    Grumble Or Grow!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 22, 2015
     | 15,213 views

    We don’t think God cares – if we mumble and grumble, but He does. We’re going to look at what grumbling is, why we shouldn’t grumble, and look at the alternatives to grumbling.

    GRUMBLE OR GROW! Exodus 16:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A lawyer, a doctor, and a preacher went deer hunting together when along came a big buck. The three of them all shot at the same time, and immediately the buck dropped to the ground. 2. They all rushed up to examine the deer, but couldn't ...read more

    Im The One To Blame

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 13, 2015
     | 3,332 views

    We should do more looking out than looking in to see the truly valuable things of God in the lost people all around us. Break the alabaster box of your heart and pour out the love of God that is in you over them.

    I’m the One to Blame When people examine the Easter story they often find many people to blame for Jesus betrayal, arrest, trial and crucifixion. In fact you could say it is a cast of thousands. Oddly enough while reading this familiar passage I was struck at how easily those who were ...read more

     | 10,406 views

    Everywhere you look there are signs telling you it's the Christmas season. There were also some signs surrounding the first Christmas. Let's take a look at some of those and see what significance they hold for us.

    CHRISTMAS SIGNS Everywhere you look there are signs telling you it's the Christmas season. It could be a literal sign like one promoting a sale or a show, or simply an indicator like the decorations or music. Whether it's as big as a billboard or as small as a flyer, the signs about ...read more

    The Pharisee And The Tax Collector Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Oct 31, 2020
     | 7,111 views

    Through this parable Jesus teaches that salvation is not found in comparative righteous. You can’t compare yourself, by looking down on others, and conclude you are justified. You can’t compare yourself, by looking up to others, and conclude you are not justified.

    Message Luke 18:9-14 The Pharisee and The Tax Collector Let’s open our Bibles and turn to Luke 18:9-14 where we find the parable of the Pharisee Read Those who first heard this parable would have been shocked. The tax-collector, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. To be justified ...read more

    Choices: A Teenage Dream Or A Greater Purpose Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Nov 25, 2020
     | 3,031 views

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    Many Americans are star struck, enamored with stardom. It is like we idolize celebrities, to include animated and fictional characters. Hollywood stars are put ahead of the heroes of faith, as mentioned in the book of Hebrews. Sport celebrities are stronger figures in our mind than people of the ...read more

    The Star and Stars of Christmas is a series of messages for Advent. Using the idea of a play on a stage. Each message will look at different characters in the Christmas story. The introduction takes a critical look at how many in our society are portrayed as celebrities—bigger than life.

    Often people are attracted to performances based upon the popularity of the performers, or the authors. (My wife’s father enjoyed David Baldacci, James Patterson, Danielle Steele, etc.). A good writer wants to remove his/her personality and have us to focus on the story. The Gospel according to ...read more

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies. For example, “The Man Who Invented Christmas” appears to be a fantasy movie. It is reality fiction. The story tells how Charles Dickens ...read more

    Cut! Cut! This story is missing something! The script is not going the way it was written. First, it was written with a God-given ability for all players in the script to always love the Lord, follow his precepts for godly living. Let’s review, the original script looked like this: • At first, ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 25, 2023
     | 2,227 views

    When we are overtaken by anxious thoughts, and battling adversity and injustice, God has given us a number of coping strategies. In this message and the next three we will look at these. The writer has been there and these “remedies” are tested. Look up, dear Christian!

    FROM EXPERIENCE = LIVING AND COPING WITH INJUSTICE AND HURT (FIRST PART) – GUIDELINES – (THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD – PART 6 IN THE SERIES) INTRODUCTION FOR SOME MEASURES TO LIVE WITH INJUSTICE We have looked at the subject of retribution from several perspectives.

    Jesus Rejected In His Hometown: Are You Offended Or Faithful? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 5, 2023
     | 2,202 views

    We’ll be looking at two key moments in the life of Jesus, first the moment when Jesus visits his hometown and is rejected by them. Secondly, we’ll look at a moment when Jesus sent out his disciples to do ministry.

    “Three elements of personality are involved in making a decision to become a Christian, or in making any significant decision for that matter. They are the emotions, the intellect, and the will. For example, a young man meets a young woman. They are immediately attracted to one another. They both ...read more

    "Prayers The God Hears:" The Pharisee And Tax Collector

     | 2,622 views

    In the parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector, we’ll be looking at those prayers God hears. However, is all speech skyward prayer, and are they the prayers God hears and answers. In a study of contrast, Jesus’s looks at prayer and the type of prayers God hears.

     | 10,345 views

    A Look at the First Temptation of Eve and the topic of Temptation as seen in I John 2:15-17 and Genesis 2-3. This sermon examines the Lust of the Flesh, the Lust of the Eyes, and the Pride of Life.

    Eve: The First Temptation 15 Do not love the world  or the things that belong to  the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. 16 For everything that belongs to  the world—the lust of the flesh,  the lust of the eyes,  and the pride  in one’s lifestyle—is not from the ...read more

    Obtaining A Living Hope

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,098 views

    Today's Message looks at the living hope we have through the belief in Jesus Christ, and through our own resurrection from the dead and into His presence for all eternity in heaven.

    So, let's take a little pressure off from the Mom's today and take a look at the responsibility of the child to follow the leading of the mother. This of course is a parallel to God the Father and our response as children of the Most High God!

    Mother’s Day … God Disciplines His Children Hebrews 12:4-13 “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? “It ...read more

    Power

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 2, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,912 views

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more
