Looking For God In The Wrong Places

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 20, 2017

The sermon focuses on the unimpressive sign the angels point to: a baby in a manger. Not much that's flashy about that. What are the ways that God comes into our lives that don't initially look impressive but are important and meaningful.

That’s All You’ve Got? Taken at face value, the angel’s sign is pretty unimpressive. - Luke 2:12. - Luke 4:17-21; Luke 4:41; Luke 5:14; Luke 13:18-21; 1 Corinthians 1:26-30. - We get entranced by the Christmas story and the swaddling clothes and manger and don’t see it for what it is.

Fasting 2018

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jan 20, 2018

FASTING 2018 . Fasting does not give us power to heal the sick or cast out demons. God's Word does that. Fasting brings us in the place where we can believe God’s Word. We are drawn closer to the Lord.

The Practical Points Of Conversing With God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021

Nehemiah's prayer was an example in practicality, specificity and common sense when coming before the LORD with our needs and burdens. Prayer is an orderly time of conversing with God, who wants to hear from you daily.

The Lord Needs It - Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

In Luke 19:31-34 we see a man give permission for Jesus to use his donkey. In this small act, he was able to play a role in what God was doing on the earth. Will we surrender all because "the Lord needs it" and be a tool in His hand as well?

Have you ever been in a situation where you really needed some help? The situation had just gotten out of hand. It was too difficult, too painful, you were trapped and there was nothing you could do about it. You really needed someone who could come into your situation and make things right. That ...read more

The American Philosophy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2021

God blessed this nation over the two hundred and fifty years it has existed, but our sins and growing hatred of God has reduced it to a rubble of what it once was. Can anything be done for America to steer it back to its Judeo-Christian foundation? You may not like the answer.

This is a sermon I preached a few years ago and recently reviewed it for any rewrites, revisions, or updates. Considering all the anger, rage, chaos, and moral rot we see in this country, I saw no need to change what the Lord had impressed upon me. Even now it cries out to anyone having ears to ...read more
