    HoHum: In one verse Paul reminds Timothy of the gospel in all its fullness. Tries to cover the whole gospel. Some songs try to do that: You came from heaven to earth, to show the way, from the earth to the cross, my debt to pay, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky, Lord I lift ...read more

    The Needs Of A New Convert

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 7, 2014
     | 8,629 views

    Any person that has just come to Christ has many needs. We are going to use Acts 9 verses 10-18 to see what the Bible says about these needs and how we, as Christians can help to supply those needs.

    Last time we saw Saul’s conversion experience. On his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, a bright light from heaven knocked Saul to the ground. He heard the voice of Jesus Christ speak to him asking why He was persecuting Him. We saw the beginning of Saul’s conversion ...read more

    A Godly Mother’s Dream

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014
     | 5,904 views

    What would be a Godly mother’s dream for her family / kids? 1. God’s will. 2. Know and love the Lord. 3. Be people of integrity. 4. Learn from their failures. 5. Live beyond themselves. 6. Pass their faith on.

    A Godly Mother’s Dream There are some great portraits of motherhood in Scripture. I love the picture of the mother of Moses who cared so much for her son that she broke the law in order to teach him the faith of his people. We see the sacrificial love of the mother who appeared before ...read more

    The Many Gifts Of Christmas

    Contributed by David Gant on Dec 31, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 5,975 views

    A Sermon given on Christmas day, but can be adapted to a pre-Christmas message easily. This sermon refocuses the emphasis of gift giving on what we have received in Christ Jesus as a gift.

    THE MANY GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS There has been a lot of re-focus this year on Christmas, and its true meaning. I guess in one sense all of the attacks on Christmas by the Remove-God crowd has accomplished that one thing (even if unintentionally) – it has caused a lot of people to re-think and perhaps ...read more
