    Respect and honor that is due our military is not about supporting the war, it is about showing the love of God.

    Not this past week, but the week before I was sitting in my study one morning and as is normally my habit, I was reading the news on the Internet. As I scanned the headlines CNN had one that caught my attention. It said, “Church ordered to pay $10.9 million.” That is enough to catch any ...read more

    Church struggling to survive? Maybe you have cracks in the foundation or the wrong foundation.

    1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; If a church is built upon a man, it will not stand when the man is ...read more

    What Will Be Your Legacy? (2 Of 2)

     | 3,842 views

    In this text we see something that often occurs in churches. A man is sleeping in church.

    But it is more than just a man sleeping in this passage of scripture. This man named Eutychus was sitting on a window sill while Paul preached a very lengthy sermon, and he fell out the window and died. • We ministers are indeed thankful for this passage of scripture, because when we see men and ...read more

    Since You Have Been Raised With Christ

    In our text, Paul speaks of the new life that we have in Christ. He looks at it from three different perspectives: past, present and future. 1- A past experience 2- A present enjoyment 3- A future ecstasy

    INTRO.- ILL.- I am reminded of the old story about the funeral of the unsavory character who had never been to church in his life. He had led a very questionable life, meaning he’d done about anything and everything a person could think of and it wasn’t good. The service was being conducted by a ...read more

    A Christmas sermon describing how Christ can be born into the most difficult of circumstances.

    The Coffin and the Christmas Tree Four years ago my Father-in-Law, Dr. W. C. Dobbs, pastor and professor, passed away. Because his death happened right before Christmas it was the first time that I had ever missed any events of my church’s Christmas season. I missed the Children’s ...read more

    Hell - The Unpleasant Reality

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 3, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,254 views

    The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 offers the best and clearest picture into the nature of hell. Because these words come from our Lord Jesus, we must treat them with utmost respect. We see the cry of rich man from hell to heaven.

    The Bible warns us of two eternities. One is impressive and all like to hear about it. But the other is horrifying and seldom wants to believe it. They are heaven and hell. Is hell real? There can be two answers. One is from man and the other is from God. What I think about hell neither make a ...read more

    The Best Is Yet To Come

     | 10,175 views

    At the end of a misused life there awaits a place called hell. Wealth or poverty does not determine our eternal state but our relationship with Jesus surely will.

    An old mountaineer had lived a full but not exactly saintly life and now was on his deathbed. He summoned his weeping wife. “Sara,” he said, “go to the fireplace and take out the third stone from the top.” She did as he instructed. “Reach in there,” said her husband, “and bring out what you find.” ...read more

    Jesus chose "ordinary, unschooled" men to be His disciples. For 3 years He equipped them for a ministry that turned the world upside down. But how did Jesus change them so they were ready for that adventure. And how can He do the same for us?

    In just several days Christmas will be here, and as we enter the Advent season, preachers will stretch their imaginations to search for inventive sermons on this most important and unavoidable annual event.

     | 2,727 views

    This parable about the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31- 46) illustrates three things, compassion, reciprocity and judgment.

    THE ENDGAME Text: Matthew 25:31 - 46 Matthew 25: 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd ...read more

    Get To Know The Son Before Meeting The Father

    Contributed by Peter Schmidt on Nov 13, 2003
    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,501 views

    Today is Last Judgment Sunday. And it’s the day when we especially focus on the fact that we live a breath away from death…and judgment. Jesus tells us how to be prepared for the Last Judgment His advice is: Get to Know the Son Before Meeting the Father.

    Last Judgment John 5:19-24 A few years ago, right as I was beginning my vicar (intern) year, my supervising pastor gave me an assignment. I had to sit down and write a sermon. And I did that, but this is a sermon that I have never preached, and probably never will preach. It was a funeral sermon ...read more

     | 9,374 views

    To be an effective leader, you must avoid the pitfalls of leadership, which are the honor and dishonor of men.

    Several years ago, a pastor in Valparaiso, Indiana, started visiting a man in the local nursing home. The man was a VIP, one who had been instrumental in starting the major industry in town. When he died, his family asked the pastor to do the funeral service. He was nervous, because he knew his ...read more

    We are all called to be great stewards for the kingdom of God!

    Good morning everyone, and welcome to Church. It is such a pleasure to see everyone. Last week we had a wonderful service! We talked about how God is calling every believer to greatness.

    Membership Matters

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 2, 2014
     | 3,598 views

    To love Jesus is to love His church. God’s Image is in us all, and we discover Him by discovering His likeness in one another--in the caring community known as the Church.

    When I pastored Army chapels, soldiers attending my services would occasionally ask to join, and I had to explain to them that we can’t have membership since we’re a government agency. Membership would violate the so-called separation of church and state. The non-establishment clause ...read more
