    Reach Out Honestly Series

    Contributed by Todd Stiles on Nov 9, 2006
     | 3,721 views

    Jesus wouldn’t be cornered through the tricky tax question; instead, his answers show us how to live in both worlds, not just one -- and which one matters most!

    ¡§Reach Out Honestly¡¨ (Luke 20:20-26) How many of you know what this is? (show picture of toll booth on screen) You guessed it ¡V a toll booth! Yes, these dot the interstate landscape of I-80 through IL, IN, MI, and PA! And it is at these kinds of places we pay a tax ¡V an extra tax to apparently ...read more

    As we think about the law of God let’s consider two thoughts: 1- There is SOMETHING greater than the law. 2- There is SOMEONE greater than the law.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A policeman pulled over a car, walked up to the driver’s window, and asked the man if he knew why he was pulled over. "No," the man replied.

    #8 -- Work Series

    Contributed by Derek Melanson on Nov 17, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,234 views

    Work is given to us by God, is done in vain apart from Him, and can be a means of worship--because God calls us to trust Him so that we do not find ourselves eating the bread of "anxious toil."

    The reality of work Just imagine—it’s the end of a morning or afternoon or evening of hard work, and you’re very, very tired. But you look around your house, and the floors are swept and clean, the dishes are done, the laundry folded and put away, and even the bathroom fixtures are sparkling; and ...read more

    Learn from Paul, that just because your enviorment around you changes, doesnt mean you have to!

    Read Acts 16:16-34 Pray Paul was the best at not letting what was going on around him detour him from his mission. Paul was the guy you gave the job to and let him do his thing. He was Loyal, determined and focused. I want us to unpack this scripture this morning and pull from it some life ...read more

    Proper 27 B Be Thou A Blessing Motive For Ministry

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Nov 20, 2006
     | 2,614 views

    Christians sometimes fail to realize the great eternal value of the gifts God has given them if used in his service; the widow’s mite and the poor widow in Elijah’s day are examples of how God values our gifts.

    Proper 27 B BE THOU A BLESSING MOTIVE FOR MINISTRY I Kings 17:8-16 The word of the Lord came to Elijah the prophet, saying, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to ...read more

    1 of 5 messages on things I struggle with as a Pastor. This message is on the sense of inadequacy to the task of the ministry - feelings that all Christians have at times in their walk with God.

    My own expression of an outline adapted from James MacDonald’s sermon of the same name. Living a thankful life is beyond the childhood learning of saying a dutiful thank-you for everything we receive and the adolescent development of reminding ourselves o

    The School Of Thanksgiving! *Outline from James McDonald* Here’s the problem I have on a morning like this. I grew up in a secular home where we celebrated with gusto the holidays.

    The Partial Kingdom 1 - Land Of Hope And Glory Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007
     | 4,267 views

    God’s promise seems to have failed, but Moses is called to remind his people that he is God and he will save them and give them the land he promised to Abraham. God can be trusted.

    Can you trust God’s promises? What do you do when nothing seems to come of what you thought God had said he’d do? What if you find yourself in a place that’s the exact opposite of what you were expecting? What if God has promised that he’ll look after you, that he’ll bless you and yet you feel like ...read more

    Jesus comes in fulfillment of the prophecies of a new king who would restore the Kingdom of God and with the means to achieve that end.

    Do you remember last week, when Roy was relating the story of Ezekiel and the valley of dry bones, how he pointed out that although much of what Ezekiel prophesied came true in the years immediately following the return from exile, it didn’t all come true.

    Jesus finishes the Sermon on the Mount by leaving his listeners with a responsibility for what they had heard.

    That pretty well tied up the morning. Jesus has been teaching his disciples about a whole range of subjects involving the kingdom of God and now he ties it up with a pretty bow and hands it to those who were listening and basically tells them, “You are responsible for what you are going to do with ...read more
