    Taking Christ Out Of Christmas

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 30, 2002
    based on 16 ratings
     | 7,828 views

    What would happen if we took all of the Religious elements out of Christmas?

    Have you noticed that every year people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men let alone the Christ Child. Now I may be a little overly sensitive but ...read more

    It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Dec 18, 2017
     | 6,037 views

    This Christmas carol lists many things that make it the most wonderful time of the year. And while kids jingle-belling and parties and caroling are all fun and wonderful, the song fails to mention the one thing that truly makes Christmas wonderful-Jesus.

    IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR The title of the sermon is taken from the popular Christmas song of the same name. The songwriter declares it's the most wonderful time of the year and then goes on to say why. The kids jingle-belling along with holiday greetings and gay happy meetings ...read more

    The Bad Judge Series

     | 27,993 views

    God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

    OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more

    Acts 1 tells about three promises that are better than any other promise found in Scripture. Do you know what those promises are? And do you know why they are so important to us?

    OPEN: I’d like you to stand with me as we sing this great Hymn: “Standing on the Promises.” Sing with me: “Standing on the promises that cannot fail When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living Word of God I shall prevail Standing on the promises of God.

     | 23,763 views

    The world paints those who oppose immoral sex as being prudes and bigots. It's hard to withstand the humiliation and embarrassment that we can face when we speak up. So why should we? And how should we stand for morality in a faithless world?

    Years ago I heard a famous radio preacher tell of an experience he had while doing a seminar in a large city. After he had gotten done speaking he returned to his hotel, got on the elevator, and as he touched the button of his floor, a couple of very attractive women got on with him. "What ...read more

     | 29,206 views

    In his instructions of the role of older women, God tells us what he really thinks about the role of women in the church.

    As I read the text at the beginning of the sermon I asked the audience to pay special attention to the instructions Titus received in what he was to teach each specific group in this passage - Titus 2:1-10). Have you ever seen a child with lots of freckles on their face? I read the story about ...read more

     | 13,657 views

    Can you be both a Christian AND a Republican or a Democrat? The answer is no. That doesn't mean you can't register with or work for a party... it's just you can't serve two masters. Do you know why?

    OPEN: I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the Presidential election is officially this Tuesday. How many of you have taken part in early voting? (About 2/3s of the church raised their hand). Whoa. That’s a bunch of you. But I’ve got some bad news for you. In Indiana – ...read more

    Where is He born King of the Jews? Where was God in the slaughter of the innocents? God was in a caring Father and Mother who fled to Egypt to protect the precious life of the child. God was in this Christ reconciling the world to himself.

    Celebrating Epiphany Isaiah 60__ 1 – 6 Isaiah 60: 1 – 6, Ephesians 3: 1 – 12 and Matthew 2: 1 – 12. The Christian’s calendar is always out of sync with the secular calendar.

    Easter is more than a party. It is a life-changing reality.

    He is not Here. He is Risen Luke 24:1-11 It’s Easter time again. And again we are challenged with what Easter is all about. In some circles, robed choirs, priests and congregations go through the prescribed Easter ritual, some of which goes back nearly two thousand years. I have found Easter ...read more

    Halloween is a fun time that permeates our culture.... and it also has its dark and sinister side. Yet even Halloween’s dark side pales compared to an even worse threat of the occult in our nation.

    OPEN: Tomorrow is October 31st.
