    The Balanced Church

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 18, 2010
     | 3,918 views

    Sometimes we get so focused on just one aspect of Christianity that we fail to see the big picture: we miss the rest of the story.

    AN OLD SOLDIER’S PERSPECTIVE OF A BALLANCED CHURCH ILLUSTRATION In the summer time my wife and I love to feed hummingbirds. Our front porch faces west, which makes it an excellent place for flowers and for birds. Each year we put out 3 or 4 hummingbird feeders so that we can sit on the ...read more

    Christmas: Will You Make Room For Jesus?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 23, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,602 views

    A short talk for our 2011 Christingle services. Will you make room for Jesus? If you do, 2012 and the rest of your life will be very different!

    Someone suggested to me recently that if money ever became tight I should consider becoming a joke writer for Christmas crackers. So, I turned to him and asked, “What did the grumpy sheep say when the shepherd offered him a black and white sweet?” Baa-hum bug! I’m guessing that because you are ...read more

    Bathsheba, A Mother To Model

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on May 2, 2013
    based on 85 ratings
     | 70,859 views

    Bathsheba is probably one of the least likely people you ever thought of as a good example for mothers, but it is time you heard the rest of her story.

    Bathsheba, a Mother to Model This Mother’s Day I have chosen someone very different to speak on. In fact, in my research I have not found anyone who has ever chosen to use Bathsheba as an example for Mother’s Day, for some reason we are able to grant David forgiveness and restoration, but ...read more

    Man, Flesh and Grace! Grace welcomes mankind to come forward and rest in the arms of Jesus Christ. Verse upon verse from the book of Romans.

    Being In Right Standings Text: Romans 3:19-31 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for ...read more

     | 8,735 views

    In the Gospel Lesson for this sermon, it’s a bit hard to tell who the real Blind Beggar is. Is it Bartimaeus or is it the disciples or the rest of the crowd?

    Mark 10:46-52 “Will the Real Blind Beggar please Stand Up” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN There’s an old t-v show called To Tell the Truth where contestants are challenged to figure out which of three or four persons are the Real ...read more

    The Poor In Spirit Have God's Approval Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 12, 2011
     | 4,293 views

    Part 1. God's approval, his blessing, rests upon those who are poor, contrite in spirit, aware they are spiritually bankrupt before God.

    ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’ (5:3). The Good News Bible says, ‘Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor’ but that doesn’t properly capture what Jesus means. Although it seems old fashioned now, when a father gives his ...read more

    God Gave You And Me A Conscience, Why?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 9, 2014
     | 4,407 views

    The second is the evidence of an inner voice or conscience that instinctively knows the difference between right and wrong, a moral compass, that none of the rest of His creation has.

    God gave you and me a Conscience, why? God wants every human being to enter and live forever in His kingdom. However His kingdom is one of righteousness meaning there is no sin there, that is, there is never any disobedience to God there. Because Adam and Eve chose to believe Satan’s ...read more

     | 439 views

    As we journey through life, we can rest in the assurance that we have a God who will never allow the enemy to triumph over us.

    SUPERNATURAL ESCAPE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 124:6-8 "Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made ...read more

     | 529 views

    You don’t have to earn God’s love—He gives it freely by grace. Stop striving, and rest in the gift of His love.

    ### **I. Introduction: The Lie We Believe** Video Ill.: Sermon Bumper 1 The world is full of lies. And sadly, many times the lies of the world are believed and become our truth.

     | 489 views

    But Simeon’s song is sung in fulfillment—the song of a man who waited, watched, and finally whispered, “Lord, now I can rest.”

    Living Between Prayer And Promise

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 270 views

    Live faithfully between prayer and promise—trust God’s future, obey His present reign, and rest in hope until Christ returns.

    Most of our lives are not lived at the beginning of a story or at the end of one. They are lived somewhere in the middle — in that long, unfinished stretch where things are still forming, still unresolved, still waiting to make sense. We live between what has already been spoken and what has not ...read more

    God’s Love Is For Giving: A Confessional Sermon On John 3:16

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 195 views

    John 3:16 reveals a love that gives before we act, inviting weary believers to stop striving, receive grace, and rest in God.

    Have you ever wondered why you don’t often hear sermons preached on John 3:16? I don’t mean references to it. I don’t mean quoting it in passing. I mean a full sermon—sitting with it, staying with it, letting it speak. At first, that sounds strange. Because John 3:16 is everywhere. Many of us ...read more

    God’s everlasting love transforms mortal believers into ever-loving saints who rest in Christ now and rise with Him at His coming

    INTRODUCTION — THE QUESTIONS LOVE ASKS It’s not the loudest questions that stay with us. It’s the quiet ones — the ones whispered by an empty chair, a photograph, or a fading voice. Questions like: Where are they now? Do they see us? Are they watching? Is death the end — or a pause between ...read more
