    Contributed by Ken Harris on Jul 2, 2010

     | 8,202 views

    The purpose of this sermon is to motivate the hearers to “tell somebody” that there is a price tag to consider before committing oneself to following Jesus Christ. Because it could mean becoming a geographical nomad.

    U.S. Army Chaplain (MAJ) Ken Harris, Jr. West Fort Hood Chapel Second Sunday of June Killeen, TX 27 June 2010 Big Idea: For some believers to follow Jesus means more than just believing in Him. It also means becoming a geographical nomad. Scriptural References: EAI (Expository; ...read more

    We find our image in the servanthood of Jesus.

    “It’s All About Image” John 12:23-26 Be honest. What others think about you is important to you, isn’t it? Most of us will admit that we spend an inordinate amount of our time on building and maintaining our image. That’s why we spend so much time and money on cleansers, make-up, combing and ...read more

    James asked his readers, “What is your life?” to emphasize the brevity of life and the urgent need for the guidance and help of God if we are to make our lives meaningful and productive for God.

    What Is Your Life James 4:14 Introduction Starting in 1955 there was a game show on television called This Is Your Life. Celebrity subjects were ambushed during their ordinary daily routines and brought into the studio to have a spotlight shined on their past. I think it is safe to say that you ...read more

    The Tale of the Two “I” Exams 1) “See me, God? I’m not like him.” 2) “Save me, God! I’m not like you.”

    When is the last time you had an eye exam? Eye care experts recommend that we should have our eyes checked every one to three years depending on age, risk factors, and physical condition (allaboutvision.com). Regular eye exams are important because experts estimate that one in four school-age ...read more

    Powerful message teaching the real meaning of brokenness. God desires the sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart.

    God desires the sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart. Pride or independence is the antithesis of true brokenness Brokenness is about our will being totally submitted to God. Out of brokenness the glory and presence of God is revealed. ...read more

     | 9,579 views

    We have heard garbage in garbage out; well, God in us equals God coming out.

    What goes In Must Come Out On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37-38 (NIV) What ...read more

    Lust & Chastity Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 12, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,411 views

    A Christian view of sexuality. Lust happens when attraction becomes an overpowering factor in one's life. Chastity is a positive lifestyle marked by self-control.

    A cartoon depicts two guys in Hell, and one says to the other: “I was under the impression that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” All of the deadly sins we’ve been studying are distorted or excessive attachments to good things. We make them bad. When life revolves around ...read more

    A sermon about authenticity.

    Luke 18:9-14 "Be Real" So, who are you, really? I'm not talking about the person who appears to have everything perfectly under control, or the persona who has been created, layer-by-layer, through the painful, embarrassing or shameful experiences of life... ...the protective shield we build ...read more

    Babel

     | 6,397 views

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

    The Younger Women

    Not women only, but all who are placed in the congregation of the Lord, are called to consider how to live so as to honour God.

    “As for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,168 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more
