    Take Up Your Cross

    Contributed by Stephan Brown on Mar 24, 2004
    based on 45 ratings
     | 5,155 views

    Inspired by "The Passion of the Christ" demonstrates how because of Christ’s suffering our life is not our own--and we must die to self, sin, and this world.

    Take Up Your Cross Having recently seen the movie the Passion of the Christ several times, I’ve been reflecting on the meaning of the Passion. Of course, I know that the purpose of Christ’s death was to bring forgiveness of sin. But at the same time, I wondered what the purpose could be in ...read more

    The Road To Victory

     | 5,743 views

    A perspective on Mark 8: 31-38. St. Mark points out in his Gospel that there is another way to glory and that is the way of Christ. Therefore, what does the ‘way of Christ’ mean, and what does being a disciple mean ?

    Mark 8: 31-38 The Road To Victory Nobody enjoys the pain of losing. We long for glory and the freedom from being a plain person living a plain life. As a result we all strive to align ourselves with winners or at least potential winners. We are willing to give praise and support to winners. In ...read more

    Embarrassing Reruns

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 28, 2016
     | 4,273 views

    Sometimes when you've made the same dumb mistake again, you get a vague sense of déjà vu. That's what Abraham got when Abimelek rebuked him for lying about Sarah being his sister. Let's don't keep falling into the same sins!

    EMBARRASSING RERUNS Gen. 20:1-13,17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Abraham bought himself a fancy new computer and was showing it to Isaac one day. "Look at all the wonderful programs it has on it. And look at all the neat things it can do." 2. Isaac was impressed but a little concerned. "But, ...read more

    Warning Of The False Teachers Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 21, 2024
     | 2,064 views

    There have been these lying false prophets around through the ages. This would be like in a critical war the soldiers can’t just fight the enemy who wear a different uniform, but within their ranks wearing their same uniform are those who would work to see the enemy win to make a profit.

    Peter is writing to the scattered Christians. In his first letter Peter mentions who he is writing to, the scattered Christians of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia. Peter is writing from a Roman prison and the Lord has told him his execution is near. He writes this last letter to ...read more

    The Wonders Of His Love Series

    Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023
     | 2,489 views

    How did Jesus coming as a baby mean that there would be peace on earth and goodwill for us? My journey through Advent has brought me back to the manger where God shows up in the flesh, where the God-Man is all potential, just lying there. It's an offer. It's an invitation.

    Babies change everything, or at least a lot of things change for a family when a baby is born. For mothers, a selfless devotion to her child kicks in. Life revolves around what the baby needs, not her own needs. New fathers find a place in their hearts that was not there before. A sense of pride ...read more

     | 8,848 views

    This sermon focuses on the extraordinary but sad life of Samson. A man who had the potential to be a great spiritual leader, but his disobedience and lack of self-control prevented him from becoming the person God had intended him to be.

    based on 1 rating
     | 342 views

    So much of what comes “naturally” to us is shaped by sin, self, and the culture around us. But what the Holy Spirit compels us to do—that is divine wisdom at work.

    Go! And Walk in Godly Wisdom - James 3:13–18 (A Sermon in the “Go! And…” Series) Introduction Good morning, Church. Today I want to begin with a quote from Dr Charles Stanley. He once said: “Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to ...read more

     | 11,463 views

    The beauty of a nation, like that of a human face, is not cosmetic, but comes out of generosity, self-control, sacrificial love, and a vision that accords with God

    Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God. His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth … Beauty.

    Is it possible that our lives have become so self-centered, so complicated, so full of things, that we no longer care?

     | 17,734 views

    The power of one individual to significantly impact the many. The key:burying one’s self in favor of others for Christ’s sake.

    The Power of One The truth is, a kernel of wheat must be planted in the soil. Unless it dies it will be alone--a single seed. But its death will produce many new kernels--a plentiful harvest of new lives.25Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who despise their life in this ...read more

    Do You Really Love God? Deut. 6: 4,5 Let’s set the scene here. The people of Israel have just been liberated form Egypt. They’re between Egypt and Canaan, the Promised land.

    Perils Of Petting

    Contributed by James Groce on Jun 15, 2002
    based on 60 ratings
     | 3,034 views

    Petting breaks down the will and destroys self-control. It stirs a desire that petting itself cannot satisfy. Petting is not an end in itself but is preparatory.

    There is no such thing as love at first sight. Real love is not built upon mere sight. We may see one’s talents and appearance, and these we may admire, but true love is a tender and strong attachment to the inward person. We love personality and personality must be learned, admired and ...read more

    We tie gift-giving to our own self-acceptance. Appropriate gifts to Christ announce that indeed we are acceptable to Him.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, December 24, 1987 (Christmas Eve) Out there right now, running around with a harried look, and practically waving fistfuls of dollars in their hands, there are those folks who for one reason or another have a hard time with gift giving.
