    based on 18 ratings
     | 31,633 views

    When weathering a storm, we need to remember that God is always there even in our self-made storms. It really does not matter whether the storm is a self-made storm, a storm God caused, or a storm others caused, how do we handle these storms? How should w

    Subject: Weathering the Storms of Life Text: Acts 27:20-44 Introduction: I believe there are basically three kinds of storms: storms we cause, storms that God causes and storms caused by others. I know that we can agree there are some storms that we cause in our lives. The reasons for the storms ...read more

    Passing It On Series

    Contributed by Rick Stacy on May 21, 2009
     | 5,644 views

    Lives that refuse to plug into God’s grace are self sufficient lives, lives that rely on self and ego. It takes humility to admit that we’ve sinned against God and to trust in Christ for our salvation, but until we do that we can’t plug into God’s grace.

    TRANSFORMATIONS 6/15/08 – Father’s Day – Passing it On Passing it on… I still remember the exact moment when I realized that I was truly an adult. It wasn’t my 18th birthday, or when I moved out of the house a few months later. It wasn’t even my wedding day, which came just two years after my 18th ...read more

     | 4,408 views

    People today are so unempathetic that we see people in trouble, we see people in distress, and we are so self-absorbed…so self-centered that all we care about is me, my and mine! but Jesus purchased us with His blood to be our Brother’s Keeper!

    Open your bibles with me to Luke at chapter number 10 commencing in verse 25 through verse 37. Thank you, you may be seated. The grass withers and the flower fades but the word of our God shall stand forever! I want to talk this morning about the danger of losing our empathy …empathy is our ability ...read more

    This sermon is on self-control and the Spirit’s role in enabling us to achieve the goals we have to gain control over our selves.

    February 15, 2004 Galatians 5:22-23 “The Spirit-filled Life” INTRODUCTION In Scotland, during the early days of aviation, a stunt pilot was selling rides in his single engine airplane. One day he got into an argument with an old farmer who insisted upon taking his wife along on ...read more

    Resurrection: Fact Or Fiction?

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 16, 2025
     | 672 views

    Some of you have played Jenga with your family, right? You seek to pull piece after piece out without the tower collapsing. If Christianity were a Jenga tower, the resurrection is the one block that, when pulled, the tower comes crashing down every single time.

    Dead people stay dead.1 “Nobody goes to funerals and says, ‘What’s the over/under if this person comes alive again?’” I have yet to see one dead person come back to life. I doubt you have seen any dead person live again, either. Once people have gone down the road of death, they just don’t return.2 ...read more

    We can each recognize the revelation of the church’s mysterious nature and passionately minister its gospel.

    1. The first clue that reveals the mystery of the church is the steward of the mystery (3:1-5) 2. The second clue that reveals the mystery of the church is the content of the mystery (3:6) 3. The third clue that reveals the mystery of the church is the minister of the mystery (3:7-9) 4. ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,087 views

    The church is for far more than empty ceremony on occasions demanded by tradition; it is the steward of new life, with a rich and full experience that employs the diversity of gifts God has given it.

    Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

    When the Son of Man ascended to Heaven he didn’t leave us empty-handed. He left us with all we need to be victorious in every fact of life.

    WHAT DID JESUS LEAVE FOR US? By Pastor Jim May I was somewhat amused this week with so many people who were concerned about the passing of the date 6/6/06. It never ceases to amaze me that people, who are supposed to know and understand the Word of God, are so superstitious, and so afraid, of ...read more

    Jesus takes time to reveal the resurrection to His disciples, with an empty tomb, a Bible study, and a personal visit - just as He reveals His new life to those that seek Him.

    Sometimes good news is just as hard to hear as bad news. When someone comes to your door and says "You’ve just won the Publishers Clearinghouse Giveaway" what is your first thought? "Nah".

    This is the fourth in a series but can be used stand alone. It looks at the bright new morning that dawns to dispel the shadows of the cross. A stone rolled away, a tomb standing empty, and a promise fulfilled.

    Shadows of the Cross Pt 4 From the Shadows a New Day Dawns Luke 24:1-12 It was early dawn – the sun not yet above eastern horizon. Three women make their way quietly toward the tomb of Jesus. As they make their way down the road their eyes might have been called again to a hilltop called Golgotha ...read more

    based on 55 ratings
     | 14,648 views

    In the words of Bill Hybels, we are too busy NOT to spend time alone with God. It speaks to those who may have found their prayer time empty and why that may be.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,649 views

    Soul winning was Jesus' main mission, ends human emptiness, interrupts the cycle of sin, honors the suffering of Jesus, and is the only brief opportunity of helping people switch eternal destinations.

     | 5,894 views

    When the ladies came to the empty tomb, the angel said, "You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified." This statement begs us to answer this question, "Who or what is it that you seek?"

    Life’s Most Important Question Mark 16:1-8 • To read about the resurrection of Jesus is – well – just plain exciting. Jesus’ heart stopped bleeding, His blood stopped flowing, His human brain stopped working, & He was buried for THREE DAYS before HE CAME BACK TO LIFE ...read more

    Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jul 29, 2023
     | 1,727 views

    Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

    This morning we are looking at Psalm 32 and we find that it is written by King David. It’s a psalm paired with Psalm 51. They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more

    The empty tomb is not a symbol of loss—it is a declaration of victory. Jesus is not in the grave; He is alive forevermore! Because He lives, we live. Because He rose, we rise.
