    Father’s Day

    When I die, notice that I didn’t say if I die, when I die, if I could, I would love to leave behind words of wisdom for my children.

    Are Paul’s three crosses also yours?

    “BUT MAY IT NEVER BE THAT I SHOULD BOAST, EXCEPT IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHICH THE WORLD HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED TO ME, AND I TO THE WORLD.” When Paul wrote his letter to the church in Galatia, it was in reaction to their having gone back, from receiving the grace of God, to ...read more

    Knee Bowed And Body Bent Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 19, 2000
    based on 97 ratings
     | 9,272 views

    Since body language communicates our real feelings, we must pay attention to how we present our bodies to God -- in the words of James Weldon Johnson, "knee-bowed", ready to submit our wills to His; and "body-bent", ready to work for things that matter.

    You may not speak a great many foreign languages, but there is one language other than English at which most of us are proficient. That is body language. Whether our mouths can pronounce strange sounds or whether our eyes can make any sense out of different alphabets, we can see body language. ...read more

    A couple had been married for twenty years when they went to a wedding of a close friend’s daughter. During the ring exchange ceremony, the husband started to cry.

    It's Time To Get The Ashes Off The Altar

    Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Jul 19, 2007
    based on 145 ratings
     | 72,078 views

    Often our lives are cluttered by the residue of past experiences, making it difficult for us to receive the full blessings of God.

    Text: Numbers 4:13 "And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon..." My brothers and sisters, biblically, the origin of the altar goes clear back to Genesis when Noah built an altar to offer sacrifices after the flood. Genesis 8 & 20 says: "And Noah ...read more

     | 4,187 views

    A sermon that tries to compare the need for a rest in music with the need for rest for the Christian.

    I am tone deaf. Those who have heard me sing can only agree with me. Thank goodness I am not in a denomination where the minister sings the liturgy. Yet today I would like to give you a Music lesson. The lesson I would like to teach is that in music there is a space for the rest. Much great music ...read more

    Slippery Rocks

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 15, 2003
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,154 views

    Even the fundamentals of our faith -- the Bible, prayer, the church, spiritual experience -- can become slippery, unsure. The way to certainty is through obedience.

    Although generally I stay away from stories that begin, “There were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish rabbi,” today I’ll make an exception. Sometimes you just have to be corny to get your point across. So, sure enough, there were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a ...read more

    Abraham responded to God’s Word; rebuked the world; and received God’s righteousness.

    [The outline was borrowed from John MacArthur’s Hebrews commentary.] A business man well known for his ruthlessness once announced to writer Mark Twain, “Before I die I mean to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. I will climb Mount Sinai and read the Ten Commandments aloud at the top.” “I have a ...read more

    Real Fellowship Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Feb 20, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,971 views

    What does the word “fellowship” bring to your mind? Do you think of coffee or fried chicken or church socials? Paul had a wonderful fellowship with the Philippian church that didn’t have anything to do with any of those.

    I love our times of fellowship, don’t you? We joke all the time about how much Baptists love to eat, but I think that one of the reasons we like to eat so much is because of the fellowship that goes along with it. Those times are wonderful and I wouldn’t trade anything in the world ...read more
