    Disqualified! Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Nov 14, 2008
     | 9,799 views

    Don’t let a desire for instant gratification disqualify you from God’s best.

    I think the five most nauseating words a person can hear are, “I’m sorry, you’ve been disqualified.” Disqualification means that no matter how hard you try or how well you’ve done, you will not reach your goal. There’s something that you can never have because you’ve been disqualified. ...read more

    You Are Here Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,566 views

    You can’t get to where you need to go unless you know where you are.

    Back at the tender age of 19 I landed an assistant manger job at the Radio Shack in Thomasville. As a lifelong Lexington boy I only knew enough about Thomasville to find my way to work. But I didn’t get out much and anything further north than DCCC was unknown territory to me. One day at work I ...read more

    Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours! Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,681 views

    Genuine worship informs the mind about God, inundates the heart with the Spirit, and initiates the body into Christ-likeness.

    On April 21st of last years the Associated Press reported: Another round and amen! Beer was on tap and a mechanical bull inspired the sermon as a new church held its inaugural service in a western Ohio bar. The Country Rock Church drew about 100 people to Sunday night’s meeting at the Pub Lounge ...read more

    A Prayer For People Who Have Everything Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on May 4, 2009
     | 3,621 views

    Jesus must be the source of your confidence if you’re ever going to stand up and stand out for God.

    Back in my teen years a co-worker at the Red Barn Fish Camp #2 in Tyro, NC introduced me to a club that he said I never wanted to be a member of if I could help it. It’s called the WSC Club. The subject came up because one of our buddies in the kitchen wanted to ask a girl out on a date, but he ...read more

    Plight Of The Living Dead Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on May 13, 2009
     | 3,642 views

    "I see dead people."

    One of my all-time favorite movies is The Sixth Sense. It stars Bruce Willis as a child psychiatrist working with a young boy played by Haley Joel Osment who claims to be able to see dead people. The kid figured out that the dead people, who he alone can see and converse with, don’t know that ...read more

    Clueless On Purpose

    Contributed by Joel Smith on May 18, 2009
     | 5,281 views

    Choose Christ rather than cluelessness.

    When I was growing up one of the highlights of the year took place every September. We were all euphoric when the Davidson County Agricultural Fair rolled into town. As a kid I liked the rides and the cotton candy and candy apples. As a teenager and young adult, I enjoyed the fair because it was a ...read more

    God's Opinion Of Popular Opinion

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,277 views

    If you will let Christ change your mind, through you He will change the world.

    This year has been quite a learning experience for me. I’ve learned much about World History and American Government because those are the two main subjects I teach, but I’ve also learned a lot about the why the church in America is so ineffective in our modern culture. I’ve gained this knowledge ...read more

    If you will live for Christ like no one else, later you can live with Christ like no one else.

    Today I speak to you as a free man. School is out for summer. I haven’t had this much freedom since I was a teenager. It’s been a good year, though. Not only have I learned to rely on God and witnessed more of His faithfulness, I learned a lot about my subject areas. I was truly challenged ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,511 views

    I came, I saw, I stuck. Choosing Velcro over Teflon.

    The Baptist Standard of last year made this sad prediction: “The Southern Baptist Convention is dying rapidly, and resistance to change could kill more than half the denomination’s churches by 2030, SBC President Frank Page said. Unless something is done to reverse the downward trend, Southern ...read more

    Isaac reveals the ways of winsomeness.

    Last Sunday the congregation of Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan received several unwelcome protesters into their 11:30 AM service. On cue members of a gay rights activists group called Back Bash began disrupting the service. They were attempting to protest the passing of California’s gay ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,501 views

    What’s going on when the saints sin?

    When I put my faith in Jesus Christ decisively at the age of 21, God spoke a sentence into my consciousness that I will never forget: “You’re forgiven. Go and sin no more.” From the moment that lightning bolt realization struck, I’ve never doubted God’s complete forgiveness. That simple ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,328 views

    Disappointments will come and we have the choice to let them bury us or buoy us.

    Christmas is a season not only of joy, but, if we’re honest, also of disappointment. Sometimes we’re disappointed with gifts. When Laura’s brother, Grayson, was in Middle School he received one such gift. To appreciate this you have to get the image in your mind of the entire family gathered ...read more

    Have A Scandalous Christmas

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Dec 11, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,737 views

    Mary was willing to be scandalized so that God would be glorified.

    Isn’t it amazing how we have sanitized Christmas? Over the centuries we’ve cleaned up the story significantly. Christmas cards bear evidence of this. Most of them depict tinsel, holly, Christmas trees, bells, female angels, and Santa Claus. If they do get around to an image of the real ...read more

    Everything You've Heard About Christmas Is Wrong

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Dec 18, 2008
    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,503 views

    Exposing the myths of Christmas in a lighthearted way

    As you can see from the title of the sermon this morning, I’m going to attempt to overturn much of what you believed to be true about Christmas. Over the last several years I’ve become convinced that God created me to combat conventional wisdom. Why? Most of the time conventional wisdom is just ...read more

    Reason For Hope On The Road Ahead Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Jan 1, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,479 views

    The road ahead is about to get rocky, but, we have reason for hope.

    It’s hard to believe another year has come and gone. It’s 2009 and what makes this new year unique is there’s more reason for pessimism than optimism at what it will bring. Maybe you’ve heard some of the dire predictions about what the near future holds. A couple of weeks ago, economist and ...read more
