  • Caged Courage Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 2, 2008
     | 4,246 views

    We can unleash our courage if we know who we are and what we are about, and if we have a proper perspective on our relationships.

    Most of God’s creatures are in some sort of cage. Animals that appear to run wild are not all that free; they have migratory patterns and other restraints on where they can go. They are caged, even when that cage is not visible. And what that cage does to their courage! The birds of the air, ...read more

  • Legions Lost, Language Loosed Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 9, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,165 views

    If we are captured by a demonic past, then we will try to break our chains and will seem to succeed. But the old demons come back to haunt us, for we have not yet turned to the One who gives permission to send them away.

    She drifted into my office on a stormy afternoon, much like those we’ve just gone through. She had no appointment, nor did she even ask if I had time to talk. She just drifted in and hovered over my desk, tears in her eyes, lip quivering. I invited her to sit down and tell me what was wrong. ...read more

  • A Different Kind Of Hope

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 18, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,204 views

    Funeral sermon for Andrea Pitts, who had instructed this preacher a few days before her death about the ways in which she felt hope.

    The message this morning is not just about Andrea Pitts. It comes from Andrea Pitts. I bring no eulogy, but rather a report, a report that proclaims the truth of Christ in the midst of suffering from the very lips of a woman who embraced her death and lived her hope. The words today are not so ...read more

  • It Is Not A Nothing Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 21, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,880 views

    We excuse everything with "I don’t care", but when we see the eyes of those we have offended and hear them speak, we know that we have hurt them. When we see Christ and hear Him at the cross, we can no longer pretend that we don’t care.

    I “I don’t care.” That was the mechanism I used as a boy to fend off whatever punishment my parents gave. “You’re grounded.” “I don’t care”. “No allowance this week.” I don’t care.” And, to tell the truth, I didn’t care. I would just go to some quiet corner and get a book and read. I was ...read more

  • Dropped Cloths Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2008
    based on 17 ratings
     | 10,092 views

    The young man who lost his linen cloth and ran away naked may be a wealthy person, depending on status; or Lazarus, living in the past, or Mark, caught in immaturity. But He who dropped another linen cloth gives life.

    Not too many years ago, Easter was the day on which everyone trotted out new clothes. It was on Easter that spring dresses sprung off the racks for young girls, and starched collars irritated the necks of young men. I don’t miss the starched collars, but I do rather miss the elaborate display of ...read more

  • From The Very Least

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,585 views

    Done as first-person, in costume and character, summary of Paul’s teaching; built on acronym of the name PAUL -- prayer, avoidance (of immorality), understanding, love. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. As an apostle, charged to preach the Gospel, I am here today to say to you ... What?! You challenge me? You challenge my right to speak? Am I not an apostle?! Am I not, though born at the wrong time, nonetheless one whom ...read more

  • First Thank God Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,816 views

    Initial sermon of interim pastorate. As Paul lived into relationship with God prior to theologizing, I thank God for the faithfulness in the congregation’s history; for mutual enrichment in its diversity; and for coming victory when no one need be ashame

    God is not a problem to be solved. God is a mystery with whom we are to live. God is not an equation to be worked out in mathematical precision; God is personal, with whom we connect. God is a who, a where, and a when -- acting, living, and doing; and if God is sometimes a what and a why, an ...read more

  • Getting On God's Agenda

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 16, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,100 views

    God’s agenda is to give freedom to the oppressed, and He will not be stopped. But our disobedience can frustrate Him. The church needs to get on God’s agenda quickly.

    A little book called “Kids’ Letters to Pastors” provides some fertile ground this morning for us to begin thinking about getting on God’s agenda. You see, you and I know the words we are supposed to say, whether we mean them or not. But kids say what they think, without editing. And so I suspect ...read more

  • Do You Really Want To Follow Jesus?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,323 views

    We need to distinguish between needs and wants. Poverty can help us decide what we truly need; then we become eager to make happen what we truly want. Our relationship to God determines our priorities. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Some things I need, it is true. But many of the things I think I need I do not truly need. I only want them, but persuade myself I need them. They are not needs; they are wants. And, deeper than that, many of the things I think I want I do not truly want. I just hope they will make me feel ...read more

  • Second Chance In Christ Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 21, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,083 views

    Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

    “We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

  • Three Coins In The (Spirit) Fountain Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 28, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,495 views

    Everyone wants fulfillment. Some try being good, but that only brings smugness. Some try religion, as Luther did, but that brings only busy-ness. Life and peace are found in the Spirit of God as our companion.

    When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want out of life, one answer keeps coming back over and over: I want meaning. I want significance. I want fulfillment. When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want for my life, I know that the accumulation of things is not it. These ...read more

  • Let The Redeemed Say So

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 20, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,775 views

    Thanksgiving message preached at National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC. The Psalmist gives us insight to value the gifts of salvation, deliverance, life, and quiet.

    Quickly now, how many more shopping days until Christmas? I am not sure either, but I am confident that by the end of this week the stores will be reminding us that we have only a limited amount of time to sacrifice at the Temple of Target or the Shrine of Sears. How many of you, this coming ...read more

  • Knee Deep In Sheep

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 10, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,436 views

    For Advent III, preached at First Baptist of Gaithersburg, MD. "We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep, it is joy we reap". God in Christ transforms the ordinariness of everyday, humdrum life.

    We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Did you get all that? Too many rhyming words? Ah, but every one of them is important. Listen again: we may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Now you ...read more
