    Many people are talking about Mel Gibson’s new movie "The Passion of the Christ." This study will take a deeper look at the Roman scourging and crucifixion that Jesus willingly endured on our behalf.

    The Passion: The Rest of the Story William Hill, who was the founder of Hopewell Presbyterian Church, used to tell the story of an old preacher who was approached by some of the members in his congregation. The members told him that he was boring them to tears and that their patience was wearing ...read more

    This is the first of a series of sermons based on movie themes, an idea I borrowed from West Family Church in the Kansas City area while I was visiting there this summer. We are not wired to play God.

    SLIDE 1 BRUCE ALMIGHTY (ME ALMIGHTY) Stop Playing God and Discover God Almighty’s Plan Good morning and welcome to Bethany—greet guests, etc. SLIDE 2 How many of you have been to the movies this summer? It seems like I get to the movies more in the summer than any other time. How does that ...read more

    Abimelech, probably thinking that he can form an alliance with Abraham who is a wealthy man, decides to take Sarah into his harem. Abimelech may be the CO-STAR in this movie but he deserves the Oscar.

    Part 4 - Genesis 20:1-18 - BUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT! "IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I DIDN'T DO IT!" I remember my protests fell on deaf ears and I was made to go to my room without dinner until I confessed. My mother insisted that it was me, probably because of the lie my sister told her. I ...read more

    Three Men And A Baby

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 17, 2017
     | 6,745 views

    "3 Men and a Baby" was a spoof movie on how men don't know how to care for babies. The Wise Men seemed that way, but they followed the star, persevered in their search, and entered in to know Christ

    THREE MEN AND A BABY Matt. 2:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: ENTERING HEAVEN 1. Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven." 2. ...read more

    The premise of the movie was for George to find out what would have happened… how life would be different, if he had never lived. What if Jesus Had Never Been Born?

    Ephesians 2: 1-3, 11-12 It’s a Wonderful Life Movie Plot: Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a local good guy with a beautiful family, lots of friends and a good job at the family bank.

    CHRISTMAS has been hijacked in America. And unlike the latest Tim Allen movie, it’s not Santa who needs to be rescued. It’s the very meaning of Christmas itself.

    This week, we begin a new series titled, "Christmas Through the Ages." Beginning with the current celebration of Christmas, we will travel back in time, looking at Christmas celebrations, until we arrive at the very first Christmas. Today we begin with Christmas 2013 - A Hijacked Holiday." What ...read more

     | 3,219 views

    In this sermon, I use the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate some important spiritual truths about the real identity of Jesus and how the story of Jesus is fact and not fiction.

    Introduction: A. Every year, I look forward to our special worship service on the Sunday before Christmas. 1. I hope and pray that you have a very happy and healthy Christmas holiday filled with much joy and peace. 2. Although none of us knows the exact day when Jesus Christ was born, His coming ...read more

    Pentecostal Fire Or Hell Fire

    Contributed by Ernie Arnold on May 20, 2015
    based on 10 ratings
     | 23,183 views

    The Bible shares with us two different fires - the Fire of the Holy Spirit and the Fire of Hell. This sermon shares four different ways they are both similar and yet vastly different. It is a way to use the metaphor of fire in a sermon on Pentecost.

    Scripture: Acts 1:1-13 and Luke 16:19-31 Theme: Pentecostal Fire or Hell Fire? INTRO: Good morning! A few years ago, the story goes that a certain pastor asked his congregation as rather particular question on Pentecost Sunday. He asked all those sitting in the sanctuary, “How ...read more

    Bond Slave Of Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2017
     | 6,818 views

    The more deeply a person surrenders to Christ and becomes dependent on Him daily, the more likely they are to finish the spiritual race in victory. Early Christians described it with the metaphor "bond-slave." It's what we're supposed to be!

    BOND SLAVE OF CHRIST 1 Cor. 6:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: A SURE-FIRE SOLUTION 1. "I could sure do with your help, Steve," Isaac said to his best friend. “All right, so what's your problem?" replied Steve. 2. "Whenever I talk to my wife," replied Isaac, "she never seems to be interested in ...read more

    Splash Of Colour -A Night To Remember Christmas Eve...2

    Contributed by John Gullick on Dec 23, 2015
     | 3,545 views

    2nd sermon of this title by me ten years apart. This one is for Christmas 2015 - uses a metaphor that Christmas eve is a splash of colour on a black backdrop of history. I will probably do a painting as I preach it.

    Christmas eve. A night to remember LK 2:8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be ...read more

    The Armor Of God Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Nov 7, 2020
     | 4,809 views

    1) The Belt of Truth (Ephesians 6:14a) , 2) The Breastplate of Righteousness (Ephesians 6:14b), and 3) Feet prepared with the Gospel (Ephesians 6:15) These are metaphors for the spiritual resources given to those in Christ.

    Ephesians 6:14-15 [14] Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. (ESV). The retailer “Whole Foods” raised great hostility this week when they ...read more
