    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,873 views

    This sermon shows that we must make ourselves vulnerable in order to worship God.

    Bowing is the act of lowering the head, or sometimes the entire upper body from the waist, as a social gesture. It exists now and has existed in various cultures at various periods in history. Different cultures have placed varying degrees of importance on bowing, and have used bowing in a variety ...read more

    Many are going through difficult times and struggling with major issues: health, or finances, besetting sins, family matters, or a myriad of other battles. There’s hope - don’t lose heart.

    DOWN BUT NOT OUT 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not ...read more

    A balanced life can open us to experience the abundant life that God has promised to us. Slowing down is one step in achieving and maintaining a balanced life.

    The times, like those of post-Exilic Jerusalem, require us to wait. Will it be passive, impassive, or active waiting? Active waiting means seeing that what God has done He will do again. God will enlist us and shape us to work for His purposes.

    “We wait. We are bored. No, don’t protest, we are bored to death, there’s no denying it. … A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste . . . .In an instant all will vanish and we’ll be alone once more, in the midst of nothingness!” So speaks one of the characters in Samuel ...read more

    Jesus--the radical rebel that he is--continually turns our world upside down. He questions our assumptions and challenges our goals and our definitions of success.

    TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST NOVEMBER 8, 2009 Mark 12:38-44 “Upside Down” INTRODUCTION One of the questions that parents dread to hear asked them by their children is, “Why?’ This simple question challenges our assumptions and our preconceived ideas. If forces us to ask questions that ...read more

    Often we believe that a particular situation or plan we have is ready to be implemented. Actually, it is not always the proper timing. God knows when you are ready and when it fits into His plan for our lives.

    I ended up at the mall. I don’t know why I chose the mall, but it seemed like a logical place to go. I just stormed out of the house, got into my car and started driving. I had only been in town a few months and really didn’t know anywhere else to go. I had to get away from all my ...read more

    Down But Not Out!

     | 17,089 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

    What a terrible position to be in, when we find ourselves dangerously positioned higher than Christ. This is when Jesus challenges us to Come On Down.

    TITLE: COME ON DOWN SCRIPTURE: ST. LUKE 19:1-10 I am reminded of a game show that has been televised since 1956 entitled THE PRICE IS RIGHT.

    Life has a tendency to get us all BOGGED DOWN in our busyness and responsibilities. God has a plan. Let us lift each others arms to V-I-C-O-R-T-Y!

    People who hate to wait suffer from what he calls “Hurry Sickness,” which he defines as “an increased sensitivity to the passage of time.”

    TITLE: SLOW DOWN SCRIPTURE: EPHESIANS 5:15-16 I came across an article about a real problem that is afflicting most people in the 21st century. It is called “Hurry Sickness.” Hurry Sickness, first diagnosed in the late 1950s, has reached epidemic proportions. So, I thought this would be a good ...read more
