     | 3,986 views

    This sermon cuts to the heart of why people act as they do (even in the church) and how to live as God truly wants us to.

    James 4:1-12 "Whose Friend Are You Anyway?" By Rev. Mark Hiehle When my children were small, I loved sitting with them and teaching them the songs I learned as a child. It was wonderful to sing with them; "Jesus Loves Me, Deep and Wide, Only a Boy Named David, This Little Light of ...read more

    You don’t need to have everything going your way to be happy.

    INTRODUCTION ILLUSTRATION I came across of these lines from a song from the musical “Oklahoma,” -- Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day; I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way. A lot people today tend to regard happiness in that light. “When everything’s going my ...read more

    The Importance Of Christian Unity Series

    Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 32,917 views

    All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

    How important is unity in our individual lives? How important is unity in our church? Jesus had a lot to say about the importance of unity. If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more

    How Jesus Ministered To The Self-Righteous

     | 3,751 views

    Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to relate to people who project a sense of moral superiority? Self righteous people focus more on their goodness than the holiness of God.

    Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to relate to people who project a sense of moral superiority? Self righteous people focus more on their goodness than the holiness of God.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,616 views

    A sermon that teaches to not be frightened by the waves around you but to look at the savior. Too many times we are preoccupied with those things around us and we end up knee deep in turmoil.

    Time to get out of the Boat Text: Matthew 14:29-33 (MSG) 29 He said, "Come ahead. " Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. 30 But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, "Master, save me!" 31 Jesus ...read more

    Putting Things Before God

     | 2,036 views

    Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

    If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more

    The Double Life Of King Asa

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 5, 2025
     | 453 views

    Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age. Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations.

    While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of it is for us today. For example, we are to learn from the examples of the lives of the characters in the Old Testament. Paul said in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were ...read more
