Presenting Hands: Taking, Working, Giving Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 15, 2001

Follow the hands of Jacob, as they are involved in taking (because of his insecurity), in working for that which does not satisfy, but finally, in giving, as a result of their having wrestled with God. An appeal to struggle with God’s will.

Last week I began by giving you an eye test and an ear test. I wanted to help you discover that sometimes we don’t see what there is to see and we don’t hear what there is to hear. But God provides us vision and offers His word to help us with the “too much” in our world. Today I want to examine ...read more

Presenting Our Mouths: Swallowing, Spitting, Speaking Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 23, 2001

In order to be effective witnesses, we must first be knowledgeable -- swallowing God’s word; must then be cleansed spiritually -- spitting out whatever is no longer appropriate; and then speak with confidence and passion. Mini-messages with props.

Our mouths get us into trouble. One of you said that to me the other day. You had opened your mouth to voice an opinion about something that should be done in the community where you live, and before you knew it, you were chairing the committee to get it done. Nobody had even noticed you were in ...read more

A Lesson On God's Love Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 15, 2001

This is a look at God’s love

INTRODUCTION  An overzealous preacher felt it was his calling to aggressively "make" people become Christians as they would ride on the city bus system.

Deadly Morsels

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 7, 2000

The consequences of unbelief can be far-reaching; which is one reason God calls unbelief ’evil’.

There is an old story of an eagle who, on an early morning during the Spring thaw, soared high above the forest looking for something to eat. As he followed the course of a river he looked down and spied a small rodent, trapped on a piece of ice that had broken free and was floating down ...read more

Confessing To One Another Series

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 16, 2000

An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 7

When I chose this topic as the final installment of our study on the ‘one another’ verses, it was chosen as last only by virtue of where it fell in the New Testament. The first one, “Building Up One Another” was from Romans 14, and each sermon after that has come in order of the epistles ...read more

Fragile: Handle With Care

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

Our eternal salvation is secure because of Christ, but when it comes to the daily routine of following the Lord, we desperately need God's grace each day.

Every now and then I receive, or send, a package labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care." It might be a very expensive crystal vase inside, or maybe it is just a small toy, but the purpose of the label is to warn the friendly UPS, or Postal Service, employee that if they are not careful how they handle ...read more

A Dream Come True

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

Like Simeon we need to realize that if all we had was Jesus Christ, that would be enough; with Jesus, our life is complete and we can be content.

Children often dream about things they would like to do in the future. I suspect traveling in space as an astronaut, playing football in the NFL, making the Olympic figure skating team, or driving a $100,000 sports car are some of the more popular ones. When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the ...read more

Who Are You Trying To Fool? Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 5, 2000

A look at some of the ways we try to deceive others, ourselves and God.

Last week I mentioned how violated we felt when we had something stolen, when someone took what belonged to us. I think that if we were honest today we’d all agree that there is a very similar feeling of violation that comes when we feel that we have been deceived. Most relationships can take ...read more

Responding To Peter's Preaching Series

Contributed by Bob Briggs on Dec 8, 2000

Hearing the word of God has a variety of reponses as Peter found out.

I. The Call for Repentance given by Peter Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your ...read more

Is That Your Final Answer?

Contributed by Lee Huddleston on Jan 4, 2001

An envangelistic message based on the popular game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"

"Is That Your Final Answer?" It’s amazing what catches on and what doesn’t in our culture, isn’t it? ABC’s game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" became a smash hit last year and a rating champions-so much so that they run the show several night a week. Regis Philbin has become a superstar. ...read more
