    Everything Is Ready

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 305 views

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more

     | 323 views

    Celebrate the joy of reunion and the hope of heaven! This inspiring message points us to Christ’s promise of an eternal homecoming and challenges us to be ready with our names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

    The Greatest Homecoming of All Text: Revelation 21:27 (KJV) And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,702 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Run To The Father

    Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Nov 10, 2025
     | 53 views

    No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or how often you stumble, God calls you to run to Him. There is freedom, joy, and restoration waiting. And the most beautiful part? He runs to meet you, carries you if needed, and celebrates your return.

    Run to the Father Grace to you peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ! Dear brothers and sisters! Today we are going to explore running to the Father. I want you to imagine something with me. Picture a child playing far from home, distracted by everything around — maybe chasing a ...read more

     | 4,091 views

    To embrace the uncertainties of life, enjoy the good days, grow in the bad days, but trust God every day.

    In his book In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, Mark Batterson writes about a vacation he took with his family to Orlando, Florida: One morning they were sitting at a stoplight in their rental van. The light turned green, and the car in front of us didn't go, so Mark decided to give them a ...read more

    based on 51 ratings
     | 3,269 views

    Have you ever thought that your "on time" expectations were better than God’s? If you have, then discover the joy that God’s "on time" answers are always worth the wait.

    Title: “Gods “ON TIME” answers are worth the wait!” Date: June 16th, 2002 Year: Fourth Sunday after Pentecost When in life do things take place at the right time? Not too often, right? It is more often that when you need something it will not be ready for you at the right time. Have you ever said ...read more

    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,339 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    1. (with emphasis) Psa 30:11-12 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.

    A Time To Dance

    Funeral sermon for Vera Byars, court information specialist and amateur dancer. Ballroom, minuet/ballet, tap -- whatever style she used, it all witnessed to a life of joy. This is not any longer a time to mourn.

    I agree with the Scripture, where it says that, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” I agree with that, because we know that some things are fine, in their place, but they are not appropriate in other places. There is a time and a season for everything, ...read more

    Don't Worry, Turn To God Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,096 views

    Worry kills us, it destroys our joy and takes many things from our lives. Let’s study today what God’s word has to tell us in light of this.

    So what does God’s word tell us about this preoccupation many of us have with worrying? Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? ...read more

    We have first hand testimony in the epistles of John; the kind that would be accepted in any court of law; of the incarnate existence of Jesus Christ. John proclaims him to us for the sake of our joy and fellowship

    -and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us – WHAT WAS FROM THE BEGINNING Y’know what I like about the Bible?

    A Proven Strategy For Increasing Your Happiness Series

    Contributed by Dave Weidlich on Apr 21, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,510 views

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” The findings of "Positive Psychology" researchers are remarkably similar to what the Bible teaches about finding happiness.

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” That’s what it said in the book I pulled from the bookstore shelf, You Gotta Keep Dancin’. The subtitle really intrigued me. It said, "In the midst of life’s hurts, you can choose joy!" Well I wasn’t very ...read more

    The love of money never satisfied a soul. The best it ever did was to entertain for a little while. The love of God fills us with love for others. The love of God brings with it real, abiding, lasting, and enduring joy.

    Learning To Be Content, I Timothy 6:6-10 Introduction Here in America we are taught from birth that if we work hard enough we can have the all American dream; a big house with a two car garage, the man or woman of our dreams, 1 cat, 1 dog and 2.5 children.
