    Is God Fair?

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 10, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,168 views

    To answer the question, we also have to ask: 1. Is God just? 2. Is God impartial? 3. Is God fair?

    Life is not fair. Most of us understand that. It was not fair that some children died at birth or had crippling diseases, and I have been allowed to live and enjoy good health. It was not fair that some were born with cerebral palsy and I was able to grasp difficult concepts and get passing ...read more

    How does the law function in the life of the believer? It is not proscriptive, but descriptive.

    When he was a boy growing up in Philadelphia, Tony Campolo and his best friend devised what they considered a brilliant and creative Halloween prank - one which, by the way, they never carried out. Their plan was to break into the basement of the local five-and-dime store. (To explain to children ...read more

    Runaway Bride

    Like the movie “Runaway Bride” many Christians today don’t mind “dating” the church, but they don’t want to “marry” the church. Here are 9 reasons you need to commit to the church for life!

    RUNAWAY BRIDE INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. During a wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m supposed to ‘be faithful as long as we both shall live’, I’d appreciate it if ...read more

    Dr. Odell Belger said that his mother was a professional cook in his brother’s restaurant. People from all over the city would come each day to eat the delicious Southern food she cooked.

    After she had worked for many years, she decided she would retire. Her son Martin, the owner of the restaurant, was concerned about her retirement because he knew that her good cooking was going to be missed by his many loyal customers. He requested that she write down everything she did in the ...read more

    . We need is to learn how to manage the finances we already have in a way that acknowledges God’s wisdom and leads to financial freedom.

    Introduction I’d like to begin by making an observation. There are people in this room who live in comfortable homes and drive nice cars and eat in good restaurants who are not doing as well financially as they appear to be doing. We all like to think that we’re good at crunching numbers…but ...read more

    Easter or Missionary message on the Great Commission

    It’s amazing what we hear and don’t hear. Most of us can be justly charged with selective hearing. If mention to you, “I’ve changed cars, my son is starting a new job this week, and Hey, you look great – you’ve must have lost 15 or 20 pounds,” what are you going to remember? Do you ever wonder ...read more

    This sermon completes the series on 1 Corinthians. It addresses some issues of discipleship.

    Introduction: A. If you were Paul, how would you close this letter you had written to the Corinthian church? 1. As we have seen, it was a troubled and struggling church. 2. There were doctrinal problems and glaring moral failures. 3. And even though it appears that this was Paul’s second attempt ...read more

    All I (Really) Want For Christmas

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 23, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,673 views

    Like Joseph, we think we want freedom from embarassment, but we really want love. We think we want an ordinary life, but we really want to be special. We think we want a little support, but we get the presence of the Living God

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those who thinks we should do away with gift-giving at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part of the joy of the ...read more

    God wants us to share our resources generously with those who need them and for us to give in a manner that demonstrates faith.

    INTRO: “The church is always talking about money.” “the minister just wants my money.” “they don’t care about me – just that I give my offering.” Such things are often said about churches – and sometimes, unfortunately, it is true. I heard of a church recently that has a little mini-sermon EVERY ...read more

    On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 28, 2009
     | 8,482 views

    Growth can come by pruning, cultivating, or simply letting it happen. God wants the church to grow, and all these methods are used.

    Growth takes place in one of three ways. Things grow because one of three things happens. First, some things grow just because it is in the very nature of those things to grow. You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to feed them or nourish them or encourage them. Some things just grow. ...read more
