    Hannah’s preparation of Samuel for a life of ministry was accomplished in just a few short years. See the qualities of motherhood that allowed her to impact young Samuel.

    Some people look at themselves, at their image, as though they were looking into a very tiny mirror. You know the mirror I'm talking about. Every woman seems to have one. I know my mother would always have one buried somewhere inside her purse. Updated January 2020.

    The Mirror (Short Homily) James 1:16-27 What image do you see ... when you look in a mirror? Who is that person ... in the reflection? Paul speaks of looking into a darkened mirror: BIBLE "For now we see through a mirror, darkly; but then face to face (Pause) now I know in part; but ...read more

    The Parable Of The Mom And Two Children

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,070 views

    The Parable of the Two Sons retold in a modern way for children. This is set up as a play, but can easily be told as a story or sermon illustration. The modern context helps create a gateway for children to see themselves in the story.

    The Parable of the Mom and Two Children Narrator: There once was a Mom who had two children (The mom walks out and waves to people). Narrator: Her oldest daughter, Emily, loves sports (The reader pauses and lets Emily walk out. They wait five seconds. She walks out and waves to the ...read more

    Our text gives us six short takes in scripture. 1- Be joyful 2- Pray continually 3- Give thanks 4- Build fire 5- Test everything

    INTRO.- Short takes. What is this? I assume it’s the idea of taking a short look at some subject. It could be a short or brief look at politics. No, we don’t want to go there because it seems that there is nothing short when it comes to politics; not speeches, not conventions, not debates, etc. ...read more

     | 4,282 views

    Short all-age talk for 2009 Christmas Eve services. Many people come from our community. Talk uses an illustration of how I as an earthly Dad might write a book for my children to get to know me better. God has given us a book, but also given us Jesus.

    God couldn’t have made Himself bigger to impress us, so He made Himself smaller to attract us. Knock, knock! Who’s there? Wayne! Wayne who? A Wayne in a manger … Knock, knock! Who’s there? Hanna! Hanna who? Hanna partridge in a pear tree … Knock, knock! Who’s there? Doughnut! Doughnut who? Do not ...read more

    Genesis 24:1-63 Like many things in the bible, this story has a two-fold meaning! Just like a parable has a physical application and spiritual application.

    Jesus has power over both disease and death.

    A STORY WITHIN A STORY. Matthew 9:18-26. In this particular section Matthew presents us with a ‘story within a story’ – and, as you might expect with such a literary device, there are both similarities and dissimilarities.

    Several groups claim to be descendants of Abraham. The Bible gives us an answer to this important question. As a result of this study, we will see that the story of Abraham is really a story that focuses on JESUS. We will learn that God’s promises can

    Today’s passage brings us to a question that is at the heart of the Middle East conflict. It is also at the heart of one’s relationship with God. In Genesis 15, God repeats the covenant that he established with Abraham when he left Haran. Now God is emphasizing the fact that the promise given for ...read more

    Have you ever had a hole and wondered what could fill it? Have you ever looked at sin like an air bubble that creates a hole in your relationship?

    “SHORT CUTTING YOURSELF” We all have from time to time taken many short cuts, and ignore what God has said to do, especially when it comes down to sin.

    Jesus’ disciples come up short when they come up with solutions for the lack of food. Jesus never comes up short.

    -Have you ever come up short in your attempts to get something done? -Have you ever tried to pull something really cool together and it didn’t quite work out? -You are in good company. The disciples come up short, way short in their attempts to feed the thousands of people in today’s Gospel ...read more
