    Big Idea: The Bible and evidence overwhelming shows that the emotional, economic, physical and sexual benefits of marriage between a man and woman are essential to the well-being of any society.

    OPENING SENTENCE: There is an old joke, not a very good one and one I am sure most of you have heard, but it lays the groundwork for my sermon today so I will tell it nonetheless. It goes like this: INTRODUCTION: God was once approached by a scientist who said, “Listen God, we’ve decided we ...read more

    We set ourselves up for failure if we are afraid to risk using all we have been given, if we are shy about our average-ness, and especially if we are ashamed of our poverty. Sermon for Martin Luther King Sunday

    On one of our trips to Louisville to see about my mother-in-law, we stayed at a motel right next to a Baptist church. It happened to be a church which had been started as a mission congregation by my home church back when I was a teenager. I told Margaret that I remembered that vacant lot between ...read more

  • Seeing Now

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,118 views

    People and churches can settle down and forget where they came from and lose sight of where they could be going. Now is the time for the church to venture forward, or lose its place in God’s plan.

    There are two problems with settling down: one of them is that you forget about where you came from. The other is that you lose sight of where you could be going. Here is a young couple. They start out married life in just a small place, with room for themselves and maybe that first child. They ...read more

     | 6,731 views

    Here in these verses he calls those who follow Him to choose to be a godly influence on the society in which we live. Jesus calls us to change the world around us with our lives. He doesn’t just expect us to live in the world. He expects the world to be t

    Influencing Communities Matthew 5:13-15 Robert Lewis writes, “In 1851, many of the most accomplished engineers in the country thought James Roebling was out of his mind. That year, he began to work on the unthinkable: building a bridge over the Niagara River Gorge. Disaster was nearly universally ...read more

    Break the flesh "pitcher" and blow the trumpet through spreading the gospel. That is ever God’s battle plan for victory.

    The Undeniable Mark of a Champion 2 Corinthians 4:1-18 1Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth ...read more

  • Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary

    Contributed by Stephen Epps on Sep 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,782 views

    Faith is a reductionism of the greatest kind. For in Jesus, the "extraordinary" is nothing more than the "ordinary" things in life PUT TOGETHER to achieve an "extraordinary" feat.

    Beloved, I would like to engage your hearts and minds for the next few minutes, from the subject, “Doing Something Extra With The Ordinary” Beloved, in his painting “Walking on the Water”, one can nearly hear the rhythmic splashing underneath. One can almost feel the ...read more

    The woman was rebuffed by Jesus, yet responded with a deep faith in God's love for all people independent of gender or race. The people of the Decapolis were presented with an overwhelming demonstration of Jesus' Messianic power yet without believing.

    In the previous section of Mark 7 Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees over the issue of washing hands. He responds by pointing out that their reliance on their traditions has blinded them to the much more central issue of purity of heart. He points out to them that washing your hands won't make ...read more

    Contributed by Jay Winters on Jun 28, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,441 views

    You might think "How’s your karma doing?" is an odd sermon title for a Lutheran pastor. You would be right in thinking that, we don’t believe in karma, we believe in grace.

    In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One Who has justified us apart from our works.

  • Mary's Side Of The Story

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 5, 2017
    based on 5 ratings
     | 28,479 views

    I wonder, how does Mary’s story speak to you this Advent season? In a few weeks from now, Christmas Sunday would seem rather odd if we did not hear from Mary.

    This is not an original sermon, points borrowed from Advent 3/C, December 17, 2006 Lynne M. Dolan (I believe the message was entitled “Nothing Impossible with God”). I have restructured the message, however; want to ensure I give proper credit. TITLE: MARY’S SIDE OF THE STORY SCRIPTURE: ...read more
