    Marriage is a wonderful gift from God to humankind. When we live and love up to the promise of marriage it really is a taste of heaven.

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 10, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,146 views

    Jesus understood when, how, and why to "chill": when His emotional energies had been drained; how to back off the need to be needed; and for the purpose of providing a still point of healing for others.

    If there is any one thing that distinguishes my generation and later generations, like the Gen-xers, it is that we have totally different attitudes about work and play. We are light years apart about what we expect from work or what we want from play. People born before and during the ...read more

    A Pharisee and a tax-collector bump into eachother at the temple. This looks like a sitcom! ...

    “Jesus told them another joke”, we are told, “and He told this one to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on others.’ Now, I suspect that your translation probably says ‘parable’ rather than ‘joke’, but I think ‘joke’ is actually a very good translation.

     | 6,534 views

    If we are going to be disciples of Jesus then we must adopt His attitude toward sinners, and follow His example in reaching out to the lost.

    Introduction: A. I think that most of us know that God loves sinners and wants them to be saved. 1. The Apostle Paul wrote, “This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, ...read more

    ’I do not box as though beating the air’ - the little known fight career of St Paul! ...

    Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. (25) Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. (26) So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as ...read more

    Getting Real With God Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 26, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,352 views

    We treat God as though He were not present. Jesus shows us how to get real with God by admitting His feelings, by telling what He wanted, and by enlisting His friends in prayer, however inadequate. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    We are not going to debate this morning whether there is or is not a God. That’s settled, I would think, in this room. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with you. Picture a home in which there is a parent and a ...read more

     | 2,556 views

    A Labor Day message on providing caring services, but not simply as self-fulfillment, but as a means to witness.

    The true test of whether what you are doing is real is not how you feel about it when you start. The true test is whether you can keep going and complete your task. Anybody can get excited about a new job. But not everybody can stay by the stuff and finish. Some people get bored, or ...read more

    Rules are made to be broken--that is if they stand in the way of ministering to the needs of those around us. Jesus broke the rules and set people free.

    The Call To Discipleship

    Contributed by Vernon Price on Apr 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,248 views

    That is why the church of God must return to the preaching of the Cross. Yes, it offends. Yes, it alienates. Yes it is a stumbling block to many, and yes, it is sheer foolishness to others. But to those who believe, "It is the power of God unto salvation"
