Contributed by Ralf Bergmann on Sep 8, 2004

The Cry Of Loneliness

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Mar 29, 2005

Jesus cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!” is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible moment of the crucifixion of Jesus. When sin invaded His life and the Father walked away!

Blessed Is The Nation... Part 1

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 17, 2003

We’ve gone a long ways away from our roots as Americans. So, one of my goals is to do a little bit of educating. People need to know this, & if they don’t hear it at church, where will they hear it?

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Much of this sermon and the following one, "Blessed Is the Nation...Part 2," came from books by David Barton, and excerpts from other sermons. At the time I prepared this sermon I was much more ...read more

"The Argument Of Authenticity" Series

Contributed by Keith Bunch on Mar 8, 2003

We are confronted with the same group of false apostles as Paul was in his day : Those who seek to dispute the Inerrancy, Infallibility, and Divine Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures; and in so doing, seek to lead us away from the Truth of God’s Word

PAUL’S CERTIFICATION. (Vv. 11-12) As Paul defended his apostleship in (v. 1), he now defends his message. Paul says that the Gospel he preaches is not intended to please men (tickle ears), nor is it of human origin. It could not be of man because it did not come to him from a man, but from a ...read more

Christ Our Universal King

Contributed by William Baeta on Nov 29, 2000

Lesson 11: Be Wary Of Addiction Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 28, 2010

Is there something in your life that if it was taken away your life could not go on? Is there something you just can't stop doing? You may be addicted. In fact, even many Christians are addicted to something they are not even aware of - the flesh. How to

What's your addiction? I know that's a pretty strong statement but I want us to think about that. Put another way, what controls you? What can you not do without? What, if taken away, would mean your life was over? You might say "I'm not addicted to anything!" If that's true, then halleluiah. But ...read more

Are You Connected?

Contributed by James May on Dec 4, 2005

If our light is to shine for Jesus then we need to stay connected to Him as our source of power and turn on the switch to allow the Holy Spirit to shine through us. We are only reflections of His glory if we keep the clouds of sin away.

ARE YOU CONNECTED? By Pastor Jim May As I walked into the church this morning before the sun arose, I entered into a very dark building. Just as any of you would have done, the first thing I looked for was a light switch. Flipping that switch made all the difference in being able to walk ...read more

The Prayer Of Sorrow Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 5, 2006

Why would Jesus pray to have the "cup" taken away, if He knew that wasn’t going to happen? Was His prayer simply an excercise in futility, or was there something more to it? I learned some surprising truths as I prepared this sermon.

OPEN: A minister noticed a young boy kneeling off to the side of the room after youth group and praying very fervently. As the preacher came within earshot of the boy, he was surprised to hear the boy saying: "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." After the boy finished his praying the preacher approached him ...read more

Who Are The John The Baptists Today

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Dec 7, 2008

We all need John the Baptist’s in our lives, who call us away from unGodly things to God and to His new life. This sermon explores who and what are John the Baptist’s in our lives today

God is calling us to life. And often I think God has some strange ways of calling us to life. In today’s Gospel reading we see that He uses John the Baptist one of the most famous characters of the bible. To call me and you to a new life with Jesus. Now when I think of life I don’t ...read more

Lost Things

Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Sep 24, 2007

We are unhappy if we lose something precious and really glad when we find it again. God is sad when we wander away from him, but really happy when we let him lead us home again.

I really enjoy doing jigsaws – when I get the time, that is. Does anyone else here like jigsaws? What’s the biggest jigsaw you’ve ever done? The biggest one I’ve ever done is 1000 pieces.
