    Lose Some Weight!

    Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,112 views

    A little play on words here, but with a serious intent. The message encourages us to gain victories over the flesh, so that our Spirit man can flourish in the Lord, and gain strength; while our flesh "loses weight"!

    Stand & Read - 1 Cor. 3:1-7 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. [2] I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, [3] for you are still fleshly. ...read more

    As a kid, we loved nicknames. It meant acceptance, identity. Once playing baseball, someone called me, "Slugger." Thrilling. What must it feel like to have the Lord give you a name? Fulfill your potential.

    A Man Called Peter John 1:40-42 Intro. Opening day of the 1954 baseball season. A rookie named Jim Greengrass put on a stellar performance. With a made for baseball name, he went 3 for 4 with a couple of extra-base hits. Another rookie started that day also. Didn’t do so well. Struck out 4 times, ...read more

    You see ... the news that I got for you this evening maybe old news for some and new news for others ... but there is one thing certain about this news unlike other news ... this particular news never plays out.

    Preached on Wednesday, 10 January 2007 At Greater Faith Church-Baptist Waukegan, Illinois (v.57) And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

    The beauty of life is only possible when each performer plays his or her part well, submitting to the leader, fully cooperating with the Conductor. When this happens the music is so beautiful the whole world is draw to the Conductor/Composer.

    18 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 22 Slaves, obey ...read more

    As a child I really enjoyed playing hide and go seek. Little did I realize as a child how much this game of hide and seek paralleled the Return - The Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (Updated October 2023)

    I loved it ... weather... I was the one hiding ... trying not to get caught, ... or if I was the one seeking; ......who was trying to catch unexpectedly ... those that were hiding. Although I have not played in quite some time, ......I do remember ... that the seeker, ......was called ... the ...read more

    We cannot manufacture joy by trying to be good, nor can we survive game-playing. Joy comes from knowing that without Christ we would not be good at all, but that in Him we are freed from guilt.

    The happiest people I know are not necessarily the most moral people I know. And the most unhappy people I know are among the most moral people I know. I’ll bet you didn’t follow that. Let me try again. The happiest people I know are not necessarily the most moral people I know. And the most ...read more

    When buying the right home price, foundation and location play a huge role in our selection but what choosing our eternal home? Is not our eternal home so much better than any physical one?

    Choosing the right home is not an easy task. Recently my wife and I went through the process of buying a new home. To say it was challenging would be an understatement! After all, a home is one of the most expensive items that a person invests in during their lifetime … so you want to ...read more

    Salt & Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Feb 6, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,665 views

    1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

    It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

    Trials play an important part in our walk of faith, as well as our knowledge of the character and faithfulness of God. Only as we learn to look to Him in faith and confidence can we hope to have our needs met.

    From Trials To Trust Text: II Kings 4: 1-7 Intro: Let’s be honest this morning. There’s not one person here that has not had to endure some trials of some sort. Trials seem to be an integral part of life that cannot be bypassed. We all face them, perhaps some more than others. But for the ...read more

    The parable of the Lost Coin, Lost Sheep and Two Lost sons is about God’s grace. The youngest found direction in the midst of the choas of his life. Jesus is reminding the Pharisees that God does not play by their rules of acceptance.

    In Jesus Holy Name March 14, 2010 Text: Luke 15:1-6 Redeemer “In the Chaos of Life…. Hope and Direction” “Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus… and the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying… This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with ...read more

    A short talk to encourage the congregation to see Old Testament scripture as Jesus saw it, and specifically to receive the law referred to in Psalm 119 as instruction - like we receive instruction when learning to swim or play guitar.

    Last week I had the wonderful privilege of spending four nights with the Benedictine monks of St. Augustine’s Abbey Chilworth in the Surrey hills. This was my second visit after spending 5 days with them in July 2012 at the start of my extended study leave. Their ministry is prayer and ...read more

    Access To The Presence Of God Series

    Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on May 15, 2022
     | 3,103 views

    In the previous message, faith and its function were discussed. Faith plays an important role in accessing the presence of God. In the New Testament, there are many stories that teach the value of the presence of God; Jesus Christ, and his impact on people.

    Faith in God is a gift of God, the one who received, has the confidence to enter the presence of God. Apostle Paul in Eph 3:12, say, "...enter God's presence with boldness & confidence." This gift of faith is for everyone because Jesus Christ died for everyone. Be Confident in ...read more

    Daily choices bring your heart into play. Fools listen to their hearts; wise men consult God’s word. Fools reject instruction and warnings from godly people, wise men love and seek them.

    Plotting evil or Promoting Peace Prov. 12:11-20 Why are the Proverbs are so Important . God desires and commands us to live in wisdom—”Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.” (Ephesians 5:15).

    This was a funeral for a woman who had struggled with disease for several years. Every time she went to see the doctor she asked her daughter to play the song "Lord, I hope this day is good."

    (prior to the sermon the funeral home played the old Country hit “Lord, I hope this day is good.”) OPEN: Kay was a wonderful woman who struggled with a terrible disease that ultimately took her life.
