    The Woman At The Well Series

     | 54,588 views

    Keep your eyes open for opportunities in your everyday life to share the gospel with people, to offer them living water, so they too can worship God in spirit and in truth.

    Well, I’m sure you’ve all heard a sermon on the woman at the well a number of times. I think I’ve probably preached on it here at least twice before, so what I want to do today is not to look at all the features of the story, but just two or three important things that come out that might be ...read more

     | 19,218 views

    I think that for a majority of Christians the Book of Revelation is one of the most neglected books in all the Bible. It has a message for Christians today, & yet many never even open it.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH, BROWNSVILLE, TX I am going to read the 5th chapter of Revelation in its entirety. It is short, & yet it is such a majestic chapter that there is no place conveniently to stop. (READ Rev. 5.) A. I think that for the great majority of ...read more

    God has a pile of gifs that He wants you to have. But He doesn’t want to wait for a specific time or day; He wants you to open them now.

    Intro: As a little boy when Christmas time would approach one of the most tortuously exciting prospects of Christmas morning was seeing the ever increasing pile of presents under the tree. I never had any trouble understanding the old saying, “slow as Christmas”. Every December just drug by for ...read more

     | 16,900 views

    Nascar has one of the loyalist fan bases in the US and it is the only major US sport that opens its ceremonies with prayer. See how Colossians 1 applies to the "race for Christ."

    TEXT: Colossians 1:12-23 TITLE: The Winning Circle of His Love (The stage was decorated with various racing items including race flags crisscrossed on the pulpit and a racing streamer across the length of the stage.

    Christmas is great, but what do you do after the presents have been opened and the turkey has been eaten. The day after Christmas is a time for pondering, praising and proclaiming.

    THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS Around our house we start putting up decorations more than a month before Christmas. For our kids their focus is usually on Christmas morning. They wake up and open their presents. Then we go to church and come home for a big meal. Then it’s over. At the end of the ...read more

    Practice Makes Perfect

    Contributed by David Crank on Sep 12, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,226 views

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more

    God Is In Control Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,328 views

    To believe that God is in control is huge (especially for us 'control freaks'). It takes a lot of faith and even more surrender, but when taken by faith it opens up a world of peace and hope.

    I must admit that at the moment I write this, my faith in God's sovereignty is being tested so severely, I struggle to finish the first paragraph.* I wish I could say the great truth of God's sovereignty was a bedrock of my life - but I confess to have great trouble accepting it - much less ...read more

    I took the cultural phenomenon from the MTV show "If you really knew me" and used it as a tool to encourage teens to open up, support and pray for one another.

    “If You Really Knew Me!” John 14:7-10 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. 1. All of us carry within our ___________ emotional hurts, wounds and even scars. 2. God's gave us a remedy/prescription to heal all of of ...read more
