    One year into a stewardship campaign we can learn from Paul’s advice to the Corinthians. Finish what you started a year previously.

    INTRODUCTION An elderly man won $1,000,00 in a lottery. His family was worried about him because he had a bad heart. They were afraid that when they told him he’d won the $1,000,000 he might drop dead of shock. So they went to their minister hoping that he would find the best way to break the ...read more

     | 4,830 views

    If our children are going to recognize God as loving and forgiving, they must see us practicing an expression and an experience of forgiveness ourselves.

    What Parents Owe Their Children: A Familiarity with Forgiveness As a parent, one of the most worrisome thoughts I’ve ever heard is this: As my children grow up and try to figure out who this mysterious person called “God” is, they will in large part base their impressions of who God is on who I ...read more

    Can Christians today be restored to full time Christian ministry such as Peter was after denying the Lord three times?

    Restored” Have you ever lost something or misplaced something and you couldn’t remember where you had placed that something. If you are like me you take that something and place it in a safe place where you know you can find it again. The problem with this is that after a certain amount of ...read more

     | 8,412 views

    God wants the repentant sinner to give his/her life to him. This message preachers to the people of God encouraging them not to be like those who procrastinated as illustrated in Jesus’s great parable on the wise and the foolish.

    (25:1) "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto ten virgins, which took there lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom". (25:2) "And five of them were wise, and five were foolish." (25:3) "They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them. (25:4) "But the wise took oil in ...read more

    The Man Who Hated Christmas

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 125 ratings
     | 11,958 views

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    Nothing But The Truth

    based on 116 ratings
     | 9,891 views

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

    Is The Price Too High?"

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 12,590 views

    today the question we look at is this: Is the price of being a Christian too high?

    Whenever I buy something, whether it is a car or a gallon of milk, I always check the price. The question always is: Am I willing to pay this amount, or is the price too high? If I stop at a gas station to get a gallon of milk, and see a price of $3, I think: OK, I could pick it up for 20 cents ...read more

    Dealing With Doubt

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 145 ratings
     | 10,102 views

    When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

    Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more

    based on 135 ratings
     | 20,200 views

    The Wise Men remind us that true worship comes from the heart.

    Matthew 2:1-12 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, ...read more

    Jesus wants what you have, and who you are: when you don’t take the place in the Body of Christ that God has designed for you, that place remains empty.

    You have perhaps experienced as I have, that life can be humbling sometime. A five-year-old was sitting with her grandfather in her room one day, and she asked him, “Grandpa, did God make you?” “Yes, child,” came the reply. “God made me.” The child paused for a moment, and then asked, “And ...read more

     | 8,096 views

    This sermon was preached to introduce our LIFE Groups to the congregation

    They were the ultimate church plant. They started with 11, grew to 120, then to 3000. Not bad, as a matter of fact very good. But how did they do it? I guess that question has to be asked by anyone who is even remotely interested in church growth. What was the secret that they had that allowed ...read more
