    Th celebration of the Lord’s Table causes us to think of what God has done for us in the past and allows us to move confidently into the future. This was true for the people of Israel as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land.

    Trade In "I've Arrived" For "Let's Grow!" Series

    A lot of people plateau because they think once they become a Christian, that’s it -- they’ve arrived. If you want to make progress, trade in that attitude for one that says, "I’m going to grow!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Trade-offs for a happy 2005. Everything plateaus when until you’re willing to make the trade-off. <ILLUS> Mt. Climber up Mt. Everest – started out with cameras, tripods, exotic foods, etc. Discarded them one by one. He had to make the trade-off to keep on climbing upward. Trade in “I’ve ...read more

    The Sum Of God's Thoughts

     | 8,054 views

    Psalms 139:17 tells us, "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them." I list several ways in which God thinks about us.

    As we enter into the thanksgiving season I want to take time to thank Our Heavenly Father for all He does. Life is too short to list all the blessings He has bestowed upon me.In fact, I don’t have enough ink or paper to write them all down. So I just want to share why I am thankful that God thinks ...read more

    This morning is our last message in our series on the Ten Commandments. I think I just heard a sigh of relief from someone. Like many of you, I struggle with this last commandment. “Thou shalt not covet..”

    SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Text: Exodus 20:1,2, & 17 SATISFACTION GUARANTEED This morning is our last message in our series on the Ten Commandments.

    This sermon explores the need to follow God’s lead and not worry about what others think. I do this through the lense of Simon Peter. It also encoureges people to share their faith in a simple manner in their everyday life.

    Simon Peter poked the last bite of fish into his mouth; these were miracle fish, provided by the Master Himself. His mind seemed to whirling trying to process the events of the past couple of weeks. It started with the triumphal entry. Peter had thrilled that everyone seemed to be ready to finally ...read more

    Keith Green once said: "This generation of believers is responsible for this generation of souls." Think about that for a moment. To say it even better, you as a believer will one day be responsible for the lost souls that stray into your daily path.

    I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

    Introduction — Cathy Rigby was a member of the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team during the 1972 Olympics held in Munich, Germany. As the reigning United States champion she had only one goal in mind— to win a gold medal. Prior to the Olympics she had trained longer and harder than she ever had before. ...read more

    God's Word: Nourishment For The Spirit

    based on 29 ratings
     | 8,877 views

    The Bible provides nourishment for our spirit, much like food and water provide physical nourishment. We need to accept the authority of God’s Word; Incorporate the truth of the Bible into our thinking; and Apply it to our lives.

    (I borrowed from William Richard Ezell’s sermon published in The Preacher’s Magazine—using his outline and some of his ideas. But I also included enough new material that I thought it worthwhile to post. I don’t have footnote material on the magazine. If anyone has it, please email it to me, and ...read more

    This is first of a series on discerning the will of God and looks at how we should handle "words for God" that we or others think come from the Lord. It helps us determin what is of God, our self, or the enemy to deceive us.

    For many people, this is a Time for Reflection: People think of the Good Times & the Bad Times of the Past Year. Many Focus on the New Year and Hope for Things to be Different in their Lives with the Future Year. Of Course, Many People Make Resolution

    Mary And Joseph And The Case For Marriage

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 3, 2003
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,372 views

    THis message will help us to think critically about marriage- why marriage is to be between one woman and one man, for a lifetime. As society’s definitions change, the Christian idea of marriage needs to be more definite than ever.

    “Mary and Joseph and the Case for Marriage” Matthew 1:18-25 One of my favorite radio programs, when I get the chance to listen to it, is the Prairie Home Companion, In one episode Garrison Keillor tells the fanciful tale of John Tollefson. John leaves Minnesota, moves to New ...read more

    How Am I Doing?

    based on 148 ratings
     | 8,901 views

    Looks at 6 specific things that Paul prays and examines them one at a time. Now as we look at each one of these, I want you to be thinking, “How am I personally doing in each of these areas?”

    One of the main jobs of a pastor is to pray for his congregation. Acts 6:1-4 6:1 In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. 2 So the Twelve ...read more

    The Virtue Of Kindeness (6 Of 10) Series

    Contributed by Jeff Armbrester on Apr 1, 2003
    based on 61 ratings
     | 4,410 views

    Kindness is not an attitude or emotion. We do no think of people as being kind simply because they do not hurt anybody. We regard people as being kind if they go out of their way, with no public recognition, to perform deeds of kindness.

    Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 13,402 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more
