    The Dash

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Dec 5, 2015
     | 14,575 views

    The Dash is a message written from the thought that our entire life is depicted as a dash on our tombstone. Different emotions and stages of life are discussed.

    I am resending The Dash. I think I sent the wrong copy before, because this version has no quotation marks, bullets, or apostrophes. I retyped this one from notepad or an old Works program. If it still doesn't work, let me know. THE DASH I. Almost every human being has one. Some have decayed, ...read more

     | 9,587 views

    John the Baptist was an unexpected person bringing an unexpected message at an unexpected time. A communion sermon for Advent.

    Every one of us has certain expectations at Christmas. We expect to buy gifts and we expect to receive gifts. We expect the lights and the colors and the sights and the sounds of the season. We expect to eat a lot! We expect long lines in the department stores, and apparently this year more than ...read more

    In a time of great fear, Isaiah prophesied, "Your God will come!" These prophetic words offer hope for our lives today.

    "How Will We Serve God In 2016?"

     | 13,915 views

    A sermon for the New Year.

    "How Will We Serve Christ in 2016?" Matthew 25:31-45 I think this is a very appropriate passage of Scripture to look at as we come to the end of a year, and prepare for a new one. The reason I say this is that Jesus is filling in the metaphors of the parables that come before it. "This is ...read more

    Bones Of Hope

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,958 views

    When everything seems past hope, God can resurrect our promises. Its takes faith, action and obedience. God can even bring a nation back to life.

    THE BONES OF HOPE TEXT: Ezek. 37:1-14 INTRO: One of the more frightening words in the English language is "HOPELESS"! History is replete with the examples of "hopeless" situations, however, in the hands of God those "hopeless" situations are merely opportunities for God to reveal Himself! God ...read more

    Memorials

    Christians have a Memorial Day each and every first day of the week. “Do this in remembrance of me” The Lord’s Supper is a memorial that allows us to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    Remembering is so very important. There are people, places and events that we remember. We leave ourselves reminder notes to help us remember to get things done on time. A man was working in his backyard one day, when his neighbor began talking to him over the fence. He said, "Yeah, my wife and I ...read more

    The raising of the Widow of Nain's son shows us the compassion of Jesus

    The Raising of the Widow of Nain’s Son Introduction Today’s Gospel reading isn’t a very easy passage to speak on. I think the key to understanding why Luke included this story in his Gospel can be found in the final passage of Lk 7 - Luke 7:18-35 John the Baptist has held in ...read more

    Sermon about doubt, and not recognising Jesus

    When I was a child, I was allowed to walk to and from school on my own as soon as I could safely cross the road, and from quite an early age, I was pretty much allowed to disappear all afternoon during weekends, just so long as I was home by dinner time. Now I am not suggesting the world was a ...read more

    we again are looking at the 40 days Jesus ministered after His resurrection. We see He spoke of power that was outside of ourselves and that by His Holy Spirit disciples of Christ would do amazing things in the power of God working in our lives.

    Acts of the Apostles Book of Acts selected verses Introduction- This week our leaders spent 2 ½ days at District convention. It was a great time of refreshing. It was a time to hear God’s Word from someone other than me. That is good for them and good for me. If we are not careful, even the ...read more
