    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,705 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    Soul Winning Series

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Dec 2, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 57,312 views

    Proverbs 11:30 tells us that "He that wins souls is wise." There are three keys to understanding that ought to motivate us to be active soul-winners - the plight of the unsaved, the heart of the believer, and the command of the Savior.

    Church Essentials: Part Four Soul Winning - Acts 4:37-41, 47 Essential to the continued existence of any God honoring, Christ centered, church community is an outward focus with the intent of winning souls. The early church was actively engaged in soul winning on a daily basis. Carl Nelson, ...read more

    The Reward Of A Disciple (Luke, Part 5) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 20, 2022
     | 1,524 views

    As Christians we are following Jesus, or we are choosing to do our own thing? If anything, the witness of Peter, John, and James ought to encourage us today to choose Christ over being in control.

    The reward of a disciple (Luke, Part 5) Luke 9:18-36 Dismiss for Children’s Church Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to dive into -- We can see Luke’s interest in people (it’s genuine, re: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how ...read more

    Growing Younger Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 27, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,227 views

    Hebrews tells us that, if we've been Christians for any length of time, we ought to be teaching. But how do I do that, and why should I bother?

    The comic strip “Peanuts” (by Charles Schultz) often had a Biblical theme to it. In one of his comic strips, Lucy and Linus were staring out the window watching it rain and Lucy says… "Boy! Look at it pour. What if it floods the whole world?" Linus says: "It won't. In Genesis ...read more

    How Is Your Walk? Series

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Jan 14, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,790 views

    This passage tells us that every person ought to walk like Jesus. He is to be the standard for which we are to all reach. Just as Jesus was the manifestation of God to the world. We are to be the manifestation of Jesus to this world.

    1 John 2:3-6 NKJV “How is your walk?” January 14, 2024 A little over a decade ago George Barna wrote a book about trends of Christians in America called “Futurecast,” where he tracks annual changes starting in the 90’s for about 20 years and shows that all the major trend lines of religious ...read more

    The Legitimacy Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 24, 2022
     | 1,537 views

    The human trap is that we’d use scripture like a baseball bat and abuse people with it. But in reality, it ought to be a source of comfort and sufficiency in God - it should be our lamp in a very dark world!

    The Legitimacy of Scripture 2 Peter Sermon Series, Part 2 2 Peter 1:12-21 Introduction - Purpose: Peter gives guidance and reassurance to the growing church -- Promise he stands on: the Gospel they are preaching is of Jesus Christ! -- This Gospel is our measuring stick; and it is what ...read more

    God's Call In Stars And Dreams

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 8, 2002
    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,757 views

    In the dim light of a Star and the witness of dreams wise men were guided by God to find and worship Jesus, how much more ought we who have the plain Word of God to do so!

    When God Speaks Through Dreams Matthew 2:13-23 What do you think about dreams? The Greek words for dream occur only 9 times in the New Testament; six times in Matthew, where every one of them has a message from God. Acts 2:17 and Jude 8 contain the other three. Acts speaks of the evidence of ...read more

    Does This One Count?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 4, 2004
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,198 views

    We ought to have to pay the penalty of sin because we refuse to obey. But God in Christ has done what we could never do for ourselves and has given us a fresh start.

    Teenage boys were always looking for something to do on a warm summer’s day, and so the clanking sounds and the laughter got to me that day. I walked across the street to where my best friend lived, and found him in the back yard, with his father, engaged in something new: they were throwing ...read more

    When Jesus Calls My Name

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Apr 21, 2006
    based on 208 ratings
     | 59,984 views

    When Jesus called Mary’s name that first Easter morning, it made a tremendous impact on her life. Jesus still calls our name and it ought to impact our lives in a similar way.

    As we go through life, many different people call our name. And it’s amazing to me just how many different messages that can be conveyed to us, depending on just how people call our name: • When we’re growing up, our parents call our name. Sometimes that is done in a very calm, gentle, loving ...read more

    "Our Father Which Art In Heaven”

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 30, 2008
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,715 views

    In short, Jesus is teaching us how to pray. Jesus said, “After this manner therefore pray ye.” The word “manner” simply means “in this way.” Jesus was saying that this is the way we ought to pray.

    Matthew 6:9-13 “Our Father which art in heaven” I read about a soldier who was caught one night returning to his quarters from the nearby woods, and he was charged with holding communications with the enemy. The soldier pleaded that he had gone into the woods to pray. The commanding ...read more

    The Ones Whom God Loves

    Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Oct 23, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,348 views

    To show that God loves the world that is in rebellion against Him and that gratitude to Him ought to be the response to His grace. The application of the Law of God seems to be the only thing that brings some people to see their need of Christ.

    "The Ones Whom God Loves" JOHN 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It’s a wonderful truth. It is gospel truth; truth in a nutshell. The Lord says He loves the world. “For God so loved the ...read more

    Compulsion Or Compassion

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 4, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,852 views

    In his letter to Philemon, Paul strikes to the heart of true discipleship addressing what ought to be the motive for all of our actions as believers. Compassion not compulsion should to be the rule of faith that governs our decisions and actions.

    Compulsion or Compassion Philemon 1:1-25 Introduction: Though one of the smallest books in the Bible, Philemon holds a treasure trove of spiritual instruction in practical Christian living. In his letter to Philemon, Paul strikes to the heart of true discipleship as he addresses what ought to be ...read more

    Starting Over With God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 13, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,638 views

    God, though He is a god of wrath, also gives Himself permission to start over with us; we ought to take a cue from that and give ourselves permission to start over in our relationship with Him.

    Did you ever start something and then find that it was going so badly, it was such a mess, you just wished you could just start all over again? You started down some path, you knew it was a mistake, but you got so invested in it you felt you had to see it through, even though it was getting worse ...read more

    The First Six Seals, Part 1

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 13, 2014
     | 4,556 views

    As the Tribulation begins, words can barely describe the times that are ahead of the inhabitants of Earth. Christians today ought to live and act with urgency to tell others about Jesus, and this chapter begins to show us why!

    The First Six Seals, Part 1 Revelation, Part 6, Revelation 6:1-6 Introduction - Today we begin to look at a time so horrific … words barely describe it -- There’s an urgency to tell others about Jesus; because this is prophecy - I want to remind you that after Chap. 3 the ...read more

    Lesson 2 : Truncated History Series

    Contributed by Rolland Bouchard on Dec 10, 2009
     | 5,357 views

    A very truncated look at the history of christianity. This message presupposes that many people believe restoration history bypasses the reformation and catholicism. However, it is unhealthy to not acknowlege our past. Instead we ought to embrace it.

    HISTORY: Very, Very Truncated. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.” Hebrews 1:1 In trying to better ...read more
