    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,874 views

    When Sir Winston Churchill was a young man, he attended a preparatory school, and although he was in the lower third of his class, he graduated and went on to the university.

    After a successful military career and after having been elected Prime Minister of England twice, near the end of his life he was invited back to Harrow (the preparatory school) to address the students. His coming was announced, and all the students awaited the arrival of this great orator. The ...read more

    "Be Still And Know…”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 3, 2022
     | 4,621 views

    If you visit some of the public schools today, and walk down the hallways and look into some of the classrooms, you will see some of the students walking around in the class room.

    And those at their desks are laughing and cutting up with each other while the teacher might have one student at his/her desk trying to teach that student something. It seems that school teachers of the past knew some things that the current teachers of today do not know. That is, they knew that ...read more

    School starts this week. I bet as soon as summer started you guys were saying, man I can hardly wait till school starts. Just 3 months away. Am I right? No? I bet some of you might say I would be happy to wait a little longer. Let’s talk about waiting. Patience.

    Zacchaeus: A Sinner In A Sycamore

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Oct 19, 2004
    based on 115 ratings
     | 27,396 views

    The biblical account of Zacchaeus is far more than an exciting tale to be told to children in Sunday School. This wonderful story is packed with theological truth concerning sinners, the Savior, and salvation.

    ZACCHAEUS—A SINNER IN A SYCAMORE Text: Luke 19:1-10 Intro: I could ask almost any child present today to tell me the story of Zacchaeus and receive a pretty detailed account. Perhaps this story is so popular with children because it involves one of their favorite activities—climbing trees. Or ...read more

    Creation V Evolution Series

    Contributed by Clive Pooley on Oct 1, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,094 views

    A common question, frequently asked by people who have been indoctrinated with evolutionary concepts through school, higher education and the media is; ‘Should Christians believe in Evolution?’

    In many nations of the West, the Word of God was once widely respected and taken seriously. It’s still taken seriously in many nations in the southern hemisphere. But once the door of compromise was unlocked and Christian leaders conceded we shouldn’t take the Bible as written in Genesis, it ...read more

    Jesus Feeds The 5000

    Contributed by Daniel Sorensen on Oct 26, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,354 views

    BRIEF sermon (homily) given to a group of sailors recently graduated from boot camp which could be modified to recent graduates from High School or a retreat or confirmation.

    Jesus Feeds the 5000 5000 people, all together in a tight space, all sweaty, and hungry, and tired. Kind of sounds like life on an aircraft carrier. No matter how long we have been in the service, be it 5 weeks or 5 years, we have already experienced crowds of people. Lines in the Galley, ...read more

    John The Baptist: Dramatic Monolog

    Contributed by Dean O'bryan on Jul 12, 2006
    based on 21 ratings
     | 11,713 views

    This is a monolog I wrote for a student at a Christian High School, then later I performed it myself. It incorporates John’s message, first of repentance, then of pointing people to Jesus as the Messiah.

    Introduction (I had someone read this before I came to the platform) It was a dark and discouraging time in Israel. A time of cultural and political unrest. But for men and women who knew God and were sensitive to Him, it was a time for prayer and seeking, a time of hope that He was about to do ...read more

    Christ’s Childhood Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011
     | 6,353 views

    As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

    When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons. If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

    3 Hinderances To God’s Presence (In America) Series

    Contributed by Rev Matthew Cullipher on Jan 17, 2012
    based on 8 ratings
     | 15,235 views

    This is a heartfelt, old school, in your face message of condemnation and hope for the church of Christ in America- a beckoning that we must remove the hinderances before it’s too late!

    THREE HINDERANCES TO GOD’S PRESENCE: Hebrew 9:1-5 CONTENTMENT IS THE GREATEST ENEMY TO TRUE CHRISTIANITY. -I’ve looked around me and noticed a vast trend which has been spoiling myself and various others within the church in America. Instead of pressing in to a greater depth of walk with Christ ...read more

    Lessons from a little boy in Sunday School, the great theologian Thomas Aquinas, the first disciples Andrew and Phillip, and of course members of our own church .. but what about?

    I was sitting in the barbers - you know the one? Just down at Old Field circus. I think it was the second time I had been to that barbers since I moved in, but the first time that particular girl had cut my hair. And we get chatting about the music they are playing in that salon (I think it was ...read more

    700 teeangers at boarding school sit in an evening chapel service that they have not chosen to come to. This Candlemass sermon (with lots of props) seeks to present the Gospel to them

    Are We Taking God Seriously?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 6, 2025
     | 404 views

    How many Christians do not treat their faith in a serious manner or take it for granted? Many get up and go to work or school, but they did not find time to talk to God?

    How many Christians do not treat their faith in a serious manner or take it for granted? Many get up and go to work or school, but they did not find time to talk to God?

    What A World We Live In

    Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Oct 12, 2024
     | 943 views

    In the last 50+ years there has been a constant and constant decline of for God and His Son in the world. It was 1962 that the Supreme Court ruled that prayer was taken out of our schools.

    The world in which we live in is rapidly becoming a Godless mess. I must note that it is going to take Gods direct intervention in the affairs of men, not only in our country but in the world. 1st Remember Where We Were- Eph 2:12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the ...read more

    What if the wrong people end up in charge, in control of our government, your work, your school or whatever organization you are involved with? How will you respond?

    We’re in an election year again. In the midst of the Pandemic, the Democratic National Convention occurred virtually this week and dominated all the major TV networks. As expected, the speakers at the Democratic Convention relentlessly attacked the incumbent president, and true to form, he ...read more
