    There are several observations we can make about David in this conflict

    (I attended a clergy roundtable sponsored by the Ockenga Institute of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where we discussed this passage, and the following sermon is more of a group effort, our collective thoughts on the various strengths David drew from) We’re quite familiar with the ...read more

  • More Than All

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,090 views

    It isn’t how much you give to the work of the church that matters. It is how much you keep for yourself that concerns God.

    Mark 12: 38 – 44 / More Than All Intro: In 1975 I assumed my duties as the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian church in South Bend, Indiana. It was a unique ethnic congregation with many customs and traditions. One such “tradition” was the publishing of the annual “Scandal Sheet of Giving.” --- A ...read more

  • We The People: Rediscovering Sabbath

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 3, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,203 views

    Fall 1987: Sabbath is about far more than doing whatever you feel like doing. It is a chance to be authentic, in relationship with God, and it is meant to be a delight and not a burden.

    Be honest now. This morning when the alarm rang or when your wife nudged you in the ribs; when your mom screamed something about being late -- what was your reaction? What did you feel about getting up and going to church? I asked you to be honest – but not necessarily out loud! Now thus ...read more

  • Struggling To Know Who We Are Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,033 views

    Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

    A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change. Some of us just refuse to use our real names. We go by Butch or Bud or Sissie or some such ...read more

    This is the fourth of a five-part series of messages on managing relationships with love and Godly character. This sermon focuses on giving selflessly to others in our core relationships.

    I don’t know if you need this message today, but I guarantee you I do. We are in the middle of a series entitled No Wake Zone. We’re looking at some Biblical principles that, if we would follow, would really create no wake zone relationships. Relationships, we’ve said, of rest and refreshment ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 31,466 views

    The story of the prodigal son has been repeated in our lives again and again as we like the prodigal rebel against God’s path for us until we come to the realization of our actions and being filled with regret, repent and return to find restoration.

    HOMECOMING LUKE 15:11-24A Introduction: Luke 15 tells us the story of a wonderful homecoming. The steps leading up to that homecoming are steps that were anything but easy; but necessary. A young man played the fool and learned the hard way what it meant to be away from the love, joy and safety of ...read more

  • Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,696 views

    When we think we are too busy to pray, we are succumbing to the issue of control: either we suppose we can manage everything or we want to abdicate. Prayer is the way to find priorities and strength.

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time. Of these ten thousand or so, not all will get there every time, but sometimes many more than that will show ...read more

    Understanding God’s heart for the world has begin by understanding what God thinks about each of us and how he asks us to live.

    I am really excited this year about our theme which is “God’s Heart for the World.” Most everyone knows John 3:16 in that it says, “For God loved the…world…so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that…everyone…who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” As much as so many ...read more

    If we are to have revival and a fresh outpouring from God it is necessary for us to see ourselves as God sees us. This includes understanding where God wants us to be, where we are at, and how to get back to where we should be.

    CONDITIONS FOR REVIVAL: SEEING YOURSELF AS GOD SEES YOU PROVERBS 21:2 Introduction: We have been looking at what it is going to take to see God’s power working in our lives and through us in the lives of the church and our community. We have observed how Isaiah was transformed by seeing God in His ...read more

  • Can I Get A Lift?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,928 views

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more

    The key to making Lent a time of growth.

    Ash Wednesday Homily 2010 There’s not much chance today that someone will see the ashes on your forehead and say “Oh, what a wonderfully pious person that is.” It’s more likely that someone who doesn’t know you are Catholic will ask, “did you know there’s ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,214 views

    Just as four friends of a paralytic cut through a roof of clay, manure, and twigs to get closer to Jesus, we need to be honest and cut the crap in our lives that is separating us from Christ. It is the things that separate us from God that Jesus died to

    6 Mark – Cut the Crap Mark 2:1-12 It has taken the first five weeks to get through the first chapter of Mark. In the first chapter we have seen Mark establish:  Who Jesus is – The Holy one of God  That Jesus didn’t just come for Religious types, but all ...read more

  • Lost And Found

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,221 views

    Many today carelessly go around unaware of the imminent danger of dying unsaved and spending an eternity in Hell. They’re not seeking deliverance as they’re unaware they’re lost. Before one can be delivered they first must see they are lost.

    Lost and Found Matthew 18:10-14 Introduction: The famous “Johnstown Flood” of May 31, 1889 was likely the single most newsworthy item in American history between the assassination of Lincoln and World War I. At 3:10 p.m. on May 31, 1889, following a full-day of unprecedented heavy rains, a ...read more
