Contributed by Darrin Hunt on Oct 9, 2001

This is a great passage on fellowship. If we’re going to grow warmer through fellowship, we need to follow these 10 commandments.

“The 10 Commandments of Fellowship” Rom. 12:9-21 Intro. Some kids were asked to write letters to God. Here’s what some of them had to say.

Sé Un Cristiano Todos Los Días De La Semana

Contributed by Andrew Schroer on Sep 23, 2001

Ser un cristiano embarca más que asistir a la iglesia los domingos. Es la lucha diaria para mostrar amor.

Hace ya nueve meses, enviamos unas postales anunciando la gran apertura de nuestra iglesia aquí en Doral. La primera postal que enviamos tenía la foto de una joven diciendo: “Cuando dejé de asistir a la iglesia de mis papás, pensé que nunca regresaría. Para mi la iglesia consistía solamente en ...read more

Be A 24/7 Christian

Contributed by Andrew Schroer on Sep 23, 2001

Being a Christian means a lot more than going to church on Sunday morning. God wants us to live our life of love 24/7.

Almost nine months ago, we sent out postcards announcing the opening of our church here in Doral. The first postcard that we sent out had the picture of a young woman on it who is quoted as saying: “When I walked out of my parent’s church, I never thought I’d walk back in. For me church was all ...read more

Living Between Two Worlds

Contributed by Jim Kane on Sep 23, 2001

What is the good word for today? God is in control!

Three years ago this past summer, one of the college students at my former congregation found out that he had a brain tumor.

Who's Pulling The Strings?

Contributed by Mike Flack on Mar 5, 2002

What it really means for Jesus Christ to control the life of a believer - the presentation of our bodies, the process of the renewing of our minds, and the performance of the Will Of God.

Who’s Pulling The Strings? (Have ready made a giant marionette frame (4’x6’ or larger) with rope through the control arms. As you begin, start to attach the ropes to your legs and arms making you a human marionette.) I remember that when I was seven, our WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD would all congregate ...read more

Love And Sacrifice, Part 1

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Feb 9, 2003

The twelfth chapter of Romans opens with one of the most powerful exhortations in the New Testament, as we are urged to offer our bodies as living sacrifices to God, refusing to be conformed to the world, but instead being transformed by the renewing of o

INTRODUCTION Opening Statement: In my reading this week, I came across a funny story that sets up our theme today. His name was Bud. He was a factory worker with more than a slight resemblance to Archie Bunker. Every single day he’d come home sweaty and dirty. He’d go in the back door, grab an ...read more

What Would Jesus Do ... About Enemies

Contributed by David Hughes on Feb 10, 2003

This sermon aims to help Christian teenagers (and adults) consider how they might respond to people who apparently take a disliking to them.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ... about enemies? I wonder if you have ever had, or even have now, someone who just doesn’t seem to like you and who would apparently do anything to get at you? We probably don’t want to have enemies, but they’re there anyway, so what do we do about them? Well, first, ask ...read more

Transformed Love Series

Contributed by Warren Bird on Feb 11, 2003

What is the nature of Christian love? It looks out for what is best; it persists; and it is practical.

Context/Reminder Romans 12:1-2 - the Christian mind is a transformed mind, not slipping easily into the same pattern as the world around us, but renewed by our relationship with our almighty and merciful God. Romans 12:3-8 - how that principle works out in the way we think about ourselves: ...read more

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Feb 24, 2003

Perhaps on Friday of this past week, you assured your valentine that you would climb high mountains to be near them; swim wide oceans to sit at their feet; cross burning deserts in the heat of day in order to sing love songs to them in the moonlight. But

Contributed by Mark Baker on May 10, 2005

The process and importance of bringing our thoughts under subjection to the Word of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to ...read more

Inertia: State Of Motion

Contributed by Roger Nelmes on Jan 29, 2008

The challenge I present to you today isn’t about scientific inertia, but rather spiritual inertia…and although today it is geared toward our young people, this principle relates to all of us.

Inertia: State of Motion Every body perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight ahead, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by forces impressed. [Cohen & Whitman 1999 translation] Definition: "… a body at rest will remain at rest and a body moving ...read more

Love is the final apologetic.
