    Keeping Order Among Our Passions Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,579 views

    Christ is our shepherd, because we are prone as sheep to wander about in pursuit of pleasure, and be devoured by our passions.

    Tuesday of 4th Week of Easter May 5, 2009 “If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” So Jesus talks about sheep. As the Jews of His day–and ours, for that matter–saw it, Jesus never talked plainly. But that wasn’t Jesus’ problem with the Jews, or us, for that matter. Our problem is that Jesus ...read more

    Winning The War... With Humility Series

    Contributed by Steven Buhr on Mar 27, 2008
    based on 16 ratings
     | 24,675 views

    Being a Christian is not a hat we wear, and then take off when it’s convenient or uncomfortable. It’s not a fake ID we show at the pearly gates of heaven or a ‘get out of hell free’ card. Being a Christian is a full-time, life time commitment to the King of kings and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ.

    James 4:1-10 – Winning the War, with Humility ‘Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it — his bottle, his mother’s attention, his playmate’s toy, his uncle’s watch. Deny him these once, and he seethes with rage ...read more

    God's Tender Mercies

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2008
     | 5,908 views

    God does discipline His children who approach the Lord’s Table with unholy attitudes. This is does as an act of love. If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:31, 32 GOD’S TENDER MERCIES “If we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people. How can discipline be ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,444 views

    The tongue is such a small part of our body but can get us into so much trouble if it’s not tamed.

    A man was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper one morning, and as we men do, he was absolutely absorbed with what he was reading. His wife was getting ready to go to work and popped into the kitchen and asked that most dreaded of all questions, "Honey, do these pants make me look fat?" To ...read more

    Lost And Found

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,216 views

    Many today carelessly go around unaware of the imminent danger of dying unsaved and spending an eternity in Hell. They’re not seeking deliverance as they’re unaware they’re lost. Before one can be delivered they first must see they are lost.

    Lost and Found Matthew 18:10-14 Introduction: The famous “Johnstown Flood” of May 31, 1889 was likely the single most newsworthy item in American history between the assassination of Lincoln and World War I. At 3:10 p.m. on May 31, 1889, following a full-day of unprecedented heavy rains, a ...read more

    Cut The Crap

     | 5,211 views

    Just as four friends of a paralytic cut through a roof of clay, manure, and twigs to get closer to Jesus, we need to be honest and cut the crap in our lives that is separating us from Christ. It is the things that separate us from God that Jesus died to

    6 Mark – Cut the Crap Mark 2:1-12 It has taken the first five weeks to get through the first chapter of Mark. In the first chapter we have seen Mark establish:  Who Jesus is – The Holy one of God  That Jesus didn’t just come for Religious types, but all ...read more

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

    Mark 12: 38 – 44 / More Than All Intro: In 1975 I assumed my duties as the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian church in South Bend, Indiana. It was a unique ethnic congregation with many customs and traditions. One such “tradition” was the publishing of the annual “Scandal Sheet of Giving.” --- A ...read more

    Abandoned To A Depraved Lifestyle Series

    based on 25 ratings
     | 20,010 views

    When people reject God's ways or God's truth, the only way remaining is the way of sin & selfishness. As people get further involved in sin, their sin inhibits their willingness & ability to form right judgments about life.

    ROMANS 1: 28-32 ABANDONED TO A DEPRAVED LIFESTYLE This section addresses the havoc that occurs in human relationships and in society because of mankind's suppressing of the knowledge of God (1:18).

    Moses' life shows a pattern of anger issues. Because Moses never got control of his anger, he faced tragic consequences. This sermon will motivate us to do something about our anger with God's help.

    Introduction: A. There is a story told about a girl who was writing a paper for school and asked her father for help, "Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?" 1.
