    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 10, 2002
    based on 426 ratings
     | 33,787 views

    I’m glad there’s a Father’s Day. Even though it isn’t as significant as Mother’s Day, it still gives us a chance to honor those who stand at the helm & who lead their family through life’s battles.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) ILL. “You,” said the doctor to his patient, “are in terrible shape, & unless something is done you’re going to die. You’re under too much stress, & you’re not ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,341 views

    Through the husband and wife relationship Paul identifies the mysterious relationship that Christ has with His Church. As we enter into a passionate relationship with Christ, He will make us into a LOVING CHRUCH.

    I like the story about the legalistic Seminary student who wanted to have a scriptural basis for everything he did. He felt he was on solid ground if he could quote chapter & verse to okay all his actions. He was doing fine until he fell in love with a beautiful co-ed. He wanted very much to ...read more

    The Value Of Rest

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jul 14, 2002
    based on 178 ratings
     | 27,617 views

    Rest is important. Here are four reasons why.

    By and large, Americans don’t value rest and relaxation. On the contrary, we’ve made a virtue of unceasing labor; we brag about how busy we are, as if the hectic pace of our lives is proof that we’re important and significant. We feel guilty when we’re not working, and we’re suspicious of anyone ...read more

    based on 84 ratings
     | 16,158 views

    Part of a series on Daniel 1-6 called compromise. Sermon deals with prayerlessness.

    [Note: This sermon was adapted from a chapter in John R. Rice’s book, Prayer: Asking and Receiving. I don’t agree with everything in the book, but I liked much of what he had to say in his chapter on prayerlessness.] Daniel 6 In this chapter we find one of the most famous Old Testament ...read more

    A sermon on running the race of life, using the Tour De France and the life of Lance Armstrong as illustrations.

    Today’s message is entitled "Running The Race." This morning, we’re going to see from the Scriptures that all of life is a race to be run. Now, I realize that you may not feel much like running, at eleven o’clock on a Sunday morning in July. In fact, you may not ever feel much like running. But ...read more

    based on 77 ratings
     | 8,012 views

    In order to find the will of God: 1. You have to desire God’s will. 2. You have to do what is necessary to find God’s will. 3. You have to take a step of faith. 4. You have to commit your way to God.

    I have a problem when I go to the store. There are just too many choices. I want to do something as simple as buy some cheese, but I have to decide what kind of cheese. Do I want Provolone, Swiss, Cheddar, American, Pepper, Blue, Brick, Monterey Jack, Muenster, Gouda or Brie. I went to ...read more

    How do we fill up our Churches with radical givers determined to make a difference for the kingdom? Read or use this sermon to inspire a wave of generous- sacrificial giving.

    "Radical giving" Acts 4:32-37 Pastor Bob Hunter (read scripture) (opening illustration) In our home these days, there is such a thing that rules called toddler control. Our children are young, and from a very young age human beings understand that possession is 90% of the law. Only in the ...read more

     | 19,506 views

    The dangers, causes, and cures of fatigue and weariness.

    This morning, I want to ask you a question. Here it is: "Why am I so tired all the time?" Not me personally, but all of us. Because we all experience fatigue and weariness. We may know them as occasional visitors, or as constant and unwelcome companions, but every one of us has made their ...read more

    Two very different churches, aren’t they? Both are very busy in what they are trying to do. But one is dying. Why? What is the church supposed to be? And what is the church supposed to do?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) ILL. In one of my sermons 2 years ago I told you about the Broadway Presbyterian Church in Upper Manhattan, New York. Their story was reported in the January 26, 2002, issue of World Magazine. That article said that in ...read more

     | 19,944 views

    A sermon on hope, using the rescue of the nine coal miners in Pennsylvania as the central illustration.

    This morning, I’d like to consider the topic of "hope". Is hope important? Is it something we need? Is it essential to our happiness, essential even to our survival? For an answer to that question, we could probably talk to the nine coal miners who were rescued this week in Pennsylvania. They spent ...read more

     | 20,350 views

    Life is an ever changing mix of good times, and bad times, and in the mix we take our eyes off of God. This series will show you how to keep our eyes on God no matter what is going on.

    What to Do When… part 2 “When things go wrong” Story – the summer before my sophomore year we had a really big summer camp planned up in the mountains of Tennessee.

    Josiah teaches us the proper response to God’s Word

    Introduction: I heard a story recently about a young preacher who was very gifted with the ability to speak. But as the congregation began to grow and he received more and more compliments, his head began to swell as well. After delivering one of his sermons, a member of the congregation shook ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 9,452 views

    In the characters of III John, Gaius, Demetrius, and Diotrephes, we learn how to bond and we discover what kills relationships. Designed for "punctuation" by organ music between the sections.

    We really need to connect. We are made for fellowship, and if we do not connect with one another, we will dry up and die. We need to connect with God; and we need to connect with one another.

    A Hope For All Seasons

    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,946 views

    True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

    As a pastor, one of the things I’m called upon to do is to comfort those who are going through difficult circumstances. At times of suffering or crisis, people typically look to the minister for support and encouragement. And so, when tragedy strikes, or the storms of life become overwhelming, or ...read more

    Balaam’s sin was to hear only what he wanted to hear from God. It was a matter of the heart desiring the things of this world rather than obedience to God’s will.
