  • Amanda: Loving Because She Was Loved

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 18, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 8,930 views

    Funeral sermon for Mrs. Amanda Foye Jackson, who had suffered through two massive strokes and the loss of her son.

    In Biblical times, a person’s name revealed something about who he was or what she was intended to be. In the creation story, there is Adam, meaning earth, and Eve, meaning mother. Their names told you who they were and what they were intended to be. Abraham, father of nations; Isaac, laughter; ...read more

  • God Is Love

    Contributed by Ken Smith on Jan 19, 2002
    based on 87 ratings
     | 12,482 views

    To say that God is love does not mean that love is God.

    God is Love 1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. God is not sometimes loving and sometimes unloving, today loving some people and hating others, and tomorrow hate those who were previously loved. In everything God does, always, in dealing with all people, God ...read more

  • The World Demands A Life-Giving Vision Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 20, 2002
    based on 35 ratings
     | 6,960 views

    Sermon delivered in support of our theme for 2002, and on the occasion of our annual meeting. A vision brings death if it is not communicated; it is discerned in prayer; and it always calls for repentance for the incompleteness of our obedience.

    Two things you learn, if you are at all observant about churches. First, that church people do not agree on their vision of what the church should be about; and, second, that the world knows what the church ought to be about better than church people know. We who gather week by week as the church ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Helen Hastings, long-time church financial secretary

    In a throwaway world, it is good to have known someone whose life reminds us that there are some things worth keeping. In a society where last year’s fashions are pitched out and yesterday’s values are passé, it is important to have known someone who understood how to keep hold of the right ...read more

  • Numbered, Weighed, And Given Away Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 27, 2002
    based on 68 ratings
     | 10,814 views

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more

    There are a lot of people who need help Spiritually, So do you want to help?

    (INTRO) When God made mankind He loved mankind, So God try to help mankind but we would not take His help. So from that time God has put a call out to those who would like to help their fellowman.

  • Night Visits

    based on 54 ratings
     | 10,827 views

    Sermon for Black History Month, incorporating the poetry of recently deceased African poet and statesman Leopold Senghor; focus on imprisonment, liberation, empowerment, and forgiveness.

    It was night. Nothing else need be said. That short and simple phrase says it all. It was night. It was night when they visited my bedroom, when I was a child of six, to tell me that my mother would not be coming home for a long time. The stress of giving birth to my brother had been too much; ...read more

  • Getting Real With Your Enemies Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,927 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    "Three Things for Christians to Consider in a Time of War" (a message delivered by Pastor Don Smith on the weekend after the beginning of the war on Iraq.)

    based on 174 ratings
     | 11,886 views

    Like the women of old, we too journey to the graves of those we love. What do we say on the way and what do we find when we get there?"

    “Journey to the Grave” One of my favorite illustrations is about a pastor giving a children’s sermon on Easter Sunday morning. “Can anyone tell me what happened on Easter?” Silence. The pastor, persisting, asked again politely, “Now I know that someone here knows what happened on Easter a long, ...read more

  • Certainly -- At A Distance

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 18, 2003
    based on 36 ratings
     | 4,949 views

    For Good Friday: sometimes we no longer see things because we are too close to them. The disciples saw the cross "at a distance", but the centurion saw it through his callousness, cynicism, and skepticism, and affirmed, "Certainly".

    Sometimes when you are too close to something you cannot see it. Or at least you cannot recognize what it is. You can be so close that you do not know what you are looking at. You need somebody else to give you a fresh perspective. My wife and I buy grocery items when they are on ...read more

  • Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,675 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more
