  • The Worse Homecoming Ever

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,689 views

    A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

    Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

     | 5,681 views

    With all the horror stories played out at Halloween, the scariest story of all is found in the Bible.

    Did you enjoy the music that was playing when you came in? Were you looking over your shoulders for Jason or Michael Myers? Was Freddy Krugger stalking you? All of these of course were characters from famous horror films. We love to be frightened. Last week we went to Scarowinds on Friday night. ...read more

    A message of encouragement to small churches and their pastors.

    While I was cleaning up the building Monday morning the Holy Spirit and I had a nice conversation. If you have never talked with the Holy Spirit I highly recommend it. Jesus sent him when He left to comfort us, to teach us, and to remind us of what we have been taught. We talk to God a lot. We talk ...read more

  • The Half-Time Speech

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 20, 2014
     | 6,056 views

    Just as the disciples felt they were winning the game, the second half came and they lost badly. Or so they thought.

    Half-time speeches are meant to motivate. My son Shane forever complains that the Panthers should make “adjustments” at half-time. So half-time is when things happen to win games. Today we are looking at Jesus half-time speech. Jesus and his “Fantastic Twelve” have been on ...read more

    We are commanded to bear fruit but if we do not give our fruit away it will only rot.

    Have you ever visited a vineyard? We often go to the vineyard in Vale. It is the Woodmill winery. As you drive into their location you are surrounded by acres of grape vines. If you go during the peak season they hanging full of clusters of grapes. I thought it would be fun to perhaps plant some ...read more

  • The Ark Within

     | 8,590 views

    Since we are the Temple of God, we now have the Ark of the Covenant residing inside of us. However, as we learn from King David, we must handle it properly.

    Today we will briefly study the life of a man that the Apostle Paul said God declared to be “a man after my own heart.” (Acts 13:22) This man is King David. We first meet David in 1 Samuel 16. The prophet Samuel is sent by God to the household of a man named Jesse. There, he is to ...read more

  • Um-Um-Good.

     | 8,505 views

    There is nothing bitter, sour, or too salty about God's Word. It is sweet as honey. Taste it for yourself.

    I love food. I love to eat. I just love the taste of food. But I have a problem. I do not listen to my fullness alert. My love for the taste of food outweighs my desire just to eat enough. If I am not careful, it can become an addiction, leading to being overweight and health problems. I am still ...read more

    Like a splinter barely under our skin, circumstances can be painful. But how can we tell if it's just life or God?

    Have you ever got a splinter in your finger or your foot? It sticks out just enough to be irritating but not far enough to pull it out. Every time you brush against something, it sends pain through out your body. I know when this happens to me I try to ignore it. I hope against hope that some how ...read more

    We are deceived by people, spirits, and Satan. But that is not where the greatest deception comes from.

    I went to Wal-Mart this week to but some groceries. As I was getting out of my car and elderly lady approached me. Some of you may know I have magnets on my car door advertising our church. She asked me if I was the pastor. I told her I was. We were both heading into the store so we ...read more

     | 5,670 views

    Jesus did not pray for us to have worldly joy but rather to have his joy. What does his joy look like and what can destroy it?

    We are now four weeks past Palm Sunday and three weeks past Easter. However, today I want us to go back to the last night Jesus had with the disciples. He washes their feet to teach them humility and servant hood. He begins to reveal to them the fact that He must die. He gives them the promise of ...read more

    Today I want to tell you a story from the Bible. It is the story of two brothers, twins in fact. One was named Esau. The other was named Jacob. Esau was born first with Jacob holding onto his heel as if trying to stop his brother from being the first born. Because of their culture Esau would get a ...read more

     | 3,938 views

    Jesus promised the world would hate us. The reason is beacause we are holy. How can we achieve the holiness the world hates?

    Last week our topic was on the Jesus Joy. We discovered that on the last night before his arrest Jesus prayed for us. John 17:20 “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message.” He prayed that we would be filled with his ...read more
