Stewardship Of A "Patchless” Life Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 3, 2010

The Pharisees lived by a "patches" theology - if they could patch over the sin in their lives, the hole didn’t exist anymore. But Christians are not called to patch our old way of life. Do you know what we’re to do instead?

OPEN: I’ve noticed over the years that kids love jokes that are plays on words. For example, when I was a kid (now I never did this myself, you understand), but I’ve known kids who would call a neighbor and ask: “Is your refrigerator running?” (pause). When the person on the other end of the line ...read more

Transcending Tradition Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jul 6, 2009

While looking at the disciplines of fasting and Sabbath, this message encourages believers not to let any tradition steal their joy or their love. We can’t be so into church business that we forget what our business is, and that is to help people.

Transcending Tradition (Mark 2:18 – 3:6) Just this last week, I came across some odd laws that are still on the books around the country. I think you’ll find them quite amusing. For example, young girls are never allowed to walk a tightrope in Wheeler, Mississippi, unless it’s in a church. In ...read more

"When God Gives You A Little More Time" Series

Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Dec 3, 2005

This sermon shows how God will and can change His mind to give us a little more time and to show us that our condition is not our conclusion.

The old cliché says, “Time waits on no man.” The American Heritage College Dictionary defines time as a nonspatial continuum in ...read more

People Jesus Commended For Their Giving Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 13, 2008

Most people think it’s rude to talk about other people’s giving but Jesus didn’t have any qualms about it.
