    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,273 views

    Do what Jesus says -- even when it doesn’t make sense. Give what Jesus wants -- even when it isn’t easy. Feel what Jesus feels -- even when others don’t. Receive what Jesus offers -- even when others won’t.

    Every Member a Worshipper Luke 19:28-44 Rev. Brian Bill 4/5/09 A little boy was sick on Palm Sunday and stayed home from church with his mom. When church was over, his dad returned holding a palm branch. The little boy was curious and asked, “Why do you have that palm branch, dad?” The dad told ...read more

     | 11,754 views

    To be wise in God’s eyes, let’s revere and draw near in the new year.

    How to Be a Wise Guy Proverbs 1:1-7 Rev. Brian Bill January 5-6, 2019 The weekend between Christmas and the New Year is often difficult for churches to navigate. One church I know cancels services the last weekend of the year and instead encourages its members to have “Church in My Jammies” ...read more

    Make Every Effort To Grow Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,113 views

    Spiritual growth is intentional, not automatic. When we add to our faith we will abound in fruitfulness and have the assurance of forever. We have all we need and when we use all that we have we will grow…and it will show.

    Make Every Effort to Grow 2 Peter 1:5-11 Rev. Brian Bill April 18-19, 2015 Offering: “Make Me Over” by Natalie Grant Listen to how an article from Tuesday’s Washington Post begins: “It is every pilot’s worst nightmare to hear strange sounds coming from a plane. An ...read more

    Living As Conquerors In The Age Of Coronavirus

    Contributed by Brian Bill on May 1, 2020
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,766 views

    Conquering Christians lock into the love of Christ.

    Here’s a question: Do you see the Bible as a collection of stories or as one story? If we see the Bible as simply disconnected stories, our tendency will be to make the Bible all about us and how we’re supposed to behave. If we see the central narrative of Scripture as the story about God’s ...read more

    The Great Betrayal

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018
     | 9,903 views

    Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

    The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more

    God Is Just

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Aug 6, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,005 views

    While we so readily set ourselves up as judge and jury, we’re going to learn today that God alone is qualified to be the judge because He is always just and knows everything.

    Our Just God Romans 3:25-31 Rev. Brian Bill July 28-29, 2018 I came across an article in the Huffington Post a week ago. Brent Gehring from Nebraska was returning home after having dinner with his daughter Emma. While he was carrying her in his arms, a man yelled at him, “What the ? Make her ...read more

    Eternity Amnesia

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Sep 17, 2015
     | 6,821 views

    We forget what the Word tells us about eternal life, and as a result, this amnesia leads to disappointment, dissatisfaction, and sometimes, poor choices

    Eternity Amnesia TCF Sermon March 10, 2013 An 85 year old couple, married almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mostly because of the wife's interest in a healthier diet. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, ...read more

    Not Quite A Christian Series

     | 6,286 views

    The Savior saved us so we will speak about Him to those He sends us to.

    How many of you remember the sermon from last weekend? Me either. Howard Hendricks used to say we have the potential of remembering 10% of what we hear, and that’s just the potential. Another pastor believes we forget 95% of a sermon after 72 hours. For us to remember, we need to hear things ...read more

    To avoid sliding into sin, make sure you are tethered to God’s truth.

    The Slippery Slope of Sin Genesis 3:6-7 Rev. Brian Bill February 18-19, 2023 One of my favorite shows is America’s Funniest Home Videos. I can’t stop laughing at the videos which show people slipping and sliding on ice. I know first-hand that falling isn’t funny because it led to my shoulder ...read more

    When God says it, that settles it.

    During the summer between my first and second year at Moody Bible Institute, I had the privilege of teaching at a Bible College in Zimbabwe, Africa. This experience marked my life and ministry in countless ways. One of the memories I have is how dark it was at night. Because we were in a rural ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,280 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    based on 235 ratings
     | 66,983 views

    It’s important to not just focus on our conversion—we’re called to demonstrate our commitment on a daily basis by going deeper with God.

    Deepening Your Roots During our “Building for the Future” emphasis, I prepared a five-minute sermon on a cassette tape to help explain the key ingredients of our campaign. I received a lot of very positive feedback. Most of the accolades I received had more to do with the length than with the ...read more

    Grace In Disappointment

    Contributed by Bill Stonebraker on Dec 1, 2012
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,803 views

    Abraham’s faith in the face of his disappointment at being without an heir is met with God’s grace--and becomes a model for all who come to faith after him.

    Warring armies carried off Sodom’s people – including Abram’s nephew Lot & Lot’s family. But with 318 men, Abram pursued & defeated an army, rescued Lot, family, and Sodom’s people. Just before our passage, Abram began his victorious return. Along the way, Melchizedek, high priest of Salem, blessed ...read more

    God will favor us with a combination of faith, hope and love in the forthcoming year of 2009.

    Text: “For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth” (Psalm 71:5). Story: The school system in a large city had a program to help children keep up with their school work during stays in the city’s hospitals.
