Living And Dying For Jesus: Thoughts For All Saints Day

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 1, 2006

This sermon talks about how in baptism we "cross the threshold" into God’s family. We become "saints" by virtue of our connection to Jesus. Many "saints’ past and present have given their life because of their witness to the resurrection of Jesus.

The Things You Don't See

Contributed by Carl Willis on Nov 24, 2006

We all face times when we wonder if God is really present? Just because you don’t see God’s movement doesn’t mean He isn’t already moving in your circumstances.

The Things You Don’t See 2 Kings 6:8-17 2 Kings 6:8-9 (NLT) When the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confer with his officers and say, "We will mobilize our forces at such and such a place."

Opportunity Is Bald From Behind

Contributed by Mark Adams on Feb 25, 2009

This is a short devotional talk beginning with the Greek god Kairos, who represents the fleeting nature of opportunity, and using an understanding of Kairos to inform our reading of Ephesians 5:8-20 where Paul presents several things that are urgent for C

In Greek, there are at least a couple of different words that mean “Time.” - Kronos – This is the word you use when you talk about the clock. It is a sequential word, where we get words like “Chronology” or “Chronological”. It’s a word about Order. - Kairos – This is the word I want to examine ...read more

The Significance Of The Person And Work Of Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 6, 2010

In the person of Christ we are presented with two complete and integrated natures, the human and the divine. At his birth He was named “Jesus”, the Greek form of Joshua, meaning “the Lord Saves”. Jesus is not man becoming God but God incarnated into fl

"The Rich Little Man"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 10, 2010

In Luke 19:1-10 Jesus’ willingness to be present to Zacchaeus ends up being an act of evangelism. His encounter with his Savior changes his life. Is there ever anyone beyond the reach of God’s grace. The answer is "No!"

Luke 19:1-10 “The Rich Little Man” By: Ken Sauer, pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Poor Zacchaeus! He wants to see Jesus but he can’t. He’s a small man, and he can’t see through the crowd. So, he climbs a tree. Poor Zacchaeus!... …or is he? Luke tells us ...read more

If you spend time around groups of kids, be it in sports, music, social or other setting, you will quickly notice some interesting interactions.

The Offender

Contributed by James May on Feb 18, 2018

I was led by the Holy Spirit to present this sermon in a very dramatic fashion so that it would have a major impact upon the congregation. He accomplished the work. It drove home the point that anyone, at anytime, can become the Offender to betray Jesus

The Now Prophecies: Where Are We On God’s Timeline

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Jul 26, 2016

It’s important that we are all on the same calendar so our schedules, planning, agendas will match. If God has a calendar, and I think He does, where is present placement on God’s calendar of events.

Giving And Taking

Contributed by David Radcliff on Mar 25, 2016

Opening Our Eyes To God’s Glory

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 25, 2017

The transfiguration reveals that Jesus is powerful (he is God!), primary (he must come first), personable (he cares about us), and passionate (he desires all to be saved). God wants us, like the disciples present, to "listen to him!"

Matthew 17:1-9 Opening Our Eyes to God’s Glory Do you ever get the sense that you take God for granted? Some of us grew up in homes where going to Sunday worship was expected of us. We grew up always knowing the love of God from an early age. And perhaps we’re spoiled a little. We don’t remember ...read more

Doubting God’s Provision

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 19, 2017

Like the Israelites of old, we are quick to complain and grumble and quarrel, and our fight really is with God, doubting his provision, forgetting what he has done for us in the past. But God is present and at work if we will only trust him.

Exodus 17:1-7 Doubting God’s Provision Do you wake up grumpy in the morning? No, just let him sleep! (That’s an old joke.) I went to the dentist this week, and I heard a patient in the cubicle next to me grumbling about the fee. She said, “Two hundred bucks for one tooth extraction! And it’s only ...read more

Answering Atheism

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 16, 2015

Militant anti-theism claims that religion is the root of all evil...yet this worldview presents an intangible definition of evil. The problem with atheism is moral, an excuse to live any way one pleases...while Christianity offers a clear view of life.

“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God,” Psalm 14:1. Jesus warned against lightly calling people fools in Matthew 5:22. “Anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Hell.” A “fool” is not an unintelligent, dim-witted person. The term ...read more

The Prayer Of A Depressed Saint

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 30, 2014

Psalm 13, for instance, presents the prayer of a man in deep depression. I’ll bet that most, if not all of us are depressed from time-to-time. Today, we know that depression may be the result of many different factors.
