    Holy Spirit Fall Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Jul 6, 2023
     | 1,195 views

    Will you respond to the Holy Spirit? Will you seek this baptism of power? If I offered you a million dollars, you’d take it. So, why not take this promise of spiritual power?

    HOLY SPIRIT FALL Text: Acts 10:44-48 Introduction 1. Illustration: Many of you have heard my testimony of how I came to Christ at a Christian concert. However, you may not have heard the rest of my testimony of how I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. It was about a year after my coming to Christ, ...read more

    When Jesus Comes: No Grasp Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2010
     | 3,623 views

    We live in a status-seeking world. But when Jesus comes as a tiny infant in a humble set of circumstances, He shows us that the way to live is one of obedience and giving up control.

    This afternoon, if all goes as we would like – all of us, that is, with the possible exception of a few traitors and a few folks who for some strange reason do not care about pigskin prowess – this afternoon, if all goes as we would like, our beloved Redskins will do battle with the ...read more

    Sermon 1 - Your Purpose

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 21, 2005
    based on 196 ratings
     | 52,864 views

    First in a series of "Purpose-Driven" messages. This one talks about why we are here; our purpose; and our ultimate value as Christians.

    All of us have questions about why we exist. I think the two most asked questions about our lives are: a) The question of reason - "Why am I here?" b) The question of value - "Do I really matter?" Now, if you go around asking different people these questions, you will get many different ...read more

    Genesis begins "In the beginning God..." What does that mean for us, and what does rest of the first chapter mean for our lives?

    OPEN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28sqs5H5hao (It’s a video “Creation Calls” by Brian Doerksen. I immediately followed video with quote by Abraham Lincoln and then immediately began to read from the entire chapter of Genesis 1) Abraham Lincoln once said: “I never behold ...read more

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,543 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    A Heart For The Lost

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 130 views

    God’s love moves first, searches tirelessly, and rejoices loudly—calling us to join His rescue mission for every wandering heart.

    It’s funny how easily we can tune things out. I fly often, and when the attendants go through the safety speech, hardly anyone listens. We’ve heard it all before, and it doesn’t feel relevant—we don’t expect the plane to crash. Sometimes the church sounds that way to the world. The message is ...read more

    Keeping your heart in the right place. Leading a comfortable lifestyle is not the only thing we should be seeking in life. We have a responsibility to our fellow men and women as well as God.

    Keeping Your Heart in the Right Place Introduction Manufacturers have regularly recalled such items as automobiles, television sets and, of course, more recently, Chinese built children’s toys. If defective, these items can be very dangerous. In 1972, General Electric issued what may be the ...read more

    Theology is faith seeking understanding. It can help us see the relevance of God's Word to our lives, especially when we don't get what we pray for.

    Thursday of the First Week of Lent 2014 Lumen Fidei In the Jewish calendar, which is a lunar, or thirteen-month calendar, spring is the time of Purim, the minor feast of deliverance. The story is well-known in all the world, to Jews and Christians. A Persian king had, in God’s design, an ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: The Fruit Of Self-Control Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 31, 2015
     | 5,801 views

    Where do you need the spiritual grace of self-control? Seek the Lord for direction, and let Him mold you into a Disciple that is controlled at all times and in all circumstances by the Holy Spirit.

    “. . . the fruit of the spirit is . . . self-control. . .” (Gal. 5:22-23) Not too long ago I watched the movie “Castaway” with Tom Hanks. He was stranded on this island after a plane crash in the ocean. He had nothing to eat at first but coconuts. He had to master the ...read more

    “Being a neighbor is not necessarily defined by seeking out those who need help, but rather it is becoming a person who is able to reach beyond themselves to help someone get back on track.”

    “The Unlikely Hero” I want to share a story about a man by the name of Karl Marx. (Has anyone here ever heard of him?) He is known as the father of Communism. He had one agenda and one agenda only and that was for communism to replace capitalism. Let me explain. Today, in ...read more
