    "The Gift Of Faith” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 6, 2011
     | 4,097 views

    Through the Advent of Christ, we have been given the gift of faith.

    Something that consumes us at Christmas is giving and receiving gifts. The tradition of giving gifts is tied to the wise men who came bearing gifts for the Christ child. So we exchange gifts at Christmas. But often, the gifts we exchange do not meet our expectations. A woman was asked by her ...read more

    This sermon asks the question, Who Is Jesus? It is a great foundational message about Jesus.

    I heard some time ago that when Vince Lombardi was the coach of the Green Bay Packers that he stood before the team the day after a tough game and spoke to the men. These seasoned men had been playing the game of football nearly their entire lives. They know the gridiron and how to play the game. ...read more

    New life is found, not by trying, but by trusting.

    Today, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This claim is unique to the Christian faith. In his book, Evidence That Demands A Verdict, Josh McDowell says: All but 4 of the major world religions are based on philosophical propositions. Among the 4 based on personalities rather than ...read more

    God created the world in perfect order. When God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth, 61 Messianic prophesies were fulfilled. What are the odds?

    The 39 books of the Old Testament were written over the course of 1500 years, starting with the creation of the universe and ending about 400 years before the coming of Jesus Christ. To better understand Jesus Christ, in God’s perfect process, I think it’s a good reminder to look at where he came ...read more

    Ture wisdom only comes from God. And as we gain more wisdom our faith becomes stronger. We want to serve God and we have a desire to know Him. And the more we know Him, the more we love Him.

    I read once of a man who was lost in the desert, just dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack – a ramshackled, windowless, roofless, weather beaten old shack. He looked around and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about ...read more

    The fullness of time came more than two thousand years ago. A tiny baby came into a grim and dark world bringing light to all mankind, a light that still invites men to come into the warmth of God’s grace and find there peace, and hope, and love.

    The Story of Christmas 12/21/08 AM Text: Matthew 1:18-25 Introduction: For many today, Christmas is just a holiday; a stressful one at that. It’s a time for buying gifts that didn’t need to be bought out of a budget that couldn’t afford them. It’s a time for squeezing parties and extra events into ...read more

    Why did John write the letter of 1 John?

    It's become very popular in our day for people to describe themselves as "spiritual." What this usually means is they're open to anything and everything. And in this day, where truth is seen as purely subjective, for a person to be "spiritual" can mean almost anything. This has led to confusion. A ...read more

    Some people today still doubt whether Jesus really rose from His death. This sermon responds to some of their arguments biblically and logically.

    Today Christians around the world celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus. Three days after Jesus died, He rose again. This event never happened to anybody else. The Bible recorded some people who lived again after someone prayed for them, like the son of a widow in Zarephath (1 Kings 17), ...read more

    Well, it’s another Easter Sunday. This one Sunday of the year has come to be associated with people dressing up in extra nice clothes, egg hunts, family gatherings, and time off from work.

    HoHum: When times are hard, I have trouble praying. When that happens, I go walking in a deserted place and talk with the Lord while I walk. This seems to help. On these walks I am able to open myself up to the Lord, express myself. “He walks with me and he talks with me and He tells me I ...read more

    Mary and Elizabeth had a surprise from God. Both became expectant mothers. It was part of God's ultimate plan to reclaim His creation from the grasp of Satan, after the failure in Eden. At Bethlehem God launched a mighty counteroffensive that started with a tiny baby boy named Jesus.
