    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 25, 2021
     | 2,009 views

    A golden opportunity for increased popularity presents itself, but Jesus uses the occasion to talk about what glory looks like in His "upside-down" kingdom.

    THE MOST POPULAR GUY IN TOWN? Jesus’ popularity reaches a new level when even the Greeks are interested in Him. - John 12:20-22. A RELATED IDEA? Jesus’ response is focused on glory. - John 12:23. - Is Jesus interested in glory the way that everyone else is or is He pointing them toward ...read more

    The Battle Of The Brides Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 25, 2025
     | 530 views

    God is teaching us that it doesn’t have to be an occasion for fear and desperation but, rather, can be a time to lean into God and pour out our grief out to Him.

    We are in our From Dust to Life series in the book of Genesis and last week in chapter 29 we saw how Jacob worked for his uncle Laban for seven years as a dowry payment for his daughter Rachel, the woman he loved. Laban agreed to this but did the bait and switch and gave Jacob his older daughter ...read more

    The World Demands A Life-Giving Vision Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2002
    based on 35 ratings
     | 7,092 views

    Sermon delivered in support of our theme for 2002, and on the occasion of our annual meeting. A vision brings death if it is not communicated; it is discerned in prayer; and it always calls for repentance for the incompleteness of our obedience.

    Two things you learn, if you are at all observant about churches. First, that church people do not agree on their vision of what the church should be about; and, second, that the world knows what the church ought to be about better than church people know. We who gather week by week as the church ...read more

    More Than Hatch, Match, And Dispatch Series

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,296 views

    The church is for far more than empty ceremony on occasions demanded by tradition; it is the steward of new life, with a rich and full experience that employs the diversity of gifts God has given it.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

    The Immensity Of God’s Resources

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 17, 2017
     | 5,387 views

    The raising of Christ from the dead was an awesome display of “power.” The "power" which He (God) exerted on that occasion was as great as that which He brought to bear during the six days of creation.

     | 8,164 views

    This first sermon in the series on the book of Colossians was used on the occasion of Thanksgiving Weekend. It looks at the three things for which Paul was Thankful in almost all of his epistles: Faith, Hope, and Love

    *Give Thanks To God* Col. 1:3-5 (Please note: A small portion of this sermon -- main points and subpoints are from the sermon of another though cannot remember who it was from. Probably 85 % of the message would be my own.) The following link will take you to an MP3 Audio recording of this sermon: ...read more

    The definition of love by Paul appears in two letters, one is here and another is in 1 Corinthians. Of course, he cites various occasions to explain the love of Christ and the love among the disciples.

    A boy had only heard his grandfather pray at Thanksgiving, Easter, and other special occasions; when he typically would say a long prayer of thanks over the food.

    Many of us struggle with the burden of taxes each year. What does Jesus have to say about paying taxes? He addressed the question of taxes on two separate occasions.

    Selective Memory Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 27, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
     | 13,173 views

    We use selective memory either to remember only pleasant things (denial) or only negative things (pessimism). God’s memory is an occasion of grace, for which we can be grateful.

    The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. Isn’t that ironic? The longer we live, the more there is to remember. And yet the more we remember, the more we forget as well. That could be due to several things. That could be ...read more

    Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

    Live For Today and Die Forever Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 1 ...read more

    Preaching For Maturity Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 13, 2024
     | 672 views

    The preaching on Sundays and on all other occasions is purposed to bring souls to Christ and leading them into maturity. Where there is spirit, there is freedom. As Jesus declared the purpose of preaching, we preach to the liberty of others.

    Theme: The Purpose of Preaching Text: Colossians 1:28-29 Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever. Paul, a Prisoner. At the end of Paul’s third missionary journey he stayed in Corinth (Acts 20:2, 1 Corinthians 16:6).  During this time, he wrote an epistle to the Romans ...read more

    This sermon focusses on the family of Psalms known as Laments. In a Lament the Psalmist brings his complaints and problems to God. A Lament is also an occasion when the faithfulness and care of God is questioned. Psalm 88 is the example.
