    Jesus Never Called Shotgun Luke 14:1-14 Jan 20th, 2008 I have to confess that when I hear someone call “shotgun” it gets my hackles up a bit.

    Churchill Or Church, Ill?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 29, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,865 views

    As Winston Churchill rallied the British people, so Paul rallies Christians by urging us to review our motivations and to present something solid and not merely entertaining. Such a church will prevail and thrive.

    On the fifth of June, 1940, not even a month after he became prime minister, Winston Churchill spoke to the British people to encourage them of their desperate situation. Bear in mind that in September of the previous year the Nazis had invaded Poland, with no effective resistance. Thereafter, ...read more

    James teaches that when the tongue gets out of control it can do as much damage as a fire when it gets out of control.

    INTRODUCTION #13 1. Open your bibles to James 3:5-8. 2. James has had much to say about the tongue. 3. In comparison to the other members of our body the tongue is small. It is not near as large as our legs, our feet, our arms, our hands, our head and etc. 4. It is not near as large as these ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 2, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,676 views

    The clear demand of Jesus, seen against the spread of hunger in our time, is that we make lifestyle changes and that we understand that the Gospel calls for outward obedience as well as inner faith.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,664 views

    Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ? Why? Why not Peter, why not one of the other disciples? What made Mary so special that she was the first? What can we take away from her life to apply to ours?

    Mary Magdalene John 20:1-18 Easter isn’t about bunnies and eggs and candy, it’s about the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to continue my series on the Lesser known People of the Bible, but as I sat down and started ...read more

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 20, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,165 views

    Self-control is difficult for us because we are afraid of responsibility. But to have no form of control is to choose chaos. The answer is to build a relationship with Christ so close that His will becomes ours.

     | 7,700 views

    "Merry Xmas!" Whenever you try to take "Christ" out of "Christmas" -- all you have left are "Xs". Excesses, Exhaustion, and Exchanges. But we were made for Expectation, Exaltation, and Examination.

    THE CHRISTMAS X-PERIENCE Text: John 1:1-14 (Suggested opening video: Christmas With A Capital C) There are many beautiful traditions and practices that have come to be associated with Christmas. And many of them aren’t what you would call “Christian traditions or practices” ...read more

     | 7,589 views

    The tongue is a powerful tool. However, as someone once said, "When it is good there is nothing better but when it is bad there is nothing worse." It's that last part that moves us to understand the importance of taming the tongue.

    TONGUE TAMERS James 3:1-12 INTRODUCTION: In northern New Mexico, at around 5 AM on July 16, 1945, the still dark early morning sky became as bright as the noonday sun. In that one blinding flash, the Atomic Age had begun. The atomic fireball shot upwards at 360 feet per second. The characteristic ...read more

     | 8,866 views

    We all wear masks, which puts us in danger of losing our real selves. Jesus shows us how to be real as He deals with threatening people, hostile people, and those whose hearts are full of pain. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    When you wear a mask – not a Halloween costume mask, but a personality mask, a way-of-being mask – when you wear a mask, you not only hide from others, but you also hide from yourself. You lose your real self. And that is a huge loss. It is crucial to get real with yourself. The poet Paul ...read more
