    Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007
     | 2,686 views

    Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

    Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more

    The message today might seem a bit harsh but Jesus spoke and we have to preach it. I admit I am more comfortable whispering repentance and shouting grace.

    TEXT; MATTHEW 5:27-32 TITLE: “Would You Be Blind” INTRODUCTION: Most Sundays I am excited to preach. I’m usually fired up to prepare a message and present it. I have to admit that it’s not really the case today. The passage we’re going to study this morning is a tough and controversial ...read more

     | 8,535 views

    When we face persecution and rejection for our life in Christ, we can take courage in the fact that one day, we will find out that it was worth it all and much more.

    Introduction: We can take courage in the fact that one day, all those who ridicule and persecute us for our faith, if they do not repent, will have to face God. We need to be telling others about Him so they can avoid this encounter. Pressure o Some can take more than others o We all respond ...read more

    Known By Love Series

    based on 16 ratings
     | 8,419 views

    As Christians, we are more known for what we are against than what we are for. Ironically, Jesus said we were to be known by love, and that is how the world will recognize us.

    Last week, we started looking at what the world around us wants to know about Christians. We talked about the kind of faith that the world around us is saying, do you have that kind of faith? Today, we are going to look at love. I told you last week, that one verse has been driving me as a ...read more

    In introducing the gifts we need to understand and desire the giver of the gifts more than the gifts themselves. This is a sermon about who the Spirit is (God) and some of what he does in us.

    ILL: Jason was a friend who was one of those people who seemed good at everything. He was artistic, outgoing, smart, a good preacher. I was glad to call him my friend, but boy, did I feel inferior! Do you ever feel like that around others? We may not all be Jason’s, but the reality is every ...read more

    Urban Legend #2: God Wants Me Happy All The Time Series

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,814 views

    The bad news: God doesn’t want me happy all the time. The good news: He wants me more than happy. He wants me blessed.

    It may surprise you, but God’s number one concern is not my happiness. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn ...read more
