Sermons on Son Is Given:

Definitely

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2004

Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television. I’m not sure he appreciated it when I compared looking TV golf to watching the grass grow. He laughed, but I’m not sure ...read more

Don’t Poke The Lion

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2025

The Man Behind The Manger

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 18, 2019

Joseph is underestimated in his role in the Christmas story – he was especially chosen by God, had many internal battles to fight to obey God, had a unique relationship with God, and played a formative role in the development of the personality of the Son of God.

#8 -- Work Series

Contributed by Derek Melanson on Nov 17, 2006

Work is given to us by God, is done in vain apart from Him, and can be a means of worship--because God calls us to trust Him so that we do not find ourselves eating the bread of "anxious toil."

The reality of work Just imagine—it’s the end of a morning or afternoon or evening of hard work, and you’re very, very tired. But you look around your house, and the floors are swept and clean, the dishes are done, the laundry folded and put away, and even the bathroom fixtures are sparkling; and ...read more

Things Sometimes Get Messy!

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 14, 2003

Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

Isa 53:1-12 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.

Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jun 8, 2003

A different twist on the scripture where Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Who did His Workers, the world and the word say He was? Who do WE say He was?

INTRO In this scripture read this morning, Jesus asks a very pointed question: “Who am I?” It is a question that sounds like he has an identity complex. But the same question was asked about him at least 7 times in the Gospels. The question that we want to explore today is this: Who do we say ...read more
