    Preparing to celebrate Christ’s coming in a hostile world. Five key principles that should characterize our lives.

    HOW TO BOIL A LIVE FROG 1 Peter 3: 13-17 1. An “urban legend” has been around for a long time that has excellent instructional value for us – even if biologists question the scientific veracity of the experiment. The theory states that you can boil a live frog in a pot of water, if the water is ...read more

    Discover the meaning of true, biblical hope in this message about the Magi and their journey to see the Christ child.

    “Footprints of Hope” Matthew 2:1-12 Let’s take our Bibles and locate Matthew 2…today we journey in the footprints of the Magi – “we three kings of Orient are” – the three wise men (by the way, none of those actual titles are true. There weren’t technically three and they weren’t kings. But more ...read more

    The Magi - their openness and responsiveness to God’s leading is an example for us today.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of year, don’t you think? The lights, the songs, the decorations… they all seem to add so much. And there are a lot of traditions and a lot of other things that have become a part of the whole Christmas experience. And there’s always such a build-up toward the big day, ...read more

    An introductory sermon to a series on the book of the Revelation.

    How do you recognize a masterpiece? Sometimes it’s not even easy for artists themselves to tell. There is an old legend of the famous abstract painter Picasso showing off his latest painting to the sculptor Rodin (The Thinker.) Rodin looked hard at the unsigned painting, then turned it one way, ...read more

    Your wallet reveals what is important in your life. What is in your wallet?

    What’s In Your Wallet? Part 1 – Let’s Make A Deal What’s in your wallet? A wallet is more than just an accessory or fashion statement. In reality I believe that if you examine a wallet carefully you can discover what is most important to a person. We tend to put our most valuable things in our ...read more

    I preach expository messages, and this is from my series on the book of Acts.

    “Mistaken Identities” Acts 14:8-18 December 16, 2007 (NOTE: I began my message with a slide show of "celebrity lookalikes", which can be easily found via a Google search.)

    Mary Magdalene Series

    Contributed by Jason Miller on Apr 19, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,264 views

    Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

    Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,830 views

    Jude's letter is a call to Christians to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. In today's lesson we see the invasion of false teachers.

    Scripture Several weeks ago I began a new series of studies on the Letter of Jude, which I have titled, “Contend for the Faith.” The Letter of Jude is an extremely important letter. It is extremely important because it is so relevant to our contemporary situation. Even though Jude ...read more

    Walking With God Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Feb 7, 2016
     | 11,979 views

    If there is one thing to summarize the message of 2 John, it’s walking with God. 2 John teaches us how to walk with Jesus and he’s does it in 300 words. And if we will take what John says and do it, we’ll experience "a joy that's complete."

    Walking with God Hannah Kaufold tells the story of signing up to lead a pilgrimage across northern Spain to visit the remains of one of Jesus’ BFFs: St. James. It was 500 miles long. She thought she was signing up for this cool adventure where she got to talk about Jesus and go for a long ...read more

    Two Things that Constrain Our Joy

    Legend holds that in 1884 a young man died, and after the funeral his grieving parents decided to establish a memorial to him.

    Set Your House In Order

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 30, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 18,624 views

    Many of us need an outside voice to tell us that our life is in DISORDER, are you listening? May be you can consider this devotion as a ‘voice from God’ pointing out the areas where you need repairs!

    Set your house in order Isaiah 38:1"Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'" This is an apt message for the year end, read it carefully and prayerfully! I have watched church leaders arriving late to open their church while the preacher ...read more

    Responding To Disappointments: A Star And A Stable (Epiphany)

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,083 views

    Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

    Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

    Mother’s Day 2018

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 11,763 views

    Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

    Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more
