God Only Knows

Contributed by Daniel J. Little on Dec 1, 2011

A Rubik’s Cube puzzle has only 26 little cube parts but over 43 quintillion ways to arrange them with only one being right. Only God can takes the bits and pieces stored in our minds and make them come so they all work together for our good.

WARNING.... We will look a a few New Testament passages from Peterson’s Message Bible. If you can sit tight through that then you will enjoy what I have to tell you.

Mighty Hero

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 13, 2009

Maybe in your life right now, you are actually in a place that has nothing to do with what you’ve done but you’re in it. Or maybe you are in a situation that has everything to do with you. Maybe you’re in a place where you’re saying ‘I’ve had enough of t

Ashingdon 15 02 2009 Mighty Hero?

The Mustard Seed Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009

Sometimes we feel like we’re outnumbered by people who don’t believe in Jesus. There are times when we’re the only ones who want to do the right thing. But Jesus tells us that his kingdom may look small but in fact it will grow to be like a mighty tree th

A Combined Children’s talk and sermon How big do you think God’s Kingdom is? As big as the Simpson desert or Kakadu? As big as this whole land of Australia?

What Does God Require Of Me Series

Contributed by Steve Smith on Jan 19, 2010

Some have gotten so wrapped up in religion that they have forgotten what is important (even having the right intent). Paul said it best in challenging us to be a “living sacrifice” to God. It’s a matter of the heart – WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?

INTRODUCTION 1. CHURCH PLAN For the last 4 weeks, we have been looking at many of the different parts of church ministry and relating it to the necessary ingredients of becoming not only successful in church but prepared and equipped to live a life outside the church that is available and prepared ...read more

Follow The Leader Series

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Jan 22, 2010

If we are going to play follow the leader in this life, we had better be sure we are following the RIGHT leader, Jesus. Anyone else could and will lead us away from where God would love to have all of us arrive in the end…in His arms. Will you follow Him?

How many of us have played the game, Follow the Leader? It’s a simple game where one person plays the ‘leader’ and all the other participants have to ‘follow’ wherever and whatever the leader does; walk where they walk, walk HOW they walk, or run or crawl or hop. The ...read more

Committed To Christ

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

You're trying to make the right decisions and live out your Christian life, but the more you try, the more difficult life seems to get. Our Christians lives are not always so glorious. Why do we continue? Where do find the glory of a life committed to following Christ?

Have you ever had one of those weeks where things seem to go wrong? You’re trying to do the right thing, make the right decisions, but it just doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. You set aside time for a family dinner, only to have it turn into sibling arguments, someone stomping away ...read more

Contend For The Faith

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 17, 2018

A couple of weeks ago I talked about the command to go and make disciples. Then last Sunday I talked about sharing the right gospel message. Today, I'll be talking about some practical things we can do and what we're up against as we contend for the faith.

CONTEND FOR THE FAITH 1) Contend for the faith. Jude 1:3, "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints." To contend means to put yourself ...read more

The Problem Of If Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 21, 2017

I don’t like “if”. If if requires me to do something in order to get something good, I’d rather depend on the certainty of God’s work. God doesn’t require much-all I have to do is continue in the faith Paul serves. That’s easy, right?

A few days ago we talked about our security in Christ. Our salvation and acceptance before God are secure because it is based on Jesus and His work and sacrifice, not on ours. Here Paul presents the other side of the coin of security. If That’s a conditional word. We’re reconciled to God through ...read more

What Is Your Calling? (Part 3) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016

We also receive our call at just the right time. How often do we rush into something and end up failing because we ran ahead of God? How many times have we decided to go in a different direction because we did not have the patience to wait for him?

Opening Illustration: The struggle I had with my personal calling - • I knew I had a call upon my life since childhood but was running from it because I saw that there was nothing lucrative in it for me or my family … it meant the cross and suffering … I wasn’t ...read more

Contributed by Erik Estep on May 16, 2013

Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see a young man approach Jesus and ask Him the most important question of all time...”What must I do to have eternal life?” That is a GREAT question! There were a lot of things this young man did right.

Materialism Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

When it comes to materialism, has any nation ever surpassed what we are seeing in the United States right now? We define our lives by how much stuff we have, social status by how much money we make, what we own and wear and where we live.

Don't Sell Your Birthright Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 28, 2020

Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!

Some time ago (September 16, 2009), an article in The Washington Post began with these words: “The king folds her own laundry, chauffeurs herself around Washington in a 1992 Honda, and answers her own phone. Her boss's phone, too.” The article was about Peggielene Bartels, a secretary in the ...read more

Giving Is An Act Of Worship

Contributed by John Dixon on Jul 1, 2019

Clara Null of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma told of living in a small town with one bank and three churches. Early one Monday morning, the bank called all three churches with the same request. “Could you bring in Sunday’s collection right away?” We’re out of one-dollar bills.”

Giving Is An Act Of Worship Proverbs 3:5-10 NASB Giving can be a very touchy subject for many people. The reputation of the Church has been damaged by folks who have abused others for their own selfish gain. But the excesses of a few wicked folks do not absolve you from your responsibilities. ...read more
