    GOD’S GREATEST GIFT A. Christmas can be a STRESSFUL time of year, especially if you, like many of us, wait until the last minute to BUY your GIFTS. 1.

  • All I (Really) Want For Christmas

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 23, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,851 views

    Like Joseph, we think we want freedom from embarassment, but we really want love. We think we want an ordinary life, but we really want to be special. We think we want a little support, but we get the presence of the Living God

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those who thinks we should do away with gift-giving at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part of the joy of the ...read more

    A sermon that considers the call to love one another as a primary call on our love in the Christian church.

As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." 13:34 A new command. In a sense it was an old one (see Lev 19:18), but for Christ’s disciples it was new, ...read more

  • How To Respond When God Calls

    Contributed by Andy Grossman on Mar 23, 2007

    The disciples responded immediately to Jesus’ invitation. They left everything to follow. And heaven was their final destination.

    “How to Respond When Jesus Calls” 3/25/2007 Jesus was walking along the shore of the lake. I’m told it was much like Walker Lake, near Hawthorne, Nevada, where I once pastured. Kind of a treeless lake in the desert. But I imagine it could have been something like the north shore of Lake ...read more

    This is part III in the series 24. It is a first person narrative taken from the perspective of Caiaphas. The preaching idea: you can’t be your own high priest!

    Have you ever wished you could communicate with a loved one who has already passed on? Have you ever thought that perhaps that loved one wishes he or she could communicate with you as well? In 1999 a film was released that allowed us to imagine that communication across the great chasm that ...read more

  • Faces: Samson Part 2 Series

    Contributed by John Braland on Apr 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,230 views

    Samson was reckless. He became arrogant in his self pursuits always assuming that God would bless him because he was special. He virtually abandoned his spiritual life over the course of 20 years then was shocked that God was gone. In the end, he lost

    Last week we learned that Samson was special. Even before he was born God had put a call on his life and all Samson had to do was walk into his calling. His calling was clear, God wanted to use Samson to move the Israelites out of their complacency because they were losing their identity. They ...read more

  • What Now, Disciples?

    Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Apr 7, 2007
     | 3,891 views

    What would the disciples do with the absence of their Lord? What would they do now? Yet, on that first Easter, the question was asked and the answers given over a period of time have changed the world. The question is for us today, "What now, disciple?

    JOHN 20:1-10 WHAT NOW, DISCIPLES? I. THE DARKNESS: * A. Doubts. B. Demoralization. C. Denials. Ii. THE DELIGHTS: ** A. Discovery. B. Defensible. C. Dedication. III. THE DIRECTIONS: *** A. Declarations. B. Dying. C. Dinning. If we could somehow ...read more

    based on 411 ratings
     | 196,085 views

    Using the story of the wise men to teach us how God seeks us and brings us to seek the Christ.

    The story of the wise men visiting the Christ child is an intriguing one. These men began a long trip to Israel simply because a particular star was in the sky, alerting them to the birth of the king of the Jews. They traveled for several months finally meet the Christ child in person. I believe ...read more

  • Jacob Wrestles With God - A Reflection On Genesis 32

    based on 19 ratings
     | 23,294 views

    Father Dave’s Sermon on wrestling with God. Real growth experiences always involve struggle and pain. And so Jacob, at the turning point of his life, wrestles all night with a dark and shadowy figure by the river Jabbok. He struggles. He fights. He is wo

    "Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. (25) When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. (26) Then he said, "Let me go, for the day is breaking." But Jacob said, "I ...read more

  • Jesus, Justice & Jubilee

    Contributed by David Smith on Jan 24, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,781 views

    Father Dave’s sermon on the relationship between evangelism, social justice and the Gospel. Why was the Gosepl proclaimed as ’Good news the poor’ and what was Jesus’ vision of Social Justice?

    There has been an unfortunate division in the church, that goes back over many years, between those who emphasise the preaching of the Gospel as the primary work of the church, and those who focus on issues of justice, love, and peace. It is regularly assumed that those who focus on the preaching ...read more

  • Letters To The 7 Churches 5 - Laodicea Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,407 views

    we need to resist the pressures of our culture to conform unthinkingly to the status quo and to compromise on the major principles of our faith. We need to recover the radical edge of Jesus’ teaching, that turns the values of the world upside down.

    It’s interesting how we can go from the two letters we saw last week where one church thought they were alive and were actually dead and another thought they were as good as dead but actually had plenty of life in them, to the final letter of the seven where the church is neither one thing nor the ...read more

    A look at Jesus’ instructions to His disciples in the steps for resolving disputes, restoring unity and restoration within the church and between individual believers.

    --ILL>One of Aesop’s fables is the story of the Lion and the Boar.
