    based on 157 ratings
     | 15,357 views

    IN THIS SERMON, WE SEE THAT JESUS IS THE DOOR TO ABUNDANT SALVATION, IS THE DOOR TO ABUNDANT SERVICE, AND IS THE DOOR TO ABUNDANT SUPPLY

    THE DOOR TO ABUNDANT LIFE John 10:9-11 There three classes of people here today, 1) People who have existence, but no eternal life, 2) People who have life, having been saved by Jesus, 3) People who have been saved by Jesus and have abundantly life.

    Seeks to expound the Ascension in its Historical, Spiritual and Practical context

    THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST If you had looked at your diary last Thursday (that would have been six weeks after Easter) you might have seen the heading "Ascension Day", but then it might not be there because Ascension Day is one of the neglected feast days of the Christian church.

    Are You Comfortable?

    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,340 views

    We may be lulled to sleep and even to spiritual death by self-satisfaction.

    One of the greatest problems facing the Church, today, is that far too many of us are comfortable. A. If a person is satisfied, there is no challenge or drive to go any further or do any more. 1. This satisfaction can show itself in many areas....in almost all but one, it is ...read more

    You don’t have to live like many of those around us are living—in despair and fear and shame. You can have a new life. You can put on a new self.

    So…Live On Another Level Pastor Jim Luthy Ephesians 4:17-24 You’ve pursued understanding and received grace. So what? That’s a great question: "So what?" We’ve reduced it to be the question of the lazy and uncooperative: "So?" But the truth is, people who make a difference ask that question. ...read more

    based on 90 ratings
     | 14,393 views

    This exploration of Jabez’s prayer is an invitation to deeper Christian discipleship, beginning with a prayer for the Lord to draw us closer.

    Luanne Oleas presented the following story in Reader’s Digest: When the 1960s ended, San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district reverted to high rent, and many hippies moved down the coast to Santa Cruz. They had children and got married, too, though in no particular sequence. But they didn’t name ...read more

    based on 220 ratings
     | 21,498 views

    Jesus looked at the righteousness of those considered to be very religious in his day. Then he raised the bar to a level most would have considered impossible.

    Understanding the Kingdom - Part 5 3-25-01 INTRODUCTION In Jr. High, as part of my school’s track and field team, it was tough for me to find a field event.

    Coming Home On Father's Day

    Contributed by David Washburn on Jun 11, 2002
    based on 135 ratings
     | 47,816 views

    Father’s Day is a day to honor our father, our Heavenly Father. Jesus’ parable about the prodigal son is a pure reflection of a loving father and what it means to come home on Father’s Day.

    Dads, today is our day, but Father’s Day has somehow never been held in as high regard as Mother’s Day. Mother’s just have that certain something. After all, whenever you see someone holding a sign or mouthing “hello,” they’re saying, “Hi, Mom,” and usually not, “Hi Dad.” Now, I’m not complaining, ...read more

    Our Quick Change Society

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 17, 2005
    based on 64 ratings
     | 7,022 views

    Society seems to go by us so fast we do not have the time to assess it or where we are in it. We are admonished to focus on the Lord, not on our ever-changing world. (From a wonderful sermon I read on Sermon Central.)

    Incredible changes have taken place in the past hundred years. We are experiencing more change than ever in history. The rate of change is so great that we barely catch our breath before another blast of change slams into us. Everything we’re familiar with is changing, right before our eyes. We ...read more

    Dear brothers and sisters, have you ever driven a Datsun sedan? You know those little cars, before the company changed its name to Nissan? Datsuns were very easy on gas, could make a U-turn almost anywhere, and lasted nearly forever. The body might have rusted out but the engine kept on going and ...read more
