    Making Something Of Bad Apples

    based on 129 ratings
     | 8,710 views

    God has given each of us the opportunity, the freedom to choose for ourselves so he could have a genuine relationship with us.

    Well… I have to confess that for some time now, I have been harboring a deep-rooted fear. It began several years ago as a 22 year old Summer Youth Worker. Our pastor had left; we were in an interim period, and it looked as if I might have to step in and preach on Father’s Day. But you know you ...read more

    Jesus/ Immanuel is God’s promise to never leave us nor forsake us; to be with us always!

    There are many names given to Jesus in the Bible– each one gives us a fuller and clearer picture of who He is and What He means for us... And so, as we are unpacking the various names of Jesus we are asking ourselves “Who IS this man that we have put our hope in?” The very name Jesus means ...read more

    “make The Commitment” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jan 21, 2013
     | 4,384 views

    If our lives are going to count for Christ, we need to make the daily commitment to live for Him as opposed to living for ourselves.

    We are thinking about how we, as believers, can “Get In The Game” for God and live lives that count for Christ. We said we can know we’ve “Got Game” if we: Go for the gold; Aim for excellence; Make the commitment; & Expect God to work. In “going for the ...read more

    Make Jesus Famous

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 29, 2023
     | 2,097 views

    Today, we’re going to see how God wants us 1). To make JESUS famous, not ourselves; 2). To make Jesus famous by our HOLY LIFE; and 3). To make Jesus famous by stepping out in faith to see the miraculous.

    MAKE JESUS FAMOUS Ex. 9:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR Pete Smith told me about a King in Europe who was only 12 inches tall! He was a terrible King but a good ruler! B. TEXT 1.

    In The Name Of Pride

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,798 views

    One of the worst characteristics, or symptoms, of pride is that it feeds off others in order to fill its host. Pride builds us up only by tearing others down.

    God is calling you this New Year. He wants you to change your life. He wants to give you a new name, a new beginning.

    A New Name Ephesians 1:1-10 A minister wrote in the church newsletter, that he was setting new goals for the New Year. One of his goals was to clean up his desk. Another of his goals was to finally find where he put last year’s goals. There might be some of you who probably keep your desks like ...read more

    Make It Make Sense

    Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Oct 16, 2025
     | 2,583 views

    Pause and reflect on the hand of God in your life. When God allows something to bend a certain way, no human effort can straighten it out, unless He wills it. It may not make sense to us, but it may sense to God.

    Ecclesiastes 7:13 (NIV) Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what He has made crooked? Look at somebody and tell them, Neighbor, I’m trying to make it make sense. Look down your row at somebody else and say, but sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. Because if we’re honest today, ...read more

    Jealous For The Name

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on May 29, 2018
     | 2,901 views

    Jesus teaches to long for the name of God to be held in esteem.

    I THINK I MUST HAVE BEEN in the fourth or fifth grade, and I’d come into the proud ownership of a brand new baseball. I mean, it was the real deal. The core was firm, the skin was tight, the threads were prominent and taut. It even had the word “Official” on it. It was a gem. So I got up a game ...read more

    A New Name

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 5, 2003
    based on 214 ratings
     | 28,322 views

    As we think about the new year, we need to see that: 1. God is always doing a new thing. 2. Only God can bring about real change. 3. God’s new name for us means a new beginning.

    I love to read the comics, and one of my favorites used to be “Calvin and Hobbes.” Calvin and Hobbes are talking about the new year when Calvin says, “I’m getting disillusioned with these new years. They don’t seem very new at all Each new year is just like the old year Here another year has ...read more

    We pray in Jesus’ name...what else should we do in Jesus’ name?

    In Jesus Name We Play Colossians 3:17 It started as a slip up during a prayer before a church softball game. The minister was leading everyone in prayer. As he closed in prayer he accidently said, "In Jesus’ name we play." That phrase caught on and soon others were praying before softball ...read more

    A Change Of Name

    Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Feb 13, 2023
     | 2,611 views

    We read in the Scriptures of how God changed the names of some persons (such as Abram, Jacob and Peter). This change of name indicated God’s special purpose for them. He will give us a new name also. The new name will reflect our character.

    A CHANGE OF NAME (by brother Tarran Dookie) ABRAHAM AND SARAH Gen 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and ...read more

    based on 112 ratings
     | 9,680 views

    In this passage of Scripture, Jesus discusses the difference between PROFESSION and PRACTICE. The premise is this. Following Jesus is not determined by our profession, but by our practice. The true evidence of conversion and faith in Christ IS T

    A NAME IS NOT ENOUGH Luke 6: 43-49 I have to share with you something I find rather humourous. This week, Pam and I were at a Teacher’s Conference which was held at a very large church. On the last day of the conference, later in the day, I noticed a sign that someone from the church had ...read more

    Third Commandment: How not to use God’s name emptily, keeping it full of meaning.

    Names are important. Choosing a name for a new baby can occupy a couple right up until birth - sometimes even beyond. My godchildren’s father Chad drove my friend Caryl crazy right up to delivery insisting that any son of his would be named Beowulf. I think he was just pulling her chain but Chad ...read more
