    Contributed by Steve Ely on Sep 8, 2018
     | 4,797 views

    The game is decided by those who get in the game, not by those who sit in the stands! It is Game Day. Are you on the field?

    Draft Day I. Introduction It has become a spectacle or event that at times seems to rival the hype, excitement, and production of the Super Bowl or World Series. People line up. They put on their favorite team gear. Hold signs. Paint themselves from head to toe. It is the rabid craziness you would ...read more

     | 6,215 views

    We talk, sing, and pray using the language of the Kingdom . . . words like Lord, King, and sovereign. However, citizenship in a democracy keeps us from understanding the throne.

    Ever played the game of choosing someone to catch you as you fell backwards. We can put even more trust in God

    Who do you trust to catch you? May have heard the joke about the man who fell off a cliff but managed to grab onto a root jutting out from the cliff face • As he hung there reviewing his options, he started calling out, “Is anyone up there” • He was surprised to hear a voice say to him, “Yes, this ...read more

    On Any Given Sunday

    based on 58 ratings
     | 5,230 views

    Using the analogy of draft day in the NFL and how a team is put together we see that when the game is played anything can happen.

    “Any Given Sunday.” Hebrews 10:11-18 On any given Sunday is a term familiar to those who enjoy professional football. This term refers to the competition that goes beyond what the so-called experts say about anyone team. This is a term that speaks of intangibles. Things like heart, character and ...read more

    We talk, sing, and pray using the language of the Kingdom . . . words like Lord, King, and sovereign. However, citizenship in a democracy keeps us from understanding the throne.

    Game of Thrones Pt. 4 - The Whole Pie Introduction After 1 year we have finally come to the final battle in the attack on the 5 principalities that I identified for us.

    The Blame God Game - A 2 Part Message

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 18, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,311 views

    God is love. He disciplines His children. Many believe that means He ‘punishes,’ or ‘scolds’ or ‘spanks’ with severe means in the best eternal interests of the Born-Again Christian.

    How do you reconcile the merciful goodness and love of God with pain, sorrow, sickness, and suffering? The Blame God Game first started in the Garden of Eden when God commanded Adam to “work it and take care of it.” He then told Adam that he was “free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you ...read more

    Using the backdrop of board games, we look at God's sovereignty and our temptation to take his original plan and insert our own "house rules."

    God’s game. His rules or House rules? 1. Games. (Scrolled through slides of several games: Life, Monopoly, Uno, etc.) 2. Sorry: Object of the game is to get your four pieces from the start into your home, different cards different instructions, slides (but not your own color), safe ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,132 views

    God seems to love the "Quiet Game" and seems to be the world's most skilled player. How can you hear Him when He seems to be so quiet?

    Quiet Games Pt. 1 - The Silent Treatment I. Introduction It is a scam. A ploy. I am convinced it is nothing more than a well disguised trick to get a momentary respite and break from the barrage of sound that emanates from a classroom full of rowdy 2nd graders. I am talking about my least favorite ...read more

    We live in a society of victims. Everyone has an excuse for the things that they do against God. It’s called THE BLAME GAME, and it is not new. It comes from our FALLEN NATURE. We discover the blame game in Genesis 3. It is the record of the sin, e

     | 7,184 views

    Ordination sermon, involving a play on the names of Samson in the Bible and Sampson, the ordinand, an entertainer, puppeteer, and beauty pageant winner. The whole secret of strength is in using the gifts God has given for ministry and not for one’s self.

    The world didn’t give it, and the world can’t take it away. Isn’t that what we sing. I’m not so sure. What do you think? The world didn’t give it? I agree. That’s true. But the world can’t take it away? I am not at all sure. We are here today because Yolanda Sampson has heard the ...read more
