Sermons on Much Talking:

Apostolic Authority Series

Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Feb 12, 2011

Paul is talking about the way some people questioned the way himself and other men of God were being paid by the Church. Questioning about administration is something natural.

1 Corinthians 9:1-9 1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do ...read more

Forgive Us Our Debts: "A River Runs Through It" And The Lord's Prayer Series

Contributed by Bobby Gilles on Nov 3, 2015

Debt traps us in a life of despair. And it goes much deeper than financial debt. Jesus provides the only escape from a deeper, darker debt that is propelling us forward to a day of reckoning.

Good morning. My name is Bobby Gilles; I’m on staff here. For the past few weeks we’ve been preaching through the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer Jesus taught us to pray. Today we arrive at the final two verses: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. and lead ...read more

"Cross" Your Heart Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 10, 2015

In the cross, Jesus illustrates the relationship that we have with God (the vertical) and others (the horizontal). It appears that God places a much higher emphasis on the horizontal than we may realize.

Is There Room In Your Inn

Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Dec 20, 2010

This lesson talks about how Jesus was laid in a manger because there was no room for him in the inn. Then compares that thought with our hearts as an inn and if we have room for Jesus in us.

Is There Room In Your Inn? (Luke 2:1-7) Introduction: A. I heard on the radio that a GPS company had given several very small GPS transmitters to non-profits, especially churches. There had been a rash of people steeling Jesus from nativity scenes outside churches. With the GPS transmitters, ...read more

The Boy Jesus Series

Contributed by John Hamby on Jan 7, 2002

Out of all the things that Luke must have heard from Mary, he has chosen only this one incident, perhaps because it reveals so much to us.

A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 5 “The Boy Jesus” Luke 2:39-52 Initially when we look at the story recorded in the last section of the second chapter of Luke, there seems to be little of consequence, a part of the ...read more

Isaiah's Woes

Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005

In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounces God’s coming judgment on a sinful society. Much of what Isaiah taught applies to the West today. We need to pray for forgiveness

Isaiah 5:8-30 I think we might well call Isaiah’s fifth chapter the chapter of ’woes’! And for that reason we tend to skip it by. It’s all too judgmental and too depressing. We say we want something to cheer us on our way; we want something to lift our spirits. We don’t want all this judgemental ...read more

Noah can teach so much how to be a Crazy Christian, someone who is radically obedient to what God wants, even when it doesn’t make sense.

Noah - The Crazy Weatherman Pastor Glenn Newton June 5, 2005 Genesis 6: 5-22 Read The first thing I notice in our passage this morning, in verse 5 and 6, is that God is watching us, not only as individuals and how we live, but also as a whole... as His creation.

"Should We Really Be Afraid Of Death?”

Contributed by Paul Weidner on May 26, 2004

If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

Easter And The Savior Of Today

Contributed by David Taylor on Apr 26, 2003

Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more
