    For David, the cost of sacrifice was 50 silver shekels and an altar to God. For us, the cost was the life of Jesus Christ

    Life of David: The Cost of Nothing 2 Samuel 24:18-25 READ 2 SAMUEL 24:18-25 INTRODUCTION I have to admit that when I began looking at this passage, I had in mind to preach on giving. The passage that we just read has a great example of giving and sacrifice for the sake of God. God directs David ...read more

    This sermon does not deal with the popular book series indicated by the title, but deals with what we have left behind to follow Jesus.

    Left Behind Luke 18:18-30 PSCOC 3/26/06 Introduction: The seeker friendly Jesus. 1. The Real New Testament. I recently read about a new Bible out that is targeted to young people into hip-hop. How is it that the Bible in the common language can no longer captivate people’s attention that we ...read more

    The women going to the Tomb - Women’s work - find the miricle - the women’s work is a chosen ministry to the Lord - their Lord - Death is a simple math problem - Jesus Changes the math!

    Woman’s work Mark 16:1-8 I have gotten my self in trouble several times when I made a remark about some task like cleaning or cooking as “Woman’s work.” I really did make it in jest. I made it to get a response from the women present. Sometimes, I had to work really hard to make a formal ...read more

    Suffering Reduces Sin Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Mar 7, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,189 views

    The Apostle Peter shows us that when we work through suffering in a godly way, those habits and sins we cannot rid ourselves of, start to fade away.

    What is the thing that Americans fear the most? It is not taxes, or speaking in public, or even death…no. What Americans fear the most is – suffering. It can all be summed up when a loved one dies and death comes quickly to them. What do we say? At least they didn’t suffer….. Americans fear ...read more

    This a Sermon that can be done as a drama. No props needed but a glass of water.

    Luke 15:1-3; 11-32 (ESV) Wow, thanks for letting me rest here for awhile and for the water. It has been a long journey, and I needed to catch my breath. I am excited to go and see some of my cousins, but really, I can’t wait for the trip to be over and to get back to my own village. I am just a ...read more

    Prince Of Peace...?

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 15, 2005
    based on 134 ratings
     | 23,820 views

    A look at Jesus’ statements about coming to bring not peace, but division.

    With this speech, Jesus certainly grabs our attention. “Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.” It’s not exactly what most of us come to church on Sunday morning hoping to hear. To a large extent our families are what make us who we are, where we ...read more

    In Mark 14, we see four different group/people having different views of Jesus. They attach different value to Him. Consider Jesus’ value in your life as we ponder these perspectives.

    Let’s begin this morning with a multiple choice question: If you could become any one of these four people, which would you choose? (a) The richest, most successful businessman in the world; (b) The most popular, most attractive movie star in the world; (c) The president of the United States; ...read more

     | 14,223 views

    At it’s heart, the Book of Ruth is a love story. And since it is Scripture, we can learn a lot from it…

    THE HALLMARKS OF TRUE LOVE Ruth 3:1-18 INTRO: Today I want to talk to you about love. What is love? How do you define it, describe it? Here’s one attempt to do that… Show clip from Moulin Rouge where love is described as a series of song titles… Hallmark cards that purport to tell us the meaning ...read more

    Joseph

     | 9,860 views

    Advent is a time of preparation and repentance, and it turns out that Joseph’s story has a few things to teach about those very things.

    Joseph…the husband of Mary. The Bible doesn’t really tell us that much about Joseph. Legend has it that he was an elderly widow. Supposedly that explains why he was able to honor Mary’s virginity during the first months of their marriage and why he quietly disappears from the narrative sometime ...read more
