  • He Had To Rise

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Apr 21, 2009
     | 3,452 views

    Easter is a time of HOPE in a world sadly lacking

    He HAD To Rise! (All my sermons use illustrations from sermon central.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) (We showed a video from the “Passion of Christ” entitled “Beautiful Savior” just before I preached.) “Jesus your nailed scarred hands are beautiful, and your nailed scarred ...read more

  • His Poverty, Our Wealth

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 22, 2009
     | 3,956 views

    Ours are uncertain times, like those into which Jesus came. But God in Christ invested for the long haul and pours Himself into something risky. So therefore can we.

    These are uncertain times. And in uncertain times uncertain people do irrational things, destructive things. People who are drifting, people who have no anchor, people who have no center - in uncertain times, such people do things which destroy. The pages of the calendar are turning toward ...read more

  • Recognizing What Time It Is

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 23, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,537 views

    There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

    There is nothing quite so fulfilling as good timing. And nothing quite so embarrassing as bad timing. They say that the secret in being a comedian is good timing. Well, the secret in living is good timing. Quite a few years ago, a young lady in whom I was more than slightly interested had to be ...read more

  • Reform, Revival, Or Renewal

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 24, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,541 views

    (Reformation Sunday). It is good to reform how we do church, using the Bible as our basis; it is good to revive our spiritual energies. But best of all is to renew ourselves for mission.

    My great-uncle, Ed Weber, drove an ancient car. I doubt if you’ve ever heard of its brand name. He drove a Terraplane. Anybody remember the Terraplane? Well, dearie, if you do, then you are much older than I, because my great-uncle’s Terraplane was already ancient when I was a boy. It had been ...read more

  • Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: What God Gives To The Grieving Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 25, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,545 views

    Grieving healthily means remembering both positive and negative; it means connecting with others who can love us and whom we can love. In His own time God will give joy.

    One of the laws of life is: To get something, you must give up something. To gain, you must also lose. We call that the tradeoff principle. We operate on the tradeoff principle every day. When you go to the grocery store and fill your basket, they have the audacity to expect you to pay for what ...read more

  • Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: Taking Charge Of Our Own Grief Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 26, 2009
     | 5,567 views

    We take charge of reducing our grief when we first trust ourselves, then trust others in redemptive relationships, and ultimately trust God, who raised Christ from the dead.

    Granger Westberg, in his little book, Good Grief, says that when you have something worth grieving about, then go ahead and grieve, but grieve in a healthy way. Westberg agrees that the Bible says, "Do not grieve as those do who have no hope", but that does not mean we do not grieve. When you have ...read more

  • Invisible Man

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 27, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,313 views

    As Ralph Ellison helped us see racism as one group treating another as invisible, so today we need to discern who is invisible to us; and we need to see how Jesus is invisible to many until He is connected to the culture and until we make Him visible.

    "I am an invisible man." Those words, pecked out on an old typewriter one night in the Vermont hills, began a literary work of unparalleled beauty and power. Ralph Waldo Ellison; encouraged to make music and to write by his father; inspired by the civil rights activism of his mother, began to ...read more

  • Extreme Living

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Apr 28, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,527 views

    In a world of Extreme life, we as Christians can live Extreme also

    EXTREME LIVING Attitude is Everything (All my sermons use illustrations from Sermon Central and all Scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) In our world there seems to be a need to take things to another level. When I was younger I enjoyed sports, now there is EXTREME sports. Our world is ...read more

  • Reality Check

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 30, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,374 views

    Adherence to the Bible will teach us neither to be overly optimistic nor overly negative about human nature, but will give us both hope and harmony. Thus we must be serious Bible students.

    Twenty-five years ago, Neil Armstrong stepped out of that lunar module and set foot where no person had ever gone before, on the surface of the moon. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." We were fascinated, and we still are. Nothing like that had ever been done; nothing quite like ...read more

  • In The Hour Of Trial: Open Door

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 1, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,322 views

    The doors of the church: some are locked, but panic hardware always lets us out for mission; some are heavily locked, but it is Christ who is our security; and some are never locked, for we are to be open to embrace those who need us.

    Have you ever seen a place with as many doors as this church building has! A hardware salesman would be in heaven, right here! Doors, doors, everywhere doors. There are doors leading to the outside. Eight of them, I think. There are doors inside, leading into the rooms. Some doors take you into ...read more

  • Knowing When To Break The Rules

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 2, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,660 views

    Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman admits several interpretations, all of which teach us: give what is needed rather than what is wanted; teach others rather than do for them; watch your motives.

    Just when you think you have your life routines down pat, settled and secure, something comes along and upsets the whole pattern. Just when you think you have your life all organized, something comes up to discombobulate it! Just when you think you know the rules by which you govern your life, ...read more

  • How To Drive Your Mother Crazy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,530 views

    Know your own self, do what is right whether you like it or not, and go beyond the norm. It will drive your mother crazy and will call from your Father, "Well done".

    Our relationship with our mothers is at once the most wonderful and yet the most difficult of all our relationships. We love them deeply, and we get so upset with them we almost hate them. Few of us are neutral about our mothers; we hold them close and then push them away forcefully. We get ...read more

  • How New Is New?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,166 views

    We live in a revolutionary time. Can we seize it for Christ. God is doing something new and is calling us to join Him in it, as walls and barriers come down.

    If this winter is like most winters, you will wake up one morning, peer out your window, and find the whole scene blanketed in pure white snow. It will seem like a fairyland to you, and for a little while, at least, the whole world will appear to be new. Brand new, clean and fresh, sparkling and ...read more

  • The Inevitable Cleanup Job Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 5, 2009
     | 4,076 views

    Sin is inevitable and needs to be identified as the filth that is in all of us, and it needs to be acknowledged in the Christian community. But God loves us and cares for us and is in the blood of Christ cleaning us.

    No matter how good it is, it has to be cleaned up. Isn’t that always the case? No matter how good anything is, it has to be cleaned up. You get a new suit of clothes, you wear it a few times -- maybe only one time, in this heat -- and before you know it, it has to go off to the dry cleaners. No ...read more

  • Lessons From Wiffle Ball

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on May 5, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,591 views

    I loved wiffle ball as a child, some of those lessons apply to our walk with Christ

    LESSONS FROM WIFFLE BALL (All my sermons use illustrations from sermon central and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) When I was a young child I loved to play wiffle ball. We would set up a small “ball park” in the back yard and pretend we were great base ball players. You can do ...read more
