    Hide And Seek

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 4, 2023
     | 1,411 views

    If God seems hidden, maybe we’re not looking in the right place. We have to move to a different place, stand at a different angle, look from a different perspective, before we can find God in the answer.

    One Sunday morning a little girl in her Sunday best was running so she wouldn’t be late for church. Maybe it was daylight savings time.... As she ran she kept praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late to church. Please don’t let me be late to church...” As she was running she tripped and ...read more

    If you have recognized yourselves in other people, then Jesus will recognize himself in you.

    I was adjusting the biometric ID on my phone while I was preparing this sermon and started thinking about the things like the algorithms used to identify users’ buying habits and then about how easy it is to access untold quantities of information about you just from plugging your name into your ...read more

    So what are you going to get Jesus for his birthday? What do you think he wants most?

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a different turn after I had named it and put together the bulletin. The initial idea was the issue of this new database that the Defense Department is putting together, that has the civil libertarians up in arms over the loss of privacy. Because no matter how ...read more

    Would you recognize Christ if you saw him? Christ walked with two of the Disciples and they didn't even recognize him.

    Have You Seen the Lord? John {20:11} But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre, {20:12} And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. {20:13} And ...read more

    How Often I Would, But You Would Not

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 3, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,170 views

    God uses the metaphor of a hen to describe His love for us. We look at why He wants to gather us, the means He uses to do so, and the dangers of ignoring His call. Missed opportunities become judgments!

    HOW OFTEN I WOULD, BUT YOU WOULD NOT Matt. 23:37-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Here’s an early Mother’s Day joke. A pastor was talking to a teenage boy; “I want to teach you about a higher power.” 2. The teen answered, “You mean, my Dad?” The pastor laughed, “Haha! No! Much higher than that!” ...read more

    As we begin the year 2025, let us meditate this verse as the theme verse for the year and a promise of God to everyone who is present. 1. God is Majestic - incomparable God 2. He is fearsome and glorious - incompatible God 3. He is a miracle worker- incredible God

    based on 1 rating
     | 934 views

    We must approach the Bible without preconceived ideas. We should let it speak for itself. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself. If a scripture contradicts our theology, our theology is probably wrong. As Jesus said, "The scripture cannot be broken."

    CHERRY-PICKING THE WORD OF GOD 2 Timothy 2:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMON: 5 TIPS TO FIND A GOOD HUSBAND 1st TIP: Find a man who loves you & is loyal. 2nd TIP: “ “ “ ‘s fun & makes you laugh. 3rd TIP: “ “ hard worker, makes a good living. 4th TIP: “ “ ...read more

    Our rational age has lost its reason; only faith reunites logic and love, restoring truth, humility, and genuine freedom.

    Introduction – The Smartest Dumb Thing We’ve Ever Done I was sitting in a campus café a few months ago when I overheard a group of students arguing over whether coffee is technically a fruit juice. It started as a joke, but within five minutes one had pulled up research on the coffee cherry, ...read more

    God initially gave man the way, with a free will and we should never set up our free will against the holy will of God. The Everlasting way (eternal life) was in man’s hands from the beginning, and now it is not.

    The Way Described John 14:1-6 Introduction Have you ever noticed that in most cities, or towns or villages, there are no roads named after God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit? As I begin this “Way to Jerusalem” series, I experienced a number of thoughts concerning roads, streets, paths, alleys, ...read more
