    Sermon: Rest For The Weary Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 31, 2023
     | 3,470 views

    Jesus, our blessed Redeemer never became too weary of his labor of love. He ministered to mass crowds, taught the disciples at night, rose early in the morning for prayer, faced relentless opposition and never gave up. Jesus found a rhythm in ministry. He knew when to work, and when to rest.

    Sermon: Rest For the Weary Scripture: Matt 11:25-28 “At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this ...read more

    Psalm 23:2 is a picture of serenity, peace, and total rest. Just as sheep cannot rest without their shepherd, we too cannot find true peace without the Lord. In this message, our Shepherd reveals the secret to living a truly restful life.

    The Secret to a Restful Life! Psalm 23:2a Introduction: Cf. in this verse it’s as if the Holy Spirit through the Psalmist David paints a beautiful picture upon the canvass of our minds… lush, green meadow w/ a nearby pond with its still crystal clear water, dotted along the hillside are ...read more

    Bread, Water And Rest

    Contributed by Steve Anderson on Dec 18, 2014
     | 5,975 views

    Funeral sermon for a 16-year old who took his life by suicide at 3 AM by gunshot. It is based on what God provided Elijah when he wanted to die. Its intent is to offer the equivalent of bread, water and rest to the grieving, especially peers and family.

    Background (1 Kings 18): 450 idol prophets; 2 altars, 1 fire; Elijah stood up to 450 prophets of Baal but ran for his life when one woman threatened him (1 Kings 19:3-8). Elijah wanted to die, he had poured out his life for God and felt it had no impact. He was tired and in despair, depressed. ...read more

    I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

    (Reading of the obituary) I think it’s pretty safe to say that this day came as a great shock to almost every one of us in this room here today. While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more

    This sermon but challenges us to think about how we are living as the people of God and how we might shake up our thinking, our relationships, and our communities of faith. . . not just for “shaking’s” sake, but because God is prompting us.

    Tonight our theme is REVERBERATIONS…what does it make you think of? Perhaps the younger people in your community who pump up the bass in your neighborhood and shake your windows with their Hip-hop grooves? Well, hopefully, our reflections on REVERBERATIONS will go deeper than that tonight...not ...read more

    Sometimes we are so busy we simply do not find the time to slow down, pause, or stop long enough to rest and listen to God. Yet, since time began, God has offered us all the opportunity to rest.

    We continue in our series on Hope Found Here and this month we are thinking about ‘Hope in the calming presence of God’ or to put it another way, knowing how to rest and relax in God. The question I want to address this evening is "Do we understand what it means to rest in God?" We live in a fast ...read more
