  • Standing Around Looking Cool Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 26, 2003
    based on 71 ratings
     | 8,568 views

    When we feel insecure, we back off from situations. But when the Holy Spirit comes, there is passion, there is witness.

    Is everybody cool? Is everybody cool? I am not referring to the temperature in the building, but to the climate in your soul! Are you cool? “Cool” is an all-purpose word, used to describe a certain attitude. Instead of defining it, let me illustrate it. I was attending a repast at a family ...read more

  • Snakes, Scorpions, And The Spirit Series

    based on 66 ratings
     | 17,236 views

    Jesus’ parable helps parents distinguish between the needs and the wants of their children, and teaches us how to invest attention in them.

    Several years ago a mother wrote to “Dear Abby”: “Dear Abby, My son is in jail for running his mouth at a cop. They’ve given him one phone call a day, and he’s calling home to ask us to bring him things. His dad has gone over there with whatever he has wanted: two Big Macs on Monday, a pizza on ...read more

  • Selective Memory Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 27, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 13,032 views

    We use selective memory either to remember only pleasant things (denial) or only negative things (pessimism). God’s memory is an occasion of grace, for which we can be grateful.

    The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. Isn’t that ironic? The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. That could be due to several things. That could be ...read more

  • Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003
    based on 101 ratings
     | 18,690 views

    Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

    Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more

  • Why Do You Ask? Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,813 views

    Neither conservatives nor liberals are really interested in learning; all want their opinions confirmed. Jesus teaches us how to deal with both by asking questions to test the argumentative spirit, to test honesty, and to get people to listen to their ow

    Some folks want their religion to confirm everything they’ve already committed to, but other folks want, or say they want, a religion that will challenge to change. And there isn’t much common ground between these two types. Or is there? Some folks want their religion to confirm everything ...read more

  • If You ... You Might Be

    Done in "Jeff Foxworthy" style: If your religion is all in the head, if you think your good deeds mask your sin, you may be a lost person.

    Jesus said some very tough things. He could be very demanding, very harsh. Jesus could also be funny. He didn’t draw back from using humor if it would make his point. He was tough! He was blunt! He minced no words! And so if your image of Jesus is Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ”, bland and ...read more

  • It Was A Setup Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 30, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,146 views

    We set ourselves up for failure if we are afraid to risk using all we have been given, if we are shy about our average-ness, and especially if we are ashamed of our poverty. Sermon for Martin Luther King Sunday

    On one of our trips to Louisville to see about my mother-in-law, we stayed at a motel right next to a Baptist church. It happened to be a church which had been started as a mission congregation by my home church back when I was a teenager. I told Margaret that I remembered that vacant lot between ...read more

  • I Never Saw That Coming

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 2, 2003
    based on 53 ratings
     | 9,685 views

    As a nation we are being blindsided by things that destroy us. Yet if we were to look more carefully and see Jesus at work in all things, we would learn to be wholistic, we would identify with the needy, and we would deal with both the physical and the s

    Have you ever been blindsided? Something happened, but you never even saw it coming? The snow, for instance. After several mild winters, did you think we would be hit by repeated snowstorms? Did you see that coming? I didn’t. I laid out seven super Sundays of sermons on the churches ...read more

  • Getting Real With Your Self Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 9, 2003
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,936 views

    Lenten series based on Mark 14 and Jesus’ encounters: Jesus was so comfortable with Himself that He could encounter threatening people without being threatened; could correct hostile people without being destructive; and could receive the heart of a tortu

    We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes – This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, ...read more

  • Getting Real With God Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 16, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 6,954 views

    Jesus showed how to get real, in prayer, with God: He admitted His true feelings; He told God what He really wanted; and He enlisted His imperfect friends as companions for the journey.

    “Yes, God is Real” Don’t you like singing that song? You sing that with relish! So do I! “Yes, God is real, real in my soul.” We believe that. That’s our faith. Or is it? Do we truly believe that God is real? If we believe it, why do we play games with God? Why do we hide ...read more

    Funeral service for Marcia Jean Tucker, single mother and immigration officer.

    Our third-grade teacher was very concerned about our posture. Day after day she would command her students to watch their posture. “Sit with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor; don’t slump in your seat.” “Stand erect, with your weight equally distributed on both feet; ...read more

  • Getting Real With Your Friends Series

    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,643 views

    Jesus used the principle of understanding our weaknesses but trusting our possibilities in order to transform people-pleasers into persons of integrity, ambition into selfless commitment, and immaturity into responsibility.

    History is full of stories of betrayal. Those who look like friends sometimes turn on you. Friendship means nothing to people who are bent on preserving privileges or feeding ambitions. Some of us have friends who would sell us for even less than Judas’ thirty pieces of silver if they ...read more

  • Getting Real With Your Enemies Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,927 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    We need to look at people not through the worlds eye’s but through God’s eye’s

    Looking through Gods Eyes By Pastor Joe Bachman 11/28/2004 How many times have we heard this statement? You need to look at things and people the way God looks at them. You have heard people say just ask yourself wwjd What would Jesus Do? Or when some one does something to you people tell you ...read more
