  • Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,937 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

  • What Did The Angels Think Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2021
     | 1,639 views

    What did the angels think about God taking on flesh and coming into His creation as a weak, helpless baby? Why would God do such a thing for these … these pathetic, corrupt creatures?

    If you remember, last week we took a little trip back in time … to that night in Bethlehem. Let’s picture that night once again. Bethlehem asleep under the stars … the shepherds out in the fields … the quiet punctuated by the occasional bleating of sheep. To the rest of the world … from the ...read more

  • "congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021
     | 3,816 views

    God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.

    When I first proposed doing this, I know that it struck a lot of you … well, probably all of you … as something odd … out of the ordinary. When it came time, you weren’t sure what to do. Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more

    This is a message used for the end of the School year, but would also be appropriate for New Year's

    REFLECTING ON TIME [This message has developed around thoughts in an outline by: J. R. Thomson Greenmount and O’Leary Churches of Christ June 27, 2021 INTRODUCTION: 1) Throughout life there are times and events that cause us to take note of the passing of time. A) We do this on our ...read more

     | 2,535 views

    In looking at Jesus as the Good Shepherd, this messages brings together Psalm 23, with John 10.

    THE GOOD SHEPHERD JOHN 10:1-15 Psalm 23 Greenmount and O’Leary Churches of Christ July 04, 2021 Video Link: https://youtu.be/wUnbno3rOZo INTRODUCTION: A favourite passage of Scripture with many people is the 23rd. Psalm. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He ...read more

  • How Do You Boil A Frog? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 1, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,167 views

    How do you boil a society? How do you boil a whole nation? Paul knew the recipe or formula two thousand years ago and he spelled it out very clearly in his letter to the Christian community in Rome.

    We live in an amazing time, don’t we? We have laptop computers that are literally thousands of times more powerful than the room-sized computers we used to put a man on the moon – actually, 12 men have walked on the surface of the moon … so far. The computer which landed Apollo 11 on the Moon ...read more

  • Passing Through Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 8, 2021
     | 3,474 views

    The "crisis" at the border is not a Republican or Democrat problem, a conservative or liberal, progressive or libertarian problem … it is a “human” problem … and my goal today is to get you to stop thinking of this as a political issue and start looking at it from a Christian perspective.

    Since this service started, 60 immigrants have showed up at our southern border. By the end of this service, 190 more will have joined them. Roughly 250 people show up at our southern border every day in the hopes of either legally or illegally entering our country. We have a big problem. ...read more

  • "who Do You Think You Are?" Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 15, 2021
     | 2,278 views

    Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). The signs of our times seem to be indicating an increasing hostility toward Christianity, which has lost its place as the nation’s primary guiding ethic.

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s certainly true today, amen? They not only know where you live and work, but probably know what kind of car you drive, when you take a shower, what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream or your favorite show on TV, what station you listen to in the car. They ...read more

  • Who Cares? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 22, 2021
     | 2,511 views

    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

  • Missing Stones Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2022
     | 3,345 views

    We no longer have to go to the Temple made of stone to worship God and be in God’s Presence because He resides in the Temple of our hearts.

    [Note: Every week, I've been handing out stones and then asking them to put their stone at the foot of the cross at the end of the sermon. This week, I asked them to keep their stone to remind them of what the other stones represent. So, at the start of this sermon, point to the pile of ...read more

  • Rolling Stone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 23, 2022
     | 2,932 views

    There are lots and lots of ways that we can put Jesus in a tomb and roll a stone over it, but there is no tomb strong enough, my friend, no stone too heavy that Jesus can’t smash it to pieces.

    [Remember ... the members have been placing stones at the foot of the cross for the past seven weeks of Lent and the pile of stones around the bases has gotten pretty impressive ... powerful visual. But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

  • Let The Journey Begin Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022
     | 3,879 views

    Our journey towards a deeper and closer relationship with God is not something that just happens. We don’t just passively float through life and hope that we end up somewhere wonderful or nice. We have to be intentional and we have to be engaged in the process.

    How many of you have just woke up one day, got in your car, went to the airport and randomly bought a ticket to a place you never heard of? Or just got in your car and drove to a random city? None of you, I would suspect. When you go on a trip or a vacation, you picked a certain place to go and ...read more

  • If You've Seen Me Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022
     | 2,384 views

    What do you picture when you picture God: A heavenly tyrant and scrupulous bookkeeper? "Every idea and assumption, says Trevor Hudson, must be measured against the person of Jesus."

    Last Sunday I asked you to mentally or physically draw a picture of what you think God looks like. It may have sounded silly or trite, but I was very, very serious. As preacher, author, and lecturer Trevor Hudson so powerfully and succinctly put it: “In each of our hearts and minds there is ...read more

  • Funeral (Celebration) For A Long-Time Member

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 30, 2023
     | 3,990 views

    This is a funeral for a woman who was a good and long-time member of our church who died rather suddenly.

    One of the ways in which the Apostle Paul supported his ministry was through donations from the various churches, but his main income came from the work of his own two hands. Paul made and mended tents. It required a lot of time and patience, so Paul had a lot of time to think about things … ...read more
