    Part two of an eight part message looking at the 7 churches of Asia

    It was the first of the seven. Out of all the church in all the countries Jesus singled out these seven to originally receive the message of the Revelation, but before they were to read the book Jesus had a message for them. You ever wonder why? Why not just jump in with all the weird and ...read more

    Will you abandon it all for the sake of the call? -Steven Curtis Chapman

    “REAL LIFE” “For the Sake of the Call” Adoniram Judson was a great missionary. He once said about serving God, and success: "There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice it is because someone has suffered before you. If you sacrifice without success it is because someone ...read more

    Left Out, But Locked In

    The Big Idea: When, as a Christian you feel left out of this world, the good news is that you are still locked into God.

    LEFT OUT BUT LOCKED IN Living Courageously In A World that Doesn’t Want You, Knowing Confidently that God Does INTRODUCTION 1. When I last checked, none of us are living as Christians under any direct pressure to reject Christ. In fact, in our society, having a little Christianity is still okay ...read more

    "The Love of God calls us to be who God is to the world."

    The word ‘Cat’ to my dog Sandy is not a word she wants to hear. It evokes an instant response of revulsion and loathing. ‘Grrr. Let me at it.’ Occasionally we’ll be quietly watching television, snoozing away, and a commercial will come on with a cat noise in it. Instant pandemonium. Vroom. The ...read more

    The Resurrection Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,192 views

    The resurrection makes a difference in what we think about Jesus and how we live our lives today.

    A. Once a singing group called The Resurrection was scheduled to sing at a church. 1. Unfortunately, a big snowstorm postponed the performance, so the minister fixed the sign outside the church to read, “The Resurrection is postponed.” I’m sure that created some alarm! 2. Aren’t you glad the ...read more

    Third in a series on managing anger.

    “Managing Anger God’s Way” Pt 3 REVIEW Ephesians 4:26 tells us to be angry. Only four verses later we are told to “put away all anger and wrath.” Which is it? Be angry or put anger away. We have learned that there are two sources of anger. There is Spirit-generated anger and flesh-generated ...read more

    Sermon 2 in the Love As Christ Loved Us series

    When I preached the previous sermon of this ‘one another’ series, I said that our repetitious theme would be, LOVE AS CHRIST LOVED US. My wife’s comment to me during lunch afterwards was, “That’s the harshest sermon on love I’ve ever heard”. Anyone reading this who was there, may remember ...read more

    Jesus’ focus was on the message of the gospel through forgiveness of sin. We often lose our focus and then we may cause damage to the cause of Christ in our community.

    Keep Your Focus Pastor Jim May A few weeks ago I preached on the healing of the leper in Mark chapter 1. If you will remember, Jesus told the leper in Mark 1:44, "… say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,991 views

    Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.

    Title: Once, for all! Scripture: Romans 6:9-14 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves ...read more

    Jesus says that part of the solution to a troubled heart is trust, and He tells His apostles to trust in 3 things: "First of all, trust in My presence. Secondly, trust in My promises. Thirdly, simply trust in Me."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2018) TEXT: John 14:1-6; John 12:13,19 A. Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong? It ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,547 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more
