002, and on the occasion of our annual meeting. A vision brings death if it is not communicated; it is discerned in prayer; and it always calls for repentance for the incompleteness of our obedience.

    Two things you learn, if you are at all observant about churches. First, that church people do not agree on their vision of what the church should be about; and, second, that the world knows what the church ought to be about better than church people know. We who gather week by week as the church ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Helen Hastings, long-time church financial secretary

    In a throwaway world, it is good to have known someone whose life reminds us that there are some things worth keeping. In a society where last year’s fashions are pitched out and yesterday’s values are passé, it is important to have known someone who understood how to keep hold of the right ...read more

  • Numbered, Weighed, And Given Away Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2002
    based on 68 ratings
     | 10,817 views

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more

  • Jesus Partying Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 24, 2002
    based on 55 ratings
     | 7,751 views

    We have taken our cues about how to have fun from the wrong places. When Jesus parties, he includes rather than excludes the misfits; he goes not to participate nor to criticize, but to listen and redeem; and when you party with Jesus, you have joy and z

    Suppose you gave a party and Jesus showed up! What would that do to your party? He wasn’t on the invitation list, He didn’t RSVP, but here He comes, making a beeline straight at you, with arms outstretched in greeting, and about twelve of his best buds looking eagerly at the buffet table. ...read more

  • Strange Land, Foreign Land, Promised Land Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 1, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,877 views

    A poetic, impressionistic rendering of Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus, presented by two readers in dialogue

    Every day is unique, every time is new. Never before have these same things happened, never again will this moment come. But the one who made this day, the one who is ever new, knows this moment. And knew that moment in which all things would be fulfilled. Each day is a gift. And each ...read more

     | 17,142 views

    Study of two men who had the opportunity to change but only one had the courage to do so.

    CHOOSE TO CHANGE Luke 18:18-23 - 19:1-10 Introduction: Our world has changed dramatically in the past 100 years, and futurists predict that even greater changes are coming. Consider these facts: We now watch as routine as space shuttles propel people into space and land routinely, yet it ...read more

  • Be Careful What You Pray For, You Might Get It Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 15, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 24,087 views

    There are only two motives for prayer: fear and hope. If you pray and live in fear, you will live a lie and deny God, and you will become destructive. But if you pray and live in fear, you will find satisfaction and will become a life-giver.

    God answers prayer. Let there be no doubt about that. God answers prayer. God responds to what His people ask. So it has often been said that you had better be careful what you pray for, because you just might get it! There is something awesome, something even dangerous about prayer. ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at a story which serves as a good pattern for all who are seeking God for a miracle

    “A Pattern Of Praying And Receiving” TEXT: II Chr. 20:1-5 (KJV) 1 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Am-mon, and with them other beside the Am-mon-ites, came against Je-hosh-a-phat to battle. 2 Then there came some that told Je-hosh-a-phat, saying, ...read more

  • Philadelphia: Que Sera Or Carpe Diem? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 55 ratings
     | 8,655 views

    It’s hard to go forward if we continually look back. God puts before us an open door of opportunity, but we must know that we are capable of good, and we must know our identities.

    Well, let’s get this over with. New Year’s resolutions: how many of you made New Year’s resolutions? Now how many of us have already broken at least one resolution? Come on, hands up, confession is good for the soul. How many have already, five days into the new year, broken at least ...read more

  • Sardis: Alarm Bells Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 12, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 7,145 views

    God is working to get our attention. Sometimes He uses alarm bells when we must respond immediately. Sometimes He uses alarm clocks to focus us on our daily disciplines. What is best, however, is the inner body clock, the inner drive to be a Kingdom pe

    The greatest challenge any speaker has is to gain and to hold the attention of his audience. Speech teachers tell us that if we are going to practice anything, practice both the opening and the ending of a speech. That may be all that anyone remembers. So how does a speaker gain and ...read more

    (INTRO) When God made mankind He loved mankind, So God try to help mankind but we would not take His help.

    Sermon for Black History Month, incorporating the poetry of recently deceased African poet and statesman Leopold Senghor; focus on imprisonment, liberation, empowerment, and forgiveness.

    It was night. Nothing else need be said. That short and simple phrase says it all. It was night. It was night when they visited my bedroom, when I was a child of six, to tell me that my mother would not be coming home for a long time. The stress of giving birth to my brother had been too much; ...read more

  • I Know History; I Do Not Know Myself Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 4, 2002
    based on 31 ratings
     | 9,804 views

    It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

    I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my trust. ...read more
