Grounded In Truth Series

You Reap What You Sojourn

Contributed by Matthew Everhard on Sep 1, 2004

The Amercian Soldier!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

Dressing up like some ghost or monster and jumping out of the bushes to yell, “boo!” And to see your best friend ...read more
