Seeing Past The Labels Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008

We tend to think that the whole goal is to “get saved.” But God wasn‟t interested in just saving us a future eternity. Jesus came to start a revolution in the here and now! Jesus came to turn the world right side up and inside out.

1. Overview and Review a. We have been learning what it means to be turned inside out, both on a personal level and on a church wide level. b. God finds every one of us inside centered, self-focused, self-absorbed, self-interested, and selfish. But that doesn‟t stop Him does it? He found ...read more

Contributed by Daniel J. Little on Feb 21, 2012

How do you encourage yourself when times get tough? You remember the blessings.

A Change Of Mind

Contributed by Paul Davidson on Jun 12, 2017

Christianity is not something that can be chosen from a buffet of religious options… It's a realization that we're guilty… It's a relationship forged in repentance... It's a life of loving service & obedience to the One whose mercy & grace set us free.

CORE MESSAGE: Christianity is not something that can be chosen from a buffet of religious options… It is a realization that we are guilty and full of shame before a holy, righteous God… It is a relationship that is forged out of our abject humility as we lay prostrate before God in repentance...

Love Is Not Rude!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 18, 2018

This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Luke 7:36-50 A. As most of you realize, during the last 2 weeks I have based my messages on Paul's description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...read more

Thanksgiving Is A Time To Be… Thankful.

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Nov 25, 2014

The Unmerciful Servant

Contributed by Alan Perkins on May 26, 2002

Those who appreciate the depth of sin that God has forgiven in them will forgive others as well.

This morning, we continue our journey through the parables of Christ. Parables, as I’ve noted before, are short and simple. They don’t have complex plots, or dozens of characters, like a Russian novel. You don’t need a Ph.D. in theology or Hebrew literature to understand them. And yet, despite ...read more

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jan 3, 2001

Paul, what is so important about politeness? It sounds like a rather wimpy subject to me.

Thanks Be To God! Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 21, 2010

As I researched this sermon, I discovered a powerful message in Paul’s thanksgiving that was both simple and profound. What it taught me has changed my entire view of how to give thanks.

There’s a supposedly true story about a family was seated around their Thanksgiving table. As was their custom everyone shared what they were thankful for. From the oldest to the youngest, they each took their turn to express their praise. When they came to the 5 year old in the family, he ...read more

Murder Mystery

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 10, 2011

Anger, the impulse to destroy, is the direct opposite of love, the force which gives life. This is why anger is equivalent to murder in the eyes of God, who looks on the heart.

Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. Or maybe you're not that vain, or not as self-conscious.
