    In this parable, you will find five reasons why people neglect the invitation to come to Christ. At first, we will look at the flimsy excuses given, and then we will lay open their hearts to the truth!

    As described in the opening verses of John’s Gospel, God reveals five aspects of Jesus Christ: 1. Eternal 2. Creator 3. Incarnate 4. Saving 5. Welcoming

    May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Good Morning. Today is the First Sunday after Christmas.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,573 views

    Three things the wise men believed helped them be open to God’s guidance. Those three things are still important to us today in our desire to be guided by God.

    Steps to Receiving God’s Guidance Matthew 2:1-12 Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for speaking to us once again this year through the birth stories of Jesus.

    The Woman At The Well Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Mar 14, 2005
    based on 49 ratings
     | 54,424 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

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 5, 2007
    based on 65 ratings
     | 16,808 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. I entered the sanctuary wearing a one piece pit-crew outfit and racing helmet, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,044 views

    A man comes to Jesus with an open heart and mind. The Lord reveals to him some of the most amazing truths found in the Bible. Is it time you had a good, honest, talk with God?

    Do you ever look for something so hard that you can’t find it? Maybe it’s just my age kicking in but sometimes I’ll lose something in the most obvious place possible. I think so hard about where I put it that I forget to look in the most likely place. I figure that I would have remembered easily if ...read more

    The Day After Christmas

     | 89,540 views

    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
     | 13,133 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
     | 9,131 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

    Breaking The First Four Seals Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,436 views

    The events that we will see with the seals are not the end of history itself. They are events that precede the end. The seals have to be broken before the book can be opened. This is exactly what Christ had said.

    Now the time has come. God’s book—the Book of Destiny, the book that spells out what is to happen in the end time—is now to be opened. We need to note that the Lamb doesn’t open the book at this point. He merely breaks open the seals. The events that we will see with the ...read more

    The Deliverance From Fear

    This passage is just a short episode of Jesus walking on the water. But in this episode Jesus shows us opening that He is Someone that we can count on when fear grips our lives.

    If we know Jesus Christ in a personal way, we know that He will deliver us from many things. How many testimonies have we heard from people who have been delivered from something? Illness, death, financial situations, relationships, etc. Tonight we see Jesus’ deliverance from yet another ...read more
