    He Still Came Part 3

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,658 views

    Jesus coming was told about in the Old Testament prophets and fulfilled as recorded in the New Testament gospels. God keeps a record of our lives too.

    Today Jenny and I celebrate our 34th anniversary! Yesterday, we were reminiscing and thinking about how God has blessed us through these years. I could never have imagined having such a wonderful life with three children and now ten, going on eleven grandchildren. But I believe that God knew it ...read more

    For a mother to see her child come to the saving knowledge of the Lord has to be a special treasure just as Mary treasured the truth of who Jesus was.

    Mother’s Day 2016 Luke 2:41-52 When my daughter was a little girl she used to want me to read to her at every opportunity. One of her favorite little books was called “Are you My Mother”? Some of you may own a copy of this charming little book by Philip Dey Eastman. Source: ...read more

    There are men of the Lord who serve in the game of football, men who grasp truths we can learn from as we endeavor to reach the lost for Christ and encourage the Body of Christ.

    Biblical Truths from the Football Career Introduction: We are in the midst's of football season. Much of the world is captivated by the game, they long for game after game until we finally reach the Super Bowl. Proposition: I would propose to you that there are men of the Lord who ...read more

    Simon Peter felt like a failure. On the last night of Jesus’ life on earth, Peter made an impossible commitment: “I will never run away and leave you.” But only hours later, Peter shouted, “I told you, I don’t even know him. Leave me alone!” Now, Christ h

    In silence we can listen to God and must if we are to experience a life-changing epiphany.

    Epiphany 2010 The O-my-God Moment January 10, 2010 I’m not a big fan of reality TV. I don’t really know who Simon Cowell is and generally think that the Oprahization of entertainment has been a move in the wrong direction. But I do catch a couple of moments each week of that show ...read more

    Up And Down The Ladder

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,373 views

    To be a real success in life, we need to climb down the ladder of success, just as Jesus did when He humbled Himself. (this sermon uses a ladder on the stage)

    Up and Down the Ladder Philippians 2:1-11 January 20, 2013 (this sermon uses a ladder on stage. This is not an original idea, but I can't recall where I heard of this.) We’re always trying to get ahead. There's always a ladder to climb (get ladder) and the higher up the ladder we go, the ...read more

    Living An Impactful Life

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 4, 2016
     | 16,252 views

    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

    Rewards That Keep On Giving! Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 7, 2018
     | 6,267 views

    Some of our rewards are represented by crowns. Whether victors’ garlands or signs of authority — or both— they merit further examination.

    Rewards That Keep on Giving! (see note at bottom of page first to suggest that diadems are a sub-category of the broader word garland, which includes but is not limited to a victor's wreath but can be used of royal privilege as well). 1. “More than 40,000 people have claimed 078-05-1120 as their ...read more

    Childlike Faith

    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,889 views

    Jesus calls us to become like a little child if we ever hope to enter the kingdom of God. We must have faith like a little child, become dependent like a little child, and receive the kingdom as a gift of God.

    Childlike Faith Mark 10:13-16 Have you ever known someone who refused to grow up? Kind of like when Tom Hanks played a kid in the 1988 movie, “Big”? Except sometimes, it’s not so cute, when adults act childish. Sometimes adults forget those key lessons from kindergarten, like learning how to share ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,659 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Looking For Comfort

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 31, 2023
     | 878 views

    God's coming does not depend on us. In fact, He has already come. And the only things we have to do to receive him are the same three things Isaiah told the people of Israel so long ago.

    I got a recording of the Messiah for my 20th birthday. That was the summer after I dropped out of my first college; I was living at home getting ready to go to my second one and trying to make some kind of sense out of my life. There was no way on earth I could make sense out of anybody else’s. ...read more

    Perhaps this can help those trying to come up with something to say in devastating circumstances.

    A Eulogy for a Young Person Who Died of a Drug Overdose God brought Ware and Maggie Hart to Red Bank United Methodist Church in Chattanooga, TN a year or two before the Pandemic, and we immediately became close. Ware is the only person who has ever referred to me as Rabbi. At Ware’s ...read more

    Doing Church God’s Way: Marks Of Maturity Series

    Contributed by Dana Chau on Jun 28, 2025
     | 264 views

    Did you know that the Bible says, “Whoever aspires to be a leader desires a noble task”? Maybe this would make more sense if you knew what a mature church leader looked like. You are invited to learn and grow into the mature leader God wants to lead His church!

    Doing Church God’s Way: Marks of Maturity 1 Timothy 3:1-16 Jay Kesler, the past President of Youth for Chirst, was on an airplane one day. He sat next to a young man. When lunch was served, the young man declined the lunch. As Mr. Kesler ate his lunch, he noticed that the young man’s ...read more
