    based on 60 ratings
     | 19,410 views

    The "Motive" of Christ’s death on the cross is fairly clear in Scripture... but there are people who are offended by that message.

    OPEN: (We started the sermon playing the theme music for "CSI Miami". Then commented:) Some of you may be asking “What in the world was that?” That was the theme music from the hit TV show “CSI Miami”. There’s CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York… and for the next few weeks we’re going to be ...read more

    1- We must hunger and thirst 2- We must strive for purity

    INTRO.- ILL.- There was this preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he got, he could be found on the golf course swinging away. It was an obsession. One Sunday was a picture-perfect day for golfing. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was just right. The preacher ...read more

    Is God Fair?

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 10, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,705 views

    To answer the question, we also have to ask: 1. Is God just? 2. Is God impartial? 3. Is God fair?

    Life is not fair. Most of us understand that. It was not fair that some children died at birth or had crippling diseases, and I have been allowed to live and enjoy good health. It was not fair that some were born with cerebral palsy and I was able to grasp difficult concepts and get passing ...read more

    Humility is the key to salvation, sanctification and evangelism.

    “O Lord, It’s Hard to be Humble” Luke 18:9-14 You wouldn’t think it would be all that difficult. We were all formed from the same dust of the earth, by the same Creator. Basically, our bodies are pretty much the same. We all get sick, we all need to eat, all of us are lonely at times, ...read more

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son?.

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over.

    Jesus Was Baptized Too

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 8, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 21,073 views

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    Games People Play: “Battleship” Matthew 5:21-26, 38-48 INTRODUCTION: Do you remember the game "Battleship"?
