    This is the third of a three part sermon series I preached during our Month of Missions emphasis. In this particular sermon we considered how the son represents those who willingly and knowingly wander away from God.

    MAIN TEXT - Luke 15:11-32 Over the last couple weeks I have attempted to make a case for us to develop a HEART for MISSIONS – especially here in our “Month of Missions!” In that, I have made it expressly clear that it is all about having a heart that reflects God’s heart! ...read more

    Zacchaeus did whatever it took to see Jesus. What are we willing to do? The closer we look, the better Jesus is. Answer his call today.

    The Pencil

     | 21,343 views

    We were created for a purpose. This sermon shows the similarities between the Christian and a pencil.

    The Pencil Often times Jesus used commonplace things to teach great biblical truths. In Luke 12 Jesus uses the Birds of the air and the Lilly’s of the Field to teach that God is in control and that he will take care of his children. With that in mind I would like us to consider tonight the ...read more

    Why do Christians tend to "circle the wagons" and only hang out with fellow believers?

    A Troubling Question: Why do many Christians have so few non-Christian friends? - Matthew 9:11. - Today there seems to be surprisingly little voluntary relationship between Christians and non-Christians. Of course, there is interaction at work and at Wal-mart, but many Christians seem to spend ...read more

    Through Faith Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 9, 2017
     | 4,711 views

    The concept that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone is a solidly Biblical teaching. Last week, we looked at grace, this week we will examine the idea of faith alone. Both grace and faith are exclusive and must stand alone.

    Through Faith Alone (Romans 3:23-28) 1. I had a good time visiting Dale and Katie Daniels and Mary Ann Bolinger in Warsaw/Winona Lake area. I went from there to Luke’s house. But the GPS had me go too far south and then took me back north. It got me there, but it was complicated and probably ...read more

    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Series

    This was a video devotion that was on a web site during the first winter of COVID 19 with the United Christian Church (DoC) in mind. The phrase "mask up" near the end is in reference to wearing a mask because of COVID

    “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Home Depot before Hallowe’en. That bothers some people more than it bothers me I figure even if the connection is tenuous that anything that gets people to thinking about Jesus is a good thing. ...read more
