  • Getting It Right

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 17, 2002
    based on 40 ratings
     | 3,997 views

    Pulpit monologue-drama, in which "Solomon" describes how his father’s example influenced him negatively, but his father’s repentance redeemed him.

    “A wise child makes a glad father, but a foolish child is a mother’s grief.” Would you agree? I wrote that, you know. “Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.” Ah, but how do we train them? That is the question. Just by commands? Or do we train them by ...read more

  • Some Assembly Required

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 1, 2002
    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,104 views

    Designed for a day devoted to reclaiming inactive members, this sermon argues that the spiritual life is like a piece of equipment: unpack, read the instructions, assemble, plug in the power.

    Nothing you purchase comes ready to go. You can’t buy anything ready to use. Everything takes finishing and finagling before you can use it. You would think that when you have paid good money for your purchase, it would be ready. But not so. Something else always has to be done. You ...read more

    Being full of the Holy Ghost

    IT AIN’T OVER INTRO: Something happen on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ...read more

  • I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,033 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    based on 229 ratings
     | 73,705 views

    A look at the family aspects of church

    THE FAMILY OF GOD INTRO 1. One of the most important parts of the church is its family-like aspect 1 Tim. 3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. ...read more

  • Silence And Sin, Strength And Summer

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 14, 2002
    based on 37 ratings
     | 6,555 views

    Our lives have seasons like summer: heated, turbulent, conflicted. This is a result of unconfessed sin and of not listening to God’s priorities.

    Every season of the year has its joys and its challenges. But God has ordained them all for the benefit of His creation. And every season of our lives has its joys and its challenges. Yet again God has ordained all these for the benefit of His people. Every season of the year is ...read more

    Trying times ofetn serve to bring Revival and restoration.

    The Best Is Yet To Come TEXT: Ex 15:6-11 (KJV) 6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which ...read more

  • "Unselfish Love"

    Contributed by Gary Smith on Jul 27, 2002
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,044 views

    Unselfish love drives one to live as Christ would live and to deny the works of the flesh.

    Last week I stopped somewhere along in here. Tonight I want to go back for just a few minutes and pick up on the subject of Obedience. We we truly have an unselfish love, we will then be obedient in all things no matter what. No matter what the circumstances, good or bad. No matter the out look ...read more

  • We Have, They Need: Formula For Life Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 28, 2002
    based on 45 ratings
     | 7,198 views

    First of a series based on the Johannine letters: our response to overwhelming need is first of all a discovery of who we are; then a commitment to maximum effort; and finally a discovery of where our passion lies. This will energize us.

    I invite you today on an imaginary trip. Let’s walk through just one day in a needy world. Just imagine a few hours in a world that asks us for more than we can possibly give: You are awakened early by the phone’s insistent ringing; you hear the voice of a member of your family. He ...read more

  • Don't You Get Weary, Children Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 5, 2002
    based on 36 ratings
     | 4,918 views

    There are many thankless tasks we have to perform, of which, to some, church participation may be one. But God teaches us that if we do something out of love, it is not burdensome, and the Cross and Empty Tomb teach us that it is not futile.

    There sure are a lot of thankless tasks to be done. There certainly are a great many things that are immensely frustrating, because they just won’t stay done. Do you know what I mean? The kinds of jobs that you do and almost immediately you have to do them again? These are thankless ...read more

  • Arrows In The Hands Of A Warrior

    based on 67 ratings
     | 49,861 views

    Part of raising our children is learning to let them go.

    “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.” (Psalm ...read more

    based on 324 ratings
     | 86,025 views

    If our love the great enoough, then there will be a willingness to sacrifice the very best we have.

    Introduction: Unbelievers have always had a hard time figuring out the lifestyle of Christ’s disciples. When you think about it, you can understand their difficulty. They are guided by a life philosophy that promotes selfishness (the attitude that says, “You’ve gotta look out for ‘Number One’”), ...read more

  • Called To Be Saints

    based on 104 ratings
     | 25,279 views

    God has called us to be saints and to live lives of holiness.

    Introduction: There’s a story about two brothers who had terrorized the small town where they lived for decades. They were unfaithful to their wives, abusive to their children, and dishonest in business. They were loud, boisterous and just plain rude to nearly everyone. One day, out of the clear ...read more

    We are to get rid of childish traits while maintaining certain other childlike qualities.

    Introduction: You probably have heard that tonight is the start of our Vacation Bible School. Everyone has been working hard to get ready, and you can see the results of their work in the halls and in the classrooms. We would like to keep the children out of the classrooms, but if you adults ...read more

  • Dealing With Life's Dilemmas

    Contributed by Alan Smith on Aug 9, 2002
    based on 98 ratings
     | 14,425 views

    There are sometimes tough choices that we have to make in life.

    Introduction: I can appreciate the frustration Charlie Brown has in the Peanuts cartoons. Like the one where Lucy is philosophizing and Charlie is listening. As usual, Lucy has the floor, delivering one of her lectures. She says, "Charlie Brown, life is a lot like a deck chair. Some place it ...read more
