    A homeless man walks into a bar. What would you do? (Sermon based on TV show What Would You Do? , the episode centering on the treatment of the homeless.)

    Show video from You Tube “WWYD? - No shoes, no shirt, no pants, no service!” I cannot watch this video without being overcome by emotions. I am forced to ask myself “What would I do?” Would I have been one of the many to sit and watch as this person is cast out of the bar? Would I have turned my ...read more

    Sadducees disagreed--with nearly everybody. They had their version of the Torah, much like the Samaritans. So the question must be asked; want to argue or be "all in" the service of our God?

    Message November 10, 2013 All In A man opens his eyes and realizes he’s in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates. Immediately St. Peter said, “It’s not so easy getting into heaven. There are some criteria to be met before entering. “For example,” Peter said, ...read more

     | 5,410 views

    As we look at what it means to be a Christian the first fundamental issue we will look at is selflessness.

    Selflessness: Fundamentals July 11, 2010 Luke 9:23-27 Intro: One of the purposes of a sabbatical is to get some space from the day-to-day demands, to “step back” and gain some different perspectives, and to return with something new to offer. First I want to say “thank ...read more

    Guiltless Grief

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 22, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,763 views

    We can deal with grief if we allow ourselves to recognize its complexity, if we accept the love of caring friends, and if we permit God to use the grief to change us.

    They stood at the gravesite, looking at the flower-covered casket of their father. The committal service had been over for ten or fifteen minutes. Everyone else had gone back to the cars. But the two sisters stood there, lingering long, staring into space. Their faces were masks: no emotions, no ...read more

     | 8,472 views

    Annual Theme sermon for 1989. Some of us have entered the fold by the back doors, for all the wrong reasons. We need to get that right, and then obey the Lord's invitation to bring others to the only door to the only fold.

    One day as we/were here in the church building we heard a loud banging noise, as if somebody were trying to get inside the building. It was an insistent loud knocking, but at first we couldn't find out where it was coming from. Our secretary went down the hallway to the door on the alley, but it ...read more

    I read an article recently that described different types of churches as ships. One definition of the word vessel is a type of boat or ship. There are many types of vessels. And some of these vessels can be compared to different types of churches we see out there.

    When the church looks like what Jesus created the church to look like the church will accomplish what Jesus designed the church to accomplish.

    The Church is Born… The last verse of the passage that we studied together last week described the birth of the Church—ACTS 2:41.

    Inside Out: Worry Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jan 28, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,651 views

    Fear is a healthy emotion. Fear can protect us…often from ourselves, but an unguarded fear only causes us anxiety, or worry. Worry is incredibly unhealthy. This message focuses on overcoming worry.

    Fear is one of the characters personified in the mind of Riley Anderson in the film Inside Out. Fear is portrayed as a tall, lanky, lavender skinned character with a long nose and a penchant for wearing magenta bow ties and purple slacks. He is at one and the same time, fearful, nervous, timid, ...read more

    Foregoing Our Rights Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 8, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,315 views

    Paul did not use his rights because of his concern for the witness of the Gospel and the welfare of the people he is reaching out to.

    Everyone has rights. We can stand up for our rights. We ask for what we deserve. • Yet it is not always necessary for us to do so. There are times when we need to forego legitimate rights for a higher good. I came across what was trending two days ago – “Don’t Treat Us Like We Owe You a Living” – ...read more

    One thing the devil has been very successful at doing is taking something that God created, and using it for his own evil purpose.

    For example, God gave mankind the wisdom and the ability to produce television sets for our homes, to provide wholesome and godly programs to be a blessing to our families. But look how the devil has taken the “scum” of Hollywood to corrupt the minds of our families. The devil has used television ...read more

    Living Under Authority Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 2, 2022
     | 3,545 views

    We see the governing mandate, its mission and its means. Human authorities are used by God to achieve His sovereign purposes. We submit to Him and live as good citizens.

    I am not sure if you noticed this, we are always living under some kind of authority in life. • As children, we live under the authority of our parents. In schools, our teachers. At work, our superiors. In church, pastors and leaders. As citizens, our government. • None of these authorities is ...read more
