    Understanding the Love that God has for us at Christmas

    The story of the candy cane • A Candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that could be used as a witnessing tool, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. • He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus. • He began with stick of pure white, hard candy. • White to ...read more

    Nehemiah, Pt. 1

    IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK: FROM ABSENCE TO AWAKENING (NEHEMIAH 1) William J. Bennett’s “The Book of Virtues” tells of how England’s King Richard III lost his kingdom in the late 15th century.

    "for ye have not passed this way heretofore." Joshua’s officers were saying to the Israelites, "You’re about to take a journey to where you’ve never been before. You’re about to go down a road that is new to you.

    STRANGE TERRITORY Joshua 3:1-4 The phrase ". . . for ye have not passed this way heretofore," always comes to mind at the beginning of a new year. 2007 is in the books. It is done, over, gone for ever. The only thing left to do is to look forward to 2008 and hopefully anticipate the ...read more

    Pray And Believe! Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Sep 7, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,840 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    God makes us humble to exalt us like Jesus.

    Scripture Introduction Three weeks ago, we explored in 1Peter 5 the heart of the job description of church elders. They are “shepherds,” looking out and caring for us through love, prayer, compassion and concern. We also learned they are “overseers,” a work which must be done without domineering, ...read more

    The Name We Claim Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,155 views

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?

    Sometimes, we get suckered in by the idea that identity and relationship are not important. We buy into Shakespeare’s rhetorical question and answer from Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet: What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We ...read more

    It hurts when we lose someone we love, and it hurts because we love them. Love and pain are never far from each other. You can’t have one without the other.

    Q: Why did the Palestinian cross the road? A: We don’t know either, but if he wont’ tell us what he was doing, crossing a road without a permit, we will detain him until we find out! I was looking for a joke with a jarring ending to introduce what I consider to be a particularly jarring Gospel ...read more

    Thanksgiving sermon based on Psalm 100

    Have you ever seen a young child clap her hands? We have several young children at Patterson Avenue Baptist Church – and they clap their hands for almost anything. Place them in the company of other children and they will clap their hands. Give them some food and their will clap there hands. ...read more

    God Our Great And Faithful Provider Series

     | 18,997 views

    God is your great and faithful provider whether you are someone important or even a nondescript widow.

    One of the great themes found over & over in the Bible is that regardless of the times in which people lived & the problems they faced there was no problem or need which God could not meet if they simply trusted & obeyed Him. I call to your attention the key verse from last week’s story in which ...read more

    Faith and works - Paul and James which is right? BOTH

    Show me your evidence James 2:14-26 I believe that mothers are probably the best detectives in the world. I know that they are not recognized as such, probably because their list of suspects is so small or that the crimes or events seem to be of little consequence. But how many other people ...read more

    By What Authority?

    Jesus expressed His authority as the Son of God most fully in the gift of repentance; the offer of salvation by faith.

    “By What Authority?” Matthew 21:23-32 Introduction A young second lieutenant at Fort Bragg discovered that he had no change when he was about to buy a soft drink from a vending machine. He flagged down a passing private and asked him, “Do you have change for a dollar?” The private said cheerfully, ...read more

    Let's Turn The World Over To Mothers

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,679 views

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more

    Some churches want entertainment, some want not to disturb anyone. But a Great Commission church will be interested in teaching everyone to obey everything commanded.

    Funeral services always challenge me. It is always a high and solemn duty to speak a word from God to those who gather to remember someone’s life. I can hardly say that I enjoy funerals; they are a lot of work. But I can certainly say that I find them a challenge, I find them occasions that demand ...read more

    How To Burn On Without Burn Out

    Contributed by Dave Browning on Dec 22, 2008
     | 5,031 views

    This sermon addresses burnout in the ministry and how the Christian should maintain a balance of work, worship and rest.

    If you brought your Bible with you I would like to invite you to turn with me to Matthew 6:25-34, where Jesus gives us a very helpful perspective on life. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more ...read more

    Can I Get A Lift?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 6, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,159 views

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more
