    A Deadly Virus

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2010
     | 7,176 views

    Sin is not excused by good works, and unrepentant self-indulgence is destructive. Sexual integrity is not just a private matter; how we handle it will determine what happens with our church.

    This has the potential for being the shortest sermon I’ve ever done. At first glance, it seems all I need to do with this text is to praise the church for doing so well, declare myself to be against sin, and wrap it up. The shortest sermon I’ve ever done, and maybe the shortest on record! Anybody ...read more

    Every Barrier Down: Mary Magdalene

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 6, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,957 views

    Commitment to the living Christ will let Him break down circumstantial, cultural, and spiritual barriers to our success. Illustrated with the story of Marian Anderson.

    I think it was John Lennon, one of the Beatles, who once observed, "Life is what happens while you are making other plans." That really is the issue, isn't it? Getting a fix on our lives. Getting hold of life. Being able to make it go the way you want it to go. And the trouble is that life just ...read more

    Every Mother's Child Matters

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 7, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,957 views

    Sarah's me-ism blinded her to Ishmael's value; Abraham's comfort blinded him to how best to support Hagar and Ishmael; Hagar, like many of our mothers, had to trust God in the desert. We today must support the Hagars of this world.

    The barren landscape seemed to dance before her eyes, as she looked toward a horizon littered with debris, strewn with the rubbish of thousands of careless people who had gone this way. Filthy and dirty as it was, though, it seemed to dance before her eyes, for the sun was high above and hot; the ...read more

    Eyewitnesses Of Majesty

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 8, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,416 views

    We tend to see only what we expect to see, and thus at Christmas we do not see the glory and majesty of the Christ child in the homeless, the downtrodden, the ashamed.

    They say that "seeing is believing". Well, that depends. That depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more

    Doing More With Less

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,157 views

    In times of scarcity or stress, two personalities respond: fear, the cup half empty; and faith, the cup half full.

    A few moments ago we sang, "Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace." Those are beautiful words; they are lofty sentiments. But how? How can such things happen? In an ...read more

    Doubt, Dignity, And Discovery

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,651 views

    Often we are not credible because we do not accept others’ doubt as real, nor do we permit them to retain their dignity. We are called simply to invite them on a voyage of discovery where they will find that their hurts are healed.

    What do you do when you try to help, and those you are helping are not sure they want that help? What do you say when someone has a need, you propose an answer to that need, but they don’t believe that what you want to give will really do any good? How do you help people who are not sure they ...read more

    Driving Under The Influence

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 11, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,069 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
     | 7,056 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
     | 6,261 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

    Fear And Integrity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 25, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,025 views

    Done as three monologues: fear compromises integrity, and a compromised integrity breeds more fear.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 13, 1986 Human beings are creatures plagued with fears and insecurities. That we have clearly established, that we talked about in certain ways last week. Of course we are a great deal more than that too. We are vastly more than a bundle of ...read more

    Fear, Death, Life

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2010
     | 3,491 views

    It may seem strange to embrace death. But John could do so as he learned of fellow believers being killed, because he had a vision of the risen Christ as lord of life and death and even as lord of all human history.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 27, 1986 The picture is indelibly etched on my memory, I'm sure because at the time the incident seemed so bizarre, so peculiar. The scene was an elementary school talent show; all of us had been groomed and polished and persuaded that we had ...read more

    A Bookkeeping Nightmare

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 27, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,836 views

    Forgiveness is an act of understanding how much God has forgiven us; of the heart, making a changed spirit possible; and of the will, opening up all that God wants to do in us.

    Bone Weary

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 29, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,913 views

    Like Jeremiah, we get bone weary when we feel abandoned, when we are living out of tune with the times, and when we suppress the desire to live in integrity. But In Christ we see one who experienced all this but lives to give us new life.

    Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD, January 31, 1982; Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC September 22, 1985 There was a time when I did not really know what it meant to be tired. I still cherish the image of myself as tireless, limitless in energy, able to leap tall buildings ...read more

    Targeting God's Will

    Contributed by Joseph Rodgers on Oct 30, 2010

    People often ask the question - "How can I know God's will for my life?" This message addresses the key elements to understanding and discovering God's will.

    Choosing The Contentment Of A Canine

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Nov 3, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,902 views

    There is a major difference between cats and dogs, dogs are so much more content with their lives. This sermon shows us that we must rejoie in our trials, fears and persecution.

    CHOOSING THE CONTENTMENT OF A CANINE (All my sermons use illustration found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise stated.) The introduction for this sermon is from Max Lucado’s “Everyday Deserves a Chance” pg. 23-24 “Excerpts from the diary of a ...read more
