     | 5,722 views

    This sermon addresses burnout in the ministry and how the Christian should maintain a balance of work, worship and rest.

    If you brought your Bible with you I would like to invite you to turn with me to Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus gives us a very helpful perspective on life. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more ...read more

    Do you really believe Jonah was swallowed by a whale? Do you seriously think that Jesus actually fed five thousand people using only five loaves of bread and two fish? The tone and trend of many ‘modern’ sceptics is one of incredulity, surely, they say,

    John 14:8-14 (New International Version) 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?

    Challenges the congregation to look at their idols of success, greed and entertainment.

    An American Idol? Judges 17:7-18:25 I have deliberately chosen the name of a popular TV show for the sermon title. The winners on that show do go on to become idols for many young people. I don’t want us to think about rock stars tonight, but of idols in a deeper sense. The Roots of Idolatry In ...read more

    Teaching of Gods covanent, Gods promise and the glory of his temple, the silver and gold are Gods and Gods alone, the blessings he brings to those who seek and love him and him alone

    Intro - History Haggai means festival, feast, festive, I get the impression from reading this book that Haggai was the least scary of the OT prophets, a man with a heart of love, not condemning but trying to help the people truly find God and all his blessings for them. The prophet was most likely ...read more

    Contributed by Edward Nutter on May 22, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,306 views

    We need to put on the full armor of God, and not the armor of the world, in order to succeed in life.

    As a drunk man staggers out of a bar, a firetruck races past, siren wailing and lights flashing. Immediately, he starts chasing the engine, running as fast as he can until he finally collapses. “If that’s the way you want it,” he yells, “you can keep your stupid ice cream!” It’s amazing how ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,284 views

    The women came to the tomb of Jesus "early in the morning." Scripture teaches us to seek Him early in the morning, early in life, and early on in every endeavor.

    Seek Him Early Easter CHCC: April 8, 2007 Mark 11 INTRODUCTION: How many of you were here at 7:30 for the Sunrise Service? Did you leap out of bed at 6:00 this morning, full of energy and excitement? I don’t know about you, but I have to set an alarm and drag myself out of bed most ...read more

    In many churches you will find unbalanced Christians: Those who are strong on holiness but weak on ministry. Those who are strong on ministry but weak on holiness. God wants those who are strong on holiness and ministry, the balanced Christian.

    CHRISTIANITY: A BALANCED LIFE (Based on the book by Mike Cope entitled: Living Between Two Worlds) A. John 17:9-19 (READ) COMMENT: As you listen to Jesus’ PRAYER you since a DILEMMA in our Lord.

    Part of an Easter series, this sermon looks at the Centurion and his response to his encounter with Christ.

    Just Doing My Job Mt. 27:27-54 Illus. One of the things I loved as a paramedic was that it was anything but routine. •We were trained to expect the unexpected, to be ready for anything. And yet, there were some drawbacks. Every time the call went out, someone was facing a crisis that would change ...read more

  • Jesus- The Mighty God Series

     | 12,393 views

    Consider the meaning of the phrase, "Mighty God," taken from Isaiah 9:6.

    What do you believe about Jesus Christ? Your ideas might be captured in the following letter written by a third grader. One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn’t make grown-ups, ...read more

  • Counting The Cost Luck And Providence Luke 14__25-33 Philemon 1—25

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Dec 16, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,592 views

    From our position as disciples of Christ, we are not able to determine Good from Evil in the events that overtake us; we trust in God to make everything work together for good.

    COUNTING THE COST Luck AND PROVIDENCE Luke 14__25- 33 PHILEMON 1—25 Luke 14:25-33 A poor aged Chinese farmer had a single horse on which he depended for everything.

  • Pray And Believe! Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Sep 7, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,599 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    A Harvest Sermon on the theme of protection our God given environment

    Creation is a tremendous mystery. You can begin to understand what a wonderful mystery creation is when you get asked a question like ’Where did God come from?’ Now an obvious answer to that question is ’well, God didn’t come from anywhere, he has always been here.’ Then you read the opening words ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,437 views

    Use Jesus’ teaching to demonstrate God’s desire for us to reach out to the poor and lost and the eternal implications of a real place of torment called hell for those who do not worship (love) God as revealed through Jesus’ resurrection.

    We continue today on our 40 day journey through the season of Lent as we walk with Jesus to the cross and to resurrection. During our Lenten journey we have been focusing on Jesus’ teachings on the way to the cross from Luke’s gospel. This is the section from Luke 9:50 until his arrest and death ...read more

  • The Bald Eagle Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 6, 2008
    based on 20 ratings
     | 14,611 views

    Micah’s symbol of the bald eagle, a sign of grief, applies to America. We are abandoning justice, kindness, and the humble walk with God. Our collapse is from within rather than from without. Yet God has sent a different kind of conqueror to redeem us.

    What we see is more powerful than what we hear. The visual always trumps the audible. I learned a long time ago that what people see is more powerful than what they hear. I learned it when I sat through an education professor’s hour-long lecture about why lecturing was the least effective way to ...read more
