ILLUS: Chuck Swindoll told of his being at a pastor’s conference where he would be speaking. The first day there a man approached him and said how greatly he had looked forward to ...read more

    In Ephesians 4, we discover who we are in Christ by learning about the head of the church, the hands of the church, and the heart of the church.

    This scripture can be used to describe the serious problem that exists within many of our churches today.

    Title: Can these bones live again? Text: Ezekiel 37:1-10 Jokingly, we often say that Ezekiel was called to the worst congregation any preacher has ever faced. However, it pictures something many believers face in their Christian experience – the "hopeless situation." Introduction: At this time in ...read more

    Samuel was ready to hear from God. He had a servant’s heart (practice), he was in the tabernacle (proximity) and he was willing to listen (position).

    A Reformation Sunday sermon preached 10/25/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa that talks about the need for ongoing Reformation in the church today.

    Today is Reformation Sunday, the day each year where we gather in churches to sing “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”, the liturgical color for the day is red, some churches have special afternoon or evening services to commemorate the day, and we talk about Martin Luther.

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more

    Many people come to Jesus for different reasons. From Matt.15:21-39 we can see that these individuals and the crowd come to Jesus with Persistence, with Preference and with Possessions.

    There are many people who come to Jesus for different reasons. We can see at least one principle from each of them from Matthew 15:21-39. They come to Jesus with: 1. Persistence 2. Preference 3. Possessions All of them have something in common – a need is brought to Jesus, and Jesus meets the ...read more

    Back To Basics

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,841 views

    There are times when a church, however successful, must review the basics: do we love those whom we serve, are we able to love those with whom we disagree, and can we feel sheer, passionate love for Christ Himself?

    Where I come from, the real religion is basketball. Baptists, Methodists, and Catholics all take a distant back seat, because the real religion in the Commonwealth of Kentucky is basketball.

    June 30, 2013 Psalm 84 Why are you here this morning? If you pray, why? If you read the Bible, why? Is it out of duty? You feel you have to do it. And if you don’t, God will be mad at you and bad things may happen to you. I hope those aren’t the reasons. My hope is that we ...read more

    He That Winneth Souls Is Wise

    One of the things the devil has been very successful at, is getting the church completely sidetracked from the mission God intended the church to do.

    To see that this is the case, all you have to do is observe what people seem to want from the church. For example, some see the church as: • A drug center to reach an emotional high. They get depressed and they want to come to church for a “Fix” • A social club where they can socialize with ...read more
