    The Practice Of Slowing Series

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 15, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,221 views

    We need to practive slowing (solitude) to spend quiet time with God in order to draw closer to him and allow him to transform us.

    Hurry has actually become a sickness, a disease for us in the U.S…which is ironic with all these “time savers” we have. “Time magazine noted that back in the 1960s, expert testimony was given to a subcommittee of the Senate on time management. The essence of it was that because of the advance in ...read more

    In looking into the reality of spiritual authenticity of worship, walk, and witness, this sermon looks into the first part of worship "is not".

    Worship IS NOT! When speaking of the relationship between the Jews and the Samaritans of this time we must understand that there was a hatred and bitterness greater than any that we could probably imagine. The closest example I can think of to relate Jews and Samaritans may be that of segregation ...read more

    How relevant could a baby born 2000 years ago really be to us in the 21st century? Does Jesus’ birth really impact me today? If so, how? Answer the questions your audience is asking by preaching this sermon.

    The Unseen Battle Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 6, 2021

     | 9,121 views

    In addition to a prayer of repentance, Daniel also offered up a prayer for the release of the Jews from their captivity in Babylon. Yet, the answer to his prayer was delayed, and it had something to do with an unseen battle.

    In Daniel chapter 9 (which I said would be our last message in this series) we see where Daniel took it on himself to intercede on behalf of all the people of Israel who were in captivity in Babylon; and Daniel was just one individual, yet the Lord heard his supplication. Daniel’s prayer reminds ...read more

    I remember when Mark McGwire broke into Major League Baseball in 1987. I was 13 when that happened. And I was enamored with his power at the plate. He was only a rookie then, and he hit some mammoth home runs. My dad used to pitch to me in the backyard, and I would imitate Mark McGwire’s ...read more

    I am not a traditionalist in some things as you can probably imagine. The traditional way to write a sermon is to find your biblical text, write the sermon and then pick the title. I work a bit backwards; I come up with the title, find the text and then write the sermon. Sometimes that gets me ...read more

     | 4,537 views

    Early believers were able to face opposition and tribulation because they focused upon their identity, following Jesus. What is our identity?

    Sometimes, we get suckered in by the idea that identity and relationship are not important. We buy into Shakespeare’s rhetorical question and answer from Act II, Scene II of Romeo and Juliet: What is in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We ...read more
