    Simeon's Eyes And Mary's Heart

    Contributed by Dawn Marie Turner on Dec 23, 2002
    based on 94 ratings

    The blessings of Simeon by the Spirit and the love of Mary.

    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

    This is about being a spiritual example.

    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

    We are all construction workers. What kind of a builder are you in God’s building project? Are you the sloppy, get it done fast kind - or an expert builder. Find out how to become a master tradesman in God’s kingdom.

    For an audio copy of this message, go to www.LivingWatersWeb.com and search for 2003-017. When I was a high school student I admit I didn’t understand wood shop. I just didn’t get why it was so important to build a bird house in just the prescribed manner. I didn’t care much about building at all. ...read more

    Where The Spirit Of The Lord Is

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 25, 2012
     | 7,239 views

    We don’t need Pentecost again as such, just as we don’t need Jesus’ birth, death, or resurrection to occur again. But we constantly need the power of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, in control of our lives and the church.

    5/18/2003 Title: Where the Spirit of the Lord Is Text: “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place…And ...read more

    Learn why we quit following God's lead, the consequences for it and what to do about quitting - let go and trust God's promises.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,707 views

    The hope of Christmas is not a sentimental hope… it’s filled with sentiments of a child born in a manger… of becoming one with us… of making the world a better place… but we must shake off the sentimental hope to take hold of the substance… the prophe

    Intro It’s especially wonderful to gather together tonight. As a teenager… one of the most significant spiritual senses I had came on Christmas Eve… I can still remember at around 16… driving to a late night candlelight services. I was drawn into the wonder… God incarnate. It’s never left me. ...read more

    The Name We Claim Series

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,611 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

    Because God's Contracts Don't Expire Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,967 views

    Before our Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., I was prompted at 5:30 AM Saturday morning to change my planned sermon text to consider Israel’s harvest festival. This sermon is full of details, to be avoided by those who don’t like teaching in preaching.

    This sermon needs a disclaimer and it doesn’t need to be one of those bits of legalese that we see in 6 point type in a print ad, appears briefly in barely legible type at the bottom of a television screen, or is read as rapidly as possible by a radio announcer: “Offer listed is manufacturer’s ...read more

    Paul’s final journey begins with his arrest in Jerusalem, defending himself and God to his accusers, and a rough voyage across tumultuous seas to Rome. Paul never gave up hope or stopped sharing his message of God’s grace and love.

     | 10,819 views

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more

    Jesus is the constant, consistent, completely sufficient source of our salvation.

    Three or four summers ago we did a family vacation trip that included a stop at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.

    No matter how far we have strayed from the Lord, seeking the Lord with our whole heart will bring forgiveness, spiritual satisfaction and peace.
