    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jul 22, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 8,841 views

    10th in long series on Joshua. This speaks of his listening to the Lord’s leadership in all he did. What does it take to hear the voice of the Lord?

    Joshua 5:13-15 – Leadership 101 In his book "Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life", the author Charles Swindoll tells a story about the 19th century agnostic Thomas Huxley. Some of you may know that name – Huxley promoted Darwinism and Humanism as he attacked the Christian faith. Now, Huxley ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 18,050 views

    11th in long series on Joshua. This speaks of conquering our own obstacles (like Jericho), even though sometimes God’s commands seem foolish or wasteful.

    Joshua 6:1-27 – Overcoming Obstacles There is a story told of ancient times. Once upon a time, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked ...read more

    The Tapes Of Our Lives

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jul 22, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,169 views

    A topical Bible study on how the lives of believers will (or will not) be judged.

    This was a Bible study borne from a question the previous week. I had been taught that in heaven, "tapes" or replays of our entire lives would be seen "on a big screen", for everyone to watch. Apparently this was a new theology to my small but attentive audience, and they called me on it. So I did ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,031 views

    12th in long series on Joshua. This deals with sin in a believer’s life, which will cost him spiritual victory.

    Joshua 7:1-26 – Here Comes Trouble Today we continue our journey through Joshua. The whole book is about taking new territory. As Christians, God leads us on a journey, a walk into new places. Some people never get out and stretch their spiritual legs. They are still the same people as they ...read more

    You Can't Handle The Truth Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jul 29, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,930 views

    13th in long series on Joshua. This sermon speaks about Achan’s sin, and the relevance of truth telling. Ties together Prov.23:23 (the cost of the truth, and the value of it) and Eph.4:15 (doing it in love) as well.

    Joshua 7:19-20 – You Can’t Handle the Truth Max Lucado, in his book Just Like Jesus, tells this story. A man received a call from his wife just as she was about to fly home from Europe. "How’s my cat?" she asked. "Dead." "Oh, honey, don’t be so honest. Why didn’t you break the news to ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 5,130 views

    14th in long series on Joshua. This sermon deals with tithing, the NT standard for tithing, and greed.

    Joshua 7:1,11,15,19-26 – Can’t Get Enough A notorious miser was called on by the chairman of the community charity. “Sir,” said the fund-raiser, “our records show that despite your wealth, you’ve never once given to our drive.” “Do your records show that I have an elderly mother who was ...read more

    Sometimes Our Obedience Hurts Others Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 4, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,774 views

    5th in long series on Joshua. After doing a recap of the events so far, this shows the little-spoken truth: Sometimes, in order for us to obey God, we must hurt other people.

    Joshua 3:1-17 – Sometimes Our Obedience Hurts Others It was testimony night in the church. A lady got up and said, "We are living in a wicked land where sin is on every hand. I have had a terrible fight with the old devil all week." Then, her husband, who was sitting glumly by her side ...read more

    based on 35 ratings
     | 10,216 views

    15th in long series on Joshua. This speaks of gaining victory over Ai, after losing to them the first time around. How do we regain spiritual victory after failure in our lives? Topical/expository.

    Joshua 8:1-29 – Rematch James Abram Garfield was born November 19, 1831, in a log cabin in the back woods of Ohio. His father died at the age of 2. Young James somehow earned enough money to go to college. He graduated from college in 1856, and he became a professor and president of Hiram ...read more

    To Be Loved Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 6, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,649 views

    #11 (and final) in my Romans 8 - What a Way to Live! series. It first summarizes the rest of the chapter, and uses extended allegory of the Trojan war to describe inseparable love.

    Romans 8:38-39 – To Be Loved (NOTE: to get the full effect of the Trojan War illustration, you may want to research this more than I have written. Watching "Troy" is a help, too.) Well, we’ve made it. We spent all fall studying Romans 8, and I must admit, I’m ready for a change. Perhaps you ...read more

    The Good Old Days? Oh Please!

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 12, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 12,304 views

    Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.

    Ecclesiastes 7:10 – The Good Old Days? Oh Please! Tonight, instead of looking at a major topic in Ecclesiastes, I am going to look at one verse. It’s a verse that speaks to all of us, no matter how old we are. 7:10. This verse is funny because it so much speaks to who we are, and what we ...read more

     | 13,118 views

    16th in series on Joshua. This talks about compromise, and avoiding it by listening to God’s voice.

    Joshua 9:1-26 – Making Deals with the Devil A New York family bought a ranch out West where they intended to raise cattle. Friends visited and asked if the ranch had a name. “Well,” said the would-be cattleman, “I wanted to name it the Bar-J. My wife favored Suzy-Q, one son liked the ...read more

    Who Is The Body...

    Contributed by Bob Cook on Aug 15, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,249 views

    A sermon written for a youth service encouraging young people as well as adults to get involved in ministry.

    Who is the church? I am!! You are!! We are!! The church is the body of Christ. WHO IS THE BODY OF CHRIST? • Your personal spiritual growth depends on your being in the body of Christ. o There should be no “Lone Ranger” Christians in God’s family. o Becoming a follower of Jesus Christ is an act of ...read more

    Being A Worship Leader

    Contributed by Bob Cook on Aug 15, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,857 views

    This is a message written to believers about what worship really is. It is not an event but a lifestyle.

    Being a Worship Leader • Last week Pastor Scott spoke about giving thanks and how not to be swayed by circumstances. • A direct result of being grateful or thankful is an attitude of adoration, love, or reverence. • These are all synonyms for worship. • I am not going to tell you how to ...read more

    Giving It Over Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 27, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 7,836 views

    17th in long series on Joshua. This gets into prayer, and giving our burdens to God. Close tie-in with 1 Peter 5:7.

    Joshua 10:1-15 – Giving It Over I found a little poem by an anonymous author that sounds so familiar, it’s as if I could have written it. It says: “Lord, I’m so discouraged, I don’t know what to do; I have so many burdens, And I gave them all to you. But you didn’t take them, Jesus, will you ...read more

    A Change Will Do You Good

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 30, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,486 views

    This talks about the need for change in the church. Jesus saves, but the church sure doesn’t. Can we change our lives without embracing heresy?

    Ecclesiastes 10:10 – A Change Will Do You Good (NOTE: Most of my thinking for this flows from Brian MacLaren’s book "A New Kind of Christian". Some of this was really quite hard to say. Use with caution.) Pastor Rodney Buchanan shares a thought with us: We used to sing a song entitled, “Give ...read more
