    A Good Soldier Of Christ Jesus

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 25, 2010
     | 7,334 views

    Funeral sermon for John Sheppard, retired Army sergeant, who had taken on a life of service and who had suffered with illness for several years.

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, then today the photographs you have selected will suffice for the message. In one of them there is a young man, wearing the uniform of the United States Army. This young man’s face displays dignity; his bearing is proud, his eyes are steady, his stance is ...read more

    Funeral message for Thelma Harper Brown, who exhibited extraordinary patience during a long decline.

    What must it feel like to spend every day waiting? Just waiting. Not going anywhere, not keeping appointments, not concerned about a schedule, but just waiting. Waiting through interminable days and dark nights; waiting to be fed, to be turned, to be spoken to. What must it feel like just to ...read more

    Six Miles Of Obedience

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 25, 2010
     | 4,525 views

    Funeral message for Eva Myers, whose distinctive discipline was six miles of walking daily ... a metaphor for walking with Christ.

    "Whoever obeys [God’s] word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, ’I abide in him,’ ought to walk just as he walked." At first I didn’t believe it. Six miles a day?! How could anybody, especially one up in her years, ...read more

    The Word Of The Cross

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,835 views

    Funeral message for Mrs. Athelstein Coleman, whose hobby was working crossword puzzles: a play on "crossword" to say that the "word of the cross" means wisdom and strength.

    It's not only what people do that interests me; it's also why they do it. When I see someone doing something over and over again, I want to know what that behavior means. If there is a pattern in someone's behavior, what does that pattern mean? Often you find that people do what they do, even ...read more

    Stranger In A Strange Land

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 27, 2010
     | 8,680 views

    For Prayer Breakfast given by a Francophone African church. We must respond to immigrants because God commands it, our history demands it, it serves our own best interests, and the Gospel includes it.

    Valentine Michael Smith was born on Earth, raised on Mars, and returned to Earth. He never felt fully at home in either place. But his interaction with Earth, when he returned as a young adult, transformed Earth culture and impacted many lives. His most important contribution to Earth was the ...read more

    Failing, Fruitless, Flourishing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,545 views

    We are a part of this world's injustice and brokenness, and need to repent, for we have too often attempted nothing or have given ourselves to pointless activity. "Only what you do for Christ will last" and that is guaranteed by His risen life.

    There are just too many things that are not the way they ought to be, and I don’t like it! Are you with me? There are too many things going on that should not be going on, and when I hear about them or experience them, it disturbs me. I don’t like the brokenness I see in this ...read more

    Peace Now

     | 5,015 views

    Funeral message for Matthew Jackson, a quiet man whose chief pleasure was to be among family and friends and who devoted himself to a disabled son.

    There are two kinds of quiet people. There are those who are quiet because, to tell the truth, they have nothing to say! And then there are those who are quiet because they are simply content with what they know; they have no need to impress anyone else. There are two kinds of quiet people. Two ...read more

    If You Want Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,815 views

    Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

    All Things

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 14, 2010
     | 5,034 views

    Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

    At the very center of the Christian faith there is Christ. That sounds self-evident: it seems obvious. But we keep forgetting it. We keep on trying to live without a center. Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more

    Fearing Fear

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 15, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,825 views

    Delivered 1986. Fear is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, based on our image of a vengeful God. But challenging God is faith-filled, and His response is Jesus, who experiences all that we experience.

    The trouble with preparing sermons in a series that lasts several weeks is that I am never quite sure whether I am the only one who knows where we are in that series. I am never quite sure whether you see just four sermons, or maybe you only attend two of the four weeks, or whether you sit with ...read more

    Who's Killing The Church?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 22, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,631 views

    Reformation Sunday. As in Luther’s Day, those who will kill the church are those who have no hope for its future, no respect for its past, and no presence in its present.

    Near the Tower of London there stands an ancient parish church called "All Hallows". Just inside the wall enclosing the graveyard at All Hallows there is a large sign, placed so that tourists leaving the Tower may read it. The sign at "All Hallows" cites a bit of history and then raises a pointed ...read more

    Who Gets Hurt By What We Do?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 24, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,272 views

    Morality is not just an arbitrary abstraction. God is hurt by what we do, and we ourselves are hurt by immoral behavior. But God in Christ can give us a new heart.

    I am a part of a group of five ministers who get together about once a month as a support group. Our intent is simply to share what is going on in our lives and let the others comment with any wisdom they may have. At the last meeting of the group, one of the members was talking about the way he ...read more

    Who Profits From These Walls?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 24, 2008

     | 3,991 views

    In support of property redevelopment in this church: God will remember us, as will this community, if we build with human needs in mind, if we build unselfishly, and if we build for future generations.

    All of us have a powerful need to be remembered and will do almost anything to make sure we are remembered. We want to be remembered; we want somebody to remember those significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries, and we will drop hints and leave calendars lying around and do everything we ...read more

    Light The Candle: Jesus Has Come

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 24, 2008
     | 7,083 views

    For Christmas Eve, just prior to the lighting of the Christ Candle. When we take our light from the Light of the World, we will be changed and we will leave traces of that change behind us.

    One of the world’s great natural wonders is Mammoth Cave, in my home state of Kentucky. In Mammoth Cave there are more than 300 miles of caverns, there are mineral deposits that supplied the American army during the War of 1812, there are fish that have no eyes and need no eyes since they live ...read more

    The world needs Boazes, who will see others as ntext-of-kin who create opportunities for ministry, not merely depersonalizing obligations.

    It’s summertime, and various ones have been telling me about their vacations and their trips. One thing I keep hearing over and over again is the phrase, "family reunion". Lots and lots of you have attended family reunions. Now there are family reunions and there are family reunions. For Margaret ...read more
