    Contributed by Mike Hays on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 78 ratings
     | 6,688 views

    We must make a decision whether or not we will surrender our lives to Jesus Christ or continue to try to find meaning on our own.

    The Day of Decision Joshua 23:14-16 Today is the day that we celebrate nine years of ministry together. I can remember like yesterday arriving at Britton Christian Church and being welcomed by many of you who are still here nine years later. As the years have passed we have seen so many people ...read more

    The Hebrew word Kippur or Kâpar literally means to cover-over or to cover-up. Yom Kippur points to the greatest cover-up in history.

    THE GREATEST COVER-UP IN HISTORY: THE ATONEMENT LEVITICUS 16:1-22 God established one day in the year to be set aside for Israel to observe that gave the most solemn representation of two facts – the sinfulness of men and God’s provision for a cover-up for men. That day is what we know today as ...read more

    We need to be justified. "Just as if I had never sinned" is what justified basically means – and that is the title I have given to this sermon.

    JUST AS IF I HAD NEVER SINNED Rom 3:9-31 INTRODUCTION Q. What direction does a Polar Bear, in its natural habitat, look when it looks back? Looks to the right? Looks to the left? And when it looks straight ahead? A. In each case it was looking South. It’s on the North Pole! Q. What does a ...read more

     | 17,936 views

    Repentance is a term that isn’t used outside the church. However, many within the church do not understand it’s meaning either.

    14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” (New King James Version) Lillian Pearsall of Moravia, N.Y. tells this story of when ...read more

     | 7,093 views

    The things we say have weight and meaning and they have long lasting effects. This message tells us how to control our tongue.

    James 3:1-12 "That Troublesome Tongue" By Pastor Mark Hiehle When I was growing up, there was a phrase that I heard that sounded good but was as false as false could be. Whenever I was teased or put down, the phrase would run through my mind as a retort, but deep down I knew it wasn’t true. ...read more

    These sermons rely heavily(I mean HEAVILY) upon John McCarther’s New Testament Commentaries. Only the errors are mine

    Giving up control of our lives to God who is the only one ultimately capable of settingus on the proper course for living a life of meaning.

    Our scripture for today seems to me to stand against everything that our culture seems to tell us as many other scriptures do as well. There are many ways that people in our culture seek to understand us and we all are searching for something in life that really matters. Throughout our lives ...read more

    What it really means for Jesus Christ to control the life of a believer - the presentation of our bodies, the process of the renewing of our minds, and the performance of the Will Of God.

    Who’s Pulling The Strings? (Have ready made a giant marionette frame (4’x6’ or larger) with rope through the control arms. As you begin, start to attach the ropes to your legs and arms making you a human marionette.) I remember that when I was seven, our WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD would all congregate ...read more

    Because we cannot ascend to God (which is attempted during the Christmas season), God descends to us, and gives us meaning and joy.

    Luke 2:1-20 Look Into The Face of Christ, and See the Heart of God. Of all the holidays during the calendar year, both secular and religious, I would describe Christmas as a high-effort holiday. We have lots of low-effort holidays, like Memorial Day or Labor Day. How much effort do those ...read more

     | 6,516 views

    As we conclude our series on our church covenant we need to understand what it means to actually support our church family.

    It still amazes me, almost 25% of all marriages will end in divorce. That means one out of four marriage covenants will be broken, tossed to the sidelines and forgotten. Families will be torn apart. Interesting is the typical reasons given for ignoring the marriage covenant. communication ...read more

    Explains the meaning of baptism: that we are dead with Christ, but have new life in Him. Demonstrates that holiness and commitment to God are the result of this death and life.

    "A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE" We’re here this morning really for two different but connected celebrations. But this morning we will celebrate these two ceremonies in the reverse order of what they are normally celebrated. In English, when something is very important we may use the saying, "It’s a ...read more

    HOLY GROUND Ex 3.1-10 A few weeks ago, in Griffith, a man found a little baby in a garbage dumpster. This isn’t the first time this has happened.

    Second in the series on spiritual warfare, "THIS MEANS WAR!" This sermon explores why and how Satan wants to destroy our testimony, if not us.

    Can I let you in on a secret? SATAN HATES US! He once had a prominent place and authority in God’s realm. Ezekiel 28 describes him as having the seal of perfection, perfect in beauty, an anointed being, covered with precious stones and being on the holy mount of God. But Lucifer sinned. ...read more
