God Its Impossible To Keep Going When I Feel Like Giving Up

Contributed by James Kelley on Dec 1, 2000

This sermon helps identify the common causes of depression and prescribes God’s cure for them.

I have been feeling a bit "down and blue" over the past few weeks and motivation to do anything has been sadly lacking. But thank the Lord for His amazing grace that reaches even downhearted pastors. I found great solace in an episode from Elijah’s life that is found in 1 Kings 19. Let me share ...read more

Transfiguration

Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 1, 2001

The word Transfiguration is another way to say transformed. We too have been transformed by the power of hte resurrection and hte love of Jesus.

One of my favorite parts of confirmation is the day we spend in the Church going over the special vocabulary that we have in the Church world. It is a funny thing that we have a different "Churchy" name for everything that we would otherwise call by its normal or non-churchy name. For example, ...read more

Yuck!! Not Another Sermon On Giving

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jan 24, 2003

A refreshing look at the touchy subject of giving.

How would you respond to a God whose lightest touch nearly shook a mountain off its foundation? Whose approach was announced by a loud trumpet blast? Whose very voice sound like the thunder of a rushing river? Most likely you would be extremely nervous just like the Israelites. Literally scared ...read more

Man's Relationship With The Environment

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 26, 2007

There is alot of discussion, today, about Man’s proper relationship to the environment. This is a study of some truths found in God’s Word that might help us formulate a godly viewpoint on Man’s relationship to Nature.

Man and Nature Since the 1960s, there has been a lot of controversy as to Man’s relationship to the environment and nature. There has grown a movement that seeks to place the value of the environment above the needs of Man. This is a reaction on the part of some to those who exploit the ...read more

A True Vision Of Christ

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on May 2, 2008

The transfiguration shows us Christ as he really is. It shows us that his authority is based on who he is, not what he has done.

See him as he really is What a transformation! There used to be a lot of makeover shows on TV, in which somebody’s appearance, dress or house was completely changed in a very short time. The change was very often dramatic, and they seemed to be quite different people after than they were before, ...read more

Lord Of All: Lord Indeed Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 18, 2012

Transfiguration Sunday: Who is Jesus? Maybe better asked, "Who is Jesus to you?" We fail to truly recognize Jesus when we don’t understand his full divinity and his willingness to suffer and die on the cross for our sake.

Who is Jesus? - All-around great guy? Great teacher? Prophet? Savior? God? If you wanted to take the easy way out – your answer would simply be, “Yes.” But I’m not going to let you get away with that. Truly knowing Jesus touches more than understanding. It touches more than knowing ...read more
