    4 keys to powerful prayer drawn from the Lord’s Prayer.

    Christ welcomed "the wrong crowd." Is our church doing the same?

    “THE CHURCH THAT WELCOMES SINNERS” Luke 15:1-10 Have you ever visited a church, and not felt welcome? A few years ago, I went to an area Reformation service. I had to drive an hour to get there, and I was running late. I almost couldn’t find the place, but I did, and I had to park pretty far ...read more

    What Is Our Ambition?

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,239 views

    No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

    The message examines the relationship of Christianity to the postmodern culture.

    America finds itself in the middle of a revolution in thinking which is greatly impacting virtually every aspect of life. The term used to describe our present culture is “postmodern.” If you look very closely you will soon discover that this mindset is the guiding spirit of our times. ...read more

    Jesus is the returning bridegroom who will arrive triumphantly at the end of the age. Beloved , blessed are those whose lamps are faithfully kept burning as they watch and wait for his appearance. Be Ready for "The Cry at Midnight." (Redone Nov 2017)

    The role of a pastor/teacher is much more than that of a carer. Psalm 23 illustrates to us from the Good Shepherd what is involved in this ministry that is intended to lead others to maturity in Christ.

    3.7.11 PASTORS AND TEACHERS -- Psalm 23 INTRO Have you ever thought of entering the ministry? Maybe you have. Or maybe you haven't and you wonder how a church pastor spends their time during the week. What is involved: There is a well-worn joke that pastor's work only one day a week. It's about ...read more

    Today, we want to look further as how we can make disciples that are true disciples.

    Let’s review what we have studied so far on our series “Jesus Christ, Disciple-Maker.” The first sermon in this series was “How Jesus Made Disciples.” This sermon focused on Christ’s command and how it was preceded by 3 ½ years of training by example. Jesus ...read more

    God honors the prayer that crys out to him for mercy. It does not have to be a lengthy prayer but when it is from our heart it will reach his.

    I’m sure many of you are familiar with the nursery rhyme that goes like this “Little Jack Horner, sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie, he put in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said ……(wait for congregation to answer) what a good boy am I”. Before anyone ...read more

    Needless to say, that well-meaning expression of “Money Cometh” was not the words Jesus, the Christ would have chosen to say.

    JESUS SAID 'GO YE THEREFORE INTO THE WORLD.' NOT 'SIT YOU ON THE CHURCH PEW AND FOREVER STARE.' In our capitalist society, a person travels the halls of the elementary, middle, and high school system for 12 years on a designed course to graduate into the world as a potentially productive citizen. ...read more

    When you sin, don’t wallow in self-pity and make these absurd promises to God that you know you can’t keep. Just be honest with God -- admit that you've sinned -- and go back to following Him. That’s all he wants.

    Our value as a person has nothing to do with having our name on the up in lights. God loves us; we can’t improve on that! You don’t have to try and prove you are worthwhile by sneaking your nametag a little higher up on the table. And praise God for that!

    Luke 14:1-14 “The Religion Police” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Luke opens chapter 14 by telling us that Jesus “went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,” on the Sabbath and that “he was being carefully ...read more
