    Keeping your past from ruining your future

    IF ONLY! John 11 1A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. 2This is the Mary who poured the expensive perfume on the Lord’s feet and wiped them with her hair. Her brother, Lazarus, was sick. 3So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, "Lord, ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Richard Dean Lewis, a young man who had a great deal of potential, and whose death caused his family to rethink their relationships.

    There is no binding so tight as the one we wind for ourselves. Others may strap you into a seat or use restraints on your hospital bed, but those are never so confining as the bindings with which we confine ourselves. For the bindings we use on ourselves are generally so snug that we cannot ...read more

    How to glorify God?

    Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus that their brother Lazarus was sick. And He did not go immediately to him but waited. In Jesus mind it was clear that Lazarus sickness was to demonstrate the glory of God and that His Son Jesus may be glorified. While Jesus’ disciples are perplexed to understand ...read more

    A sermon for Lent 5, reminding us that there is life beyond death and encouraging us not to be dictated to by death

    What’s your attitude to death? If you were to visit a doctor tomorrow and they said you were dieing, how would you react? Would you be like one of my mates who said, I can’t afford to die yet, I don’t have enough money for the funeral? Or perhaps you might be like the lady who said of course I ...read more

    Too Late?

    Some times we only get one shot to do things right. But Christ can work beyond our limitations

    Too Late? Sometimes, you only get one chance. There are opportunities that only happen once. And if you miss it, you never get the chance to do it again. For example, At my High School, there is a tradition. When the graduate’s name is called, members of the family stand up to show support for ...read more

    Rest For Today And Forever

    I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

    (Reading of the obituary) I think it’s pretty safe to say that this day came as a great shock to almost every one of us in this room here today. While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more

     | 4,998 views

    This sermon focuses on the reality that there are times Christians’s should be marked by tears --- compassion for the hurting is seen in Jesus.

    It’s Crying Time John 11:35 Isn’t it interesting that we men aren’t supposed to cry? It’s true, you know—we’re supposed to be tough and strong. Big boys don’t cry. Unless you’re singing a country song. I remember a country tune from many a year ago that proclaimed: “Well, it’s crying time again, ...read more

    Faith Is More

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Mar 12, 2007
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,410 views

    I’m calling God’s people in my care to develop a faith in Jesus that goes beyond mental assent (belief) to include emotional reliance (trust) and active obedience (loyalty).

    Introduction: The Bible tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). The Bible says, "The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17). That makes me think that faith is very important -- even vital. But what is faith? The Bible commands us to "stand firm in the ...read more

    Why did Jesus stay at the Jordan while His sick friend, Lazarus, lay dying in Bethany? Maybe a story like this one was the reason.

    The Compassion of Your Savior John 11:31-32 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she ...read more
