  • Fulfilling Our Ministry Call

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2024
     | 297 views

    Jesus knew that God’s plan for Him and His human parents was to grow in wisdom and grace, and to be obedient to them as He was to His heavenly Father.

    Saturday of the 9th week in Course 2024 There are only a few precious stories in Scripture about the childhood of Christ, mostly like this one in Luke’s Gospel. We know that Joseph and his family were devout Jews, even going up annually to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. It’s important to know how ...read more

  • When The Church Fails Series

    Contributed by Timothy Peck on Mar 12, 2003
    based on 76 ratings
     | 9,182 views

    Our failures in the Christian community remind us of our need for total and complete dependance on Jesus.

    Like you, I’ve been watching the terrible scandal surrounding the abuse of children by priests in the Roman Catholic church. And the worst part of the scandal isn’t the abuse of children, as horrible as that is. The worst part has the cover up, that rather than stepping in and removing sexual ...read more

  • The Lion Of God Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 19, 2014
    based on 28 ratings
     | 51,513 views

    Quick question: Who was Othniel? Give up? Most people would. He's not all that memorable to most believers... but he was to God. God chose him to be the very first judge of Israel. But why him, and why should we care?

    OPEN: “Muhammad Ali” was probably one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in the sport's history. Not only was he a skilled boxer, he was very good at self-promotion, and he’d use clever pieces of short poetry to catch the imagination of his audience. For example, before his fight ...read more

  • The Lord Is With You

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015
    based on 14 ratings
     | 27,163 views

    In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

    OPENING: When I asked you to turn to I Peter 3:13 this morning, did you realize that about 800 years ago… you couldn’t have done that? Do you know WHY you couldn’t have turned to I Peter 3 back then? Because there were no chapter divisions. That didn’t happen until 1227, ...read more

  • Is Al Qaeda Following Muhammad And Allah? Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 16, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,301 views

    It has gotten to the point that the terms “terrorism” and “Islam” may be viewed as synonymous because of the actions of al Qaeda. Are they interpreting the Qur'an correctly?

    The media has portrayed a telling picture of the perpetrators of 9/11: a picture of violence and hatred toward America. They have been portrayed as “the main enemy of the West and […] as a hotbed of terrorism that threatens Western civilization and its democratic values” (Khan n. ...read more

  • What About Peter? Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,138 views

    This is a controversial but hopefully delicate sermon about Jesus’ appearance to Peter, and about how some things just aren’t our business to know.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-8 – What About Peter? Tonight we are going to start off by reading our scripture, a very early creed of the church. It was like an Apostle’s Creed, a few brief but clear lines of doctrine about what the early believers actually believed. Let’s read 1 Corinthians 15:1-8. ...read more

  • Be A Matthew

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 25, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,008 views

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more

  • What Is Jesus Doing In Your Life Today?

    Contributed by Stephen Becker on Apr 5, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,145 views

    Jesus impacted millions of people 2,000 years ago. But what about the billions of people alive today? The Jesus of history is the Christ of faith. A look at what the LIVING AND RESURRECTED Jesus is doing for us today...

    What Is Jesus Doing In Your Life Today? Luke 24:13-35 By Stephen H. Becker, M.Div. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church—Elk Grove Sunday, April 6th, 2008; 3rd Sunday of Easter Evening Contemporary Services Do you know the greatest recorded event in human history?

  • A Godly Mother’s Dream

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014
     | 5,380 views

    What would be a Godly mother’s dream for her family / kids? 1. God’s will. 2. Know and love the Lord. 3. Be people of integrity. 4. Learn from their failures. 5. Live beyond themselves. 6. Pass their faith on.

    A Godly Mother’s Dream There are some great portraits of motherhood in Scripture. I love the picture of the mother of Moses who cared so much for her son that she broke the law in order to teach him the faith of his people. We see the sacrificial love of the mother who appeared before ...read more

    The story of Ezra is presented as an encouragement for us to study God’s word, practice God’s will and teach God’s law.

    THE HAND OF GOD WAS UPON HIM Ezra Introduction: Ezra was a contemporary of Nehemiah. In about 457 B.C. Ezra led a group of Jews from captivity back to Jerusalem. The purpose of his journey was to restore the worship of God in the temple. Ezra was a scribe (scholar). He was one of the first ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,928 views

    Many people have misconceptions about the trustworthiness and relevance of the Bible. Evidence for the Bible’s veracity is abundant.

    Why> Series # 3 Why Should I Trust the Bible? Matthew 7:24-27 INTRODUCTION: I want to thank Steve and Janet for helping us to focus on our topic for today.

  • Ouch! That Hurts!

    based on 55 ratings
     | 11,850 views

    This sermon deals with Paul’s thorn in the flesh. We all have our thorn in the flesh. How will we react to the pain?

    OUCH! THAT HURTS! 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

  • It's Your Finish That Counts

    Contributed by Sherman Gordon on Jun 4, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 6,801 views

    IN LIFE, IT’S GREAT IF YOU CAN START OUT WELL, BUT WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS YOUR FINISH. DON’T LET THE RAPID RISE/SUCCESS OF OTHERS HINDER YOU FROM ACHIEVING YOUR DREAM. LET THE APOSTLE PAUL SERVE AS A GUIDE.

    IT’S YOUR FINISH THAT COUNTS II TIMOTHY 4:6-8 ECCLESIATES 9:11 – RACE – SWIFT, BATTLE – MIGHTY . . . ECCLESIATES 7:8 “BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF.” WONDERFUL, IF YOU CAN START OUT FINE, BUT WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS HOW YOU FINISH. GOLF – DRIVE, BUT IT’S NOT YOUR START ...read more

  • God Knows The Future

    Contributed by Mark Hiehle on Jul 24, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,341 views

    When events or circumstances in our lives seem to be out of control, it is sometimes easy to wonder if God’s plan is really unfolding according to design. From the pages of Scripture, however, we are assured that God does know the future intimately. He e

    With all that is happening in the world today, concern for the future is everywhere. There is speculation, anxiety, and uncertainty. The political realm is constantly changing, markets are always fluctuating, and our personal lives are affected by it all. When events or circumstances in our lives ...read more
