    Winners In A Loser's World Series

    With privilege comes responsibility, but we need to grasp our privileges to prepare for our responsibilities. And our privileges include this: we are destined to be winners!

    Winners in A Losers’ World (Romans 8:31-34) Note: This sermon was too long to complete for me (I usually preach 1/2 hour), so I ended up reworking point 2 into a second sermon. 1. Short term winners are often long-term losers. 2. The other day, I was messing with my stamp collection. I’ve ...read more

    Facing the Giants in your life over a long period of time.

    INTRO: In the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Ben Johnson of Canada won the 100-meter dash, setting a new Olympic record and a new world record. Our American contender, Carl Lewis, came in second and most were shocked that he hadn’t won the gold. After the race, the judges learned ...read more

    Sometimes we can do all the right things as Christians and still be at the end of our rope. In this sermon I will encourage both believers and unbelievers to seek rest in Christ.

    “Rest For The Weary” Matthew 11:28 INTRODUCTION: Open in Prayer ILLUSTRATION: Think back with me if you will to a time when you were about 6 yrs. Old. Can you remember playing all day, not a worry in the world? Can you remember the feeling of your pillow at the end of the day? You just had a ...read more

    Forgive? Who Me?

    based on 18 ratings

    We desire, and expect God’s forgiveness when we ask. But it is so hard to offer that forgiveness to others when they sin against us.

    Forgive? Who Me? Matthew 18:21-35 I remember this story about a famous person in American history, and for the life of me, I can’t remember who it was. Anyway, this person was asked one Sunday afternoon about the worship service he attended that morning. “What did the preacher preach about?” ...read more

    An exposition of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 with particular focus on the characteristics of the man of lawlessness

    When is Jesus coming back? 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 In 2000 a movie came out called “Left Behind”. This movie was based upon Tim LaHaye’s very popular, fictional series entitled “Left Behind”. For those of you that don’t know, Tim LaHaye writes fictional stories about the end times and the return ...read more

    How To Handle Your Guilt Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 22, 2019
     | 3,497 views

    Many today want to put aside any mention of shame as inappropriate. Paul, though, speaks of godly sorrow and worldly sorrow. What's the distinction and how can sorrow be a good thing?

    SMILEY RELIGION: “God wants me to be happy.” - 2 Corinthians 7:8. - Today so many presume that God’s job is to make them happy. The only way they think about God is that He is there to answer our prayers and bring good things into our lives. - Biblical ideas like carrying your cross, losing ...read more

    Do We Think Jesus Is Coming Back Or Not?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 22, 2006
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,432 views

    This sermon encourages us to watch, to wait, to be alert, to be on our guard, and not to worry. This is an encouragement to remember and believe that Jesus will indeed return with great power and glory, and to remember it whatever our current circumstance

    If I were to hand out confidential voting papers on which you can vote either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, I wonder what the results would be …(long pause). You want to know what the question is, don’t you!

     | 5,425 views

    I know that we do not give God that 100% control. So, I set out to find a Scriptural example of a man or a woman who did not give that control over to God to see what we can learn from that example.

    Introduction Last week, we began a new series about the four big areas of our life that God must win. The first one we talked about was God must win our choices. At the end of the day, there ought to be more checks in God’s column on things that I chose to do God’s way rather than yielding to the ...read more

     | 58 views

    Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

    Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

    David, Pt. 1 of 15

    THE LORD LOOKS AT THE HEART (1 SAMUEL 16) During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer. “Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows.

    Life Is Not Fair Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 29, 2003
    based on 124 ratings
     | 14,669 views

    Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

    Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more

    The Guilt Grind Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 28,781 views

    Did you realize that God has a prescription for dealing with guilt and shame. And that this prescription works for both Christians and non-Christians. What could even non-Christians possibly do to resolve their guilt in sin?

    OPEN: A little boy had been given a slingshot for his birthday. He loved it and practiced every day aiming at different objects. During the summer he and his sister would spend a lot of time at their grandmother’s house and, one day he was out in her backyard he spied his grandma’s pet ...read more

    And Your Joy Will Be Complete

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 9, 2013
     | 13,186 views

    In today’s passage we see Jesus encouraging his disciples by telling them that their grief will turn to joy. Not only would they have joy, but they would have complete joy. In this passage I see seven reasons why our joy is complete.

    “AND YOUR JOY WILL BE COMPLETE” John 16:16-33 INTRODUCTION: In the previous verses, Jesus is explaining to his disciples that he’s going to be leaving them but it is actually a good thing because then the Holy spirit would come. In today’s passage we see Jesus encouraging ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 55 views

    Trusting God’s presence and help gives us courage and steadiness, even when life feels overwhelming and uncertain, because faith refuses to panic.

    Some of us walked in today with hearts that feel waterlogged. Headlines pound like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up like sandbags at the door. A diagnosis, a disappointment, a detour you didn’t see coming—each one another inch on the flood gauge of the soul. You wonder, “How high will this go? ...read more
