  • The Forgotten Family Tree Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Dec 14, 2004
    based on 44 ratings
     | 19,146 views

    This morning we’re going to look at a list in Matthew 1 that contains over 40 names, some who were “darlings” and many others who were “disasters.”

    The manager of a large office noticed a new employee and asked, “What’s your name?” The worker replied, “John.” The manager scowled and said, “Look, I don’t know where you worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer, and some of us have attended churches where it was recited every Sunday. I grew up saying this prayer so much that it just became rote for me and like Jeff in the drama I never thought God would really answer it. I was even instructed to repeat this ...read more

  • Being Busy For Christ Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 19, 2003
    based on 114 ratings
     | 46,606 views

    God doesn’t want us to be loafers while we wait for the appearing of His Son. Instead, we are to work hard, settle down, and earn our wages. We must never tire of doing what is right.

    Being Busy for Christ For those of you who are wondering if I got my hair cut, the answer is “yes.” On Wednesday, I invited Harold Davis to speak about sheep at the Kiwanis club. He did a great job, as he did this summer when he helped us learn more about Psalm 23. In my introduction of Harold, I ...read more

  • The Lord Who Leads Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 67,476 views

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more

  • When Life Does Not Seem Fair Series

    based on 248 ratings
     | 79,137 views

    Life doesn’t seem fair. Nonbelievers seem to experience more blessings than we do. In order to find some spiritual stability we need a reality check.

    When Life Doesn’t Seem Fair Let’s begin this morning by talking about perception. How we view something becomes reality for us. The New Scientist magazine has compiled a list of actual statements made by children regarding their perspective about scientific matters. There are three kinds of blood ...read more

  • Forgiving The Unforgivable Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 216 ratings
     | 113,454 views

    “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” The Cross is the only place we can find forgiveness. It doesn’t matter what we’ve done, or how often we’ve done it, we can be forgiven - not because we deserve it, but because we don’t.

    Forgiving the Unforgivable The last words of a dying person are normally never forgotten. A person’s closing comments often reveal their pain and agony. Some enter eternity without saying anything, while others utter sentiments that disclose their values, priorities, and innermost ...read more

  • Final Words Of A Family Man Series

    “When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, ‘Dear woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’” In the midst of His pain and recognizing that He is about to die for the

    Final Words of a Family Man In the days before expectant fathers were allowed in the delivery room, four dads-to-be gathered in a Minneapolis hospital waiting room while their wives were in labor. The nurse arrived and announced to the first man, “Congratulations, sir. You’re the father of ...read more

  • Pulling The Weeds Of Legalism Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003
    based on 206 ratings
     | 58,029 views

    Following a list of rules and regulations will never lead to spiritual vitality. Grace demands that we avoid judging others according to our standards.

    Pulling the Weeds of Legalism Almost every state in our nation still has laws on their books that would surprise most people. For instance, In Florida, a woman may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer. In Indiana, citizens are not allowed to attend a movie house or ride in a public ...read more

  • Becoming Y2f Compliant

    based on 36 ratings
     | 2,785 views

    Just as Mario has been struggling with his English, and I have struggled with my Spanish, my guess is that many of you are struggling with learning another language. It’s called the language of evangelism.

    Becoming Y2F Compliant As you may know, Beth and I spent the last three years in Mexico City working as church planters. My primary activity was to offer English classes to business people. I taught for a computer company called Silicon Graphics, and also held classes at Pepsi Cola. One day, in ...read more

     | 51,014 views

    Let me give you my proposition right at the beginning: “God’s people following God’s plan receive God’s promises.” When we do what God says we will enjoy His promises. We are blessed when we do things God’s way. Let’s explore together about what the Bib

    How to Pray for a Nation Happy Independence Day! You are part of the faithful remnant that has remained behind this holiday weekend. As we focus on our nation this morning, it’s good to be an American, isn’t it? • Only in America…do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the ...read more

  • Flourishing In Faithfulness Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 19,625 views

    Since God is forever faithful to us, He desires for us to be faithful to Him and to others. A faithful person walks in the truth not matter what happens to him.

    Flourishing in Faithfulness Rev. Brian Bill 7/22/01 Someone asked me a couple weeks ago if the jokes I hear about Wisconsin offend me. I told him that I ask for it by bringing up “God’s Country” so often in my sermons. That reminds me of the man who decided to write a book about churches ...read more

    Today I want to tell you about a fishing trip that took place after the Resurrection.

    Hi, my name is Simon Peter. You’ve probably heard of some of my most embarrassing moments. It would take me all day to tell you about how my mouth has messed me up, and about how I let Jesus down, as well as the other disciples. Today I want to tell you about a fishing trip that took place after ...read more

  • Confessions Of A Chronic Complainer

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on May 24, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,860 views

    Our complaining and grumbling spirit might just keep us from experiencing all the good things God has for us.

    Confessions of a Chronic Complainer TCF Sermon March 21, 2004 A few weeks ago, I picked up Laura after school, and she told me, Dad, we have to go to the hospital. Well, many parents might panic if their child said that, but with Laura, I know immediately what she means, I don’t even have to ...read more

  • Pursuing Purity In An Impure World Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 24, 2004
    based on 114 ratings
     | 32,250 views

    We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

    Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more
