    All You Can Eat!

    Jesus feeding the 5,000 is not only about sharing, but added value. All you can eat means: you can get all life has to offer

    "By the breaking of the bread, he makes it into a seedbed of food--for if the bread had been left intact and not pulled apart and broken into pieces, they would have been unable to feed the great crowds of men, women, and children....Mysteries are made manifest, so that what did not feed the ...read more

    Jesus offers us a way to live forever that is better than the fountain of youth. If only Ponce De Leon spent more time looking into Jesus’ way to immortality.

    Preparing For The Best Series

    Persecution can and is real. The key is how we approach it. Peter offers 2 lessons of encouragement: We must "Cultivate Christian Love" and "Practice the Lordship of Christ".

    INTRODUCTION Persecution is real for the believer. While it comes in many different ways, it is real – The group we’ve been studying about in 1 Peter suffered this horror in much a different way than we do as Christians today: Dr. M.R. DeHaan put it this way: In the early days of the church. . . , ...read more

    Jesus gained popularity as a healer but He wanted to provide more. Even the greatest healing miracle was only a band-aid compared to what Jesus really wanted to offer.

    I don’t think that you are going to be surprised that I am now going to mention the Super Bowl this morning and the fact that my Pittsburgh Steelers won! Yes, last Sunday they pulled out a great game and although watching it on television was enjoyable, I would have loved to be there in person. I ...read more

    The second faith tradition offers a counter balance to the holy life: the spirit-filled life. We’ll explore strengths/dangers and how to integrate this tradition into our lives.

    Streams of Living Water Filled By the Spirit Acts 19:1-7 October 17, 2004 Mark Eberly Last week we looked at our first stream of living water: the holy life. The counterbalance to the holy life is the spirit-filled life. If legalism and perfectionism are two of the great perils of the holy life, ...read more

    Seeing The Grace Of God In Repentance

    This morning I want to focus on the Grace of God as our Savior who offers us the gift of repentance. And what a glorious gift repentance is for without it we are destined for destruction.

    Seeing the Grace of God in Repentance (Acts 17:30-34) “Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having ...read more

    Cantate Sunday, 1986: Music has power to involve every facet of our beings in worship, it helps build the body of Christ, and it can offer a credible witness to the world.

    It was offertory time in the morning worship, and everyone had settled down quietly – settling down, I suspect, for a little nap to get themselves ready for the big nap they would take during the sermon! And, as was customary, the organist began the slow and solemn strains of an offertory: music to ...read more

    Jesus suffered and died for us. Jesus offers up a prayer in John 17 that shows His desire for us and His joy in obeying the Father through much suffering.

    (Note the Semi-Chiastic Structure of John 17) John 17 – A Glorious Prayer of Joy through Immense Pain Full Structure of John 17:1-26 A) Verses 1-3: The time has come: The Father will Glorify His Son; Eternal life is only through Jesus.

    Nadab and Abihu were destroyed by God because they offered an "authorized" fire before God. What had they done wrong and what can we learn from their mistake?

    The food and drink of a relationship with God are offered to all. They have to be bought but God has paid for it all himself through the ministry of Jesus. So, come, you who are thirsty!

    “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat!” (55:1). When Lawrence of Arabia was in Paris after WWI with some of his Arab friends, he showed them the wonderful sights of the city; but do you know what impressed them the most? The ...read more

    The fearful heart cannot accept what God offers; but the healed heart receives freedom from shortcomings, confidence before the world, and liberty from becoming a controller of others.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC; November 23, 1986 By now you are probably weary of heart, this several weeks of dealing with what I have called, "heart diseases."

    This is actually a clear, instructive position paper which clears away some misconceptions and offers precise definitions. It is useful for personal study or study groups, in addition to Sunday messages.

    WHAT DOES “CHARISMATIC” MEAN? Pastor Eric J. Hanson A Teaching Position Paper Initial disclaimer: The secular use of the word “charismatic” meaning “possessing great personal magnetism, able to attract and hold an audience or constituency”, etc, is a secular meaning which is derived second ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,792 views

    This is the second message about the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness dealing with the devil offering Jesus the kingdoms of the world if He fell down and worshiped the devil. The focus of the message is on the dangers of shortcuts.

    This message was inspired by a couple of sermons that I read here on Sermon Central. I do not remember who wrote those sermons, sorry! As is often the case with my sermons I did not write out the closing of this message. After reading the message the Holy Spirit should be able to give you an ...read more

    The active atheist's life is not only meaningless,. . . but tragic in the worst sense, because, absent a miracle, he turned his back on a free offer of eternal joy.

    Seventh Sunday in Course 2019 For the Catholic Students Group Today our Office readings begin a series from the book of Ecclesiastes, or Qoheleth, which means “the Teacher.” It is one of the best-known of the Wisdom books of the OT, purportedly written by King Solomon, who, at least in his youth, ...read more

    Choose Wisely

    Contributed by Jeremy Dunn on Aug 25, 2015
     | 15,539 views

    Israel was given a choice between life and death. They chose poorly. That same choice is offered to us. Life or death? Blessing or curse? The choice is ours to make. Choose wisely.

    So often in scripture the thundering voice of judgment is followed by the loving voice of hope. Israel did forsake the Lord for idols and the Lord did bring upon his people judgements stated in his covenant. Israel had a choice, and they chose poorly. But interestingly enough, no nation in history ...read more
