Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jul 9, 2010

So why did they stop off at Abraham's place first? Just passing by, saw your light on and thought we would drop in? Lord, let me have that kind of light, but what was the point of eating a meal with Abraham and then going on?

Now with the media tracking you and keeping you accountable, the way you live out your life daily will send a message to others who you really are and what is your calling. This should not stop you to live out God’s call.

Opening Illustration: Jesus has become popular again. His name pops up in the news all the time. In 2004 Mel Gibson did what Billy Graham could not do. Through his movie The Passion of the Christ, he took the cross of Jesus and planted it squarely in the middle of American public life. For a few ...read more

Compassionate Grace

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 20, 2016

Jesus was never to busy to stop and help whoever was in need. Wether a tax collector, or a rich young ruler. He showed grace to everyone, all the way to the cross. If we call ourselves Christian and we are Christ, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?

Compassionate Grace Matthew 18:35-42 NKJ 35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, ...read more

Easter's Over... Now What

Contributed by Phillip Hefner on Apr 29, 2013

After Easter is over, what are we to do now.... What are we to do with it. Jesus shows us that this is not the time to hurry on to the next event in our lives, but a time to stop... reflect... and let the true meaning of what we have just experienced ch

Welcome to the Sunday after Easter…. I wanted to start by asking this question – “Now what?” What do we do now that Easter’s over. If you look at our “church year” you will see a cycle that begins with Advent… preparing for the birth of Jesus. ...read more

Father, Forgive Them Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015

So what do we learn about Jesus? First, prayer was at the heart of Jesus’ life. The second thing we learn is that no person is beyond hope. Third, don’t stop praying. Fourth, don’t forget the mission

“Father, forgive them” Luke 23:33-38 The last words of a person’s life are a mysterious thing. Some last words reveal a lot about the personality of the person. They can speak volumes about their heart and who they are. P. T. Barnum, d. 1891 “How were the receipts today at ...read more

Where Is The Power In Abiding In The Vine?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 4, 2014

When God stops you from doing something that you think is achieving, he is only to prepare you for something bigger, so take heart: it is not about you, it is about God, and what he wants; and fortunately he aligns our desires with his.

Are We Surrendered?

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on May 9, 2019

From 1908 to 2018, the Church of the Nazarene grew from 10,000 members to 2.5 million. They surrendered. They heard the call, the Great Commission given to every Christian, and they submitted. I think this is the problem that Christianity in general is facing today. Christians stopped surrendering.

The Church Manual states that “The Church of the Nazarene recognizes all believers are called to minister to all people.” I love that statement. I love it because it really sums up how the Church of the Nazarene from its earliest days really felt the burden of the Great Commission and from the ...read more

The Great Questions Of Christmas

Contributed by John White on Dec 3, 2018

Christmas is a time for questioning. It is the year's end. In the life of a church it is the climax of a year's worship and service unto God. A time when every individual should have a close look at his relationship to Christ and stop and reassess his committal.

THE GREAT QUESTIONS OF CHRISTMAS Isa. 7:14 "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Isa. 9:6-7 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his ...read more

Abgail Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on May 23, 2018

As I read about our heroine today and listened to the messages on the other unsung heroes of the faith, I see that that they had courage right in the face of fear. They did not let fear stop them from doing what is right or from intervening in the lives o

Bethel: The Prophet Who Never Came Back Home

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Aug 30, 2020

The prophet who cried out against Jeroboam's pagan altar in Bethel was on his way back home but stopped for a rest. Maybe he shouldn't have done this--he never made it back to his home alive.

Preface In the Old Testament, sometimes the Lord gives us a look at the successes of His prophets, but sometimes we get another view. Some prophets were murdered. like Uriah, who fled to Egypt, but was brought back to Judah and executed (see Jeremiah 26:20-23). Other prophets were more or less ...read more

Let Go And Let God

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go.” We have to stop allowing ourselves to be controlled by the things of this world that hinder our usefulness to Him. Letting go and letting God is called faith.

Our sermon this evening is entitled “Let Go and Let God.” The title is derived from a popular statement used among Christians today. Before we can “let God,” or allow Him to work in our life, we have to “let go,” or throw off the chains that hinder our usefulness to the Lord. We have to stop ...read more

Five Secrets For Winners – Philippians 3:12-21 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Apr 2, 2022

We need to stop and remind ourselves of who we are: Believers in Jesus who are serving him in a marathon, not a sprint, toward his kingdom. Therefore, let us never forget, or even minimize, who were are or what our “upward call” is.

Paul the apostle must have been a sports fan. I say that because he uses a lot of terminology in the scriptures related to sports. He says – We don't wrestle with just flesh and blood. That's a wrestling illustration. He says – We fight the good fight. That's a boxing illustration. But ...read more

The Playground - The Ghetto - The Child And His Dad

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 20, 2021

The difference was plain as day! It was a quick trip to the park on a Saturday evening. Nothing major, just a few minutes with the family to get out the hyper-activity. I didn’t notice it right away, but once it sank in, there was no stopping the waves of sadness, frustration, and anger.
