    Parables for Christian Living, Pt. 3

    The New Testament clearly demonstrates that there is one and only one Church that was founded by the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I want to talk to you tonight about the Church. However, before I get into that, I want to share a little bit about where I come from. I was born and raised in the United Methodist Church. I’ve spent some time kneeling with Baptists. I’ve played guitar with the Pentecostals. I’ve preached in ...read more

    It is incredible how that God can take a seeming disadvantage and turn it into an advantage for His glory.

    Philippians 1:12-14 -- “But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;” “So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;” “And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing ...read more

    Since individuals are the church at its most basic level; how are we supposed to live?

    The Molecular Church In 1665, the English physicist Robert Hooke looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed it was made up of individual parts. He realized that cork was made up of smaller sections he called cells because they looked like the cells that monks lived in. That ...read more

  • The Forgiveness Of Sins Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Nov 3, 2004
    based on 15 ratings

    This sermon explores one part of how God removes the barrier of sin, brings us into fellowship with himself, and grants us eternal life. This teaching is summed up in the Apostles’ Creed in which we affirm our belief in "the forgiveness of sins."

    Introduction As we continue our series in The Apostles’ Creed I would like to examine today what it means to believe in the forgiveness of sins. Please listen as I recite the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only ...read more

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 11,793 views

    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    Saul continues to disobey God, this time by resorting to witchcraft. But God never abandons his people. He has a king prepared who’s a man after his own heart, who’ll restore the fortunes of Israel: David, the shepherd boy, who’s become a great warrior th

    What we find as we read through the books of 1&2 Samuel is a mix of battle narratives and character studies. The action sequences are important because they show how the nation of Israel emerges as a force to be reckoned with, but often it’s in the character studies that we find the points of ...read more

    Last in my Baptism series. This sermon serves as a reminder of our baptisms.

    I love the story about the older couple that had trouble remembering common, day-to-day things. They both decided that they would write down requests the other had, and so try to avoid forgetting. One evening the wife asked if the husband would like anything. He replied, “Yes. I’d like a large ...read more

    January 2, 2004 Isaiah 61:10-11 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God.
