    Tell Me The Story Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 7, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,325 views

    How do we tell others the story of Jesus? In our text today we see that it doesn’t require a Bible college education or a deep theological argument. Instead, it’s all about saying “Come and See Jesus”.

    (Sermon began with a group of people standing on a sidewalk looking upward) Back when I was a boy, there was a TV show that always began with this group of people on a sidewalk - pointing and looking up in the sky. Does anyone know what TV show this was? (SUPERMAN) “Look! Up in the sky…. It’s a ...read more

    Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Preaching The Word Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 764 views

    Jonah preached and the people of Nineveh repented. Preaching the word of God should be taken seriously, should be based on the word of God. Here are some important aspects of preaching which when followed will certainly produce a bountiful harvest.

    We read in Jonah 3:5, “The people of Nineveh believed God. They decided to stop eating for a time to think about their sins. They put on special clothes to show they were sorry. All the people in the city did this, from the most important to the least important.” (ERV) The people of Nineveh ...read more

    The Gift Is Not The Box

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 16, 2025
     | 1,270 views

    God gave us a gift in His Son. That gift must be taken out of the "box" and utilized in order to get the full benefit of the gift. Many Christians keep Jesus in a box where He is not allowed to operate freely in their lives.

    The Gift Is Not The Box Scripture: Proverbs 20:11; John 3:16; First Corinthians 13:11 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message today is “The Gift Is Not The Box” and I want to focus your attention on spiritual maturity. Proverbs 20:11, from the New American Standard Bible, says, ...read more

    Pastor Bruce Ball CrossWinds Bible Church Sometimes I try and picture Jesus walking on the same earth that I am walking on. In historical terms, He was here just a few short years ago.

    This sermon was preached the first Sunday of 2002 and it deals with the new beginning Peter had in John 21 after his previous denials of Christ. God always has a plan for our lives after a failure.

    Sermon focuses on John 1:14, using the translations the word became flesh and "tabernacled" or "set up camp" with us. (Good for use in a camping setting or a location where many hearers are familiar with camping.)

    Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. How many of you would call yourselves “campers”? Yes, several of our members disappear for varied weekends throughout the summer to spend time at a campsite. But let me get more specific here. How many ...read more
