    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Apr 5, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,322 views

    Getting through dry times, is not done by the use of your wits, your education, your determination, or the power of positive thinking. Getting through dry times requires a supernatural solution.

    So, I get a call late one night, it is the sister of a good friend of mine – she never calls. There is a long pause after I answer. Then a little chit chat, then quickly comes the news: A childhood friend of mine, her sister, has just died of lung failure, she was only 38. I’m floored. I’m not sure ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,162 views

    If you have ever been in the position of the father in the story, you know the heartbreak, the sleepless nights, the wondering, and the self-reproach. "Where did I fail?" It is agony to await the outcome.

    Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So he told them this parable: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ...read more

    Mutiny In The Desert

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on May 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,067 views

    Why is it that we are never satisfied with what we have? Why is it that we covet the things others have like possessions, position or power (authority)? We seem to be like the monkey.

    Mutiny in the Desert Childrens Story Comment: There is a story that says in Africa and India the natives use a technique to catch monkeys. They hollow out one end of a coconut and they put peanuts in there Ive also heard bananas but same concept. The monkey puts his hand in the coconut and when he ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Dec 16, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,195 views

    From our position as disciples of Christ, we are not able to determine Good from Evil in the events that overtake us; we trust in God to make everything work together for good.

    COUNTING THE COST Luck AND PROVIDENCE Luke 14__25- 33 PHILEMON 1—25 Luke 14:25-33 A poor aged Chinese farmer had a single horse on which he depended for everything. The horse pulled the plough, drew the wagon, and was the old farmer’s sole means of transportation. One day a bee stung the ...read more

    Evangelization Of An Ethiopian

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Dec 10, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,949 views

    Forgiveness and salvation are universal needs. Those needs are not met in one’s personal moral properties or position in life, but only through faith in the person and work of Christ Jesus the Lord.

    Evangelization Of An Ethiopian Text: Acts 8: 35-38 Intro: Prior to the story that we have just read, we are told of the death of Stephen, one of the first deacons of the church of Jerusalem. Before his death, Stephen preached a scorching sermon to the religious leaders of his day, concerning ...read more

    Second Chance In Christ Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 21, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,339 views

    Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

    “We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

     | 19,568 views

    Following Jesus: It’s long hours, hard work, costly, and a little bit crazy, but would we ever consider changing positions and serving someone else? Not a chance!

    I thought that I finally had a totally positive sermon for you today! I’ve been under rather trenchant criticism of late for repeatedly giving sermons focused on the theme of judgement and on the hard path of discipleship, and I admit that I have been looking for that text, "Come to me, all ye who ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,072 views

    God wants us to be able to say with Paul, positively, "I CAN do all things through Christ Who strengthens me!" Let's consider Paul's revelation for a moment.

    SPIRITUAL SUCCESS COMES IN “CANS” Phil. 4:13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. JOKE #1: LAWYER’S REVENGE a. A lawyer's dog, running about unleashed, beelines for the local butcher shop and steals a roast off the counter. b. The butcher went to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog, running ...read more

    A Holiday For Fools

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 31, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,511 views

    Who is a fool? The one who worships a living Saviour? Or the one who says he needs no god? The message is a presentation of the reasonable position of worshipping Christ who conquered death.

    “Fools say to themselves, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt and commit evil deeds; not one of them practices what is good. “The LORD looks down from the heavens upon humanity to see if anyone shows discernment as he searches for God. All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; ...read more

     | 3,417 views

    A look at the negative reaction the Magi received when they arrived in Jerusalem. Often in our lives our attempts to follow God are not met with positive responses from those around us.

    THE RESPONSE THE MAGI RECEIVED IN JERUSALEM: Their question didn’t bring joy, but instead brought surprise, anger, embarrassment, and fear. - Matthew 2:1-7. a. Surprise. - Matthew 2:3. - The people are surprised by this news. We know this because of the response. No one has any idea ...read more

     | 10,589 views

    Jesus provides four undeniable testimonies or witnesses which validate His Divine position as the Eternal Son of God sent from the Father's side, and provides proof of His Godhead.

    “Four Undeniable Testimonies about Jesus” John 5:30-47 The human heart and mind of man is very skeptical and changeable, and when it comes to matters of faith and believing in Jesus as Savior and Lord, Jesus being equal to the Father in nature and that He is indeed a person of the ...read more

    Ten Commandments: The Gift Of Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jan 8, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,292 views

    A positive view of the Sabbath, as God's gift to us. It is a) a time to relax, b) a time to worship, and c) a taste of heaven. A balanced view, with a unique perspective on c).

    THE GIFT OF SABBATH—Exodus 20:8-11, Exodus 31:12-16 (Children’s Sermon: Show a car Maintenance Schedule. Just as a car needs maintenance, we do too. We do that at church, and other times…) Which of the 10 commandments is optional? For many Americans, all of them! You can hardly go through a day ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,177 views

    People's experience with those in the church is often their first experience with Christianity. What are we to say when that experience was less than positive? How are we going to respond?

    “I don’t mind Jesus, it’s his followers I can’t stand.” “You wouldn’t believe the way that I was treated when I went to that church.” “I’ve seen the way that Christians act when they’re not at church.” “The church is a bunch of hypocrites.” What’s your first reaction when you hear comments ...read more

    An in-depth, multi-part biblical look at "Deliverance Ministry," curses, "sins of the father," the position, rights and authority of every Born-Again Christian.

    During the late 1960’s there began a teaching within the church that is now known as ‘Deliverance Ministry (DM).’ It is believed by a majority of DM proponents that when a person becomes Born-Again, light comes into their spirit, and they become brand new, but their body will not be made new ...read more
