    Contributed by John Tung on Feb 12, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 15,622 views

    There are tradeoffs in life in general and in spiritual life: A. Some things need to be denied in order for other things to be gained B. Some things need to be lost in order for other things to be found C. Some things need to be carried in order for ot

    I. Introduction Is being a Christian supposed to be a joy or a burden? Is being a Christian supposed to be something that brightens our life or weigh us down? Some people think that being a Christian means it creates a heavy burden and weighs them down. I want to show you today that that is not ...read more

    Living On Purpose

    Contributed by Randy Trotter on Jul 25, 2009
    based on 25 ratings
     | 15,362 views

    I got this idea from a sermon I saw on SermonCentral. Very few fulfill the purpose of God in their lives so they never fully know the fulness of life God has for them.

    “LIVING ON PURPOSE” LWC July 26, 2009 I’ve teaching on “PURPOSE” on Wednesday nights for some weeks now. It’s something God has impressed on my heart. I know that if we are to live any kind of “Righteous, Successful Christian Lives” we need to understand our “PURPOSE” in life, given by God! God ...read more

    Who Is Leading?

    Contributed by W. Leon Morrow on Mar 7, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,983 views

    This sermon is designed to guide the members of the congregation to deny oneself, to take up ones cross, and to follow Jesus.

    There are tremendous lessons in our Holy Scripture. There are lessons not only in the words, or the content, but that there are lessons for us even in the construction of the writing—there are lessons in the style as well as in the words themselves. For example, in Mark the disciples had been ...read more

    Message from Mark 6:30-44 illustrating the 3 Keys necessary for effective ministry.

    3 Keys to Effective Ministry Mark 6:30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to Him all that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a remote place and rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to ...read more

    Our attitudes flow from our minds - so our mindset is critically important.

    “”Living a Joy-full Life: Develop A Healthy Attitude” Phil. 2:5-11 Dr. Norman Vincent Peale once walked by a tattoo parlor in Hong Kong. In the shop window there was a display of decorations that could be imprinted on one’s skin – flags, patriotic slogans, anchors, ...read more

    There can be no coexistence of sin and a godly life. There are something's that need to die.

    “It’s has to die” By Bishop M.L. Maughmer, Jr. TEXT:- Exodus 20:13 is the sixth commandment it says "Thou shalt not kill." Deuteronomy 20:16-18 “But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that ...read more

    Knowledge Of Ourselves.

    Contributed by Roy Fowler on Jan 31, 2015
     | 4,484 views

    Understanding yourself as you move to a more understanding of who God is. Freedom without love can cause weaker Christians to fall.

    To understand the Scripture we have to understand what was going on within it. In those days the pagan religions sacrificed to their gods similar to what the Jews did. After the religious ceremony was over they would sell the meat to local food establishments. They would then sell it to ...read more

    So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014
     | 5,121 views

    Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

    Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more

    Are You Asleep In The Light? Series

     | 17,739 views

    When you’re spiritually asleep it means you’re unaware of what God is doing right now in the world.

    INTRODUCTION One of the first church jokes I remember hearing is about the deacon who always went to sleep when his pastor started preaching. One Sunday, the pastor decided to play a trick on him. He started preaching, and sure enough, the drowsy deacon was soon sound asleep. The pastor said ...read more

    It is so easy to have A PITY PARTY and feel like your are the only person in the world that is having trouble. What are you doing here? Problems and obstacles are common.

    What Are We Going To Do

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 23, 2015
     | 7,431 views

    We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.

    An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the traffic light turned yellow just in front of him. The man did the right thing stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The ...read more

    Another John the Baptist sermon, but I really did not understand the man until now. Can we ever emulate and sustain his devotion to Jesus?

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 17th December 2017 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    Grain Of Wheat Principle

     | 10,236 views

    “Lord, protect me from the things I want. If they're not in accordance with your will. ~Amen.”

    Lent5B You can tell that Jesus eat whole grains by his analogy of a kernel of wheat falling to the ground and dying to produce life. It was in reference to his sacrificial death, but he gives it to us as an over-arching spiritual principle of dying to selfish desires, e.g. like the ...read more
