    Am I qualified? Who could have foreseen lowly fishermen of Galilee had the potential to become fearless apostles, or that simple peasants could leave their net behind to become founders of the church?

    A Letter from Jesus to the Church called Mainline: "You know me; I love to make the oldline new. If you will stick with me, I shall give you a future, new wineskins, and all that. I am Lord of Life, not death. I shall move you from cynical decline to life. I still have plans for you. You’ll be ...read more

    God’s Messiah gives abundant life to all who accept him as he is offered in the Gospel.

    Scripture Introduction A thermostat and a thermometer both relate to temperature. But they differ: a thermostat senses heat and starts the air conditioner. A thermometer only reports the heat.

    Satan's War Against God's Creaton Ii Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,965 views

    If God’s judgments sound strange to us it’s because we do not fully understand the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man. Man’s purpose for living is to glorify God and every person will ultimately glorify God.

    Revelation 6:3-4; 12:3-4a Purpose: To expose the awfulness of sin. Aim: I want the listener to hate sin and forsake it. INTRODUCTION: At first glance, it seems odd to us that the glorious worship of chapters 4 & 5 is immediately followed by the awful judgments that begin in chapter 6. But, the ...read more

    HOw can parents showe wisdom in the way they raise their children

    We’ve spent 4 weeks reading through Ecclesiastes working out how that sort of wisdom literature fits with the rest of God’s revelation of himself and I hope we discovered that it fits well. But I thought we might round that series off with a short excursion into Proverbs, in particular to think ...read more

    Thank God For Committed Christians

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Aug 20, 2008
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,333 views

    In our text, we see something of what a committed Christian is. 1- They receive the Word of God 2- They imitate other Christians 3- They suffer for Christ

    INTRO.- ILL.- How many electrical engineers does it take to change a light bulb? None. They simply redefine darkness as the industry standard. This sounds similar to many things/jobs in life. Many people don’t know how to do the job they are supposed to do or else they don’t want to do the job ...read more

    The importance of obedience. Your obedience affects God’s plans!

    How many of you actually think out how routine your days can be? I know we joke about how kids change everything and bring new excitement to each day but we still follow the same plans and molds that have been placed before us. You get out of bed at a certain time, get ready, go to work, come home ...read more

    A Green Christmas Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 6, 2009
    based on 65 ratings
     | 20,304 views

    The Green decorations of Christmas speak of the promise of life in a season of barren trees and gloomy skies. The birth of Christ also speaks of that promise.

    OPEN: Someone has developed a personality test based on how you decorate for Christmas: • If you have nothing but multicolored lights on your tree – you’re an extrovert. • If you only use white lights – you’re the type who asks his guests to remove their shoes at the front door. • But if you use ...read more

     | 15,808 views

    Since we’re thinking about Christmas I think we should think about the gifts we’ve been given by God. This is just a simple reminder of how blessed we are.

    INTRO.- ILL.- Herb Forst in Cross River, NY, in Reader’s Digest: What not to Buy Your Wife: 1. Don’t buy anything that plugs in. Anything that requires electricity is seen as too practical. 2.

     | 47,051 views

    What does it mean for us to "take up your cross" and deny ourselves. I signed up for the benefits! I didn’t sign up to die.

    OPEN: I recently read the true story about a preacher who was standing at the door shaking hands as the congregation departed. He grabbed one man by the hand and pulled him aside.

    based on 68 ratings
     | 12,332 views

    Galatians 3:16 talks about the fact that Jesus was the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham’s seed? But why did Paul say that and what can it mean to us today?

    OPEN: In my files I have list of some unusual laws: · In Birmingham, Alabama, it is illegal to drive a car while blindfolded. · In Detroit it’s unlawful to tie a crocodile to a fire hydrant. · Natchez, Mississippi has a law that forbids giving an elephant beer to drink. · And if you tie your ...read more
