    Hope When You Don't Think You Have Enough Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Nov 29, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,002 views

    Christmas is often a time when people struggle feeling that they don't have enough, or can't provide enough. It often steals away the joy of Christmas. Mary could have felt that she did not have enough; yet her song proves-- Jesus was enough.

    One of the top 10 Christmas songs of all time- it actually is ranked #7- is the song: “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey. The song goes like this: “Don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need, I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree, I just ...read more

    The Problem With Racism Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,409 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

    Home Sweet Home

    I do ministry in nursing homes & sometimes the residents have the mentality level of toddlers. Colton's simple childlike description of what our Home Sweet Home will be like in Heaven is for Real for Kids will be encouraging to them.

    Who here has been on a vacation or trip somewhere? After being on the journey for a while where did you want to be? Where did you want to go? As the saying goes, there’s no place like home! Why is that? Why do we feel drawn to go home? For most of us, one reason is that home is a place where ...read more

    If you want God to answer YOUR prayers, remind God that HIS interests are at stake and ask God to remember His people. His purpose, and His promise.

    There was once a small town which had no liquor stores. Eventually, though, someone built a nightclub right on the main street through town. This so upset the members in one of the churches that they conducted several all-night prayer meetings. They asked the Lord to “burn down that den of ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,215 views

    The "Golden Rule" is both simple and profound and sums up the lifestyle Christians should embrace. But what does this "Rule" mean to us, and how can we live it to its fullest?

    (Asking the audience) What Is Golden Rule? “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s a simple and yet powerful statement that has caught the imagination of the world, and it’s almost as if nobody (before Jesus) had ever thought about that! ILLUS: Several years ago, there was a ...read more

    Many pastors and church leaders are in this great work not to be rewarded or celebrated, yet those who value their work and see their sacrifice should seek ways to bless their lives and encourage them on their way.

     | 1,399 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.

    This do in Remembrance of Me is more than a mental snapshot of something that happed in the past. It is more than a sentimental emotion that places a smile on your face or causes you to perform a ritual out of tradition, but true remembrance affects every aspect of our senses.
