    What To Say When We Don't Know What To Say - Funeral Sermon

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jun 30, 2021
     | 14,306 views

    When someone passes away unexpectedly, we often are left without knowing what to say. Through the story of Lazarus' death, we can see some things we can say when we do not know what to say.

    “What to Say When You Don’t Know What to Say” Introduction There are not many times when I am left speechless. I’m often told that I have a tendency to not be quiet and listen — that I actually talk too much. When I first heard of Debbie’s passing, however, I found myself without words to say. ...read more

    After a year off for Covid, God is signaling the Church that it's time to get moving again; we've been camped in one spot too long. The trumpet is sounding, "Rise up! It's time to move!"

    RISE UP! IT’S TIME TO MOVE! Numb. 10:5-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An Ohio businessman abandoned his broken-down car during a torrential downpour in Louisiana.

    Joseph: An Example Of Salvation Series

    Joseph, serving as Jesus’ earthly father figure, was an exemplary father. He was not only an excellent role model for his son, but within Joseph lies a certain character trait, which just happens to be Jesus’ strongest attribute.

    The Christian singer Michael Card wrote a piece entitled Joseph’s Song. To begin this morning, I am going to read a few lines from this song. Listen closely, and from what you know about Joseph from the Bible, think about whether these words could have come from Joseph’s own heart: Lord I know ...read more

    Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,829 views

    What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

    Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

     | 1,370 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE.

    Are you ready for Jesus to return? Do you want Him to return? It's important for us all to live like He'd return today... because one day you'll be right. He'll return.

    Several years ago Johnny Carson had Billy Graham as a guest on his show. At one point in the conversation and Johnny said, "You know what Billy, I bet if Jesus ever came back to earth, we'd do him in again!" Graham leaned forward in his seat, and said, “In the Bible we read that ...read more

    If we are to understand the divine authority of Scripture, it is important that we understand the way scripture was inspired by God. It is the bedrock of our faith in Christ. Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

    The admiral sailing his flagship on the open seas left his quarters and had gone into the bridge after darkness had fallen. He looked out into the night with his binoculars. A light was coming directly toward them, and they were on a collision course! He gave an order to his crew: send a signal ...read more
