    The Work Christ accomplished on the Cross is more than we can know. As we look at some of the details, we can appreciate the benefits of Jesus’ death on our behalf.

    The Bleak Time (Matt. 27:45-55, John 19:30) [note: I originally preached on this text ten years earlier; this outline is revised and I have added some significant bits of information from my developing Jewish Roots perspective] 1.

    The Theology Of The Cross

     | 2,356 views

    God works under opposites in order to help mature us in our faith so that we might appreciate even more the miracle of His love. And that love is truly miraculous.

    The Theology of the Cross God sometimes does not work in the ways which we would expect our God to work. Sometimes, He does not always give us what we want. Sometimes, there are moments in our life where God seems so far away. We pray to Him and nothing happens. We look at God to intervene in our ...read more

    Exploring the Garden of Gethsemane, we delve into the profound strength of prayer as demonstrated by Jesus. This sermon aims to help us appreciate the gift of prayer that God has generously given us.

    As we examine the Garden at Gethsemane, the place where Jesus prayed, let us recognize the incredible power of prayer that God has graciously given us. The Garden at Gethsemane holds various images in our minds - images of prayer, agony, and betrayal. It is a beautiful location, and tourists ...read more

    I Kings 17 is a litany of the events that shaped and prepared Elijah for his greatest challenge (facing the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel). How did God use these circumstances to train Elijah... and how does God use events in our lives to train us?

    Many young pastors have asked me to share with them ideas on how to create a funeral message. Here is one such example for a family that appreciates the traditional format of worship. Peace be with you.

    A funeral sermon for the family and loved ones of Werner K____. February 14, 2004 Grace, mercy and peace to you all from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Dear family, as you know Werner wanted to have the hymn, “Take my life and Let it Be” sung today. He knew that the hymn was in fact a ...read more

    This is a sermon written for teacher appreciation Sunday, but it has a timeless message on the true meaning of love. True and sincere Christ Love, loves not to change someone, but just so the person will feel loved.

    "WHEN IT DOESN’T STICK" (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) Introduction: GOD BLESS THE TEACHERS! In Fact, God Bless Anyone Who Has The Almost Impossible Task Of Teaching Children I don’t know that there is another job that has as many challenges, with as few rewards. Kids ...read more

    So, we need to look back over our life (PAST) – then we need to sing and give thanks (PRESENT, appreciation) - then we need to trust GOD for the results, (FUTURE, expectation)

    If you want to exchange an attitude of defeat for an attitude of victory in your life, then fully follow the Lord, because you have learned to fully appreciate all that He has given you.

    I thank God for the children we have in our church, because there is so much we can learn from them. I like this sentiment shared on the internet by Debi Zahn from Sandwich, Illinois. She says: When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are going to take over my yard. Kids ...read more

    God Chooses To Bless The World Through Fathers

    Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 22, 2017
     | 4,974 views

    We don't always appreciate the impact of fathers on the world. This message takes Abraham and the words spoken to him as a foundation for what it means to be a father. It's not just about providing for the household.

    On father's day I want to focus on the father of nations. In fact his name means Father of Nations. His name is Abraham. Abraham was just a regular man, but God called him, gave him a purpose, and rewarded him with a great inheritance. We can learn something about the importance of fathers from ...read more

    If we love God, we will truly love the things we ought to love and we'll find some other way of expressing our appreciation for the material things we have.

    The passage from Hosea 11:1-10 is a story of God mourning over his people. He loved Israel like a parent loves a child, but Israel spurned him. Even though he was rejected, God still loved Israel and could not renounce his chosen people. It is a metaphor for what Jesus did. Jesus was rejected by ...read more

    DREAM BIGGER: Thanksgiving and appreciation are cousins to HOPE. When you marry a person you get the whole family. If we desire HOPE, than we must develop an attitude of thanksgiving.

    This sermon aims to explore and appreciate the blessings and opportunities of singleness as a unique gift from God, emphasizing that being single does not equate to being alone, as we are part of God's vast family.

    Good morning, family. Today's focus is a little bit different but equally important. We have all heard numerous sermons on the joys of marriage, the importance of family, but today we are going to ponder upon the blessings of singleness.

    As believers, we are called to bless others, regardless of their response. By focusing on others, appreciating their good qualities, and speaking well of them, we can invoke God's authority and bring blessings into their lives.

    You know how in video games, you get power-ups or bonuses that give you extra points or abilities? Well, in real life, we have something similar, and it's called blessings. You remember the story of the Israelites, right? They were wandering in the desert, and God gave them this awesome blessing ...read more

    God has enough or more than enough to meet any need we have. We have to believe that he wants our needs to be met, we have to be a consistent person to be in his flow, and we need to be grateful and appreciate what he does for us.
