    A sermon of thanksgiving. Communion meditation will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/communion.html

    Have you ever thought about how most of us offer our thanks when something good is done to, or for, us? Most Americans say a quick ‘thank you’ and then we instantly go on to other things. Rarely do we ever spend any real or quality time thanking someone for what they have done. When the ...read more

    They Need Your Love!

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 7, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 4,541 views

    A sermon that talks about who is and who is not a child of God.

    Love is a word that is bandied about to describe our feelings towards everything. We love our cars. We love our homes. We love our this and we love our that. The problem is that we use it freely to describe “things” and “places” but when talking about other people, we often use negative ...read more

    The King Herod Within Us

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 21,252 views

    A sermon that shows all of us have a little King Herod in us, but Christ brings a sword to put that nature to death so a new nature can rise up.

    To many of us, we are the center of our own universe, aren’t we? To many of us, we are the only one who counts. And, too many of us think that God is our co-pilot. Let me start by saying that if God is your co-pilot, you had better change places with Him as quickly as you can. In MATTHEW ...read more

    Genesis 22: A Test For You

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 27, 2007
    based on 86 ratings
     | 27,565 views

    A discussion on GENESIS 22, showing how the test of Abraham is also a test for us, and in that test, we are given a moment of personal testimony.

    There is one constant in the kingdom of God. Every time God tests our faith, He also gives us something in return. That ‘something’ is a defining moment, and we refer to these as ‘personal testimonies’. They give witness to the fact that God is active and working in our lives. Two weeks ago, ...read more

    Several years ago a large, new post office was built in Pittsburgh, at the cost of several million dollars. On the day of it’s opening, the Governor made a speech, TV cameras recorded, the bands played and the people cheered. It was quite a celebration.

     | 25,387 views

    We see this Mary three times, all of which she is at the feet of Jesus. And she did all that she could. And Jesus said she will remembered.

    Next month, we celebrate Easter Sunday. Today, I will talk about one thing that happened right before the cross, so that we can begin to return our focus on Jesus, His death, and His glorious resurrection. The one thing I think most about when I think about Jesus dying and then coming back is ...read more

    The Sin Behind Your Back

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 9, 2007
    based on 39 ratings
     | 11,025 views

    Explaining how many American Christians are like the church of Laodicea, unfocused and with the wrong motives and reasons. (Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/2007.html)

    Christians talk a lot about prayer, and whenever we hear that something bad has happened to someone we know, the first thing we do is go into prayer. But I sometimes wonder if we go before the throne of a holy God - with the right heart and attitude. In 1 THESSALONIANS, we are told to pray ...read more

    Do You Know Him?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 19,763 views

    More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

    As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more

    For the last year, the only news we hear has been bad, hasn’t it? During the presidential campaign, all we heard was negative campaigning, and how our economy is failing.

    How do we pray? Opening skit, showing that it is better to have no words in your heart than it is to have no heart in your words. Are we hot, cold, or lukewarm?

    Do you like good news? We all do, don’t we? I think we would all like to hear that we just became the sole heir to someone’s multi-million dollar estate.
