    based on 25 ratings
     | 24,867 views

    The Bible repeatedly warns us to be very careful about the kind of friends we choose. But does that mean we should never make friends of non-Christians?

    OPEN: Some time back in Germany a couple of women were driving down the autobahn when they realized they were low on gas. So they pulled over to a gas station and the driver filled her car up with gas. But then she discovered that she did not have enough money to pay the bill. So she asked her ...read more

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2015
    based on 14 ratings
     | 27,856 views

    Is depression a mark of a lack of faith? Is it always a sinful attitude? Consider the story of a great man of God who struggled with this terrible emotion, and the ways in which God healed him.

    OPEN: Over the past few weeks we’ve been dealing with emotions that can cripple Christians. Two weeks ago, our family minister dealt with the issue of Fear. Last week we dealt with Guilt. And this week we’re going to focus on a very real emotion that has crippled thousands: ...read more

     | 29,747 views

    There are at least 3 different Greek words translated "doubt" in the New Testament, but the doubt Thomas exhibited was the most dangerous form of doubt in Scripture. What was Thomas doubting, and why was it so dangerous for him to do so?

    Does anyone know who Kirsten Powers is? (A few hands went up). Kirsten is a columnist for USA Today, and Newsweek and a contributor to Fox News.

    God had planned this trip to Egypt for centuries. But why choose that pagan land? Why not someplace else?

    OPEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLc81CS7TY4 (We turned the video's sound down as I explained the artist and artwork that was being shown).

    Playing Monopoly With God Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 4, 2015
    based on 24 ratings
     | 37,594 views

    Christ warned about the mindset of Monopoly, but all board games have some way to measure success: determining how you win or lose. How do measure success in how we live for Christ? How do we know whether we've actually stored up treasures in heaven?

    Lead-in with the following video: http://discoverychurch.com/messages/actually-win-losing/ (first 24 seconds) How many of you have ever played Monopoly? (ask for a show of hands). Me too. I hate the game. I never win. However, Monopoly is one of the THE most popular games in the world. As I did ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 22,254 views

    It's one game board, but two games. Checkers and Chess are not only played differently, but they illustrate for me the difference between how the world deals with conflict and how God would have us do so. Do you know the difference?

    OPEN: (We showed a picture of a checker board on the overhead) What is this game? That’s right, it’s a checkers game. How many of you have ever played checkers? (almost everyone held up their hands) You know, I did not realize it until I began my research for this morning’s ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,057 views

    The angel said that Jesus had come to forgive us of our sins... but why would the story of a baby be important to the Gospel message. What is there about a baby that would figure into God offering us forgiveness?

    OPEN: Here it is the first week of December and people are already getting into the Christmas spirit. They’re decorating their homes, putting up Christmas trees and mistletoe and holly… and Christmas lights all over the place. We Americans are so used to our traditions of the season ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 11,269 views

    One of the gifts Jesus was born to give was the gift of Eternal life. How and when did He give us that gift and how does His birth figure into it?

    OPEN: Today is the 200th anniversary of the founding of the state of Indiana. Today we have members of the Cass County bi-centennial group present in worship.

    God has promised to give us a "new heart".But why not fix the old heart.... and what would a baby born in a manger have to do with this gift?

    OPEN: A 4 year old girl was brought to the ER with a severe cough. But as little girls sometimes do… she talked and talked and talked which made it difficult for the nurse to listen to the sounds in her lung.

    based on 18 ratings
     | 35,794 views

    Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

    I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 30,842 views

    When Jesus was crucified, some turned away and some ran away from Him. But there was at least one man didn't do that and his life changed forever. Do you know who that man was?

    OPEN: (We opened the sermon with a video by the group “CityALight” and their song “Jerusalem” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX4ZCHRksBA [fade at time stamp 1:51]). I shared that video this morning, not only because I really like that song, but also because it dovetails ...read more

    (I went over to the thermostat on the wall that we have on stage) Over here on the wall we have a box. I look closely here and I see a number. It says “70”. What does that mean? That’s right – it means that that’s the temperature here on stage. Now is that ...read more

     | 24,739 views

    In the day of Jesus, Bethlehem wasn't very impressive. And yet God chose it as the birthplace of the King. Why?

    I love to sing, and so I want to start out this sermon by having us all sing the first 2 verses of “O Little Town of Bethlehem”. “O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above your deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 38,748 views

    God built His church to be ONE... but Satan builds walls to divide that church. How do we identify what the Devil does so that we can unify our church and challenge the power of the evil one?

    Once upon a time, there were three little pigs. (You’ve heard this one, haven’t you?) The first little piggy built his house of straw, and the big bad wolf came and huffed and puffed and blew that house down. The second piggy built his house of sticks, and the big bad ...read more
