    Take Up My Cross And Follow Me

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 16, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,507 views

    Though we fall again and again, it is the getting up that marks the true child of God. So, we offer our lives in surrender to Christ’s purpose. The waters of our baptism renew in us the willing spirit that says, “Yes” to our own taking up the cross.

    In the famous words of the late American news commentator Paul Harvey, Matthew 16:21-28 is “the rest of the story”. It is a continuation from Matthew 16:13-20, in which Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God. Now Jesus is telling his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to ...read more

    In some of the Prisons in the United States when a prisoner is taken to be executed the guard that is leading the procession continual shouts out, Dead man walking. Death came to us through sin; causing each human being to be a "Dead Man Walking"!

    In some of the Maximum-Security Prisons in the United States ... when a prisoner is taken to be executed ... the guard that is leading the procession continual shouts out, ... "Dead man walking". It means, ...to clear the way ... to quiet down ... for this prisoner is on their last walk ...read more

    I was eleven the day I almost drowned. A “harmless” prank at a summer-camp swimming pool nearly ruined my day—and my life! I was away from home for the first time at Camp Cedar Falls, in Southern California’s San Bernardino mountains. A swim in the camp pool with my friends ...read more

    This is not your typical Mother’s Day message.

    A Tale of Two Mothers Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers here today. This morning, in pulpits around the country, pastors will be singing the praises of their mothers and the mothers of their children. They will probably talk about the impact their mothers had on their lives ...read more

    Service For Gavin Xavier Sanford

     | 3,364 views

    I delivered this eulogy in 2014 at the memorial service of my nieces baby boy who died a few days after birth. Thought I’d share it. I hope it blesses you.

    In times like these the first question we often ask is “Why?” And that’s a legitimate question that we’re going to answer here today. But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more

    Woe To Us!

     | 8,780 views

    God does judge nations, cities, churches, families. If we refuse to pursue His glory, there is nothing left for God but to hold us accountable.

    The news is particularly dark today—disrespect among the youth of the nation; increasing sexual assault in which even infants and toddlers are violated; violent crime increasing; external threats to national economic security; rising social unrest centring around linguistic and racial issues. ...read more

    He could save no one by His life; it is His sacrificial death that saves.

    Tom Lowe 12/5/19 Why Did God Forsake Him? Why Did God Forsake Him? It took me quite a while to become comfortable with my answer to that question. It is the title of today’s sermon. And when we are done, I hope you will say along with me, “I am glad he turned his back on ...read more

    Do You Love Sinners? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,204 views

    Think of this: what if the first person to meet the younger brother was the older brother. Think of the anger that would poured out his mouth: “You have a lot of nerve showing up here.”

    Today, we complete a three-week look at one of the most famous of all of Jesus’ teachings – The Parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a story that badly needs rescuing for many, if not most, stop the story when the younger son returns. But Jesus continues the story to an unfinished conclusion. This ...read more

    Fighting Racism And Prejudice Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 18, 2021
     | 3,634 views

    Racism and prejudice are essentially pride in our accomplishments, in my family, and in my tribe. How do you get rid of this kind of prejudice against other classes of people and generations of people? You must humble yourself.

    I was but a high school student when President Ronald Reagan gave one of the most famous Cold War speeches against the backdrop of the Berlin Wall. For those who may not know the story, the Berlin Wall was erected more than a decade after the conclusion of World War II in Berlin. Essentially the ...read more

    Resident Aliens

    Proper 9 (b) Christ was rejected in his hometown. We, too, are rejected by the world. Focus on our status in the world distracts us from the truth of our citizenship in God's kingdom.

    Mark 6: 1-11 J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Resident Aliens” It has been quite a week. A week ago the Supreme Court redefined marriage within the legal and civic sphere. ...read more

    Death Of A Nation

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,657 views

    When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

    “Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more

    The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 27, 2022
     | 6,052 views

    Here is the famous story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Even those with no bible background know what we are talking about when we mention the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is the infamous fire and brimstone judgement of God passage.

    We look at the life of Abraham. His call to leave his land and family and the promise he received. He has been waiting almost 25 years for the fulfillment of that promise. Abraham is promised that Sarah at the age of 90 will give birth to Isaac within the year. Now there is another turn in the life ...read more

    Using Your Gifts To Serve Others - Part 1

    1 Peter 4:10 admonishes us to "use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What is the greatest gift all believers have received? What gift does this poor, lost world need most?

    Using Your Gifts to Serve Others Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) ...read more

    God's Love Has Content!

     | 7,331 views

    Our society values inclusiveness and acceptance. But sometimes the Bible presents us with a God that divides and separates. James 4:1=12 seems to be one of these passages. Or, is it?

    In our society one of the worst things that can be said of us is, “They are so divisive”. Our society is all about inclusiveness. We are all about acceptance; all about respecting differences; all about making room for all. That is what makes preaching from James 4:1-12 difficult. It is so ...read more

    "Off The Chart” Egos Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 12, 2022
     | 2,522 views

    Isaiah prophetically recalls the fall of Lucifer while addressing God’s judgment upon Babylon. Lucifer, whose name would be changed to Satan (“the adversary”) is conceptually linked to the arrogance of the King of Babylon.

    “Off the Chart” Egos Isaiah 14:3-20 1. Today’s joke is short, but one of my funnier jokes. I think I shared it last in 2005. Here goes. There is an old story about a pastor leaving a church. At his farewell dinner, he tried to encourage one of the pillar members, “Don’t be so sad. The next pastor ...read more
