    The Long-Prophesied Prince Of Peace

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 19, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,358 views

    The only way for us to have true peace is to say that we want to live like Christians and then act like we want to live as Christians. The only way that can happen is if we welcome the Prince of Peace into our lives with open arms.

    In our Old Testament reading today, we heard from someone that we rarely hear from during the church year-the prophet Micah. Like John the Baptist, Micah prepared the people for the coming of the Messiah. He did so through his prophetic words. His prophecy is a vision for a life lived in the divine ...read more

     | 29,518 views

    Why did God allow Israel to even be in slavery? And why did He allow it for so long? The answers to these questions tell us much about the chains God would free us from in our lives.

    (Props – 10 foot length of ¼ inch chain; a cross on stage that can handle the weight of the chain) OPEN: I once read the story of a marketplace in northern India where people brought their wares to trade and sell. One old farmer brought in a whole covey of quail that he caught. He hoped to ...read more

    How Long Has It Been

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 18, 2016
     | 6,581 views

    This sermon is about living a long time with issues and problems without asking God to intervene on our behalf. This sermon points us to the question of 1. Do we want to be healed 2. How long has it been since you reached out to Jesus.

    I reference these two scriptures and paraphrase the stories John 5:1-9 Mark 5:25 - 34 I. Both have been Sick a Long Time ( 38yrs & 12 yrs) 1. Two very different people with a similar situation 2. They aren¡¦t the only ones sick 3. They both have been trying to get better they want a ...read more

    Hebrew Christians 2000 years ago were reminded of the wanderings of their ancestors and we Christians too today are warned about straying away from and disobeying God!

    We continue our worship of God by learning from the Letter to the Hebrews. The immediate audience of the letter were Hebrews who became Christians. The Temple in Jerusalem, where Jewish rituals and worship happen, was likely still there when the letter was written to those Hebrew Christians. ...read more

    The Lord's Supper was not born in isolation. It is the symbolic demonstration of God's redemptive plan through the ages. This lesson touches God's work through Abram, Moses, and Jesus.

    1. Gilligan's Isolation There were very few of these episodes that you could consider emotionally touching. But I do remember one. Gilligan had gotten his feelings hurt and decided to move away to the other side of the Island to live alone in a cave. Immediately, this became a miserable existence ...read more
