    Listen To The Lord!

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,877 views

    Are you a good listener? Not listening many times means you’re going to miss something important. How about listening to the Lord? Are you a good listener? Samuel is a good example for us to follow when it comes to listening to the Lord. How does the Lord speak to us? Why should we listen?

    Are you a good listener? Maybe instead of asking you, I should ask your spouse, or your children, or your parents. Are you a good listener? There are certainly some people that are better listeners than others and you’ve probably experienced that in your life. A person who is a sympathetic ear, ...read more

    Loving The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

    Are you a good Samaritan? We might try to help other people, but is that really what Jesus was trying to teach when he told the story about the good Samaritan? Look to what leads up to this parable and see how Jesus' story is so much more than just a lesson teaching us to help other people.

    “Help other people.” When did you learn that lesson? That is one of the very basic lessons that we normally learn at a very early age. Someone drops something, you pick it up. Someone falls down on the playground, you help them up. If there is someone who is need, you share what you have been ...read more

    Committed To Christ

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 5,451 views

    You're trying to make the right decisions and live out your Christian life, but the more you try, the more difficult life seems to get. Our Christians lives are not always so glorious. Why do we continue? Where do find the glory of a life committed to following Christ?

    Have you ever had one of those weeks where things seem to go wrong? You’re trying to do the right thing, make the right decisions, but it just doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. You set aside time for a family dinner, only to have it turn into sibling arguments, someone stomping away ...read more

    Peace & Persecution

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 3,038 views

    Are you comfortable in being a follower of Christ? Countless Christians around the world face intense persecution for being followers of Jesus, but they're not alone. We share in the struggles of being a Christian. Why is that? Listen to Jesus' call to deny yourself and follow him.

    Each year, a Christian organization called “Open Doors” publishes a list of the top 50 countries where Christians are most intensely persecuted for their faith. Physical violence, death threats, execution, imprisonment, rape, neglect, burning of homes, bombing of churches, abandoned by family, ...read more

    Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,040 views

    Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

    “Do you need some help?” When someone asks you that question, what is your natural reaction? I think that our natural response might be a bit defensive, “No. I’ve got it. I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more

    "you Don't Have To Go To Church To Be A Christian" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,473 views

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    "i Don't Get Anything Out Of Church." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,797 views

    People come to church with certain expectations. But are those the expectations that God wants us to come with, or are they are our own expectations? See how God's promises far exceed our expectations for church.

    “I don’t get anything out of it.” You’ve probably heard it as a reason for someone no longer going to church and maybe you’ve actually had the thought yourself. You walked out of church and thought, “I just don’t feel like I got anything out of it.” People come to church with certain ...read more

    Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?

    The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people. Various start times and shifts throughout the day and night, rotating schedules and “on call” demands have certainly redefined what a “normal” work week looks like. You combine that ...read more

    "the Church Is A Bunch Of Hypocrites." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,353 views

    People's experience with those in the church is often their first experience with Christianity. What are we to say when that experience was less than positive? How are we going to respond?

    “I don’t mind Jesus, it’s his followers I can’t stand.” “You wouldn’t believe the way that I was treated when I went to that church.” “I’ve seen the way that Christians act when they’re not at church.” “The church is a bunch of hypocrites.” What’s your first reaction when you hear comments ...read more

    "all The Church Cares About Is Money." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 5,365 views

    Money is powerful! The amount of money we have allows or prevents us from having or doing certain things. Jesus understand the power of money as a prime competitor for our hearts. The church echoes Jesus' warning as we see what he was willing to pay for our eternity.

    We learn very early on in life that when you walk into a store and you see something that you would like to buy, what is one of the first things that you look at? You look at the price tag. You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more

    If I Had Only One Sermon To Preach . . .

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 6, 2019
     | 5,544 views

    You have only one chance to preach a sermon. What text would you use?

    Many years ago, I remember reading a book called “If I had only one sermon to preach”. The photos of the ministers on the front cover or dust jacket made me think twice about reading it, though, because these men had some of the most sour expressions I’ve ever seen! It reminded me of a bit of ...read more

    When Thou Art Converted

     | 5,526 views

    This contribution is based on a message preached June 2, 2013, at the Eolia Baptist Church, Eolia, MO. This is not an exact transcription.

    Thank you for giving me the privilege of sharing a message from God’s Word today. As some of you have found out, I’m originally from West Virginia but my wife is a native of Missouri, so, any questions, she can help translate for you!

    Use The Best To Stand The Test

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2019
     | 6,489 views

    Every Christian will have his or her deeds tested by fire. If anyone is not ready, there is still time to make corrections. But this life is all we have, so please, live it wisely!

    Use the best to stand the test Some time ago, I saw a question which read, “What on earth are you doing for Heaven’s sake?” That question could be taken any number of ways. I definitely wish more preachers had used this text so as to remind us that our deeds are important, and that this life is ...read more

    Paul At Athens: Opportunities, Obstacles, And Outcomes

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 5, 2019
     | 4,083 views

    Paul looked for ways to share the Gospel in a most unlikely place. He gave them something to think about!

    Our text is from Acts, chapter 17, and here is the background. Paul has left Philippi, as written in Acts 16, and now he’s heading to Athens after he had been in Thessalonica and Berea. He’s now there in Athens, which was the capital of thought in those days. Athens was one of the largest and most ...read more

    Stay True To The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 10, 2019
     | 3,595 views

    The Gospel was spreading and people were trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Especially in Antioch, they needed encouragement and who better than Barnabas to fulfill that ministry!

    Stay True to the Lord (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Glasgow, MO) The background for today’s message comes from the Book of Acts, chapter 11, verses 19 through 26. Luke wrote these words under the Holy Spirit’s guidance about how things were beginning to change. ...read more
