    If you really start to believe in who Jesus really said He was, then you’ve got to entertain the notion that he could radically change YOU too! That is scary!

    Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at ...read more

    based on 41 ratings
     | 6,874 views

    This sermon considers the all-too frequent reality of failure in our lives. We’ll look at disciples of Jesus who were well versed in it and how they dealt with it. There is hope!

    FAILURE -- the word conjures up a bad mental taste. It is such a predominant reality among us that there is an E-magazine website – www.failure.com with a wide selection of failure paraphernalia – mugs, t-shirts, baseball caps! Who has not tasted the bitter drink of failure – an exam; having to ...read more

     | 2,979 views

    Christmas Sunday 1987: The way to be free is to give oneself away, as Jesus did. We exalt Him because He became servant of all. That is the way to freedom for us too.

    At Christmas time, all the rules change. At Christmas time, the boundaries get opened up and widened. Children who for eleven and a half months of the year are told, “We can't afford that, suddenly are permitted to spring to Santa's knee and express their desires for the latest and most ...read more

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on May 11, 2010
     | 5,359 views

    Apostasy, which basically refers to a backsliding or turning away from God, is unfortunately, something that is all too commonplace. This sermon deals with some ways in which apostasy can be averted.

    Averting An Apostasy Text: Judges 2:7-10 Intro: The word “apostasy” sounds a little ominous, doesn’t it? In very fact, the word definitely has a negative connotation.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,800 views

    Jesus taught about fasting as if it were something his listeners regularly did. It is assumed that we will practice fasting too. What are the mechanics of it and why should we do it?

    THINK “FAST”! You all broke something this morning. You may not know it but you did – you broke something. Some of us have night snack, while others don’t eat anything between supper and a certain meal the next morning. That time between eating in the evening and eating in the morning is actually ...read more

    Worship: Sense And The Senses

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 3, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,772 views

    Too often it is true that those who pray do not work and those who work do not pray. Real worship will engage our entire beings and will empower us for action.

    I’m sure you know the statement which Jesus made, "God is a spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." We want to think today about both spirit and truth. Worshipping in both modes. Over the door of the monastery hung a sign. It read, "To pray is to work; to work ...read more
