    Face-To-Face With Your Maker

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 27, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,672 views

    What will it be like to see God face-to-face? Isaiah does, and notes a pattern for us: we need to experience God's glory, sense our own unworthiness, receive God's cleansing, and respond to God's call. Then, we walk in fellowship with the God who made us.

    Isaiah 6:1-8 Face-to-Face with Your Maker Prepare to meet your maker! Have you ever wondered what it will be like to see God face-to-face? The ancient prophet Isaiah actually had occasion to do so, and he didn’t die. God gave him a vision that would forever change him. As I looked at Isaiah’s ...read more

    Down But Not Out!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 3, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,110 views

    When it comes to suffering, Paul calls us to forsake pity parties and glorify God. We can remember that Jesus shines through us, that our weaknesses glorify God, that we may be down but never out, and that our sufferings may bring eternal life to others.

    2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Down but Not Out! A Christian need never suffer. At least that’s what some preachers might tell you. However, that is not the message of scripture. Jesus said, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20). We should expect no better treatment than that ...read more

    The Devil Made Me Do It!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,716 views

    Adam and Eve show us what NOT to do when it comes to sin. Instead of trying to hide from God and shift the blame, confess your sin to God, repent of your wrong by turning back to God, and receive God's total forgiveness. Only then will you find peace.

    Genesis 3:8-15 The Devil Made Me Do It! After reviewing their finances, a husband and wife decided it was time to tighten up, to spend less and save more. A day later, the wife was out shopping and found the dress of her dreams. It cost way too much, but she had to have it. When she showed it to ...read more

    Lessons From The Father Of A Nation

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 17, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,612 views

    From the story of Samuel anointing David as future king, we learn to obey God (which impacts others), to never stop learning, and to cultivate character. (Used as Father's Day sermon.)

    1 Samuel 15:34 - 1 Samuel 16:13 Lessons from the Father of a Nation This Father’s Day I thought it would be interesting to learn from the Father of a nation. We usually look at today’s story from the perspective of David, but why not see it through Samuel’s eyes? Samuel, in essence, is the father ...read more

    The End

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 14, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,058 views

    We see three responses to Jesus' death: despair, deliberation from a distance, and conversion. Which group do you most identify with? The cross confronts us with a decision.

    Luke 23:44-49 The End Have you ever felt like you’re at a dead end? Like you didn’t really know how to go forward? Maybe you were in a dead-end relationship. Or a dead-end job. Or a dead-end health prognosis. It can be a very hard place to be. Today we’re going to start at the end. But don’t ...read more

    The Beginning

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,334 views

    On Good Friday, all hope was lost. Yet, Easter Sunday brought hope, forgiveness, and life to all who would choose Jesus as Lord. He is risen, and he rises us to new life as well!

    Luke 24:1-12 The Beginning Nature’s seasons remind us of the seasons of life. There is spring, where new growth is popping up out of the earth. The wild flowers are so pretty this time of year in South Texas. There is summer, and later fall, which here is like a slightly milder form of summer. ...read more

    Wrestling With God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 6, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 25,478 views

    There are moments in life that change us forever. Today's story looks at the second of two such moments in Jacob's life, where he wrestled with God in prayer and in pride, and was forever changed.

    Genesis 32:22-31 Wrestling with God Have you ever had a pivotal moment in your life that has forever changed you? For me, one such moment was the day I joined the military. I felt like God wanted me to do something truly significant with my life, and that decision forever changed me. In the life ...read more

    The Pain Of Betrayal

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 13, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,434 views

    The story of Joseph is a story of betrayal by those closest to you. But it is also a story of how God will see you through, no matter what you face, and how God can bring good out of the worst possible situation.

    Genesis 37:2-4, 12-28 The Pain of Betrayal Boy, does it hurt when someone betrays you! As the anonymous saying goes, “The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies.” We went through a painful experience in one of my churches. A small group was full of people ...read more

    Heart Trouble

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 16, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,924 views

    In his parable of the sower and the seed, Jesus shows us various kinds of spiritual heart trouble. From the story, we learn to share our faith indiscriminately, trust God to bring the growth, and cooperate with God in the growth he wants to bring in us.

    Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23 Heart Trouble Have you ever wondered why some seem to embrace God’s good news of salvation and others don’t? Have you ever wondered why God sends people to hell? Or maybe they send themselves there, as they reject the God who desires that all people be saved. Jesus used a ...read more

    When There Is No Hope

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 20, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 32,090 views

    God shows Ezekiel a valley of dry bones. And through his vision, we learn to not limit what God can do, to speak life into the lives of others, to allow God's Spirit to fill us, and to give God the glory when he replaces our hopelessness with hopefulness.

    Ezekiel 37:1-14 When There is No Hope The prognosis is specific: there is no hope. The relationship is irreparably damaged: there is no hope. The depression wraps around you like a thick blanket of fog: there is no hope. Yet, today’s scripture suggests that, in the most hopeless of cases, God is ...read more

    Living Life The Way God Intended

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,467 views

    When we become a Christian, not only does Christ take away our sin, we identify with him, in death to our old ways, resurrection power to affect change, and life in a whole new way.

    Colossians 3:1-10 Living Life the Way God Intended When you become a believer, you adopt a whole new set of values. You realign your life to live God’s way instead of Satan’s way. You say, “God, you know better than I do how I should live my life.” We’ve been in a short mini-series in the book of ...read more

    Searching For Solid Ground

     | 4,448 views

    Jesus says if we listen to his teachings and obey them, we’ll weather any and all storms that come our way. Why? Why do His words have this power?

    Searching for Solid Ground In 1174 the Italian architect Bonnano Pisano began work on what would become his most famous project: A separately standing bell tower for the Cathedral of the city of Pisa [Show pics]. The tower was to be eight-stories and 185-foot-tall tall. There was just one ...read more
