    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 7, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,570 views

    A short talk given at an all-Saints' Memorial Day service, giving thanks to God for loved ones who have died. In short, God knows us, God stays close to us, and God made us.

    In 2008 I spent seven months in bed suffering from severe debilitating pain in my neck. My neck muscles were twisting my head in 3 directions. My right ear was almost resting on my shoulder. In many ways it was a horrible time. It tested my faith. The result was a deeper trust in the God who knows ...read more

    Defined And Delivered In Love Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 7,131 views

    If only one word could be used to describe you or your church, what would it be? As believers, many Christian attributes come to mind, but love would rank at the top. The world needs to see a church defined by love.

    Defined and Delivered in Love 1 John 4: 7-10 Our text this evening again deals with the continuing theme of love John has presented throughout this epistle. In fact, the remaining verses of this chapter deal with love. John was originally known as one of the “sons of thunder,” but ...read more

    Christmas is the heralding of God who comes to be with us. God is the one who pursues. The incarnation is the revelation of God’s immense love for humanity.

    Any of you who like to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition might have seen a show that aired last fall about the Keefer family in Pennsylvania. One of the Keefer sons, Brian, had a tumbling accident one week before his 21st birthday back in 2008, and he is now paralyzed from the neck down. Now, ...read more

    Funeral Service: Step-Up

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 5, 2022
     | 1,563 views

    “Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

    The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one. Admittedly, when life gets too heavy, it's hard to step up, so Jesus invites us to lighten our load so we can take a step in faith. And, Anna, ...read more

    If Jesus came to serve others, this should settle the matter for us.

    Matthew 20:28 "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Galatians 5:13 "You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love." 1 Peter 4:10 "Each one should ...read more

    I am going to share with you some life changing truths about serving one another.

    Introduction This past Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving Day. And I am going to use that day to illustrate how families have their own set of rules and guidelines that govern how they function. In some families, the parents fix the Thanksgiving meal for the children before they fix their own. In ...read more

    This passage is the beginning of a "handbook" for the Christian disciple.

    7 Ones – Ephesians 4: 1 - 16 Intro: I found the following poem while researching this sermon. “One night, I had a wondrous dream; one set of footprints there was seen, the footprints of my precious Lord, but mine were not along the shore.

    “It’s that Simple. It’s that Complicated” John 13:1-5, 12-15, 34-35 Have you ever taken a moment to think about how totally profound this encounter is between Jesus and His disciples on the night that Jesus was betrayed? I’m not referring to the fact that Jesus washed His disciples’ dirty ...read more

    Motive For Involvement

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2022
     | 1,966 views

    Why do we serve the Lord? Motive is more important than any thing else.

    1. It is the 11th hour 2. There are Christians standing idle. Many asleep in the harvest. 1 Corinthians 15:34 3. This is a personal invitation. a. Go work. Matthew 21:28-31 b.

    We are living in an age and time in which this seems to be the theme; how to get more out of……

    They're showing how to get more oil out of an old well. They also advertise how to get more out of our water supply by using certain things. The same is true about our homes and cars always get more use out of what we have. Why should we as Christians not want to get more out of our churches ...read more

    Have We Been Chosen For A Specific Purpose?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 27, 2023
     | 909 views

    You may never know when you will be picked, or chosen, to do or be in a position of prominence. The outcome of that said choosing will depend upon the state of your heart.

    In this chapter, the king chooses a new queen. In Chapter 1, King Ahasuerus, had a party to show off his queen, Vashti. She refused so the king banished her and stripped her royalty. After banishing Vashti, the king sent officers out to gather fair young women of all the lands to choose a new ...read more

    As widows, Ruth and Naomi could only anticipate trouble.

    As widows, Ruth and Naomi could only anticipate troublesome occasions (1:8-9). In any case, when Naomi heard the report about Boaz, her hope for what's to come was reestablished (2:20).

     | 2,965 views

    I delivered this eulogy in 2014 at the memorial service of my nieces baby boy who died a few days after birth. Thought I’d share it. I hope it blesses you.

    In times like these the first question we often ask is “Why?” And that’s a legitimate question that we’re going to answer here today. But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more
