    Jesus And The Woman At The Well Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 29, 2024
     | 1,994 views

    Nathanial Hawthorn wrote The Scarlet Letter nearly two centuries ago. Hester Prynne was a young lady who had a child out of wedlock. As punishment for her adultery, she was forced to wear a scarlet letter A on her dress. The Women by the Well didn’t wear such a letter, but she might as well have.

    Many years ago in St. Louis, a lawyer visited a Christian to transact some business. Just before the two parted, his client said to him, “I’ve often wanted to ask you a question, but I’ve been afraid to do so.” “What do you want to know?” asked the lawyer. The man replied, “I’ve wondered why you’re ...read more

     | 7,903 views

    There is a principle that we see throughout Scripture – God looks beyond the action or service to the cost involved. Mark 12:41-44

    The Cost Of Compassionate Caring Luke 10:30-37 Introduction: 1. Ladies, what if your husband brought you home a beautiful bouquet of flowers? You would be touched and moved by his kindness and thoughtfulness. Then he says, “Yeah, they delivered them to the office by mistake. We had to get ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,660 views

    Our involvement in reaching lost people will involve numerous costs, but the benefits outweigh the costs.

    Introduction: A. Life is full of choices, isn’t it? 1. I read a story about a family who was moving cross-country and decided to drive both of their cars in the move. 2.

    There is a cost to every gift and the Gift of Easter was bought and paid for on Good Friday

    Sometimes we hear people refer to the gift of Easter, and on Sunday we are going to reflect on the generosity that made Easter a reality for us, and for the gifts that are extended to us because of the resurrection. But that is Sunday and this is Friday. You see there couldn’t be a Sunday ...read more

    A Sacrifice Should Cost

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,230 views

    Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.

    Our message this evening is entitled, “A Sacrifice Should Cost.” A “sacrifice” is defined as “an offering made to God . . . as an acknowledgement of His power and provision.” It’s also defined as “surrender or loss made or incurred for gaining some object, or for obliging another.”(1) Based on ...read more

    The Cost Of Influence And Leadership

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Sep 2, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,708 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more

    The High Cost Of Arrogance Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 5, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,404 views

    Arrogance kills. Should anyone question that statement, they need but study an incident when a king whom God anointed requested consideration from a wealthy farmer. What happened next is a warming against becoming arrogant.

    “Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until the morning light. In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these ...read more

    Making the Most of the Holiday Opportunities Ephesians 5:15-20 November 27, 2005 Introduction Well, here we are, now "officially" into the Christmas season. Although judging by what I’ve seen in the stores, I’d have guessed that the season actually began just after Labor Day. Pictures in the ...read more

    Don't Miss This Opportunity

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Dec 8, 2013
     | 5,688 views

    Secular observance of the pre-Christmas season focuses primarily on the First Coming of Christ that occurred 2,000 years ago. As Christians, our focus is on preparation for the Second Coming, which in turn readies us to remember Christmas.

    Don’t miss this opportunity. Throughout the year, we get mailings from stores telling us of some special sale or event where they will save us tons of money on whatever it is that the stores tell us we need. It seems that quantity increases tenfold or more during the Christmas shopping time. ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 956 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

    Opening illustration: With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent lifting of the iron curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the freedom they had long been denied. However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more

    God knows everything you do; He hears everything you say; and He sees exactly where you are. So stop making excuses and move forward in your faith.

    As always, we start with a question: What do you do, who do you know, or where do you go, that you know in your heart you shouldn’t do, know, or go? Let me remind you of something: It does not matter where you go, or in some people’s lives, where they try and hide. God is still with ...read more
