    When Good Things Happen To Bad People

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 9, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,885 views

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church: In a world of injustice, "bad" people get good things they do not deserve. But grace gives us gentle gifts, gives us the satisfaction of outwaiting our enemies, and allows us to wait for God’s justice.

    I was in my office at Takoma Park church, and, as so often happened, someone stopped by to ask for help. The story was very much like most of the stories I had heard. He said that he just needed a few dollars to get by. Tomorrow there would be a job and, “Pastor, if you’ll just give me ...read more

    What Then Will We Have?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2008
     | 3,865 views

    Gaining authentic riches means embracing the way of life over the way of death. The way of life means constant companionship and reconciled relationships, all in the risen Christ.

    They promised me an income of up to ten thousand dollars a week. It would come in the easiest of ways; all I would have to do would be to sit at home and wait for it to pour in. They said the money would mount up effortlessly. Up to ten thousand dollars a week, made by promoting certain ...read more

    Leaky Disciples

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 17, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,923 views

    Dated 1988; post-revival message. We do not retain the Spirit after a period of excitement because we have not counted the cost, we are victims of low self-esteem, or we are not our own persons.

    Nothing is more annoying than to be trying to transport some liquid in a leaky vessel. You think you’ve got whatever it is all secure and ready for use, and then all of a sudden you find out it has leaked and drained allover the place ... and nothing is more disturbing and frustrating. When I ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,093 views

    A tendency to rebel against authority, an exaggerated desire to win the approval of others, and a skewed definition of what it means to be successful; these deadly ingredients combined to create the misadventures of my life and ministry so far.

    Dakota Community Church November 16, 2008 (pm) Confessions of a Misguided Innovator Begin by reading Ephesians 4:1-16 Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men ...read more

    The Great Dismal Swamp And The Evereadies

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 15, 2009
     | 3,624 views

    Just as comic strip characters were saved from the Great Dismal Swamp because their Eveready batteries summoned the Fleet, so also if we will use the resources we have, we can save others from this world because the risen Christ is our resource.

    The travel brochures say practically nothing about it, and yet it is one of the largest features on the landscape of two’ adjacent states. Two incorporated cities encompass include a great deal of it, but very few people live there. It’s mostly hundreds of square miles of nothing. The official ...read more

    Without Thanksgiving we can’t experience Christmas

    The preacher came over to visit unexpectedly. (Aren’t you glad your preacher doesn’t do that?) Wanting to make a good impression, the lady of the house instructed her little daughter, “Please run and get that good book we all love so much and bring it here.” The daughter tottered off and then ...read more

    Faith Without Works Is Both Unprofitable And Dead! Series

    Contributed by John Wright on Feb 1, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,818 views

    James teaches that faith without works is dead and he uses for examples: helping the needy, the devils who believe but don't obey, Abraham and Rahab.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:14-26. This passage has much to say about the importance of both faith and works. 2. Years ago, there was an old gentleman whose job was to row people across a river at a spot where there was no other way to cross. (1) This elderly man was very ...read more

    Luke 2:41-52 Whew, Christmas is over for another year. As always there is a big buildup and in the period of 24 hours all the spending, giving and receiving are suddenly over.

    The life of Joseph told in a story narrative.

    One of my favorites! I just want to tell this story, let it speak for itself. Gen 37 – 1898 BC – Joseph was 17 years old, living a shepherd’s life along with his 11 brothers. His father, Jacob, had recently moved to Hebron to be near his father Isaac. The story starts right out of the gate with ...read more

    God And Hurting Persons

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,249 views

    God has always expressed care for those who hurt; it’s nothing new. But Jesus extended that care to those not like His listeners, and His church is intended to reach the marginal.

    This week, while the rest of you were surfing the Internet reading Ken Starr’s report, I was reading my favorite form of literature. I was reading "church bulletin bloopers." Church bulletin bloopers are those funny little errors that creep into church bulletins, maybe because the typist didn’t ...read more

    Looking at Daniel and his 3 friends, we have a blueprint for how to live in today’s soceity.

    When God gave the Ten Commandments to those people just out of bondage in Egypt, He was telling free people what they must do to remain free. He was telling them there were many forms of bondage other than slavery in Egypt, and we all know that. The Word of God tells us other truths also. One is ...read more

    Being ready for the return of Christ. The parables of Jesus in Matthew 25 give us a model for being ready. First Sunday of Advent, Year B

    It’s hard to believe that Christmas season is upon us again. The craziness has begun. I was reading in the paper the other day that a Wal-Mart employee out in New York was killed by injuries sustained while trying to prevent a mob from entering the store at 5 am the Friday after Christmas.

    Freedom's Cross Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,351 views

    If we want to be free from the pressure to perform, we cannot seek to impress others with ourselves. Instead, we must be impressed only with what Christ did for us on the cross.

    Freedom’s Cross (Galatians 6:11-18) Once upon a time an old man and his son were on their way to market. The old man was leading a donkey and the boy was walking behind when they went through the first village. There, the people called the old man a fool for not riding the donkey. So he ...read more
