    Playing The Fool Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 48 ratings
     | 7,146 views

    Words do hurt when they come from our unresolved anger. That anger is about our own issues, it requires accountability when it hurts others, it separates us from God when it is deliberate. Reconciliation is a priority.

    Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it. Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each ...read more

    Is it right or wrong for one to plan and save for the future? What should our attitude be toward our golden years? What does God expect? The account of the prosperous farmer in Luke provides us some valuable lessons.

    based on 61 ratings
     | 40,006 views

    Responsibility means accountability, being trustworthy and diligent. It also means accepting duties of roles. Never before has there been a greater need in the church for Christian’s to step up and accept their responsibility as part of the Body of Christ

    CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY Text: Hebrews 6:9-12 Introduction: Responsibility is a sense of duty and obligation to self and other.

    The Miraculous Supply

    Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 11, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,239 views

    The miracle of God’s provision is not something confined to the Bible, although it is clearly seen there, but it is for us today - if we are willing to follow the same path as seen in this lovely account of God’s caring for us in our need.

    THE MIRACULOUS SUPPLY II Kings 4:1 - 7 1 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves." 2 Elisha replied to her, "How can I help ...read more

    The High Cost Of Unforgiveness

    Contributed by Darrin Fish on Sep 2, 2015
     | 5,069 views

    We need to remember / Never Forget that Someday we will be “summoned” / To give an account. • This does not necessarily happen on the other side. • It can happen any day as God responds to our unforgiveness.

    The High Cost of Unforgiveness Matthew 18:21-35 Several years ago, we were looking to buy a new car. • We found one we wanted, but we discovered that it cost more than we could afford. • Most of us in life find that we have a limit to what we can or will pay for an item. Jesus ...read more

     | 3,755 views

    The birth narrative is an amazing account, filled with characters who are almost larger than life. It is easy for them to overshadow the One person who never says a word. The One coming from Heaven to dwell among us.

    First Sunday of Advent - Read - Luke 1:1-4 & 26-38 This may seem like a crazy question but how many of you remember Elvis? Before concerts they would announce to the crowd who was already there that, “Elvis has entered the building.” And the cheers would erupt! Elvis had not yet sung ...read more

     | 2,481 views

    In the course of the early mission of Jesus Apostles and their associates, while their oral proclamation was still being hear and remembered, written accounts of Jesus words and works began to be drawn up for the benefit of the communities of Christians that has formed.”

    I. The OT looked forward to Christ A. (John 5:46-47) B. The OT looked forward to a Messiah that would bring a new law to make Israel and the nations glad. (Deuteronomy 18:15-19) 1.

     | 11,914 views

    Before Jesus reached the cross, He faced unspeakable torture at the hands of the Roman soldiers. There are accounts of soldiers flogging prisoners to death. The point of flogging was to bring them close to death so the crucifixion time would be shortened.

    INTRODUCTION Easter is three weeks from today. We’re counting down the last 94 hours before the disciples discovered the empty tomb. I’m calling this “94 Hours that Changed the World.” We’ve already walked with Jesus from the last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane ...read more

    Easter-Its A Matter Of The Heart

     | 4,094 views

    An encounter with the risen Christ is life-transforming. Meeting the risen Christ on the Emmaus road changed the perspective and actions of the two men in the Gospel account. Taking the Easter message to heart can do the same for his disciples today.

    Text: Luke 24:13-35 Topic: “It’s A Matter of The Heart.” INTRODUCTION: A- Tell the Easter Story (Luke 24:1-12). B- Read the text (Luke 24:13-35). TS: What Easter means to you is “is a matter of the heart.” There is a three-step progression that will make it a ...read more

     | 17,096 views

    Years ago when I was a young banker in Painesville Ohio, we used large leather bound ledgers in which all the accounts were entered by hand. Those ledgers remind me of God's ledgers in heaven.

    There is probably no greater summary of God's love ....than that which is found.... in John 3:16. Martin Luther called it ......the miniature gospel. One Sunday school teacher .... kept a copy of this verse in a walnut shell on his desk .....because he was taught as a child..... that John 3:16 ...read more

    Noah Part 1 – The Faithful Preacher Of Righteousness In A Perverse Generation - - Genesis 6&7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 28, 2022
     | 2,078 views

    The account of Noah is ridiculed, but it is filled with interesting facts, some problems, but much challenging teaching. This message, Part 1 of 3, examines the times of Noah with reference to our times and even beyond that. Who were the Nephilim?

    NOAH PART 1 – THE FAITHFUL PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A PERVERSE GENERATION There is much to learn in the study of Noah, and we draw some lessons from this factual account in God’s word. Let us look at the opening verses of Genesis chapter 6: {{Genesis 6:1-4 Now it came about, when men began ...read more

    Navigating Through The Sea Of Hardship

    Contributed by David Darst on Feb 22, 2021
     | 5,986 views

    This is a expositional sermon series through the 27th Chapter of Acts. The Unusual account of The Apostle Paul's journey to Rome, and the practical applications of how it can help assist believers navigate through the storms of life.

    How to Navigate through the SHIP….in the Seas of HardSHIP. In the Storm, you must stay with the Ship to Survive! Acts 27:9-44 I find it extremely interesting why Luke dedicates an entire chapter to Paul’s experience of this voyage on his way to Rome. I think it holds substantial spiritual and ...read more

    "Do You Love Me?” (The Interests Of Jesus Resurrected.)

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Apr 8, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,660 views

    The account of Jesus' personal encounter and conversation with Peter after His resurrection reveals His interest in dealing with Peter, but also with us for whom He died. For Peter and us to love Him is the most important matter to Jesus.

    “Do you love Me?” (The Interests of Jesus Resurrected.) John 21:15-17 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a ...read more
