    One True Leader Over Life Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jun 10, 2009

     | 3,318 views

    What lies within us is more of an ambivalence towards leadership… we actually long for that which can organize life… that which can set forth what is right… and HEROES who reveal something of a better way.

    One True Leader Over Life Series: The Liberated Life (Colossians) Brad Bailey – May 3, 2009 (NOTE: The following includes some sections in which a name precedes a section of thought. These were drawn from others and I have included their names to give credit. They were not quoted but rather ...read more

     | 4,885 views

    7 of 7. Paul admonished the Corinthian church because they had allowed/accommodated heinous sin in their midst. The church must not tolerate/accommodate sin in their midst. But How are they to act against such? Sin Accommodating Churches skirt...

    “A Christmas Carol” is a beautiful story for the Advent season because it is a tale in which the past, the present, and the future all come together in one transformative night

    Bah! Humbug! These words … and the person who spoke them are so iconoclastic … so famous and well-known … I’ll bet that every one of you can tell me who said them.

    The Cost Of Abandoning Christ Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,095 views

    Life is often a matter of focus? As we follow Christ, we can focus on the struggles and persecution we might endure. Or we can focus on the benefits, eternal and glorious, of continuing to follow Christ. Hebrews 2 encourages us to do the latter.

    The Cost of Abandoning Christ Hebrews 2:5-14 A few years ago we had what we called a water bottle outreach at Lazy 5 Recreational Area. It was during one of the music festivals they used to have there, before Covid, on weekday summer evenings. We would hand out water bottles and invitations to ...read more

    Trust is easy in the easy times. Tragedy is when you find out if you truly trust.

    I was asked how you have trust or faith after tragedy and an hour or so later Pastor Mike asked me to speak tonight. I took that as my cue to speak on that topic. I have been through a few tragedies in my life and never thought of myself as a trauma survivor until I was trained to ...read more

    Don’t give yourself to sexual immorality. Instead, give yourself to God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit.

    A little girl was talking to her grandmother. She asked, “Grandma, how old are you?” The grandmother replied, “Now dear, you shouldn’t ask people that question. Most grown-ups don’t like to tell their age.” The following day, the girl had another question. “Grandma, how much do you ...read more

    We all have had the similar experience of having our taste buds seduced by a delicious meal.

    But the moment we took one bite of that delicious food that looked so good, we immediately knew that one of the main ingredient that would have made this dish taste good, such as salt or pepper, was missing. There are some ingredients that can be omitted and it will ruin the whole dish. There ...read more

    This is a single verse sermon with three points and proposition. It isn’t a manuscript but is more than a simple outline. The sermon is about leaving the weariness of dead religion to enter into a living relationship with God.

    Text - Matt 11:28 Introduction A strong young athlete was wadding waist deep in the shallow part of a recreational lake. Unknowingly he stepped off an underwater ledge and plunged fifteen feet beneath the surface of the water. After several seconds he bobbed to the top of the water flailing ...read more

     | 40,397 views

    God wants to mold our lives, if we will let Him, and make us into beautiful creations.

    It’s kinda humorous that I’m going to attempt to talk about pottery. I’m not the artsy, craftsy type. However, that’s the image that Jeremiah uses and it’s a beautiful one. In preparing for this sermon, I read that before it is glazed and fired, the potter may reshape and redo the pottery, if it ...read more

    In many ways, we have been the youngest son, the father and the eldest son as depicted in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

    Today, we celebrate the well-loved parabled called the Prodigal Son. I want us to think of it from perhaps a little different perspective. I want us to think about how each one of us, in many ways, has been the youngest son, the father, and the eldest son. Especially as we are in the season of ...read more

    Christian unity is not based upon agreeing with one another or having the same doctrinal beliefs. Nor is it compromising your beliefs for the sake of unity.

    Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior made us a member of His family, the Body of Christ, and we also became His bride. We were grafted into the vine, the bloodline of Jesus. This made us into an instant blood relative to every Christian throughout time, co-equal with every believer as a brother ...read more
