    Contributed by Tim Patrick on Apr 28, 2008
     | 12,744 views

    Take the first step in rising above the rubble of failure, disappoint, discouragement, and defeat.

    (To open this sermon I showed a picture of the rubble from 9-11. I stated “The rubble from 9-11 or any catastrophe is not a pretty sight. Maneuvering through rubble is not easy. However, the good news is that we can rise above the rubble. All of us have or will have rubble in our lives. There is ...read more

    Mission Festival Sermon: Through the power of the Cross and Resurrection, we are invited to be both builders and spiritual stones in the Spiritual Temple being built by God.

    I want to talk with you today about building, because you see, we’re builders. From the time we’re born, we start building. As babies, we spend all our energy and effort building bodies and vocabularies. As young adults, we build our knowledge and our skill. We build relationships with others. ...read more

    Laziness is a rebellion and wickedness and it brings destruction of the temple/body od Christ. As living stones we are called to live, be active in the building and not sit in the wall.

    Laziness Do you like to be called lazy? Of course not. Who would? But would you believe that the Holy word of God calls somebody lazy? Well, it does. So let’s start with pointing our fingers to someone who was described in the Bible as lazy - this is the safe start. Titus 1,12-13 : "Cretans are ...read more

    Our Cornerstone

     | 8,429 views

    The fact that the church needs a foundation can not be disputed. Let’s take a look at the way the foundation is laid as well as the purpose and types of stone used.

    Psalms 118:22, "The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the Corner." Ephesians 2:20, "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Cornerstone." 1 Peter 2 4-8, "To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed ...read more

    The second in a series on the Parables of Jesus, this expository, three-point sermon explores the stone, the structure, and the storm Jesus described in the parable of the wise and foolish builders.

    PARABLES OF JESUS : THE SOLID FOUNDATION Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/9/14 The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous structures in the world—not because of its gently rising series of arches, but because of its legendary tilt.

    The Paradox Of Pursuing Knowledge About God And Experiencing Him

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,470 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more

    Easter becomes an opportunity to imagine God would be present in our lives to roll away the stone from the graves in the darkest recesses of our souls.

    There is a sign in Theo & Stacy’s Greek Restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that says, “People who believe the dead never come back to life should be here at quitting time.” Let me tell you an Easter story: A long time ago a Frenchman incurred the displeasure of the emperor Napoleon.

    God’s grace replaces our stone hearts with living ones, using unlikely means to prove salvation beats only by His mercy.

    Ezekiel 36 : 26 — “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.” --- 1.

    An introduction and first sermon in a three part Advent Series developed loosly from The Chronicles of Narnia. Additional Sermons: Turkish Delight, Trickes of the Evil One and Miracle at the Stone Table.

    Narnia: Introduction & Explanation It may seem a little strange that we are building our Advent series around a “fairy tale” as C.S. Lewis called his novel, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

    Jesus is teaching the followers an important attitude of effective discipleship. Let’s look at the key actions steps of this attitude that Jesus expects us to apply in our journey to fruitfulness.

    Please read first: Luke 17:5-10 I feel extremely hot in this rope this morning. Isn’t it strange that we are already passing a week in October and still having 85 degree weather?

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.

    Thank God He uses failures! I’m not sure where I would be if God did not use people who continually mess up. I believe there is man in scripture who can totally relate to this. It’s Peter. As I read the accounts of Peter while he faithfully followed Jesus, I also see a passionate ...read more
