    As the Church we are to be distinctive from those around us

    There is the old saying “When in Rome.” The idea of course is that if you are a particular area or with a group of people you act like they do. If you are with a sophisticated people you act sophisticated. If you are Red Necks you act like a Red Neck. If you are among Pagans then act like one. ...read more

  • Our Great High Priest

    Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008
    based on 16 ratings
     | 29,850 views

    Jesus Christ has become our eternal High Priest. And I think there are three things that these verses tell us about our High Priest that should come as an encouragement to us.

    From the time of the fall of Adam man has needed a mediator… someone who would span the gap that now separated him from God. Man is sinful. God is holy. And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

    The hardest person in the world to forgive….myself.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,898 views

    All roads do not lead to God.

    “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Most of us have heard the historical declaration that, “…‘all roads lead to ...read more

    This is the seventh in a series of sermons working through the book of James. This one focuses on the power of the tonuge, and the words we speak into the lives of others.

    (To draw the attention of the congregation at the start of this sermon, we conducted an old fashioned soda taste taste with two adults in attendance. They were provided four unmarked sodas, and asked to identify the correct one - Coke, Pepsi, Diet Coke, Meijer. Seemed to really get everyone’s ...read more

  • Confident Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Oct 24, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,603 views

    What is it that keeps us from praying? What is it that has made prayer into a drudgery, a joyless discipline that fills us with guilt? It doesn’t have to be that way at all.

    It’s strange that every time someone announces, like we have in the bulletin and up on the overhead and in the announcements, that we’re going to talk about prayer, we all get a little uncomfortable. You may notice in your bulletin that it says, "Leave your guilt bags at home." Because when we ...read more

You know you have to get to the other side of that ...read more

  • "Only The Weak Survive"

     | 18,258 views

    In this world, people believe that you need to focus on your strenghts to be a great leader. In God’s Kingdom it is the exact opposite. God see’s potential in weakness and is able to transform our weaknesses into our most powerful strenghts.

    INTRO: By the show of hands, who here, knows somebody that is perfect or thinks that their perfect themselves? Just raise your hand! If anybody raised their hands, that action alone would qualify you as being imperfect. I want to let you in on a little secret. We are never going to be ...read more

    Not even the worst afflictions you might face can cancel out God¡¦s purpose or God¡¦s favor in your life.

Thankfully we weren¡¦t hurt, but the car was undriveable, and we were 850 miles from home without transportation. For a while we felt not ...read more

  • The Essence Of Your Strength ~ Self Control Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 19, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,488 views

    I guess of all the nine fruits of the Spirit, “self-control” is the one with which we might feel the greatest sense of unease. Self-control is allowing God to be in control of your will and heart and seeking the Spirit to enable us. Then we will know what

    Opening illustration: Some years ago the press had reported that the president of a Midwestern theological seminary was fired after the Board of Directors determined that his temper had imperiled his leadership. The president confessed to “misappropriation of anger,” and after hours of agonizing ...read more

  • Who Lost His Head?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 18, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,067 views

    When we lose our ways emotionally or spiritually, we hurt ourselves and others. Herod, Herodias and Salome demonstrate the ways we can be seduced into losing our heads. John only lost his physical head but not his integrity.

    Do you know the poem, "If’, by Rudyard Kipling? I’m sure you’ve heard it a hundred times. But let me quote just a part of "If’. "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their ...read more
