  • The Promise Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 4, 2021
     | 5,476 views

    Hopelessness is the doorway to hope and Christ is our doorway to eternal hope. The promise of hope in the future is our hope in the present, amen?

    How many of you have had the experience of praying to God and it seems like God is not listening or not answering your prayer? All of us, I would suspect. Sadly, I’ve seen that take people out of the faith. God didn’t answer their prayers so they either turned their back on God or concluded ...read more

  • Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,889 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
     | 1,574 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
     | 3,754 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

    REFLECTING ON TIME [This message has developed around thoughts in an outline by: J. R.

A) We do this on our ...read more

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

  • How Do You Boil A Frog? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 1, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,069 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
     | 3,375 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
     | 2,220 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

  • Drop It Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,127 views

    I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

    [Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand. Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more

  • Cornerstone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022
     | 4,392 views

    Placing the stone in your hand at the foot of the cross means that you are willing to no longer see yourself or the world as the guiding force at the center of your life and remind you that Jesus is the Cornerstone that guides our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions.

    Cornerstone. The “cornerstone” is the first stone that is set when you start building with stone or brick. It’s the most important part of the building because the position of all the other stones or bricks are determined by the cornerstone. [Hold up piece of paper or bulletin.] Imagine that ...read more

  • Rock Solid Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 5, 2022
     | 2,553 views

    Faithful people of every age have stood up and professed Jesus as their Savior and their Lord because of the foundation of their faith … the love of God as shown to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, becoming another stone laid atop many other stones.

    [Note: The title of this series is "The Stony Path." Each sermon has a theme or uses the image of a stone. As the people come into church, they are given a stone to hold during the service. At the end of the service, they are asked to place their stones at the foot of a wooden cross ...read more

     | 3,249 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
     | 2,846 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
