     | 9,754 views

    Commitment is viewed by many diferent people many different ways, yet the scripture has another idea about what commitment is and how we can achieve single-minded devotion to Christ.

     | 4,709 views

    To those who are lost and living under slavery to the power and curse of Sin, the Word is saying “Come make peace with God.” To those who do have salvation through accepting Jesus, God is saying “learn what you have been restored with and live by it.”

    “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet...” (Luk 15:20) This is a well known parable, most Christians have either heard of it or study on it. And there is still a lot for us yet to learn and ...read more

    UNITED WE FLY (ALL my sermons use illustrations from www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) This church is about people reaching people. If a young person gets saved then they will reach 19% of their family. If a woman gets saved she will reach 32% of her family. ...read more

  • Driving Under The Influence

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 11, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,031 views

    Energy and passion in worship are fine, but they must push us toward authentic living and toward dedicated mission, else they will be destructive.

    I could not help noticing this car that morning. It was a tiny little car, one of those that looks like a sardine can on wheels. The rust spots and the dents suggested that it had survived more than its share of bumps and bruises. But that was not all that made me notice this little puddle ...read more

  • To An Unknown God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 15, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,016 views

    Our world is incurably religious and is filled with people on a spiritual search. We find it easy to talk religion, but our calling is to share our relationship with the living Christ.

    We are incurably religious! Wherever you go, you will find that people are religious. We are groping for something we never quite find. Ride with me up and down Sixteenth Street, here in the city, or out New Hampshire Avenue, past Colesville. The architecture is ample proof that people are ...read more

  • Anticipating Grief

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 18, 2010
     | 6,243 views

    A grief anticipating what will happen is difficult, but can be handled if we ask and accept forgiveness. When the grief is fulfilled, then we are ready to do what our hearts tell us. God suffered anticipating grief and so understands.

    Only someone who has done some grieving can help those who now grieve. A hundred "I’m sorries" and a thousand "I know how you feels" are worthless when you feel profound grief. You need at your side someone who has been through loss. And if yours is anticipating grief; that is, if yours is the ...read more

  • Answers, Not Appeasement

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,594 views

    When our needs are real, we want genuine answers, not just appeasements. Look to self-esteem, look to the resources already present, and look to the Lord of victory for real answers.

    When you need something, and you ask for it, what do you expect? Do you expect an answer or an appeasement? Do you expect a clear-cut, usable answer to your request, or are you satisfied if you are just told, well, have a nice day? When you need something, and you ask for it, which really satisfies ...read more

  • Annas And Caiaphas: Stuck In Responsibility Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,902 views

    We feel stuck in responsibilities, trying to maintain something just because we’ve inherited it, and are tempted to think of leadership as image. In a relationship to Christ, responsibility is transformed into freedom.

    He was tired to the bone, but rose to go trim the wicks and boost the light again. How many times had he been to these lamps tonight? How many times had he wanted just to give it up and go to bed? How many times had he hoped that some magic answer would swoop in his open window and land on his ...read more

  • An Extra Letter

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 21, 2010
     | 5,032 views

    For Remembrance Sunday 1995, commemorating those who had died in the previous year: their lives remind us to embrace but not misuse our freedom, to love without limitations, and to serve concerns wider than our own lives.

    Before I begin, let me ask you first to turn to Galatians 5: 13, and be ready to read it with me in a little while. [Read II Corinthians 3: 1-3] I have an announcement to make. The most amazing thing has happened. We have found another letter from the Lord to the churches. We have discovered an ...read more

  • An Appeal To The Fringe

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2010
     | 3,775 views

    Serving others when they need help is distracting, but it is our calling; it is draining, but not depleting ... rather it is empowering.

    The trouble with my "honey-do" list is, it is much too complicated for my limited brainpower! How am I supposed to remember all the things I am expected to do? How am I supposed to keep it all straight? 3 I am about to walk out the front door, and I hear: “Oh, you’re going out to make a hospital ...read more

  • A Mutual Assurance Company

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 23, 2010
     | 3,069 views

    In order to feel fully at home in the church, we begin with praying for one another, we learn both to receive and to give to one another, and we abandon top-down thinking.

    Isn’t it astounding, the power of the group? Isn’t it amazing that an otherwise normal, there, healthy, together person can be in a group and feel so wrong? Have you ever been in a group that was sending out such negative vibes that you just wanted to get out of there? Somehow you even felt ashamed ...read more

  • A Sting Or A Saint?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,248 views

    An empty niche above the church door, made for a statue of a saint, but now containing a hornet’s nest, suggests the choice of letting our lives be empowered by God or letting the sting of death and disappointment take over.

    The other day I was hauling in a load of stuff from my car. I came in the Aspen Street entrance to the building, the entrance nearest my office. For some reason, as I was carrying things through the door, I looked up above my head, probably to implore the Lord to give me an extra ounce of muscle ...read more

  • Back To Basics

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,890 views

    There are times when a church, however successful, must review the basics: do we love those whom we serve, are we able to love those with whom we disagree, and can we feel sheer, passionate love for Christ Himself?

    Where I come from, the real religion is basketball. Baptists, Methodists, and Catholics all take a distant back seat, because the real religion in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is basketball. No spring day goes by without every schoolboy finding his way to the hoops to do lay-ups and to dream about ...read more
