    Fourfold purpose of the church: 1)Worship God 2) Show love for others 3)Proclaim the Gospel 4)Help Christian grow in their faith.

    A few weeks ago a woman called the church office. She said she had heard some real good things about our congregation and was interested in attending, but she had one concern. Someone had told her that you had to pay money, annual dues, if you wanted to come to this church. Barb, the church ...read more

  • Nothing But The Truth

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

  • Is The Price Too High?"

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 11,347 views

    today the question we look at is this: Is the price of being a Christian too high?

    Whenever I buy something, whether it is a car or a gallon of milk, I always check the price. The question always is: Am I willing to pay this amount, or is the price too high? If I stop at a gas station to get a gallon of milk, and see a price of $3, I think: OK, I could pick it up for 20 cents ...read more

  • Dealing With Doubt

    When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

    Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more

    Jesus warns some people of the consequences of rejecting Him.

    You did not study real hard for the math test. After all, you are a pretty sharp guy and you have always gotten good grades in the class. The test seemed pretty easy, and you are fairly certain you aced it. The teacher is handing the tests back right now. You glance over at Jimmy at the next desk. ...read more

    Jesus has great news for weary people

    Americans are tired people. Hectic schedules have many folks going to bed late and getting up early, and surveys show that most people in our country simply don't get enough sleep. A recent newspaper article reported some companies are encouraging employees to take naps during the lunch hour, even ...read more

  • How Important Is The Sabbath?

    What role should the Sabbath play in our lives?

    In 1981 the movie, Chariots of Fire, won the Academy Award for Best Picture. This Hollywood film told the true story of a devout Christian, Eric Liddell, in a very positive way. I want to just show you a clip of the film. Eric has decided he must forfeit his chance to run in the 200 meter dash at ...read more

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

  • Is There A Sin God Will Not Forgive?

    based on 114 ratings
     | 17,131 views

    What does Jesus means when He says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin?

    Max Lucado says that one of the most difficult truths he has had to come to grips with is that God's grace is big enough to extend to someone like Jeffery Dahmer. If you recall, Dahmer was the young murderer in Milwaukee a few years ago who cut up the bodies of his victims. While in prison, Dahmer ...read more

  • Every Word Counts

    based on 106 ratings
     | 9,130 views

    The words that come out of our mouth reveal what is in a person's heart, shows what that individual really is like.

    There was an ad on the radio a while ago which proclaimed that "people judge you by the words you use." It was for a program that was intended to help you build-up your vocabulary. Now, it is probably true that many of us assume that someone who uses four- or five-syllable words in their ...read more

  • What Makes Jesus So Special?

    Why Christmas is such an important celebration and why 2000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust, love, and devotion.

    In less than two weeks it will be Christmas and almost all of us will celebrate the birth of someone born 2000 years ago. Why? That is the question of the day. What makes Jesus Christ so special? Why isn't the birthday of Mohammed, Confucius, or Buddha the biggest holiday of the year? Why does our ...read more

    What about all the people who at one time professed faith in Jesus Christ but who now seem to have little interest in the things of the Lord?

    I've made my choice," wrote the basketball star. "I love Jesus Christ and I try to serve Him to the best of my ability. How about you?" No, those are not the words of David Robinson, A. C. Green or any other Christian currently playing in the NBA. That testimony is from a tract written thirty years ...read more

    Being part of the kingdom of heaven, being a disciple of Jesus Christ, is worth whatever sacrifice one has to make

    DAN: Hi, Ryan, is there something I can do for you? RYAN: Oh, no, but there is something I can do for you! DAN: What's that? RYAN: Well, I am holding in my hand a ticket for the Packer/Viking game at the dome on Monday night, December 20. DAN: Oh, wow! Are you serious? RYAN: Yep. DAN: Boy, ...read more

    The Bible teaches a solemn and terrible truth about the reality of hell

    Two weeks ago there were about a hundred protesters picketing the Second Baptist Church of Houston, Texas. This was a group of Hindus who were upset that the Southern Baptist Convention was encouraging its churches like Second Baptist, which incidentally has over 10,000 members, to make a special ...read more

  • The Price Of Truth

    based on 76 ratings
     | 7,318 views

    A willingness to speak the truth, even if that truth is not popular, is a great virtue.

    One of my favorite stories is The Emperor's New Clothes. It is the tale about an Emperor who was swindled by a supposed tailor. The man claims to sew a new, special suit for the Emperor. It is special because only those who are wise will see the clothes, while those who are foolish will find them ...read more
