    Nothing Of Significance

    Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 23, 2002
    based on 61 ratings
     | 1,782 views

    Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

    The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

    A Tale Of The Unexpected !

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 10, 2006

     | 3,798 views

    John was shocked when the sinless Jesus asked to be baptised. Jesus identifies with us in his baptism. We identify with him when we are baptised and we too can receive God’s Spirit! Truly this is a tale of the unexpected.

    The Baptism of Jesus must surely qualify as a ‘Tale of the Unexpected’! Have you ever been somewhere or seen something which was the exact opposite of what you were expecting? Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more

    Narnia: Jesus (Aslan) The Creator And The Saviour!

    based on 3 ratings

    This sermon aims at seekers, using quotes from ’The Magicians Nephew’ and ’The Last Battle’. The world was created through Jesus and he has prepared a place in heaven for all believers! So, let’s become like little children!

    [This sermon was preached in December 2005 at a Carol Service in partnership with ’Naomi House’, a local hospital providing respite care for terminally ill children and their families. Many people in the congregation are not / were not Christians and this message was especially aimed at them. ...read more

    When we see who Christ is and know him, then we will see and know ourselves for who we are and who we can be.

    JULY 2005 IDENTITY CRISIS Text: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4/3:18 2 Co 4:3-4 v.3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: v.4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image ...read more

    The Midnight Death Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 5, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,200 views

    God’s method for developing His Kingdom often runs contrary to society’s views; He loves to exalt the humble and humble the proud, as in the case of Israel’s formation.

    The Midnight Death (Exodus 12:29-50) 1. A lot of people think they are self-acclaimed experts. Take this health food advice: Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it... don’t waste them on exercise. ...read more

    Isaiah tells us that the Messiah’s coming is going to bring about great change. But some of it hasn’t happened yet. What are we to make of a prophecy that hasn’t come true?

    -When I was at seminary in St. Louis, we had to do several practicums in different areas of ministry. They were first come – first served but I was very blessed in the areas I had the opportunity to learn and grow. I did a cross-cultural module with Apple of His Eye Mission Society. I found out ...read more

    A Sermon for the 2nd Sunday of Advent-Year A.

    “In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’” -Matthew 3:1-2 There always seems to be “the hottest gift item of the year” to buy each year.

    Seeker sermon designed to get an unconvinced person curious about investigating Christ. We wrote a drama that goes along with this. If your interested in the accompanying drama, send me an email.

    John 1:43-51 “Come & See – Check Jesus Out” 43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee.

    The Shepherds Meet The Good Shepherd Series

    Since mankind is made up mostly of common people, common shepherds were the first visitors to welcome the Savior of mankind.

    The Shepherds Meet the Good Shepherd (Luke 2:7-18) 1. Remember the commercials a few years ago that said, "Got Milk?" We Vasiceks are into dairy. We use lots of lowfat cottage cheese, yogurt, and obviously milk. 2. Wisconsin is "the Dairy State," although California is advertising. The land of ...read more

    Easter Makes A Difference

     | 6,430 views

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh. Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    Christmas Eve: Good News In The 'hustle And Bustle' And In The Ordinary!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,882 views

    Jesus is Good News for you in the ’hustle and bustle’ of life and preparations for Christmas. He is also Good News for people going about their ordinary everyday business, like he was for the shepherds.

    A man named Charles Tucker decided recently that with all the ‘hustle and bustle’, it would be good to remember why Christmas is a good idea. He said that without Christmas… • The ‘dried’ fruit market would completely collapse • Boring, uneventful lives would have no stress at all • Santa would be ...read more

    This vision points us to the destructive power of the Word when people reject it.

    WHAT DOES THE VISION MEAN? 1. God’s Word is not hidden and is seeking you out. - Zechariah 5:1-2. - Let’s begin with the vision statement in v. 2 and its three pieces. a. “Scroll.” - This obviously points us to God’s Word.
