Lazarus And The Dogs

Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Sep 24, 2010

How has worldliness and sin clouded our view of other people and their motives? What gentle touches have we missed because our hearts are hardened to God and fellow children of God?

How Can This Be?

Contributed by Casey Campbell on Feb 19, 2013

Sermon makes a biblical argument for a return to "spiritual" Christianity as opposed to "biblical" Christianity. Christian unity, prosperity, and hope are gifts of the Spirit that we may be missing in our (misplaced) commitment to Scripture. The sermon

Articles and manuscripts and talking heads across the country announce and bemoan and celebrate (depending on their particular proclivity) in the news that "biblical" Christianity is in decline. As numbers decline and influence wanes, there is much evangelical hand-wringing and second-guessing and ...read more

Where Is The Line For Jesus

Contributed by Ronnie Thrower on Dec 13, 2015

I believe many missed the messages that God had sent through His prophets or they knew it and just didn’t care! Why should we seek to be in line to see Jesus?

Where is the line? Luke 2:1-20 A couple of years ago a holiday song was prompted by a 4-year-old's question, "Where's the Line to See Jesus?" and it went viral in less than two weeks on YouTube with more than a half a million hits. Becky Kelley's nephew Spencer Reijgers asked this question as ...read more

Fill Your Horn With Oil & Go!

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 3, 2018

The oil is often the missing ingredient in spiritual ministry. We can’t be on the cutting edge of the Spirit without filling our horns with oil. The oil is symbolic of the anointing, unction, power, presence of the Spirit.

FILL YOUR HORN WITH OIL & GO! 1 Sam. 16:1 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had two sons. One was named Mind Your Own Business & the other was named Trouble. 2. One day the two boys decided to play hide and seek. Trouble hid while Mind Your Own Business counted to one hundred. ...read more

Common Ways To Lead An Uncommon Life Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 28, 2023

Sometimes we see the big picture of how having faith in Christ leads to heaven but we miss the fact that He has so much to say about our every-day life.

When God became man in the person of Jesus He came to earth as regular people. He wasn’t surrounded in thunderbolts, He wasn’t wearing a halo around His head. He came into this world as the helpless child of an everyday couple. He skinned his knuckles in the carpenter’s shop of his stepfather ...read more

The Wedding Model Of Communion

Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus keeps returning to the model of marriage to describe our relationship with God. We often miss is the significance of our covenant of betrothal to Christ as solemnised in the Lord's Supper.

Many of you will have noted how I keep coming back to the subject of covenant when we come together for communion; that when we share the cup – even figuratively – we are reaffirming an agreement we have with God. The agreement is that we accept the gift of Christ’s death on the cross as atonement ...read more

Open Door Of Opportunity Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 22, 2022

When you find that God has opened a door you do not want to miss the blessing of going through it. Once Jesus closes that door there is nobody who can open it.

Oftentimes life’s great opportunities last only for a moment. You must seize that moment. It is the time to grab the brass ring. Take advantage of the opportunity or it will be gone. I am talking about real life changing opportunities that we have. These are the moments when you sense there is a ...read more

Today, I want to share with you we have a guide; His name is Jesus. And, if you are not trusting the Guide to walk you through this life, then you are missing the “more” of the Christian life.

Apostles In The Church

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019

Does it ever feel like the church is timid, afraid to take on new challenges? When we have those feelings, it may be because we are missing an important ministry of the church: the ministry of apostle.

Does it ever feel like the church never changes, or at least that if it does change, then the wheels of change turn very, very slowly? Does it ever feel like the church is timid, afraid to take on new challenges? Does it ever feel like the church is so busy just holding its own, surviving, that ...read more

Shalom

Contributed by Paulo Fernandes on Jun 8, 2025

We often translate this Hebrew word simply as "peace" in English. But if we reduce shalom to just "peace," we miss so much of its rich meaning.
