    Heart Transplant

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 13, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,323 views

    What indicates the need for a new heart? As sinners, all of us need a new heart. Have you had a spiritual heart transplant? God’s Spirit will circumcise unbelieving hearts and give a heart that loves God, desires to obey Him and has the power to obey Him.

    Opening illustration: A friend who is a heart transplant cardiologist has an appreciation of Ezekiel 36: 26 that not many of us can understand. Dr. Mohan was one of the top Christian heart-transplant surgeons. He’s often in the operating room as he removes diseased, discolored hearts and replaced ...read more

    A sermon about laying your burdens down.

    “Burdens?” Luke 13:10-17 I have poor posture. When I see other people with good posture, I really admire their ability to sit or stand up straight, naturally—without even thinking about it. Mary Ellen has naturally good posture. My little 1 year old Owen has naturally ...read more

    What happens right after we die? The answer lies in something Jesus said from the Cross.

    Paradise Luke 23:32-43 Most of us don’t know when death will sweep us away. Only once in my ministry did I know a person who knew the year of his death. Fred came to me in January 2008 and told me he was going to die that year. I was taken back because he seemed to be in great health, he was sane, ...read more

    The Cleft Of The Rock

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 34,231 views

    The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

    This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more

    The Gifts We Bring Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 10, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,631 views

    The gifts we give on Christmas are often given in gaily wrapped paper. The paper conceals what is hidden inside the present. Similarly, the gifts of the wisemen were like wrapping paper concealing special gifts of great value. Do you know what they were?

    Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the gifts that were brought by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you examined that story carefully, you’d find that there is an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Why? First, these guys were wise. And second… they were ...read more

    Acts Chapter 2 gives us a glimpse of what the Holy Spirit can do.

    “The Spirit of Sharing” Acts 2:42-47 A headline caught my eye last week. It read, “31 Billionaires are Worth More than the US Treasury has in Cash.” At the close of business on May 25th, the Treasury of the United States had just $38.8 billion dollars. For context, 31 of our billionaires ...read more
