    based on 268 ratings
     | 54,967 views

    God is holy, and not to be trifled with. We wisely enter His presence with the awareness that He is a consuming fire.

    “Death and the Dance: David, Uzzah, and the Ark”, II Samuel 6 This chapter qualifies as one of the difficult passages of Scripture. We are taken aback at the harsh action of God, in what we might regard as a merciless act of justice. On the surface, we see Uzzah doing what appears as a ...read more

    Christ calls us to fish with his grace and to catch others for his kingdom, even as we have been caught.

    Saturday mornings I usually catch the “Fishing Report” on WWL AM 870. The host offers all sorts of fishing tips for the area -- advice on what kind of lures or bait to use in certain water temperature and depth. He talks about when it’s best to fish and where to fish -- all good advice. I need ...read more

We should care about doing what God wants us to do because it’s good for God, it’s good for ...read more

    The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

    OPEN: A 5-yr-old said grace at family dinner one night. "Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he finished his prayer, his parents looked curiously at him and asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were having chicken. He smiled and said, "I thought I’d see if He was ...read more

    FORGIVING—WHEN YOUR WORLD FALLS APART (Matthew 18:21-35) (Review the Gospel lesson, Matthew 18:21-35. Peter asks, “How many times should I forgive?” Jesus gives a number, but his point is that we should ask another question: “How many times does God forgive me?” Put yourselves in the shoes of the ...read more

    Who Is The Greatest?

    Contributed by Chris Surber on Sep 26, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 20,549 views

    This is a message on what it takes to be "The Greatest" in God’s Kingdom. It discusses the role of a "Servant Leader" and seeks to explore specifics about being "great" in the Kingdom of God.

    Who is the Greatest? Illustration: Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. But it hasn’t always been that way. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali used to “float like a butterfly” and “sting like a bee”. He dazzled crowds with his amazing ...read more

    Based on the Dial commercial, you’re not as clean as you think, we take the congregation to a realization of our need to experience forgiveness. I have a powerpoint available with video clips, via email upon request.

    From late-night, insomnia-driven infomercials to risque nude shower commercials, we are bombarded with the marketing mantra of cleaners claims as they try to siphon money out of our wallet.
