    In The Dark

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 17, 2011
     | 8,709 views

    The old joke is Where were you when the lights went out?" This sermon uses the lights going out when Jesus was on the cross and leads the listener to examine... Where are you... in your relationship with Jesus?

    In the Dark! Mark 15:12-37 It was a hot night in the middle of summer in 1977. The Big Apple was abuzz with excitement and life of a mega city. Bars were filled; movies and theaters were in the middle of the story. Life went on like usual. But then it happened... or should I say, then it ...read more

    I wonder how many of us are fearful this season. How many of us are afraid of what the future holds, or afraid of how we can go on? I’d like to open up today with a quote by E. Stanley Jones, a famous missionary. He said, “I am inwardly fashioned for fait

    CHRISTMAS TIME IS FEAR Part 1 TEXT: Luke 1:5-25 5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the ...read more

    To encourage the listener to stay alert and focused serving Jesus at all times.

    Over this Christmas break I did a good amount of traveling. I went to a small town called Arriba, CO. I went there to pick-up and drop off two of our sons for Christmas. From Leon to Arriba is 436.43 Miles and it takes about 6 hours and 37 minutes one way. So just driving time alone, not including ...read more

    Dealing with sin during the season of Lint. Jesus demonstrated how to deal with temptation.

    Last week I pointed out that we were in the Christians season of Lent. The message last week was an encouragement for all of us to deal with the sins in our life. That is sort of the message of the sermon every week. But last week the point was not related to the big sins but to the smaller sins ...read more

    Salt & Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,692 views

    1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

    It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

    Being poor in spirit has absolutely nothing to do with depression or finances. This sermon gives a description of the poor in spirit that Jesus calls us to.

    The teacher in a Bible class asked a woman to read from the Book of Numbers about the Israelites wandering in the desert. "The Lord heard you when you wailed, 'If only we had meat to eat!' " she began. "Now the Lord will give you meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, or five, or ...read more

    A sermon on the true meaning of giving. The value of a gift is not determined by its amount, but by the sacrifice and spirit in which it is given.

    It is possible to believe in Jesus without actually following Jesus. We need to be sure we know which category we fit in.

    Dropping The F (Forgiveness) Bomb

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,339 views

    We often think that forgiveness is for the one who offended us. In this lesson we learn that we need to drop the forgiveness bomb on other because it frees us from bitterness and anger.

    Dropping the F-Bomb! How many of you know that when you receive Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, you receive forgiveness of your sin? If we are going to learn to be more forgiving and to forgive others, we need to first know that Jesus has forgiven us. When I was younger, I remember running ...read more
