    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 1, 2017
     | 11,387 views

    When Paul and John Mark had a falling out, the dispute was so sharp that each man took a new assistant and traveled in a different direction; Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus, and Paul chose Silas and departed for Cilicia.

    Capernaum Lesson: Pattern for Conduct in the Church Matthew 18:15-20 In Matthew 18:15-20, Jesus gave His procedure for dealing with people problems that arise within a church. There is no perfect church, because there are no perfect people. I heard a man say one time, “I wouldn’t belong to any ...read more

    Where Are You?

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 7, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,701 views

    This sermon examines God's question in Genesis 3:9: "Where are you?" It looks at where are Adam and Eve in relation to God. It looks at where we are, and where God can be found. This sermon also uses the analogy of Hide and Seek to advance the thought.

    For some reason, it seems that every kid loves the game, “Hide and Seek.” My siblings have always enjoyed it. My cousins have always liked it, and it is one of my nephew’s favorite games. The children of my friends always want me to play it with them as well. Kids love to hide, and then to be ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 11, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,345 views

    Mankind has a tendency for pride and self-promotion. Pride results from our fallen state, revealing itself early in life. It has no conscience, seeking only self-satisfaction. Jesus reveals the remedy for pride.

    The Pitfalls of Pride Mark 10: 35-45 Man by his very nature has a tendency toward pride and self-promotion. The attributes associated with pride are revealed at a very early age. Children don’t have to be taught to be selfish; this characteristic is within their nature. Left unchecked our pride ...read more

     | 3,893 views

    A personal story of my first few years in ministry. I tie it into the fact that when you are doing effective ministry you will have enemies. Just as Christ did.

    I was 21 when I first set foot in Connecticut Valley Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. I was nearly a month married, full of enthusiasm and excitement for the adventure of “real” life. Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

    Value human life, regardless of abilities or productiveness. In practical ways, be a) pro-life, and b) pro-dignity.

    VALUE LIFE—Exodus 20:13, Genesis 9:1-6 The sixth commandment is short: “Don’t murder” Isn’t that obvious? Unlike some commandments, most people agree with this one. Yet the commandment points us to a deeper understanding of the value of human life. WHY should we value human life, above all other ...read more

    I delivered this eulogy in 2014 at the memorial service of my nieces baby boy who died a few days after birth. Thought I’d share it. I hope it blesses you.

    In times like these the first question we often ask is “Why?” And that’s a legitimate question that we’re going to answer here today. But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more
