The Heart Of Christmas

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 12, 2021

Let’s not miss the heart of Christmas like those who missed it the first Christmas because they were too busy with their religion and traditions or looking for other things. And let’s not miss it because of the fear that has gripped our hearts over this current pandemic and the social unrest.

The Heart of Christmas Last week we talked about the Spirit of Christmas, and I thought this week I’d share with you about what I’d like to call “The Heart of Christmas.” But before I do, I’d like to share with you a story. A couple of days before Christmas two men decided to go sailing while ...read more

Choices Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022

This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more

Our Father... Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Feb 5, 2014

Prayer is vital for the believer, but prayer is not so much in the words as it is in the attitude behind those words. This model prayer lays forth a template that guides the believer in the direction of their prayer and the attitude of their heart.

This sermon/study is a conglomeration of my notes for my church family and a HEAVY dose of help from W.Phillip Keller and his book "A Layman Looks at the Lord's Prayer" I thank Mr. Keller for his inspiring words and depth of understanding of this matter, God has used him mightily to touch so many ...read more

Worshipping From The Heart Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 14, 2017

Worship flows out of our revelation of God, our experiences in God, and our gratitude for His goodness. These matters must be addressed when we seek to enhance our worship experience. Otherwise the experience can become artificial and contrived.

01.22.17 Intro How do we move into a higher level of worship—in our personal lives and corporately as a church? Answering that question is more complex that you might think. But it is extremely important to find answers to the question. If I were to ask for a show of hands this morning, how many ...read more

The Heart Of A Shepherd

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014

David reflected God’s own heart as He faithfully tended his sheep, as well as when he later was the shepherd king over Judah and Israel. We need a shepherd’s heart to help us care for the people God brings into our lives.

THE HEART OF A SHEPHERD INTRO: Have you ever thought about what David’s life must have been like as a shepherd? He did not show up for work at 9 am. and go home at 5. He actually lived out in the fields or hills with the sheep. My understanding is that they did not do this year round ...read more

Hearts Of Fire

Contributed by Jesse Crooks on May 4, 2023

All of us have our Emmaus roads. People disappoint us, circumstances disappoint us, and careers disappoint us. Sometimes it seems that God has disappointed us like He did these disciples, disappoints us when He does not act in the way or in the time we expect Him to.

Hearts a Fire (Luke 24:13-35) 13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, ...read more

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 27, 2007

God is concerned with the condition of our heart. We are to seek purity of heart in two ways: (1) be right, and (2) be true. Our words and deeds must be in sync with our heart.

Noticed Jesus did not say “Blessed are the pure…” which is correct too. • But He said, “Blessed are the pure IN HEART.” The emphasis is right. • Man concerns the outward – we want to look good, to make an impression. • We need to place more emphasis on what is unseen – the attitudes of our ...read more
