    Jesus And Santa

    Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021
     | 1,829 views

    What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

    While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

    But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. - James 3:17 When we think of having the Holy Spirit of God we think sometimes immediately of ..

    Sharing The Glory (January 2016)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,730 views

    When you think of the disciples who do you think of first? Some would say Peter. Others might some of the names of the other disciples. How many would say Andrew? Did Andrew live in the shadow of his brother Peter?

    SHARING THE GLORY Text: John 1:40-42 As someone has said, “God did not save you to be a sensation; He saved you to be a servant”. (James S. Hewett. ed. Illustrations Unlimited. Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers,1988, p, 452). A sensation leaves an impression, ...read more

    The Birth Of A Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,201 views

    I don’t know what you think of when you think of evangelism, but evangelism is reason powered by the Holy Spirit. Paul would consistently use the persuasive powers of reason as he talked to people about becoming a follower of Jesus Christ.

    We begin a new series today. Our church celebrates its 125th year anniversary. We have some things planned for later this year. We also begin a new book: 1 Corinthians. Many of you may think it odd to begin journey of a book of the Bible and then focus on Acts. Yet, Luke tells us the beginnings of ...read more

    A Demand For Holiness - A Holiness Expressed In Genuine Love Responding To The Gospel

    Contributed by Robert Tarasiak on Sep 9, 2023
     | 980 views

    "Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities; it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills." John Brown, Nineteenth-century Scottish theologian, quoted in J. Bridges, The Pursuit of Holiness, p. 51.

    1 Peter Series Part 6 Sub Series: A Demand for Holiness (1:13 – 2:3) Title: “A holiness expressed in genuine love responding to the gospel” Text: 1 Peter 1:22-25 INTRO: WHAT DOES HOLINESS LOOK LIKE?

    Aim To Be An Amos, Not An Amaziah

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 27, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,176 views

    This world is filled with Amaziahs. They’re people (including ourselves) who think they can have spirituality without the light of God’s Word.

    If you could be any person from the Bible, who would it be? Would you like to be Adam or Eve barefooting around the Garden of Eden with no fear of stepping on a rusty nail or a thorn? Wouldn’t it be an experience to play with a full-grown lion the way you would a kitten? Both would have been ...read more

    How Do We Overcome Temptation? (Luke, Part 3) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,794 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.

    Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 3,150 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (20 Of 39)

     | 1,614 views

    Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

    Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more

    The Kiss Of Betrayal

     | 28,256 views

    While pretending to kiss Jesus, we may be betraying Him without even thinking about it.

    April 8, 2001 John 13:18-30 “The Kiss of Betrayal” INTRODUCTION What do you think of when I say the word “kiss”? Now, I’m not talking about the rock group by that name, and I’m not using it as an acronym (Keep It Simple Stupid). I’m talking about that thing that two people who are in ...read more

    Can you think of two things more different than a root that is in the ground & a star up in the heavens?

    'christian' Means 'like Christ'

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 18, 2005
    based on 88 ratings
     | 23,018 views

    Too many church goers think they are Christians because they do not know the real definition of the word "Christian".

    We were created by God to worship Him. That is our purpose. God’s plan is for us to worship Him. But, there is something else we are supposed to do, too. We are supposed to be like Christ. If you would take a random poll and ask people in America what they think being a Christian means, most ...read more
