  • Who Is My Next-Of-Kin?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 26, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,706 views

    The world needs Boazes, who will see others as ntext-of-kin who create opportunities for ministry, not merely depersonalizing obligations.

    It’s summertime, and various ones have been telling me about their vacations and their trips. One thing I keep hearing over and over again is the phrase, "family reunion". Lots and lots of you have attended family reunions. Now there are family reunions and there are family reunions. For Margaret ...read more

  • Nihilism Is Not Practical

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,914 views

    Life is not meaningless, we gain meaning in life through the person of Jesus Christ.

    In college one of the jobs I had was working in a medical file warehouse. Talk about mundane, boring, monotonous. These were huge warehouses that contained millions of files from hospitals all over the San Francisco Bay Area. I did one of three things: I pulled a file for a patient in a hospital ...read more

  • Dating, Relationships, Marriage And Sex

    Contributed by Nate Herbst on Jan 1, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 22,987 views

    The Biblical keys necessary to successfully navigate the dating scene, glorifying God and finding the mate God created you to live your life with.

    GODLY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX - “God thought up and created two sexes. It is his idea.” – Dean Sherman. The Kingdom of God is based on relationships (and almost every problem on the planet arises out of bad relationships). Relationships are top priority to God (Mat. 22:37-39). Jesus ...read more

  • Making Sense Of Life And Death

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2009
     | 3,816 views

    Life has to be more than what many in our time think it is. It does have meaning, as does death, if we live out of our sense of the purposes of God and if we have Christ as our constant companion.

    He was all of thirteen years old, just beginning to emerge from boyhood and to fill out a little. He seemed, to look at him, alert, intelligent, full of the mischief you would expect from somebody entering the awkward years. His voice wavered between high-pitched laughter and the creaking croaking ...read more

  • Extending Grace To Others Series

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 5, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,658 views

    We are an avenue of Gods grace to other Christians, even the ones who disappoint or hurt us.

    This story quite honestly is a troubling one to me. Can I say that? Is it okay for me to say that? The reason it troubles me is because up until this point in the book of Acts, when the church had a disagreement (and they had some very significant ones), they worked through them and came to a ...read more

  • Keep Away From The Brothers

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Jan 6, 2009
    based on 48 ratings
     | 9,866 views

    Our text tells us what idleness is in God’s eyes. 1- Idleness is sinning 2- Idleness is stealing 3- Idleness is snooping

    INTRO.- Keep away from the brothers. That’s strange advice. Keep away from certain people. That may not be so strange. ILL.- A farmer, seeing a lot of crows picking up seed he had sown in a field, took his shotgun and fired at them. All the birds flew away except one that lay wounded on the ...read more

  • The Financial Crisis And The Bible

    Contributed by Michael Russell on Jan 12, 2009
    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,912 views

    The application of some of the Old Testament law to the financial crisis - in particular, debt-related slavery and the prohibition on charging interest.

    The financial crisis and the bible This year, you could barely read the news without a mention of the financial crisis. Some of the jokes summed it up well: With the current market turmoil, what’s the easiest way to make a small fortune? Start off with a large one. How do you define optimism? ...read more

  • Looking Good: Just One More Thing

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 14, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,623 views

    Dinosaurs look good in the museum, but their bones are really disconnected, are not together, and are dry as dust. The church must learn to connect, to unite, and to be exciting, as God wills.

    Dinosaurs fascinate me. Those ancient beasts which once upon a time roamed this planet, foraging for food and terrorizing smaller creatures. You’ve seen them on the late movies, enormous reptiles, roaring and raring up on their hind legs, grabbing the pretty girl between those giant jaws and ...read more

  • True Values: Commitment Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Jan 15, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,156 views

    We value commitment because it is what motivated the New Testament Church.

    True Values: Commitment Text: Acts 2:42 Introduction 1. What does it mean to be committed to something? 2. Webster’s Dictionary says that commitment is "the state or an instance of being obligated or emotionally impelled." 3. Perhaps we can look at it another way. There is a major difference ...read more

  • Can Anything Good Come Out Of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church?

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,828 views

    A sermon for the 2nd Sunday after the Epiphany preached at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon 1/18/09. It plays off Nathaniel’s question in the text "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

    “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” That’s quite a question for Nathaniel to be asking this morning, isn’t it? If you were from Nazareth, you might hear that as quite an insult. Just imagine someone you just met asking where you were from, and you say you’re from Audubon, Iowa, and they ...read more

  • Getting Beyond First Base

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,465 views

    This sermon examines the responsibility of following through on your faith commitment to Jesus Christ.

    Several years ago I attended a t-ball game and observed an interesting behavior. A t-ball player brought the crowd down in laughter. His behavior proved he had more to learn about playing ball. This little guy was excited about the game. He was intent about hitting the ball. He tensed his muscles ...read more

    In Jesus, you have a Messiah who understands what you’re going through.

    The Messiah Who Understands Text: Matt. 2:1-23 Introduction 1. Illustration: A man put up a sign in his yard that read: "Puppies for Sale." Among those who came to inquire was a young boy.

    Paul, Pt. 24

    BUILT TO SERVE (COLOSSIANS 3:22-25) The St. Bernard dog is renowned for its rescue work. The males weigh 140-200 pounds, and a fit and trained dog can pull more than 3,000 pounds of load on wheels.

  • The Greatest Power Is Often Simple Patience Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,542 views

    Life outside of Christ, Paul says. It’s angry life. Its confrontational politics and caustic talk shows. It’s accusatory e-mails that appear to have been sent from a flamethrower. As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with patience.

    Opening illustration: This past week I read about a first-grade teacher who was having a difficult day. It had rained that entire day and the children couldn’t go out for recess, so they got more and more restless and hyperactive as the day wore on. The teacher couldn’t wait for the bell to ring ...read more
