    Baggage

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 5, 2011
     | 16,531 views

    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

    God Honors Mothers

     | 12,351 views

    So often when we read similar texts, the father is named first. But, in this case perhaps the Lord placed the mother first to show her importance to the family unit.

    MOTHER’S DAY EXHORTATION Leviticus 19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 1. GOD HONORS MOTHERS In most places, when God speaks relating to parents in the Bible, we usually hear about the father first. However, God speaking to the ...read more

    Be prepared for trouble to come.

    Behold I Am Sending You Out Matthew 10:16-23 (AMP) 16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless, and without falsity) as doves. 17 Be on guard against men [whose way or nature is to act in opposition to ...read more

    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 182 views

    The parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast point us to a truth that's uncomfortable at first: the Kingdom might not look that impressive the first time you look at it.

    UNIMPRESSIVE: Jesus acknowledges that many will initially see the Kingdom as insignificantly small. - Luke 13:18-21. - Matthew 13:31-33; Mark 4:30-32. - I guess you could say that sometimes we hype up Jesus and His Kingdom too much. - “Who wouldn’t want this?” - “It’s so obviously true and ...read more

    The first of five messages exploring the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Today's message, For His Glory, takes a look at the first petition, "Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name."

    For His Glory • Matthew 6:9 • May 15-16, 2010 Introduction: The Lord’s Prayer is one of the most WELL-KNOWN prayers of Christianity. Many believe this model prayer provides the appropriate FORMULA for WHAT we should prayer. However, Jesus models for us the appropriate ATTITUDE ...read more

     | 4,476 views

    Through the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, God comes to us that we may come together.

    Going on a field trip is something that every elementary student looks forward to. Teachers use field trips to make more tangible the lessons they want to teach.

    Dealing with the coming of the Lord,

    ARE YOU READY FOR THE RAPTURE? The events that are taking place in our country, and around the world, politically, socially, economically and in the church, are moving us toward the final days of all things, beginning with a war that will produce the “Man of Sin”, the Antichrist.

     | 1,446 views

    The Church at Ephesus started off right but somehow lost their first love. For this New Year, may we be reminded to remember, repent, and re-do what we did at the first.

    (Note: This message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO, on 1-1-2023; but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: This morning we celebrate the start of a brand new year. It’s really kind of difficult to zero in on something that hasn’t been ...read more

    This is the final sermon in a series that examines some of the overlooked gifts that God gave us that first Christmas. This message shows that God gave a gift that first Christmas for each and every person.

    Most of us have a person in our lives that is impossible to buy for. The question that plagues many of us during the season is, “What do you get the person that has everything?” The answer is, “a gift card.” A recent New York Times article looked at the gift card industry. ...read more

    The Light has come to dispell the darkness of the humna heart. Come, walk in His self-revelation.

    A Greater Than Edison Is Here! Isaiah 9:2,6-7 AS WE MAKE OUR JOURNEY THROUGH THE ADVENT SEASON, one symbol is preeminent—LIGHT! Tree lights, candle lights, houses, buildings, and malls decorated with lights. Perhaps it’s a parable of our times that we are rarely without ...read more
