    based on 74 ratings
     | 6,393 views

    Hay dos clases de sabiduría: la una viene de Dios y produce vida; la otra viene del mundo, de los hombres y produce muerte. ¿Cuál de ellas gobierna su vida?

    INTRODUCCIÓN Al leer el texto de esta mañana, si Ud. es observador se habrá dado cuenta de que una y otra vez aparece una palabra en particular: sabiduría. Si leemos el contexto del pasaje (1:18-2:16) encontraremos que dicha palabra aparece a lo menos 20 veces en éstos 30 versículos! Otra cosa ...read more

    Laughing Out Loud At God

    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,110 views

    If we adopt the Abraham/Sarah pattern of abandoning trust in divine promises, and choosing our preferred detours, and if we laugh at the promises of God, we invite catastrophe, and ensure that God will have the last laugh.

    Laughing Out Loud at God!!?? REV.

    When Your Name Is Called?

    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,350 views

    Does your name bless or curse people and will you have a name of blessing or cursing after you die?

    When Your Name Is Called? What’s in a name? We all have them. Maybe our name is very common or like one fellow from W VA our names may be unique. Seems they put names in a hat and drew out the size tag, 6 7/8 and that is what they named him 6 7/8 Jones. Whatever our name is it has meaning now ...read more

    A Slowly-Moving Ship

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Oct 21, 2003
    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,780 views

    A sermon for my friend’s induction service, it uses a long analogy of a rescue ship with food and medicine, unwilling to share with others.

    Ephesians 4:1-16 – A Slowly-Moving Ship A ship rocked slowly upon the greasy seas. Its sails were tattered, its masts spliced, and its hull leaky with worm-eaten planks, but it still stayed afloat. It had been sailing for many years – for generations, actually. Many years ago it had been loaded ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 10,921 views

    When Christmas is past - the joy and the glory of it - what do we have left? This sermon tells us what remains after the strains of "Silent Night, Holy Night" have ceased.

    Only The Star Remains; Isaiah 63:7-9; Matthew 2: 1-18 The miraculous, glorious birth is over. The shepherds have probably left the birth-place to return to their keeping watch over their flocks. The friendly beasts that attended this birth, feeling the stir of excitement that animals feel when ...read more

    Unity Is Oneness, Not Sameness

    Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Oct 29, 2003
    based on 61 ratings
     | 14,612 views

    Jesus prays for unity in the Church that is to come. Yet, His prayer indicates He knows we will struggle. As long as we keep our focus on God we will overcome our denominational differences and find our oneness in Christ.

    Ruth Bell once said, “If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary” She went on to say, “If two people agree on everything, they double their chances of being wrong.” Now, Ruth Bell was not referring to the diversity of thought in the Christian church, she was instead talking ...read more

    Listening For Leadership Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 6, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,820 views

    Our view of leadership is that it is aggressive, know-it-all. But in reality it is bearing witness to God’s power, not our own; and leaders are qualified to be leaders by what they do NOT know.

    Do you know the story of the woman who liked to sit for an hour or so every evening at her front window? She would just sit, looking at the traffic racing by. After the children had been coached through their homework, after her husband had been reminded about the jobs on his "To do" list; after ...read more

     | 14,973 views

    The third message in a series of seven on brokenness. This message is on Peter.

    What God can do with a Broken Man? To become truly a man of God you have to reach a breaking point and then choose to be broken. Some men choose to harden. Men like the Pharoah of Egypt who would not let Moses lead the people to the promised land. Men like Judas Iscariot who betrayed the ...read more

    Declare If You Know Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 24, 2002
    based on 29 ratings
     | 5,508 views

    The Palm Sunday crowds, like Job’s friends, shouted their slogans too glibly, communicating only popularity and prejudice, substituting religiosity and mere activity for knowing Jesus personally.

    Declare if you know. Declare. Interesting word, “Declare”. It suggests that when we communicate, there are a variety of levels at which we can speak. There are different intensities we can use when we want to say something. Some folks merely suggest. They offer timid little ideas ...read more

    God’s Heart for Lost People

    READ: Exodus 3:7-10 [Have entire chapter read earlier]. It would serve us well, by way of introduction this morning, to just quickly recap Israel’s history from the end of Genesis (chapter 50), to this point in Exodus chapter 3.

    A sermon on the story of Elijah and the Prophets of Baal.

    READING: 1 Kings 18:17-40 (Text v39.) Ever wondered why it is that a church can be small and struggling (and remain that way) - insignificant in the community - and not even looking like changing for many years to come; and then ALL OF A SUDDEN, through a series of events - a speaker comes with a ...read more
