Christmas Hope

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023

If we don’t allow the hustle and bustle of the world’s hectic race to find the perfect gift, and if we step back and look at the real reason we celebrate, our hearts are happier. We smile more. Hopefully we get a little bit closer to those we love, not always, but we can hope for that.

Can you believe it? It seems like yesterday that we were in the advent season. For those that may not know what Advent is, Advent is the 4 Sundays after Thanksgiving that lead up to Christmas day. This year there are actually 5 Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. So, our Advent ...read more

Jabez Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 28, 2014

As I explored our two line story today – which is a short message with a big idea - I paid attention to the meaning of Jabez’s name which to me became important to get a little background on this man’s life. So let’s look for a moment at the meaning of his name.

Series: Unsung Heroes Sermon: Jabez Scripture Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10: 9Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my ...read more

The Injustices Of Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022

Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

El Elyon

Contributed by Riaan De Villiers on Oct 25, 2007

A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I’m Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter." Her mother told her "don’t tell people that say" "I’m Jane Sugarbrown." The pastor spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, "Aren’t you Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter?"

Now brothers how many of you have sons. You see I only have two daughters..I only wished for a son...but now you men here today who have sons, don’t most of you stick out your chest a little more about your son, are your proud of him and his achievement?

God's Rescue Of Righteous Jabez

Contributed by Chuck Brocka on Oct 18, 2000

From Ruinous Restraint to a Radiant Recovery (I Chronicles 4:9-10) Now the reputation of Jabez rose above the respect of his refined relatives: however his mother had little regard as she rather underrated him, relegating him to the rank of wretchedness by referring to him as a remorseful Jab

The Guy With The Donkey

Contributed by Larry Elder on Jul 14, 2003

Actually all of us have a donkey. Each of us have things in our life if given back to God, would help carry Jesus to another place. What is it that you have, a song, a hug, an idea or just a little time? Maybe you can write a big check or teach a greatles

Faith

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

A few weeks ago I spoke to you about faith...and I gave you each a mustard seed to illustrate just how small a measure of faith was really needed to perform all the things God has for you to do...just that little bit of faith can move mountains!

The Seven Trumpets Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 23, 2010

There’s a saying that we should have an “attitude of gratitude”. We all know that even in the worst of times we have at least some little thing to be grateful for, but our nature is to focus on the things that are wrong. I am telling you that when we choo

Week Three Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 15, 2021

Self examination is not intended as a form of self punishment, but a redirection of our love to God for what He did for us through the cross. It’s meant as a guidepost to living like “little Christs” in this world so we can be a blessing to those who may never consider His saving grace.

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.

Who Cares About Cattle? Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

We have here a valuable insight into God's tenderness. Some may feel that preaching on cattle and God's concern for animals is irrelevant, and unworthy of pulpit time. If that be so, you only reveal how little you know of what God has revealed about Himself.

Henry Bergh was the founder of the American Humane Movement, which about one hundred and thirty years ago brought about the first child protective laws in this country. He drew attention to the case of Mary Ellen who was beaten, and the chained by her parents. This led to laws being passed. Very ...read more

Contributed by Paul Davidson on May 20, 2016

Let's take a look at 3 Old Testament characters... King Saul, Jonathan, and Jonathan's armor bearer. Let's think about their behaviors and be a little introspective... which traits do I exhibit in my own life? In my own walk with the Lord?

Miracles For Moses Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021

God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

(Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard. ...read more
