    Paul uses the example of the athlete because it was something his readers were familiar with, and the idea he wants to convey to them here is that they began the Christian life with dedication and enthusiasm.

    The Proof Of Easter

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 30, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,879 views

    In a time when many deny the existence of Jesus and the fact He arose, we offer the biblical story and compare it to some of the worldly explanations about Jesus and the tomb, using the truth found in facts.

    There are many thoughts as to what actually happened on that first Easter so many years ago, or what it actually means to us today. That is what we will address today. So, if you would, please open your Bibles to LUKE 24. We will begin there, but first . . . What do you think a good sermon ...read more

    The Least Of These Series

    Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Sep 21, 2015
     | 13,430 views

    Sermon series intro. Concept is borrowed from a series by Tim Cook, a fellow preacher. A study of "the least of these" and how the church can help them, accompanied by practical application for the whole church family to do together.

    Intro: I know I keep saying this, but did you notice that in the Scripture we had read today, there are 2 groups? 2 – those who go into eternal life, and those who go into eternal punishment. There’s no 3rd group. And the main difference between these groups is the way they treated ...read more

    Tychicus, Onesimus, and Aristarchus chose to chain themselves to ministries of encouragement, inclusion, and support.

    If you follow the rock music scene, I guess I should hurry to assure you that the sermon today is not about a heavy metal group, nor is it about some kind of kinky fetish. The theme, "A Motley Crew, In Chains" is evoked by the long list of names which Paul singles out as he finishes the Colossian ...read more

    When we love the food, we want to tell everyone about the restaurant.

    Raise your hand if you had a favorite restaurant growing up. I don’t mean fast food. I mean the place you went for birthdays, or homecoming dances. For me, it was Red Lobster. I grew up thinking Red Lobster was just the pinnacle of swank. To this day, I still love Red Lobster. Trish is allergic ...read more

    What did the washing of the feet imply and why did Peter object? His desire was to be fully given to his Lord. Jesus promised a threefold denial that must have rocked Peter.

    Easter Message: Going All In

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 4, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,812 views

    Today's Easter Message is how Jesus went all the way in His death and burial, but also came all the way out in His resurrection. And to follow His example we need go all the way in in our relationship with Him, we'll come out saved, sanctified, and glorified in heaven.

    An Easter Message “Going All In” Billy Graham once told Time magazine, “If I were an enemy of Christianity, I would aim right at the Resurrection, because that is the heart of Christianity.” (Billy Graham) (Crosswalk “A World Without Easter”) You see, Christianity is all about Jesus going all in, ...read more
